The one where I ate duck

 I am so sorry that my email last week was lame. I will do better this week. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I was fed by one of our members and I ate my weight in food. They also roasted a duck and I tried duck for the first time. It was really good! The family we ate with reminded me of my family back home and it was really fun! It was like getting a piece of home for the holidays while I'm here in Kansas.

This week I hit my 3 month mark. Which really weird because I feel like I just got here and now transfers are next week. We find out a week from today who is staying and who is going. Crazy! Time does not exist here. My sister Sam told me that time doesn't exist. And now I believe her. 

We were able to find a few people of Facebook to teach this week. We found a guy from Great Bend that we have to pass off to the Elders in Great Bend. The guy that we passed off is now on date for baptism!! And then we have a few people who we have send videos and waiting for then to respond to us. We found a few new people to teach this week. 

I was able to go on exchanges again on Saturday. I was with Sister Peterson. She was originally assigned to go to the Philippines. She speaks Cebuano. She is an amazing missionary and I love her so much!! I was able to learn so much from her. 

There is a scripture in 1 Nephi chapter 6. There is a scripture that talks about why Nephi is writing what he is writing. Verse 4 says:

4 For the fulness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved. 

This is also the purpose of the Book of Mormon. Preach my gospel says that the Book of Mormon along with the Spirit, are the most essential things of the conversion of our friends. Nephi states his purpose of his account, but truly it's the Book of Mormon as a whole. 

I love all of you so much!! I hope you have a fantastic week.
