Thanksgiving post

Whoa,  so it sounds like everyone's holidays went good!

 Here is my thanksgiving morning we butchered a sheep for a family that needed food!  That was really cool  & I wasn't grossed out at all,  it didn't even smell!

 We didn't get to eat any yet because we had a meeting at 10 am to learn about the "a savior is born video", which I am very exited for. 

There are three white people in the village us and this person!  

For Thanksgiving dinner we went to our branch presidents house, except it was actually at the church because they have 30+  grandkids. It was chaos but I loved it!  It was so fun and we met some awesome people.   One of the nephews served in our Arlington Church on his mission right after dad got released as bishop so that was cool to see him.   I thought I recognized him ha!   We also attended a late thanksgiving at a less active members home on Saturday it was good.   I ate half a blackberry pie.  I kind of miss blackberry's but I got my fill for now. 

Earlier in the week we moved a mans dead dog for him. It was almost a month old. That was the single worst smell I have ever smelt in my life!   After doing that we went to teach him.  Unfortunately he was drunk.   I will just say that alcohol in any form, once ingested puts you directly into satans hands.   The holy spirit was so far gone and we wanted to leave so badly but we couldn't just leave.   We had to put it very softly or else we would have probably got in a fight.  But it worked out and we are giving him time to cool off. So that was quite an experience but we learned from it. It is very interesting as I study the book of Mormon.  I see so many correlations with the Lamenites and I then experience many of them for myself. Because of this I have a rare opportunity to see the book of Mormon in a way I have never imagined it. 

Moving off of that subject though I am so excited to start teaching people about the saviors birth and why it applies to them,as well as all living, future, and deceased people. We have been studying his life a lot lately.  I got a hold of the latest bible videos and I am watching those in my spare time. They are so good and its great to watch what I have just read it takes on a much deeper and real feel. 

Lastly I would like too share a funny coincidence.   There is a lady who's last name is Roskelley in the next town over who has been getting all of my packages. Luckily, its all figured out now and I have received all the packages. 

Thank you every one for the love and prayers you send my way I feel them and am very great full for such family and friends as you. Also, my ponderize scripture is Isaiah 41:10 its a good one and I hope you all will remember you are never alone. 

Thank You.

Love, Elder Roskelley
