Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was sure different here! We actually ate three different dinners with people and we sort of had a "day-off". We got to have fun and talk with lots of members of our ward and we got to eat pumpkin pie! It was so great!

We have had a lot go on this week and it seems like it is just the beginning. We have started teaching a guy named Alex. We have actually known him since we first got here, because he is the son of a less active family that feeds us every Wednesday. (funny story, I actually challenged him to be baptized on night randomly, he declined but I like to think that it finally got him thinking about it). The Elders had a heart to heart with him one night and since then he has not stopped reading the Book of Mormon. He is going to be baptized on the 14th of this month and it is SO exciting! He has asked Sister Davidson and I to do the musical number and also make yummy treats. He has also asked us to start teaching him along with the Elders. I don't know how much the Elders like that idea, but I love it and he will be "our" first baptism. He may not count with our numbers but he counts in our/his heart! To go along with this, Mom I need your recipe for your delicious chocolate chip cookies we are making them for his baptism.

Anyway, we also got to go to the Ocean this past P-day! We couldn't go on the beach, but we did go on a huge pier. It was beautiful! I love the feel of the ocean! We also got to go back to St. Augustine and visit the Lighthouse and it was huge. Next time we are going to go to the Alligator farm! 

So in the next few weeks we have the ward Christmas party, the mission Christmas party, lots of caroling, a baptism, a wedding, and CHRISTMAS! It is so exciting.
