Hey Everyone!
Well I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! Mine was good! It wasn't
very eventful though. Monday towards the end of P-day I started feeling really
terrible again so I just stayed in and rested. It was pouring rain all night
anyway and there were tornado warnings so it wasn't a terrible night to have to
stay in. Tuesday morning we went and did service for a group called "Second
Harvest" who were giving out food for Thanksgiving. It was pouring rain pretty
much the whole time! Let me say, raincoats are great, but they don't keep the
rain out forever when it's pouring rain! I thought for sure I was going to make
myself sick again but I survived. We did it from 7-12 in the morning. The Elders
wouldn't stop making fun of me because my hands got cold and so they turned this
weird gray-blue color and it was creeping them out. I had to go home after and
take a really hot shower and then I wasn't feeling so hot so I thought I would
lay down for a bit and ended up like passing out for 3 hours. Apparently people
tried to wake me up but I wasn't having any of it. Then Wednesday I was finally
feeling like a normal person again! Plus it stopped raining on Wednesday so we
could go out and actually do missionary work and not have people think we were
crazy! Yay! Wednesday we had our district meeting to introduce the initiative
the church is starting. It is called "He is the Gift" and it is a pretty cool
video! The website is really awesome too! It has tons of info and really fun
short movies. It's pretty great. Then that evening we went and saw this slightly
crazy referral. That was an interesting experience. Then Thursday was
Thanksgiving. The eating marathon! We started out the day at Cracker Barrel
around 11. I knew we would have Thanksgiving dinner so I got breakfast! I got
french toast and it was super yummy. Then we had a dinner with a less active who
lives at a retirement home. That was interesting. I just have to say that I
strongly dislike dressing. It is just not good and I am very thankful I don't
have to ever eat it again! Also, macaroni and cheese is just not a Thanksgiving
food! Then we had a break to digest for a while and we went over to the
Robinsons. They are super awesome! They had normal Thanksgiving food like
stuffing and rolls and potatoes and gravy. It was really delicious! I was super
full though. Then we went to a family after that and had dessert! It was a
pretty full day. Then Friday Sister Wheelwright got sick but we struggled out a
lesson with the family we have been working with. He is getting baptized on
Saturday so that is super exciting! Another exciting thing is that his son was
at the lesson also and he expressed interest in going to church and learning
more! It is all super awesome. Friday night a member of the bishopric called and
asked if I would speak on Sunday so I ended up giving a talk on keeping the
commandments/following the savior/whatever I felt like I could talk about for
ten minutes at short notice. I talked about how keeping the commandments relates
to having a broken heart and a contrite spirit. I have been reading the bible
dictionary lately because that is what you do when you have read everything else
multiple times. I came across the scriptural definition for the word "peculiar"
and I really liked it! The scriptural definition for the word "peculiar" is "the
Lord's own special people or treasure." We have always heard ourselves described
as a peculiar people, thinking we are odd, which we are, but when the Lord calls
us peculiar people in the scriptures he means we are his treasure! Ya'll might
have already known this but it's a new discovery for me and I thought it was
cool. That's about all I have for today! Hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
Sister Price
