Hello everyone!!

I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you all were able to eat a lot of food! So first off I did not explain my last weeks subject! It was, "The Book of Mormon is an extra dose of the Holy Ghost". On of the investigators that we are able to teach said that a few weeks ago and it is so true so I want to share that with you so it would make since!

My companion and I were able to go teaching with our Ward Mission Leaders this week and they are both amazing! It is so cool to see how their strengths are so different but they both teach with us so well! One of our Ward Mission Leaders is so knowledgeable about the Book of Mormon and it was perfect for who we were teaching that day. Our other Ward Mission Leader is able to talk to everyone and make them feel more comfortable! I hope that I can be more like them as a missionary!

We were teaching this family this week about the Plan of Salvation (God's plan for us) and we taught them that when we die we go to the spirit world. The mom then asked, "so everyone who died is there right now?" And we told her yes. And she said, "Oh, I want to die then! That sounds bad but That's where my family is at!" It was so funny but also awesome to see her love for her family. (Her mom and grandma are passed away)

This week we were able to participate in a parade! The family we are able to live with helped us out so much! We made a #LightTheWorld float and I think it was a success! We had the video playing on a projector with speakers, we had Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus and then we had others who were willing to just participate on the float as well! We were then able to pass out pass-along cards to people who were watching! It was awesome!

For those of you who do not know, #LightTheWorld is an amazing Christmas initiative to help us be more like Jesus Christ. It gives us suggestions on how we can serve someone everyday for 25 days leading up to Christmas! If you are interested go to mormon.org to get started! here

One really cool miracle we had this week was just from one simple text. When Sister Gaston and her old companion were here they got a call from a man who was getting ready to move to Salmon and wanted to know more about the church. Well Sister Gaston a few weeks ago had his name pop into her head so we gave him a call. He was pretty hesitant and said that he was not ready yet. Sister Gaston a few days later sent him the Moroni's promise and then on Thanksgiving day he texted us and said that he thinks he has received an answer! We hope to see him and his family this week!

I love this time of year so much! It is an amazing time to think about our Savior, Jesus Christ and reflect on what he would have us do while we are here on earth! I hope that we will all take the chance to do as the Savior would during this season #LightTheWorld! I love you all so much and hope that you all will have an amazing week!

Love,

Sister Lacey
