Week 45: Much to Be Thankful For

Hey Everybody!

This week has been great! We had tons of lessons and things are going wonderfully! Plus the Holidays are coming up! It's crazy to think that I’ve almost been out a year! It seems to have flown by! Although my mom would tell you otherwise. ;)
Last night we taught Gary and Krystie about some of the commandments. They are so sincere and really want to follow Jesus Christ. They are really prepared for their baptism! Gary is giving up tobacco and Krystie said as long as she can drink Pepsi she can give up anything! Haha We had their lesson over at the Inskeep Family's home. The Inskeeps are an awesome family!! They are all natural missionaries! We love the Inskeeps!
We also had an appointment with a man named Wes. Wes is going through some hard times in his life and he has recently been meeting with us. Last night we talked about how the Church was established and about Prophets. He really wants to have peace in his life. Last night we invited him to be baptized and he said yes. We are planning his baptism on January 4th.
We are meeting with Ashten and his family tonight. He really wants to be baptized and we hope that his family will support him. He is such a nice kid!
With Thanksgiving coming up we are slowing down on our appointments just because a lot of people are going out of town. We have quite a few appointments with members though for the Holidays! There is this one family, the Turpins. Brother Turpin makes homemade Cheese Cake every Saturday. No joke this stuff is Cheese Cake Factory quality! And because he is healthy he only eats a slice then invites the missionaries over to devour the rest! :)
Oh in other news! Our area now has a car! :) We cover a few wards that go all the way out to the reservation. So we were given a car to get out there. This car is DEFINATELY a blessing because my body has not reacted well with the cold weather.
Christmas and New Years are drawing closer. I'm excited for my first Christmas in the Mission! :) Luckily it hasn't snowed too much yet. So it hasn't stuck. But it is bitter cold. Yesterday and Saturday in the mornings it was like 15 degrees outside. :( Not fun. But I can't complain. I'm doing what the Lord wants me to do!
I love you guys and hope all is going well. :)
Love
Elder Rash
