Forever Strong in the Work: Gobble Gobble (That's Turkey for Happy Thanksgiving)

(A/N: Hey there everyone! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Here is the week's email, and don't worry, she explains why it's a date late. :D )

Sorry I didn't e-mail yesterday, I forgot to let you all know that we were going to the temple today so today, Tuesday, became our preparation day!

This past week was great!! Work wise, it was really slow which was not great at all...but it was fun! We got to spend Thanksgiving together as missionaries and we had a lot of fun together! I think holidays as missionaries are the best. You're just so filled with the spirit and you're all together for the same purpose and during holiday season, you just really become family. I love these missionaries so much!

This week has been a week to show Heavenly Father how patient we can be! It's been incredibly slow and I can't help to think that it will be like that for the holiday season. But I know that Heavenly Father wants us to work hard and He knows that we are working extremely hard to reach our goal of 1000 baptisms for the mission!

We actually got a new investigator this past week. His name is Marin, he has been taught by the missionaries for over a year now. He said that he wanted to wait a year to get baptized but now that he has been learning for more than a year, he has no excuse. We watched the movie of Joseph Smith with him at a member's home (his really good friend) and it was great!! We asked him to get baptized on December 13 but he said no. I asked him if He believed Joseph Smith was a prophet and he said yes. I asked him if he believed the Book of Mormon was true and he said yes. So I asked him why he wouldn't follow a commandment that God has given us and he said that he just isn't ready yet. So we'll keep working with him!! We know that he'll get baptized soon!!

Well I gotta run! Sorry for the short e-mail!
I love you all! Thank you for everything!!

With much much love,
