Well
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun! We started off the day by playing
football with the members of the ward, It was a lot of fun. There were
so many people there that we had two full games of 11 on 11. We were
there for most the morning, and then at 2:00 we had our dinner, Only one
this year ;) We had dinner with the Richins Family. It was a lot of
fun, we got to play games with the kids, and Sister Richins made very
good food. I enjoyed it quite a bit! Then in the evening we had a zone
activity at the church, and we played indoor soccer. It was pretty cool.
Then
there's Friday, Hopefully everybody avoided the long lines at stores,
Friday I was on exchanges with Elder Reyes. It was really good, but
unfortunately a big chunk of the exchange was spent at a meeting
discussing the Church's new Christmas Initiative, and how we should be
applying it in our missionary efforts, and helping the Ward missionary
efforts. It is titled "He is the Gift" and it is much like the Because
of Him initiative at Easter. The church Has Put out a similar video
about the First gift of Christmas, and we are all encouraged to share
the video. This can be done in many ways, Through Social Media, and the
other very big way is through special pass along cards. Every copy of
the December Ensign has 9 of these cards. It refers them to the church's
Christmas website. I encourage all of you to share this video and to
Discover the Gift, Embrace the Gift, and Share the Gift.
Also, I wanted to follow up and remind everyone of my Book of Mormon Challenge, Keep reading,
I love y'all
