Ivonne got baptized Saturday! And she was confirmed yesterday. I got the opportunity to confirm her a member of the church, in Spanish. It was pretty nerve wrecking... first time haha. But it was a cool experience. I also spoke at the baptism. In Spanish, which was funny because when I got up to talk I looked out and I was like,"well everyone here speaks English and my talk is in Spanish oh well" haha. Our branch combines young women and young men primary, etc with the English ward so there was a lot of English members there haha. And a lot of people from the branch speak English really well haha. We don't have anyone else really solid to teach right now. We have one family that has potential but only have met them twice, taught the dad once. We will see how it goes.
Thanksgiving was great! Spent it at the Keffers. We had all the goodies just like home! Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, sweet potato casserole, etc. it was good. There was about 30 people there because it was Graciela's side of the family and Brother Keffers side. Plus Francisco, Arely, Ivonne,etc. Oh btw, Ivonne, Francisco and Arely are Graciela's nephew and nieces they live with the Keffers. Elder Johnson made a pumpkin pie and we sat down and ate it all with Francisco and Ivonne haha. Kept it to ourselves haha. I had like 7 pieces of pie within 13 hours of Thanksgiving and the next day haha. Love pumpkin pie. Did dad make his pie? I missed his pumpkin pie this year. Nothing beats it.
I already miss snow haha. After being here, only for a little bit, I already realized how much I like Utah and miss it haha. Utah is the best.
This week was really fun. Me and Elder Johnson got along the moment we got together. He is such a goof! He is from Idaho and loves fishing, hunting, and all sorts of that stuff. He's funny! We snagged a nice rocking chair, leather and everything for our apartment yesterday! We were biking around and saw it on the side of the road, so we asked the guy that lived there if we could take it and he said of course! We ended up teaching him too haha. Hopefully he gets an answer that what we shared was true and calls us back haha. We put the chair in the apartment it fits nicely. Nice and comfy. Our mission apartment is getting better! We were biking around one time and Johnson stopped and said,"woahhh look at that sweet jump." We found a jump off a sidewalk and he went off it and landed on a sharp part and his tired popped. It was funny.
It kind of stinks that I will be killing Johnson too. Two in a row. It's a little hard because they get trunks and then I start missing home.. but oh well I'll be okay. Miss my siblings, and parents , so much! Realized how much I'm close with them! Haha
That's all this week! Love you mom!
