Hey everyone!
So this week felt forever long but a lot has happened as well. Last Monday was fun because we took a hike to a waterfall. It was cool because everything was frozen so it was different looking. The best part of the hike was actually throwing watermelon of a cliff! Goood stuff. The biggest thing this week was actually our Zone Conference. Our whole Zone got Facebook which made for a long Zone Conference. Elder Ogden and I gave a training on the initiative for this Christmas which is Light the World, we did the same thing last year and it worked so good so we are doing it again. We had a good time training about it and thinking of some cool ways to share it, all and all it was a good Zone Conference and crazy to think that was my last one. Interviews with president was good as always, it's really great to see the love he has for all his missionaries. This week we had a few lessons with Andre and it went awesome! He is super elect. We have video chat him a few times a week and are in daily contact with him to help him quit smoking and drinking. He is doing great with reading and you can just see the change in his eyes. We were on Exchanges one day and we were teaching him and we taught the word of wisdom in depth, the lesson it's self was a little shaky but he just excepted everything we told and loved it. He is already doing missionary work at his job by trying to get his friends to meet with missionaries as well. We met with him Sunday and talked about his baptism on the 9th of December and he was so excited. A lot of families in the Ward invited him over for thanksgiving but he turned them all down because he wants to fast that day for strength to overcome his smoking! We will also be giving him a blessing that night. He is so on top of it! He is definitely a highlight of the day to teach. We have also put a new family on date for the day after I go home. It's sad I won't be here but I'm just excited they will be baptized. They don't know I want be here yet so that will be hard to tell them. All and all the work is going great and things are well! Hope you all have a great thanksgiving!
