Happy Thanksgiving!

11-25-13

I'm sorry I haven't sent or written anything.  Our email time was cut short again and I've been so busy throughout the week.  We had 3 exchanges this week where we basically swap companions for the day so that the Zone Leaders can review our progress and how we work.  So, I took the lead for those days and I've been either working, eating, or sleeping.  I got your letter last week and I will try to write one and send it this week answering your questions.  I don't know how much longer I'll be with elder Lott.  The transfer ends on the 10th, so I will know on the 8th.  I'm guessing he will leave and I will take over the area.  I just hope I don't have to be District Leader.  I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and I will send a letter with events over the week.  We have a few people that have invited us to come over for Thanksgiving so that will be good, but I have a thankful tree with a lot of things on it, so I will take a picture of that and send it to you guys sometime.  I thought of another thing you could send.  It's called Doctrine and Covenants Church History DVDs and it's just a pack of DVDs with a bunch of church videos and teaching tools.  I think you might be able to get it at Deseret Book or wherever you get garments at.  If not there, you might be able to get it online or something.  In Dad's last letter, he said he was jealous of our weather here.  I wouldn't be that jealous.  It's still somehow hot here and it's messing with me.  It still feels like it's Summer here, but it's almost Thanksgiving.  It just doesn't feel like Winter at all.  It's still hot when we ride our bikes.  I need to work on being healthier.  I haven't gained any weight, but I have been eating nothing but junk food pretty much since I've been out here.  I just see something I want at the store and I buy it.  I think all of the energy I have is from sugar and I eat enough of it to keep me on a sugar high all of the time.  I honestly don't know how I'm still functioning.  I am going to try and just buy healthy foods like chicken, fish, and veggies.  I hope things are going well at home and that there aren't any problems.  Let me know.  Love you.
