How was Thanksgiving? I'm still stuffed!!! We've had four Thanksgiving sized dinners in row!
This week was the last week of the transfer and it was a great one. There were a bunch of fun things that happened this week!
For Thanksgiving our ward mission leader had us over for dinner and fed us tonnns of food! It was some good grub for sure. Plus they gave us lots of leftovers which made lunch on Friday like round two of Thanksgiving Then Friday night Elder Burns' aunt and uncle were in LA on vacation so they got permission from president Haynie to take us out to dinner. They took us to an awesome restaurant in Koreatown and stuffed us again! On Saturday the V__ family had us over for dinner and they had lots of Thanksgiving leftovers so we had Thanksgiving all over again! It was soooo great! Yesterday E__, a priest from the Wilshire ward, had his farewell and after church they had a huge dinner for everyone that came. The theme of the meal was Thanksgiving dinners from around the world so they had Mexican food, Armanian food, and Thai food! So I can definitely say that I've been fed very well this week!!
As far as the work goes it was a bit slower than normal. We actually lost a lot of investigators. One of our investigators we had a lesson planned for Friday and when we went to his house there was a crew of people there and they told us he got arrested and was in jail now... Eeeek.
Yesterday we got our transfer calls and I'm staying in Wilshire! Elder Burns got called to be a district leader down in Carson so he is packing up and moving out. My new companion is Elder Patrick who was actually Elder Burns MTC companion way back when so thats pretty cool! I'm excited and definitely pumped to build the teaching pool back up!
Have a great week!
