We visited the house of a potential for an appointment, only to find it burnt down. None of the neighbors knew where they went.
It snowed, and is thus cold, but it is even colder when it doesn't snow for some reason. Iowa...
Thanksgiving was amazing, but I seriously think I ate more than I ever have in one time. We had 2 thanksgiving appointments with members. One at 12 and the next at three. The food was great enough at the first one. It was with an old couple and all their old friends, and it was hilarious just cracking jokes with all these funny old people whose children and grandchildren couldn't come. I get along with them pretty well. But the next one took the cake, food wise. The member, Brother Gray, does nothing much more in his freetime than smoke meat, and then build his own smokers from scratch, sell them, and use it to buy more meat.
It was heaven. He smoked an entire turkey, inch thick slices of prime rib, and things called "fatties". Imagine a log of meet. The inside is stuffing, or cheese and eggs, or cheese and pepperoni, the next layer is sausage, and the next is a pound of weaved bacon on the outside, all smoked to perfection.
We had a really great lesson with Ernesto, and he is on track for being baptized on the 13th! I am so happy, he is so humble, and has changed his life around completely. He went from drinking two 32 packs in a weekend to nothing! I love this guy. We taught him the law of chastity, which most single guys might have something against, but he completely understood it, and told us "man, why didn't someone tell me the importance of that before!?"
Love you guys so much. Remember Jesus Christ this Christmas season! The church has a really cool website called https://www.mormon.org/christmas. All about chirstmas. You shoudl check out this video, it is my favorite one. https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-00-1460-he-is-the-gift?lang=eng
Love you all!
