Week 91

*Details about the Thanksgiving meal and what was eaten: a TON of turkey, pumpkin pie, stuffing, mashed potatoes, typical Thanksgiving stuff.

*Elder Christison's fireside last Saturday morning was "amazing"  "We learned so much about Joseph Smith and how much of a miracle the coming forth of the Book of Mormon was, I'll have to share some of it when I get back,  I wrote about it in my zone conference journal.'

*The theme of zone conference was The Holy Ghost and how we need to have him as our third companion at all times. "It was definitely the most spiritual zone conference and probably my favorite one." E. Heck and E. LaMay role played teaching the Restoration-- "It was so spiritual that almost everyone was crying." President and Sister Davis gave great insights, and the new zone leaders were able to teach for the first time! They talked about recognizing weaknesses through the Spirit and improving them. "E. Grover and I got everyone excited for the harvest day that happened the next day, by introducing new ways to go finding. We also talked about how we can improve our language skills, since most of the mission is really young."

*The recent challenge: To keep a MEANINGFUL prayer in our heart--"I always do have one, but I'm gonna have to try harder this next week because it wasn't as meaningful as it could have been."

*President Cakir's son got back from his mission this week (from Germany)! He gave his homecoming talk on Sunday. "I did an exchange with him in Germany, not sure if you remember that, but it was awesome to see him."

*New challenge: to write down a question before we start reading The Book of Mormon and to see if it can give us the answer.

*Personal study is in Helaman

*LOVE YOU
