HAPPY THANKSGIVING YA'LL!!!! This year I am especially grateful for.......YOU!!! This applies to all my family and friends that I love and miss sooo much!!! I can't wait to tell you about all the great things that happened this week! Enjoy:)

1.SNOW: It snowed. I am not sure how I feel about this. I don't mind the winter but I can't stand the ice and wind. Oh well, it just makes me so much more thankful that we have a car! We are super blessed!! The first night it snowed we were out and about and oh my lanta the road was super slippery and it was so stormy we could barely see but the work must go on so we just bundled up and said a prayer of safety and went about our normal night! That's just like life, blizzards come but you just keep going!

2.EXCHANGES: We had exchanges with the STLs the other day and it was super fun! They are a trio too so I went with two of them and their companion went with my companions. I got to teach in English and it was weird but super fun! We taught a lot of people and had lunch at Taco Bell and had a fantastic time! Exchanges are hard cause you spend a day with these new people and fall in love with them and then you never see them again! So sad! But basically it was a fantastic day!!!

3.STAKE CONFERENCE: So I just had stake conference in my last area but we just had it in this area so I scored and had two stake conferences this month! This one was super cool, we had it in a high school auditorium because the stake building is too small. It was weird but cool at the same time. The best part was we got to translate the conference! It was awesome!  I just did a prayer cause its the easiest part and my amazing fluent companion did the talks. Translating is super hard but super fun! It was a great Sunday!

4.INVESTIGATOR UPDATE: Everyone is doing great! We've just been teaching and teaching and meeting lots of new people and all that normal missionary stuff! Life is great!

5. FOOD: Guys, the struggle is real! My stomach does NOT like Hispanic food. I get sick every single night! Tums are my salvation the moment. It so hard cause Hispanic people get very offended if you don't eat their food and I have for sure choked down some nasty stuff! Hispanic food is not my friend but every once in a while we eat something super amazing and then it makes it all better! I have this slight obsession with salsa verde at the moment! But yeah I am in a love hate relationship with the food here!

Alrighty well that's all for this week! Everyone stay safe, happy, and know that God loves you! And of course, I LOVE AND MISS YOU TONS!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxox Hermana Rice
