Thanksgiving...NOT!

My Thanksgiving was about just as good as yours just minus being sick. That stinks that you have been sick, strep, sinus issues, and mono sounds like you got a tough three in a row to try to fight. I got a picture from Julie with Nat, Syd, and Bubba in it :) Wow, she (Kenna) is doing "The Gettsburg Address", that is crazy, is that the four score and seven years ago one? Or is it a different one... hahaha I have no idea. Doesn't sound like Jessica ended up going to the soccer tournament then, thats a bummer that she got hurt just before, or maybe it was a good thing she got a little hurt right now than really hurt down there. You are right, I dont really miss getting all the Christmas stuff out, when I am home, but I am really missing doing it right now... :/ Just tell Kenna that when Christmas comes it just means that I will only be gone for another year... hahah and then when the next Christmas comes I will be like 2ish weeks from coming home :). So thanks for letting me know that you are back from letting the dog out, hahahaha I was wondering where you went. ;) hehehehe I am still a bit of a smart-alec ;) Tell the lady that is bringing down the stuff to just drop it off at the mission home, It will be easier to get because we do have our party thing on the 15. So just tell her to leave it there and we will be able to have it two days afterwards. Oh, and I got my packages!!! wahoo!!! Thanks for all the stuff :) There was a ton hahahaha I love the ties, the treats, the notes, and everything else :) But there is definitely one thing I would like some more of that I didnt really think that I wanted, That would be pictures :) Those made me really happy, If you would, send some soccer one, some with Tally Riley and Kim, some with the family, and some just fun ones that you like :) I honestly don't remember what was in the package that I sent home... that was like 8 weeks ago hahaha I need to talk to the Elder to find out if he actually sent it...


1.  How is the work going?  Do you have any full member families yet?1. We do not have any full member families yet but it is coming along. We are teaching two more families that we need to marry and then we can baptize them :) So once we do that we will be able to baptize them :) They came to church yesterday and they liked it a lot :) 


2.  How is church leadership going?  Are they trying to find someone reliable to take charge?
2. We are still seeing about the leadership things... hahahaha We still need a President and pretty much everything but the Relief Society... hahaha But we have gotten really a lot farther in these last couple weeks trying to figure out who could be good to put in as leaders. Almost every member is going to have a calling. hahahaha That is still weird to me!


3.  Tell me anything that I don't know.  Going to work today really wore me out and I can hardly think straight to come up with questions this week, so tell me anything and everything.3. Ummmmm We are finally getting some stuff for our house (Tables, seats, and bed frames) so we dont have to keep going back to the church everymorning to study and to shower. The President actually came and delivered the packages to me personally on Friday, mainly because he was coming to do our interviews. So we had our interviews and it all went good. I didnt do anything special on Thanksgiving and it was actually on our worst meal day that we had it... hahaha I found a scripture that I really like in D&C 61: 36-39, I just think it is a really cool scripture that we all need to remember. Nothing big but just that we are his children he loves us and we will be o.k.


4.  Best and worst part of the week.4. Best part of the week was getting my packages and having the people in the church that we can baptize :) the worst part of the week is that it has been raining hard and I feel like I might be getting a sore throat. But it is still pending so we will see if my body can fight it off with the help of the Lord (which is very probable) hahahaha ;)

So thats about it for me, I am doing good, still having a good time, hope you guys are too :) Love you, have a great week.

Love Elder Evans





The members made him a birthday cake and stuffed his face into it to celebrate!

Those members will be Jenni's favorite for taking care of the cake in the face! Glad he got his packages. Sounds like Thanksgiving was tough on both of our boys. Glad to have one down!
