HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

With it being Thanksgiving time, I will share with you one thing I am thankful for this beautiful fall day! I am thankful for my name! Yes my name! The name Amy. I sure do miss it but love reading it at the top of my letters! I have never really appreciated the name much, it was just my name. Now, I really miss hearing it. I never thought of it before. Sister is plain, especially when every other sister is sister! So, yes mom and dad, thank you for naming me AMY!

Plans for Thanksgiving include dinner with a family, visiting with another family in the ward and getting together with our district tonight to play games! Yes, we are playing games.

I love it here! Yesterday, we helped a member who just had heart surgery and can't lift anything. When we left, she gave us 3 pies! How does that happen? Good thing we are seeing the elders tonight!

Me with my Mission President and his wife

Members we stayed with, my comp and I, Neighbors from home.

The first stop we had in California was the Sacramento Temple. We ate lunch there then hustled to the mission home. We met with President Jardine. That night, Sister Moss and I stayed at a members home. Then the next day we met our companions and went to our first area. Sister Moss was my comp in the MTC and she and her comp live with us in a house.

Some neighbors from my home ward used to live in this area and were coming out here for business so, they brought a package from home. It had my coat- that was just going to be sent to me. The people who we stayed with that first night, were the same people that bought the house from my neighbors that now live back home, 15 years ago! It is such a small world! So we got a picture of me and my comp, the members here and my neighbors at home!
