Happy Thanksgiving

Buenas Tardes! Sorry this is a lot later than I usually write and also sorry becuase it is going to be pretty short! This week is different becuase of Thanksgiving. So I have less time to write today and then Thursday is my P day but I can't write then. Anyways, thanks so much for the treats! Haha I've been trying not to eat everything in there all at once! I really love the wassail in there though. yum!! :) We had a busy week! We were able to teach 13 lessons with members this week which is a record for me! One of the best things that happened was that P and S were able to get work off every Sunday and they came to church!!! First of all, when we commit people to getting work off it usually doesn't happen, at least not for a long time. We taught them about the 10 commandments and Sabbath day earlier this week and then they got it off within 2 days! We haven't had time to follow up on their church experience, but I think they liked it. D, P's 6 year old daughter loved Primary, even though she was scared to go at first! The only unfortunate thing was that all the talks were about family history, the temple, and tithing! All topics that we haven't even begun to talk about... so I just prayed the whole time that they could feel the Spirit and that they will have a good week and notice a difference! I love them so much and am so excited to see them making changes in their lives for the better! They really want to follow Jesus Christ and they have shown they are willing to act in order to do so. :) Another miracle was that O also was able to get work off! There was this big huge ordeal with his boss, but finally he got it so he never has to work Sundays! Unfortunately, his phone stopped working and he wasn't able to coordinate with us or a member who was going to give him a ride, so he didn't make it this Sunday. That was dissappointing but he should be able to come next week! Overall we are just teaching some really great people and my love for them is growing so much. Each week I recognize the Lord's hand in my life more and more and my faith is growing too. :) There are still so many ways I could be doing better; so many things I could improve, but I am learning to be patient with others and especially myself. I am so grateful for the Atonement and the opportunity it gives me to improve each day and try better. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know me personally and are helping me every day. Since I started my mission I have grown to appreciate more the knowledge I have of the Gospel. It is such a blessing to be serving as a missionary, and I learn to love it more and more each day. I love you all so much and am so grateful for the wondeful family and friends I have in my life! Thank you for everything and have a happy Thanksgiving!! :) Love, Hermana Pierce
