Happy Thanksgiving!

This week had it's ups and downs. Saturday and Sunday I had a 103 degree fever so I was pretty much out of order. I still haven't eaten anything in like three days because my tummy just isn't feeling it. However, I am feeling much better today. I have gotten some good rest......like more than I have my entire life at one time hehe, and people have been so kind to offer anything thing that I might need. I never get sick so this was quite the experiences haha. It has been going around big time so it doesn't really surprise me but I was hoping that I might be able to avoid it. I just felt bad not being able to do much for two days and I really don't want to get anyone else sick so I have been keeping my distance. This week was a bit slow too as far as lessons go but we are so grateful that we have had the few lessons that we did get . This area used to be completely dead. Like, there was nothing here, but over the last 8-ish months it finally started to move forward. It is like a roller coaster from week to week. Some weeks we get a ton of lessons and others we get hardly any. We really need to find new investigators so we have been focusing our efforts on finding lately. The Holidays take up so much of everyone's time too, so that doesn't really help. Speaking of, the church just launched a new campaign called He is the Gift. It will have a billboard in Time Square, several commercials on Youtube and all of the missionaries around the world have been asked to give out 10 of the special cards each day until Christmas. I'm excited to see what it brings. Just think, 88 thousand missionaries times ten cards every day for 28 days! that is huge! You should go watch the video too. It is so good and only 3 minuets. 

Ya know, I thought that the Holidays away from home would be a lot harder for me. I'm not saying that being away from home is easy or that I don't miss you all, but it has been cool spending the Holidays completely devoted to something other than yourself. All of those little things that used to mean so much to me don't really matter that much any more. It really has been a cool, once in a lifetimes experience.

Thanksgiving was great. We had it with the Buckwalter's and some of their family. After dinner we played some fun games and then it was back to proselyting as usual. Since almost nobody wants to be bothered on Thanksgiving, we made a whole bunch of cookies and cards and delivered them to all of our investigators and less actives. I heard someone say this week "If you woke up in the morning with nothing other than what you thanked God for the night before, what would you have?" I thought that that was pretty thought provoking, eh? I would encourage each of you to dedicate one prayer this week to only giving thanks. You will be amazed about just how much you have to be thankful for.  

Well, I love you all so much! I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful family that loves and supports me. Good luck with everything! 

Love ya lots,

Sister Prows
