Hey everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have had a great week. My week has
been pretty good! Two thanksgiving dinners in one day! No big deal.
Just felt like my stomach was about to explode. But hey it's all
good. Our first one was super good. It was at the Cannons in our
ward. And it was super yummy. She is a dang good cook. And it was
super fancy. And then we went to our second one. It was super
random. We got a call on Tuesday night and a lady told us that she
has the missionaries over every year for Thanksgiving and that she wanted
us to come over and read the Mormon Bible
with her. We were like,
"sweet". Like we may have just received a potential! So let's go check it out. So we were super
excited! It is a little out of our area
but hey. Let's go teach them. So we show up and she was super excited to see
us. And
we are like "sweet". Thanksgiving 2.0. So we go in and sit down while we are waiting for her to finish getting everything ready. And we get
to sit down at the dinner table and it was the most creative Thanksgiving dinner I have ever eaten. There was some macaroni and cheese casserole.

And the food was almost good. And we were already pretty full. And it was
crazy. I have never had to pray for the strength in my stomach to make it
though a meal, but hey the Lord really does
answer prayers. And we all ended up
making it out alive! They were great people and I loved sharing
the gospel.
But it was an adventure to say the least.
And then on Friday we had dinner with a family from Turkey that
moved in right above us. They were super cool. And they cooked some
yummy food. They are awesome and want to learn more about the gospel
and come to church! I am so excited. They are probably my favorite
investigators right now. While we were at dinner we got offered wine,
coffee and tea. We happily declined and we told them about how we
don't drink them. And why we don't. And they were super understanding.
And were like "yea that totally makes sense". We see them all the time
because they live in our complex. And they are the best.
And it was Elder Sanders birthday this week. He is another elder
in our ward. And we had a cake and everything. And he wanted to go out to dinner. He kept telling us that all he wanted was just a big steak. So we decided to go to Outback Steakhouse. Dad you will probably get a kick out of it. But yea all four of us missionaries walked into Outback Steakhouse on Saturday night. It was so fun. And we were giving pass along cards to the waiter and stuff so we still did missionary work. And Elder Sanders got his steak. We probably won't be able to go out to eat for at least the next month. But hey it was worth it.
This week has been awesome. I am thankful that I am a missionary.
Until next week!
Love, Elder Bigelow
