 Hey!!

This week was wayyy good :)

I got to go to the temple and do baptisms!! Thats was so fun. We went with a recent convert family. It was a special experience. I got to show the husband how to baptize and then watched him baptized his family (for their ancestors). Some elders that taught the family got to come back and see them which was really cool! 

We did a TON of service this week too! We had service with the whole zone and basically organized like 100 Christmas trees into different categories. It was a work out. We didn't know the different types of trees very well so that was a struggle. You could say I'm not a "tree expert" 

We had a super coop lesson with one of our friends this week. We showed up and they were heading out the door... BUT... they said their parents were inside and we could talk with them. We were a little confused but did it anyways. It turned out to be an amazing lesson. We taught the resto and gave them a Book of Mormon! Super nice family.

Our zone has been focusing a lot on finding and being creative with it. Me and my companion, Elder Lindsey, decided to do trash can finding. We made it up. Basically we went and picked up trash cans that had fallen on the street (it was a SUPER windy day). It wasn't extremely effective finding wise... but we had a good time and served the community :)

Have the best Thanksgiving ever,

Elder Macfarlane
