HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Transfer week is super weird, but I
had a lot of fun! Sister Wong I have stayed together :) Only one companionship
in our district changed, Sister Word was replaced by Sister Brown! Exciting
times lay ahead haha. There are 5 new Sisters and a ton of new Elders this
transfer! I'm not the youngest anymore!!! Woot! One transfer down, 11 more to
go ;)
Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Sister
Wong and I are going to Sister Moorman's house for dinner, and we're looking at
the Visitors Center in the morning. I'll miss being with family for this
wonderful holiday, but at least I have my church family to be thankful
with :)
The work is progressing in White Oak
still. Lucy and Ismael are great, Nabil and John are great, Michael is also
great! Although, we did have to push back Michael's baptism date to December
15th. But it's for the best :) Just some kinks we need to work out (like not
eating yogurt before church on Sunday... He's lactose intolerant...). But yeah!
Story
time: Yesterday was my favorite day of the transfer! We spent the whole morning
serving with the Salvation Army! We spent 5 hours in a big kitchen preparing
TONS of food for the homeless :) They will be eating some very awesome turkey
today! But it was so fun to just be together as missionaries, serving people in
anyway that we can! Then after cooking, we had a few appointments and dinner
and then came the best part! Our hot chocolate stand at the metro!! We set up a
table and had hot water and cocoa packets and just handed it out to people.
They loved it! And it gave us a great opportunity to talk to people! I loved
the way their eyes just lit up when they heard it was free, and that it was
cocoa :) When they asked why we were doing this, I just told them "Because
everybody needs a cup of cocoa every once in a while. It's good for the
soul." I absolutely loved this! Sister Wong and I want to do it again
before Festival starts!

Speaking
of Festival!!! It starts super soon! A week from Friday is when it opens to the
public! Ambassadors night is the 28th and the delegates come on the 29th, then
everyone on the 30th! It's so exciting!! I can't wait! I can't wait! And the
renovations are done!!! YAY!!! I'll send pictures of my name tag on the wall :)
It's such a cool display! Ah! Lots and lots of pictures coming your way!
Anyway! I love you! I miss you!
Please be safe, warm, and happy. Remember how your Heavenly Father has blessed
you and say a prayer of gratitude (or two). He has blessed us all with so much:
family, friends, the gospel, the Book of Mormon, everything! Ah! I am so
blessed. Thank you for all that you do! I love, love, love you!
Love, Sister Bullock
