Transfer Time!

Okey dokey then. Sorry I forgot to mention last week that this week's email would be late due to transfers. The news of transfers was very surprising to a lot of us. E. Winslow and myself are staying together again. We both thought for sure that he would be leaving and I would be training a new Elder from Cambodia. I guess something came up that we don't know about. We've known for about 3 months that there would be a new Elder from Cambodia coming, and we assumed that I would be training him cause all the other Cambodian Elder's have trained already. But, I guess assumptions aren't the way to go. haha. But yeah, this will be 5 transfers with E. Winslow. Crazy stuff.

Well, this week was not as eventful as the last one was, but it was still a good one. Peter and Jose are doing great. They are both very excited to be baptized and are both still shooting for December 12th as the date. I'm so excited to see both of them get baptized. It's going to be awesome. Our ward has done an amazing job at fellowshipping them too. I don't know why it is, but our ward is super great at that, and I love it! Peter has been involved with the YM a lot already, and both he and Jose have been invited to dinners with families in the ward. Peter was at our ward Turkey Bowl too and had a lot of fun. (I was the QB for my team, and I tore it up! 7 TD's and 2 ints. Pretty good game. haha) We are done with the first 3 lessons and have some of the commandments left to teach them. It's really cool to see how well both of them are progressing.

Thanksgiving was awesome too. We had our Turkey Bowl at 8:00 am, so it was FREEZING, but it was so much fun. Peter came out and played with us along with about 30 other people, lots of whom I don't know, but are friends of ward members. It was a blast. We had 2 eating appointments, and luckily they were 4 1/2 hours apart, so it wasn't too bad. The first one was actually with Jose and his mom and sister, who are in the ward. He is Liz' brother (the one you asked about on FB, Mom) Dinner there was great. There was lots of food, and we had a great time, plus it was an unplanned lesson to Jose, so it was great. Our other dinner was with the family we live above, and the other family we live behind. It was great too. They are Guatemalan, so the food was a bit on the spanish side, but it was SO good. The stuffing in the turkey had like cornbread, and TONS of bacon, and all sorts of amazing-ness. I enjoyed that thoroughly. And they had some good old pumpkin pie too. mmmmmmmm. It was a good day.

By the way Mom, I talked to Danielle about you talking to her on FB. She said she thinks you are funny like me. haha. That's about all she said, except for "I can't remember" haha. Also, thanks very much for the package, Grandma & Grandpa Spencer! It was so great to open that up and see all that jerky and pinenuts. Thanks a lot!

I think I'm out of stuff to say now. I look forward to getting letters from lots of people for Christmas..... Oh yeah, and I was pretty bummed when I heard the BYU score. ugh. oh well. Alright. We're going to hang out in Boston today, so that'll be cool. I'm excited. Hope you all have a great week! Love you all!!

Love,
