This week has been pretty good! I have news, though. I'M BEING TRANSFERRED! I'm not sure where to yet (I find that out tomorrow) but I am honestly kind of excited to go somewhere new.
So, last Monday, we got to go on a hike WITH LLAMAS. (See picture below) The llamas are being trained to carry things for hikers, so we and the Mt. Sneffles Elders all went on a lovely hike with llamas. So, that was fun! (Even if the llamas were kind of stubborn)
We have been continuing to teach Connie, and she is great! She is OCD, so she gets caught up on tiny details (for instance, what Nephi meant when he wrote 'so forth.') but she is doing great! She came to a baptism in the Black Canyon ward with us, and that went really well.
And yes, Thanksgiving happened. So, as missionaries, we get to have multiple dinner appointments, and those appointments can last for up to two hours. So, we had two delicious Thanksgiving dinners, one of them at our Ward Mission Leader's home. We also helped him and his wife set up for Christmas in the yard. We're also helping them tonight to decorate their Christmas tree. Decorating the tree will be my last appointment in Spring Creek ward. Super excited about that.
A few other things happened: Cody came to Church! Since he's 14, he didn't enjoy it as much as we'd like, but we're still hopeful for him. We also talked to a girl named Ashley who was suuuuuuper prepared to hear the lesson. She's wanting to go to Church and be baptized if she felt it was true. So, that was great.
Also, one of the families in the ward, the Harrison's, who I've become super close with is actually related to me! We did some research and Dave found that he's related to the Johnson's! So, we're distant relatives, I guess.
People keep giving me food because I'm leaving. I mean, I'm not complaining, because now we have like 5 tupperware containers of cookies, I'm just stating it as a fact.
Thank you all so much for everything to do for me! You are all the best! I will talk to you all next week!

Hiking with Llamas! This is Tanya the llama. She was pretty cool.
The Palmers had a festive Thanksgiving hat. So I wore it.
