Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!
This
is just an awesome time of year and I'm loving it here in Nampa! So far
we've got at least 5 meals lined up for Thanksgiving Day, and we very
well might get a few more. So I'm preparing my stomach, exercising my
jaw, etc. for the big day!
It's
been such an awesome week! With transfers going on this week, we had
enough errands to run that we barely had time to do normal proselyting.
But we saw miracle after miracle in which God made sure that the little
amount of time we had became super productive! Here's a quick story: We
were driving at about 8 at night, and we saw a family doing some yard
work in the dark. I had talked to them in the past, and they weren't
interested in talking to us, so I silenced any promptings to stop and
ask if we could help. Luckily my companion is awesome, so he spoke up
and we ended up pulling over to help. And they were super friendly!!! We
helped out for about half an hour, and we now have another appointment
to go over this week! It's such a blessing that God gives me companions
that can make up for my shortcomings and mkae sure the work gets done
right!
Well I'm short on time, but I'd invite
you all to think about what you're grateful. Easy request, I know. But
once you've figured out what you're grateful for, then figure out what
you're going to do to SHOW what you're grateful for. Does God know
you're grateful for those things? Do the people around you know that
you're grateful for them? Thanksgiving has two parts - thanks and
GIVING.
Love ya,
Elder Doyle
