Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hey family!
So much to say so little time!

First off, you are all wondering about me and transfers. But the truth is, I am not surprised. On Wednesday, Sis. Rager was having a bad day and called Mission Pres for an interview. So we went over there a few hours before and everything went smoothly and well. They were out in like 10 min. In the mean time, I was talking with Sis. Miller and I just couldn't help it, I started to cry. So then President asked to interview me...  and in the interview he told me that Sis. Rager and I would not be companions this coming transfer. I have huge mixed feelings about this. A part of me hopes that Its not just because of me and that this is how it is suppose to be for both her and these areas and people. And I try to not let doubts linger. But I do have trust that Pres. Miller asks the Lord about where each of us go and that God won't let him screw up His work. These have been hard transfers, but I have loved them nevertheless, and honestly, the knee issues were not an issue in my mind at all. I love her and She needed to be here for herself and for me and for this area. She has been a strength and I am thankful for her as well as I have learned a lot. I can see how change needed to happen, because we have no one to visit and had no other ways to find new investigators and so forth. I pray for her and I pray for my next companion.

No, I do not know if I will have to get a bike, which, please look at my bank account and make sure that is okay. But it probably will be my last area, seeing my track record, we will see. I would be happy with that. I think either way right now I would be happy.

Ok, so internet, Talked with Bro. Horschel (WML) and he said we could email at his house. he says its Comcast, said something about he has about 50mpg downloading speed but it is consistently at 70pmg...? didn't understand but he said it was good and ask if we wanted Skype or some odd strange new thing called Google hang out??? yeah. Oh, and I will be having one of my thanksgivings at the first phone calls house!

So today was sooo much fun! Last night the ZLs texted and said because of transfers pday would be on Monday(of course messing us all up!) so we went to the tram! It was sooooo beautiful! The top of the Sandias is covered in snow!!!! you remember the winter wonderland trees with snow packed on them! So amazing! We wore Santa hats and hope to get Christmas cards out of them. So much fun! We walked around the closed ski lift with a few skiers and just had a fun time. snowball fights! angles! it was sooo gorgeous and white! We even saw our area! thanks to a very large casino we cover. haha. It was a huge answer to our prayers in so many ways! 1. to come at all! 2, Sis. Ragers snow 3. to find our area even though a fog blocked our way 4 that the sky would clear and in the few hours before, it did! 5 no storm!  and just more. it was a huge blessing!

So Amberly, what is this with sending Sis. Rager a 3 page letter (which she did open) and not me!!!! huh????? haha, we both loved the construction paper letter! It was way cute! And Sis. Rager will write you. She has seen Merlin 5 and supposedly is excited to write you although I refused to read your spoilers :)

Hmm thanksgiving plans, So far we have 2 dinners we are for sure going to and we really hope to find more members to stop by and see but besides that, I'm not really sure. The members said we could request anything, but when I asked for pumpkin pie they said that was the one thing their family does not do.  :( but that's okay. others will of course have it!

Haha, so y'all saw our pics up on the NMAM Facebook page? that is cool. And yeah, Sis. Dennis doesn't think we get enough mail from our ENTIRE family so she wanted to send out a loud message :) I love her! she is soo funny!

This last Saturday was a lot of fun, as we were invited to go to 2 thanksgiving parties at the Beehive house(the assisted living home and it was sooo much fun! When we were invited, the staff told us that we were a part of these peoples lives and they love to have you there and to introduce you to there family and friends, who they tell about you to. And you know what, its true and we were so thankful for that opportunity to really see that. They were so funny and just happy to see us! Including the staff. Its funny to feel at home there. I really do love it a lot. 

Okay, so the member squealed and told you I was trunkie. Shameful. haha, so as I told Sis. Rager last night, I'm really trunkie to like see my family, get to watch movies, and sing whatever songs I want, but I'm not homesick. I'm not longing for these things so bad that I can't function or push these thoughts away. I am happy here and if I could come up with some way to extend my mission, with getting to talk and see y'all all the time, i'd be perfectly good. Nah, i'm not trunkie. In fact, I don't even want to think about the Christmas call home cause that may make me homesick. But I am happy and content here, and as President promised me this week, I will find even more contentment with where my mission is by the end of next transfer.

i love you!!!!! i love you happy thanksgiving!
