Funny: we had our ward Thanksgiving party this last week and
it was amazing. More returning members and people we are teaching were there than
active members! They had a lot of food though and after they were done where
did it all go? To the missionaries of course. We had a very full fridge so we
thought it would be a good idea to donate a pan of mashed potatoes to the other
wards party that was happening the next day. Yesterday we were in their house
talking to them and they opened the fridge and there in all its glory was our
pan of mashed potatoes that the other elders had gotten as
"leftovers" from their party. Haha, it is a literal game of hot potato.
Spiritual: This week was a lot of meetings and exchanges. One of the exchanges that I was able to participate in was with the assistants. We had a great time and I came away from it with lots of ideas for Light the World. One of the messages we shared was with one of the ward missionaries. We shared a video that the mission department came out with about Light the World. We were discussing it afterwards and it was so amazing to see the fire that came into their eyes as we discussed ways to help serve those in need. It was as James puts it "true religion and undefined before God". What a great time to be a missionary.
Where I am at: it was a lot of meetings this week but thankfully we are in the clear for a little while. We are all getting very excited for the Light the World campaign. We have been brainstorming ideas of how to spread it out here on the Rez. It should be a super fun adventure! For Thanksgiving we are planning on going on a hike and then eating a ton of food and then staggering home to play Monopoly. It should be good!
