Alrighty ladies and gents. It's been another fun week here in the big city! Every single day is a brand new adventure.
So we started off the week saying goodbye to Sister Burch. Yes. Sister Burch got transferred to Hayward as an STL. She's going to kill it. Everyone loves her. She's going to do great. Then I got my new companion, Sister Westenskow! She's never been on the peninsula before (most of the missionaries haven't as there are 2 zones on this side of the bay and 9 zones on the other side) so I really had to set up my navigation game this week. Public transportation? I am officially a pro at figuring out where to go and how to get there. I'm really proud about that tbh. Anyways, me and Sister Westenskow is super cool. She's from the coolest place on earth. San Antonio, Texas. We have lots of fun together and lots of laughs.
It's been a very tranquilo week. Because TODAY is Thanksgiving!! Our mission President told us that we were going to have a short pday on Monday and a full pday on Thanksgiving! So instead of pday ending at 6 like normal...today it doesn't end until we go to bed! So me and Sister Westenskow have just been going crazzzzzzy with the city tourist stuff. Hit Fisherman's wharf, pier 39, Boudin, golden gate park, Ghirardelli and probably something else that I cant remember. It's amazing all you can do in one day when you don't have a time limit.
Can we all acknowledge the message that our prophet shared last week? How powerful? I had the thought while he was praying that I don't think I have ever heard a prophet pray before. They always ask other general authorities in meetings to participate in that. In that moment, I was so overcome with the spirit. I felt so much peace. I was literally listening to the prophet of God pray for me.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving I just want to say that I'm thankful for each one of you. Believe it or not each and every one of you have touched my life. Each in different ways. I will forever be grateful for the support and the love I feel from you. I feel so blessed to know you.
Like always, I hope you all have the best week. And I can officially say...HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE
Happy Thanksgiving
