Happy Thanksgiving!!

Oh how I love life!!! I love being a missionary :) It is seriously the best! Everyday we get to go out and tell people that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been RESTORED!! How great is my calling!?! Everyday I am absolutely astounded by how beautiful this earth is. Every night sister Jones and I look up at the skies, at the countless stars and say, there is without a doubt a God and He is SO good to us. Mosiah 4:9,"Believe in God, believe that He is, and that he created all things, both in the heaven and in the earth. Believe that he has all wisdom and all power, both in the heaven and in the earth. Believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend."Oh I believe!

Sister Jones and I spend a lot of time in the car, so we try to be as productive as we can. We have been memorizing scriptures in both Spanish and English. And that scripture is one of them. I love the scriptures so much! The Book of Mormon is true! It is the convincing evidence that Jesus is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. If you haven't read it, read it and pray to know if it is not true, and I know you will receive the answer that it IS! It will change your life, I know this because it changed mine!

This week we taught a 17 year old boy, Christen and his father Jose from the Book of Mormon and it was so powerful. They want to know more and Christen, said that he will be baptized when he receives the answer that the book of Mormon is true. Right now we are just finding tons of people and opening their hearts, I know that we will be baptizing soon! The people are ready, we just need to show teach them and build their faith and show them how much they need the gospel.

Tomorrow we are holding the annual Borrego Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at our church!! All of the churches in town are going to be coming to our little chapel and all of the churches get to share thoughts about Thanksgiving, sister Jones and I are going to be singing and there is going to be TONS of people there! We feel so blessed that it is happening at our church! We know that this is going to be a great finding experience and that people will feel the spirit in our chapel :)

We find most of the people we are teaching by just opening our mouth and talking to EVERYONE! We have seen miracles by doing this. On Sunday we met this really sweet woman and talked to her for a bit and are going to come over and teach her later on this week, and then yesterday we met her sister on the other side of town!! Coincidence?? I think not!!

I love this work! In Spanish it is called obra, which means masterpiece. I love that. This is my masterpiece :) I love you all and hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
