Friday, November 29, 2013 - Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Family!
The day after is close enough right?
It was a good day yesterday but I'll get to that at the end.
So last Sunday the Branch President called me into talk to me. Totally thought it was a getting to know you type interview. Totally wrong. Guess whose the new Sister Training leader?? Yours truly. Hasn't been that weird yet but we have 38 new missionaries coming in on Wednesday and I am going to have to bear my testimony to them in Korean. I should probably start memorizing that soon. My Sundays will be super packed but I've heard they're way fun so everything will be good. Now just the little free time I have will be gone but it will be fun :) Elder Peterson (the guy that was supposed to go in on October 2nd as well) is the new zone leader so we call ourselves the celestial district because we have so many people in leadership in our district. Were just that spiritual.

Oh and last Friday we found out who our second teacher was going to be. He was our investigator the first week. He told us that he was moving back to Korea the last investigator meeting we had with him then he showed up in our classroom and critiqued our teaching style. Why did I never hear that this is normal?? Apparently I was the only one not in the loop because I was surprised when he came into our classroom. Anyways, its fun he's a good teacher. The last picture that I attached is a picture of how he writes on the board. He doesn't know how to write English really well and he gets lazy so he just stops writing and does dots and lines. We all make fun of him. But he's a good teacher.

Okay now for thanksgiving: it was so good! They really do do a good job at trying to make everyone not home sick while they're here for the holidays. Russell M. Nelson came to talk to us. He talked about magnifying your calling and how important it is to become friends with the ward mission leader. And from now until the end of the year I guess general authorities are coming all the time. There's speculation that Monson is coming on Tuesday so I'll keep you updated.

Anyways so after the talk we had two hours to eat lunch. That much time to eat is like unheard of. You never realized how much free time you had before until all your free time is gone. Thanksgiving lunch was actually surprisingly good. The yams were disappointing but that's just because they weren't moms. But the turkey, stuffing, and potatoes were way good. The green beans were nasty though...you can't win on everything!

Then we did a service project where we packaged dinners for little kids who are from less fortunate families. My job was to seal the bags we all had a competition on what table could get the most bags done. We won. We packaged 5 boxes and each box had about 100 packages of food in it. Then we went to a little thanksgiving program about the first thanksgiving and at night we watched Ephram's Rescue. It was kinda a cheesy movie but really good. It had the same story as 17 miracles though so if you want to watch it that's my warning. The cards you gave me, mom went to good use! We made one for each of the Elders and all of our teachers. They loved them.
That's really all that happened this week. Aside from hours of studying the scriptures and Korean but that's just normal now.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and you are enjoying the temple today! The Provo Temple is closed until the end of the year because of cleaning which is depressing but at least we got to go twice before it closed!
