Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Y'all I realize that I didn't really explain all that much about Sarah, the girl I baptized last week. So I met her on Facebook, and normally we wait until people add us back to message them, but she saw that I was a missionary and messaged me first, at first I totally thought she was just gonna bash me. But turns out she was totally interested. She had taken a BOM from a Mariott a few months earlier and was skimming it. She had researched our faith on her own and knew a lot. We taught her the first three lessons over video chat and then reffered her to the downtown elders. Teaching her was awesome, she is great. So she asked me to baptize her and it was awesome. 10\10. If anyone wants any more details hmu.

Next story, I also said Elder Gay told the part 2 to the story about his sister from general conference, at our stake conference. So here is the second part to that story. (shoutout to Bro. Nance)
So after he gave her the blessing, and was rebuked by the spirit, he remembered an experience he and his sister had had when they were little with their grandma. He asked his sister if she had ever told her that story. (remember the sister is on her deathbed and all the kids are gathered around her.) So he told the story basically as follows. "Grandma came to us one day, i was 12 and my sister was 14, and pulled us into a private room and told us, "Last night the Savior came to me, he told me that i had accomplished everything i was sent here to do and that i was being called home, don't tell your parents, but I want you to know."(and then the grandma bore her testimony to them) Sure enough 3 days later our perfectly healthy grandma died from a massive heart attack. After i had told the story to the kids she (the sister) said, "Thats great Bob, but thats not the whole story." "what is the whole story?" i asked "3 days after grandma died she came to me, she told me that she loved me and that Christ loved me, she told me that i was going to have a hard life, and that there would be many challenges, but that i could get through them, that her and the Savior would be there with me and for me, every step of the way."" Elder Gay went on to relate that to his conference talk and seeing people the way God sees them, it was awesome.

Now for the week. We had Thanksgiving at 3 different places, I don't have any pictures from dinner so sorry about that, but it was a good day.
