Hey everybody!
Another long and hard week, but it was hard in a
good way. I got my new companion and am back in my area which is great. We've
been doing a TON of finding.

| Eating at Olive Garden |
At the beginning of the week we decided to go out
to eat as a district (just the elders) because Elder Rascon was going home. He
wanted to have a fun last meal together and just so happened to have some gift cards
to Olive Garden.

| Elder Hernandez, my first companion |
Then at transfers, practically everyone was there. It was
a blast to get to see old companions and even say goodbye to some of the
missionaries going home. One of them is Elder Hernandez, who was my companion
all the way at the beginning of my mission.
We also took a Spanish program picture. This is most of
the Spanish missionaries in the mission.

So next up, my new companion is Elder Thompson. I was
super excited to see that in transfers because I've already served with him
once and I know we get along. Remember back to when I was with Elder Cottle in
Bella Vista and he had to go home early? Yeah, so I've technically already been
his companion before, but only for 2 weeks.
Our first day together went really good. After transfers we took his
stuff back to the apartment and then went out again. We had a good night where
we taught one of our progressing investigator families and then also found
another less active family. They hadn't been to church in a little over a year!
It's just too bad they live in the area that we are losing.

| Ward Thanksgiving Dinner - Traditional American Food! |
Our second day together was great and probably my
favorite day out of this whole week. That's because we had our Ward Thanksgiving
dinner on Friday. But the Ward changed things up a bit and decided to go
classic American Thanksgiving! No more chicken and rice! There was turkey, ham,
mashed potatoes, green beans, corn bread, pumpkin pie, you name it! It was
awesome and SOOO good. Like I never thought I would miss American food this
much! I was in heaven because I haven't eaten any of these things for almost 2
years! I was sitting with some investigators and they were making fun of me
because of how happy I was.
That was all the fun moments of the week. The reason it
was sorta difficult was because since transfers, me and Elder Thompson have
been doing none stop finding, which basically means knocking doors all day.
It's pretty draining and discouraging to be doing that all the time. At the
beginning of the week I was super excited to start working in my area again but
now I'm kinda ready for a break from finding. Thankfully we were able to find some cool
people and got some return appointments for this upcoming week! So it won't be
knocking doors 24/7 anymore.
Well, I believe that's it for this week. Hope you guys
have an amazing week!

P.S. It's starting to get really cold now. Winter is
coming!
