I sure that your thanksgiving dinner was better than ours! haha. Well a certain family had signed up to feed us thanksgiving like a month ago. Well it turns out they didn't do some very good math because the mom had a baby the night before thanksgiving! So we weren't really sure if we should still go but they had a bunch of family in town and they cooked and everything but it was still pretty chaotic!, but a good as well

As far as the rest of thanksgiving it was awesome! We won the turkey Bowl!! It was a lot of fun and there was one zone that was really into it and borderline playing dirty but we still creamed them! Yeah president McCraken isn't crazy about the turkey bowl since missionaries do get hurt, but he still lets us. It was just flag football and nobody got hurt so it was all good. Yeah I heard about the VT game! thats funny that Rory and Grandma were thinking UVA was going to win. ha.

This week we got a new solid investigator named Savannah! When we first taught her we were pretty bummed cause we thought we would have to pass her of to the Singles Ward elders cause she is 19(like we have before), but she has a kid so we get to teach her. She is really great and read far more than we even asked her to. I really hope it goes somewhere, I think it will. Her family is really nice to. The work is still slowly picking up. One of the bishops really guilt tripped the priesthood leaders in PEC and I think they will start helping us more. I am kind of freaking out though since my companion is leaving in a little bit I am going to have to remember everyone and how to get everywhere! AHH!!

This week on Wednesday is Zone Conference so half the missionaries get together and Pres and all the important people are there...yeah and they asked me to do a musical number! I am doing Joy to the World and I have practiced in my spare time a little this week. I can play it fine but I know that I am going to be all nervous when it comes time to play. So please, say a little prayer for me Wednesday!

Well thats about it I think. Things are going well and my companion isn't getting really trunky. He talks about it a lot but it isn't slowing us down so thats good. I love you and miss you. Have a good week!
