This week has been pretty good besides the fact that we didn't have any investigatigators at church, but it was good. Hermano Santana went to church. He is a stud. I love that guy so much. He was telling us how he wants only the best for his family, especially for his son Junior, who is also less active. We told him that he wanted to come back to church and wanted him to be blessed. I felt so happy. He is incredible. 

I ordered this picture of the Temple in Santo Domingo. I'm going to try and frame it and give it to them for Christmas cuz I would love to see them get sealed as a family and go to the temple, so they can really enjoy all the blessings the Lord has waiting for them. We have this one investigator, a security guard, who said that after we had an appointment with him, all of his problems were sold and that he really believes that he needs to follow this path in his life. He told us Adios Jahova Witnesses, Adios Catolicos, Adios whatever religion isn't the Mormons. Because I AM GOING WITH THE MORMONS, haha (adios means Bye) haha, but it was cool and awesome. I hope he is willing to change and to start going to church every week, he has only gone once, but we will see this week how it goes...
But as for Thanksgiving, it was awesome. We took our PDAY today on Thanksgiving so that our whole zone (28missionaries) could do a big feast and cook. It was excellent; all the sister missionaries cooked well; a few of us helped, but they did about everything, and it was as if I was in my backyard with all of my family, but mom cooked a lot better. The only thing that we didn't have was pies and yams, but it was actually delicious and can't wait to eat some more of it cuz there were a lot of leftovers, and since we live the closest to the chapel, we got to bring all of the food to our house haha.
