Thanksgiving

Hello everyone!

This week has been solid. We have been staying busy even through the holiday. Let's see, we have been teaching a lot of lessons, had some service projects and had Thanksgiving!

As far as service this week, on Wednesday Aiden's family ordered 8 yards of mulch for their garden. So they recruited Elder Morrissey and I to help. We just had to transport it by wheelbarrow to the back yard. We got it all finished though. Then on Friday we got to help out with the deck again. We got most of it done besides the facing so we will go back this next week and finish it up. But it has been nice to get out of the house and help those with projects. 

Thanksgiving was on Thursday! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We got to be with our district for the day, so just 6 of us Elders. That morning we sent out some hopeful messages to those who were alone on Thanksgiving. Elder Morrissey is really good at playing the piano so he made an arrangement and we made our video around that, it turned out well! We then got food from smith's (grocery store) delivered to a church building, so we could eat our Thanksgiving dinner. Not gonna lie it didn't quite taste like Thanksgiving back home, but we are grateful that we got food. That night we had a musical devotional as a mission and it was just a good way to end off the night. Overall it was a good Thanksgiving.

Well today we found out that our Zone Leaders that we live with came into contact with someone who had covid so we are quarantined until further notice. Yay quarantine again!! We just have to wait three days and see if they get symptoms so hopefully they don't and then we can resume our daily activities. Fingers crossed it will all be okay

That's pretty much my week, we are looking forward to this next week and the opportunities to come. I heard a bit from the family, and it sounds like most had a good Thanksgiving. I'm glad you are all doing well, I'm getting excited for Christmas and may or may not have already decorated. It won't be the same as being home, but we will make the best of the holidays while out in Utah. I hope all y'all are decorated and are getting ready for Christmas. Thanks again for the emails, it means a lot. It's fun to stay up to date with everyone. I love you all and hope you guys have a great week!

Love Elder Morgan
