Thanksgiving should be great

Wow, it sounds like it's been a busy week in Oregon. I'm sure everyone's pretty ecstatic about the football business (we are :-)), that sounds pretty awesome. 

To answer your questions, to cope with the weather, we basically just wear a lot of clothing and try to stay warm. If there's too much snow/ice on the ground, we won't bike, and walk instead. Other than that, it's pretty much just normal work! Okay, so we have had quite a bit of snow, especially on Thursday of this week. Our area isn't that big, but it is split by a very busy road, so that does make things a little tricky.

For Thanksgiving week, most of it is normal. People are a little less available, but we try anyways. The actual day of Thanksgiving, we are encouraged to spend the day with members, and to try to share as many lessons with them that we can. It'll be pretty cool.
 
This week was a good week, although it was again a little bit slow. We had a couple of really cool experiences, though. 

We were finally able to visit a family that we've been trying to get in touch with for awhile, and shared a message with them. A really cool thing about that, also, was that they have an exchange student living with them, and she sat in on the lesson too! Hopefully we'll be able to visit the family and this girl more. The exchange student is from Holland, which is awesome, because that's where our Mission President served his mission! We actually texted him, and he said that he would love to come along to our next visit. We'll see how that goes.

We visited another family who attends church less frequently on Friday, and probably because it was unannounced, they had some friends over, who were really friendly. Because of that, we didn't really get to share much of a message, but we were able to introduce ourselves to the friends, and share a little bit about why we do what we do. 

And then the best thing: there's a person who we've been trying to get in touch with probably as long as I've been here. We'd called her a few times, and knocked on her door loads of times, but she hadn't responded. Then, on Thursday, she called us back, and we were able to set up an appointment! It was awesome--we should be seeing her this Tuesday.

So, that's about it for last week. Thanksgiving should be great, and I hope you guys all have a great time too.

Only one month until Christmas!

Love,
Peter
