i can never remember what i told you last week so i always feel like i'm repeating myself. especially this week because its wednesday not monday.

big things thats happened last week:

thanksgiving: no one got hurt at turkey bowl. except for our pride. we lost all four of our games. this experience sums up our day: i threw the ball to one of my teammates, it bounced off his head, the other team caught it and ran it back for a touchdown. haha, oh well. we had fun! and we had plenty of food to make us feel better.

another member of our zone went home :( he had diabetes and it was getting uncontrollable, so he had to go home. so for the next two weeks i'll be in a trio.

in the Samoan ward, this young girl has been coming to church for awhile but we haven't been able to teach her yet because her grandma wont let us. Well, her grandma finally gave the go ahead! so we'll be able to start teaching her soon!!! we're pretty psyched about it.

other than that, not much is going on. all our wards (4 of them now) have christmas parties coming up. usually the christmas season makes it pretty hard for us to actually sit down and teach people, but im hoping it will be a good time to find people that may be interested come the new year.

this is something i've been thinking about this week:
"a tree falls the way it leans"

lets make sure we're all leaning towards a nice place to fall.

love you all!
