Dear Family and Friends,
I hope yall had an amazing Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for my
family and friends and for all of you who support me. I love getting letters
and packages from my loved ones. Yall keep me going. I am so excited for this
christmas season. So many great things are going to be happening this next
month.
Well this week has been kinda relaxed. On Monday I had zone
conference so that was a lot of fun. Elder Burningham and I trained all the
missionaries on being christlike missionaries. It was a sweet training. The
spirit was so strong and some missionaries started crying. It was just really
amazing to feel the savior's love for us in that meeting. One of my favorite
trainings thus far. After a long zone conference we had to clean up and lock
up. Then we had to drive to foley to deliver a shelf for some Elders.
Tuesday was our P-day. Than on Wednesday we had nothing really
going on other than just doing the Lord's work. We had dinner at the Langis aka
pre thanksgiving dinner. We ate so much haha. Than on Thursday we played in the
turkey bowl all morning and won. My legs have been killing me for the past
couple days. Then we went over to Brother Atwood's for thanksgiving and that
was really good! Fried Turkey, Smoked turkey, grilled turkey and more
haha. Our investigator veronica was supposed to come but she sadly got sick. We
later contacted some referrals and tried to deliver some food to veronica.
Saturday was a great day just because my Recent Convert from my
last area came and visited me. But get this Elder Burningham and I served
around each other in Pensacola. His recent convert just recently moved in with
my recent convert. Haha So they both came and saw us! It's crazy, they are like
best friends now haha. One of my Highlights of this week haha. Other than
Alabama playing Auburn… No one here is happy haha. Our church attendance was
super low on sunday! Hahah Probably because of thanksgiving but I don't know
all the Alabama fans weren't there. ;) But saturday we hung out with the bishop
for a little. He was letting us download stuff for light the world.
So for the past few days we have been giving Priesthood Blessings like crazy. We gave one to a lady because she was about to have her baby then we gave one to her and her baby after he was born. Then we gave a blessing to a kid on sunday because he cut his finger to the bone with a chainsaw. So we had to rush to the ER to give him a blessing. Cool part was he said after the blessing I don't feel pain anymore. After giving all these blessings we went and talked with our recent converts and just chatted with them for a little. Then I took Elder Burningham to City Hope church. That was a concert haha it was fun though. That was pretty much my week. Nothing too crazy.
Insight on this week. I'll be driving to tallahassee wednesday and coming home thursday. Then Friday i'll be moving from one apartment to the next. Friday and saturday we will be going to some parades. Then sunday we have our christmas party. So all of this week will be crazy busy, Because we also have to deep clean our apartment. Missionaries have been in here since like forever so trying to make sure they can get their deposit back.
This has been such a good week. The members have been so awesome. This is for sure one of my favorite wards! Thank you all for all that you do for me! I am so excited to skype home soon! It's crazy that this is my last thanksgiving and Christmas in the mission. I'll see all y'all next year haha. Time flies when you are having fun! But I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I can't wait to hear from yall!
Love Always,
Elder Graham
P.S.
I didnt mean to send that last one hahaha
