the big event this past week was the mission tour. Elder Echo Hawk came and taught us. we told us his conversion story and about how his missionaries did and did not help him, the thing that stood out to me was, even 50 years later, he is super grateful to the missionaries that taught him the Gospel! that was pretty cool to see. hopefully i can help someone like that.

the east side elders baptized a family of 3 into the Samoan ward on saturday. the baptism was great!

im really looking forward to thanksgiving and then christmas! as soon as thanksgiving passes, we're gonna go caroling/tracting. it'll be great :) it is a little weird to carol in short sleeves though.

on thanksgiving we will play football in the morning and then hang out/eat/play games with some members. it will be awesome!

i'll have more updates/stories next week, this week was kinda slow though. oh yeah, next week i'll be emailing on wednesday cause its a temple week for us :)

srry this email is short.

love,

elder donovan

ps. 36 days till christmas!
