Happy late Thanksgiving!!!!! So Thursday morning we had a devotional by Elder Dallin H. Oaks and his family. So Elder Oaks had I think his daughter or Grand daughter Jenny Oaks Baker and her kids perform three beautiful songs during the devotional. I loved watching Jenny and how emotionally connected she was to the music. Pretty powerful! Elder Oaks and his wife spoke on thanksgiving. Elder Oaks talked about different things about showing and being thankful. I loved how he said that we should all be thankful for the plan of salvation, I'm so blessed that i know the plan and how it can help so many people. 

We then did a service project that is also on the news? I'm not sure where but I think it is somewhere on Deseret news. We had an amazing thanksgiving lunch with the normal yummy thanksgiving food and of course pumpkin pie but Costco is way better. Sister Bolos and I gave a bag of chocolate to the workers to share to thank them for working on thanksgiving. Oh and I tried Wassail and it was good but it is like apple cider. But the founders of the Org. feed the children are not members but this was the 5th year and they just love coming and working with us..... So my job was to measured out the salt and put it in a bag that with water will be a casserole....  It was so nice to just be able to serve and be so happy.

For dinner we just ate as a zone in the classrooms and had a pb and j sandwich sack dinner. it was so fun to just talk and have fun. We then watched 17 Miracles which was the best I loved it and being able to remember some of my ancestors. Then we had another devotional that was like a talent show. we had everything from master organist to a yodeler to a district singing rubber ducky and they would squish a sisters head and she made the best toy duck sound. it sounded like the sesame street song to a t.

Then after that we got a candy cane and they turned on the pretty Christmas lights . so our Zone walked around and took pics and sang Christmas carols. Well love ya all and I would just like to say i am so thankful for the Holy Ghost and how he can help you out in a lesson so much that when my comp and I talk about how it went we didn't remember we said something till our comp said we did. Any ways love ya lots!

Sister Beck

  So the first one is our zone and the other redhead is going to Wa-tac with us Sisters!

Ok so this pic with the MTC store is us "black Friday shopping!"  Oh later that day I bought something at the store and they gave me a 40% discount and I was telling the Wa-Tac sisters that it is cool how we got a discount on black Friday.... Then they said that it is always 40% off for missionary's......... it was so funny!

My mom got a call from Sister Mickela Cupkie on November 24 telling her that she had just skyped with Sister Beck and Sister Bolos.  She weekly skypes with different missionary companionships to get them used to talking with people.  It was so awesome to get this call and know be told that my daughter is going to be an amazing missionary.  She mentioned that at first Camille was nervous, but as she kept on talking to her she started asking some really great questions and became more comfortable.  Sister Cupkie said that her and her companion both get a long great and laugh a lot.  I was thrilled to talk with her and then get these awesome pictures that she took while skyping with her.
