Thanksgiving!

Oh my goodness that looks sooooo goooood! (picture we sent him with lobster and crab) 

 Im so happy for you guys and everything that is going well!  To bad about Jaden’s arm and Ian’s rib but Elle is fine so she must be the toughest sibling, haha.  I forgot my ponderize scripture last week it was Proverbs 17:17 and it works with brothers and sisters.  This scripture really made me appreciate not only my friends but, especially my brothers and sister. My ponderize scripture for this week is Ether 12:27- this is a long one so it won’t be easy to memorize like the last one.   But I’m exited about it - its a good one and I have already seen this happening on my mission and I still have 90% of it to go. 

   So, this week here in Dilkon Arizona we talked to a few people under the influence it was sad and also funny at time.   For example we listened to amazing grace for a half hour on max volume with one guy.   Luckily, on the 27th of December we will be starting an addiction recovery class. Someone from the stake is running it.  It will help a lot of people so we are trying to get as many people to go as possible.  We already have at least 5 that will go. The people here are so awesome we have like 9 invites to Thanksgiving.   I personally want to hit them all with some to go boxes but we will see…..   

It’s frustrating to see the devils hand in some of these peoples life and how much he has done to them. On the other hand we also see the Lords omnipotent hand in preparing the people to be ready to hear the gospel  & make changes for good.  It reminds me much of the story with Alma and the poor Zorimites who had been humbled and thus prepared to hear the gospel and make a change.

 I love the Book of Mormon so much. 

Anyway, love you all and can’t wait to hear your ponderize scriptures from the last 3 weeks.

 love ya
