Hey family,

sounds like you had a fun Thanksgiving heading up to Utah, or la fabrica, as the members say down here lol.

We had a good week down here for sure. I was about to say there was no thanksgiving turkey but I was wrong there was. We had a Zone Conference this last week and they made us turkey and mashed potatoes. That had to have been super expensive too. Cuz you can buy an amazing steak down here for a few pesos but the only place I ever saw turkey was when we went to Wal-Mart down here and it was SUPER EXPENSIVE! But anyway, that was a realy fun zone conference and a really tasty turkey.

But besides that this last week, we taught, gave a blessing in a hospital, and it rained a lot. It rained a little this last Friday, but on Saturday it started to pour! It started to flood a little bit. There were some streets where the water was up to your knees, but it only lasted a little while, then the rain stopped and everythings fine now.

We also had a super great lesson yesterday during the siesta. We taught a big family and we taught them at a members house. A tip that should be passed on to future missionaries is to Do a KNEELING prayer at the end of a lesson, and have the investigator do it. We had quite a few teary eyes at the end of that lesson, and I think we´ve got some more baptisms coming up soon.

Also in about 45 minutes from now we´re gonna be heading over to the church to have an activity. My comp and I and another companionship we live with planned an activity that we´re gonna be doing at the church. Pioneer night!! Haha. Actually the other companionship planned most of it but our branch is gonna combine with their ward for the activity. Hopefully it turns out well.

Alright I´ve got to go now. So have a great week everyone. And Calvin probably has finals coming up so good luck Calvin!! And have fun during the Christmas season everyone!! It´s the most wonderful time of the year! Woohoo!
Love you all,

Elder Boice
