Bounteous blessing!

This week was AWESOME!!!! We had such a great week full of food and miracles! Thursday morning we played in the ward Turkey Bowl! I have been looking forward to the Turkey Bowl ever since I got here because we have an athletic ward. And it lived up to the hype! We had 2 games going on at once and it was the greatest! It was freezing cold but I still had the time of my life! We had a couple investigators show up as well and that was solid. Then after the football game we visited a couple members and they all fed us! I had so much turkey it was crazy! We had a lesson with George and his family at night and they fed us a whole Thanksgiving meal as well, it was so much food my comp couldn't hold it down at night and threw up back at the apartment hahaha, it was pretty funny. It was a great time to reflect on the bounteous blessings the Lord has provided in my life. I think about the simple things that bring true happiness. That is my family, the scriptures, prayer, church, and the relationships I have developed while serving out here in Kentucky. I am truly grateful for all these things, they have brought me peace and joy in life. So We are teaching a guy named KC that we were able to find through a recent convert. He is the coolest, I love him to death, he has had a rough life and has been down the wrong path but he is doing everything he can do to get back on the right path where God wants him to be. He came to church and liked it, he is meeting with us and he is keeping his commitments. I am super excited for him. We are still working with Malik... he is doing good, we are actually going to start teaching his mother soon, we are excited for that, we are getting the whole family involved! We are teaching George and his family. They are doing great! They told us that they will be reading in the Book of Mormon every night before they go to bed. That is one of the first thing they mentioned to Elder Mower and I before we got started with a lesson. So we are excited for them and their progression! So yes, life is good here in the Promised Land, our apartment is all decorated for Christmas, we got a tree, stockings, and even a candle that smells like the Christmas season! We are super excited. Yall should check out He is the Gift on Christmas.mormon.org. it is a super short clip but it really brings the spirit in our lives and reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas! I am excited for this coming week! Thanks for all your prayers and all your support!!!
