To be honest, this week was really long and really hard, but we pulled through! Everyone canceled on us and it got really cold really fast. Saturday turned out to be pretty good. We were walking and felt inspired to go back to a family we hadn't seen in a while. The son opened the door. We had given him a Book of Mormon and he had read several chapters. He had been asking his mom where the church was and she couldn't remember. We had a really good chat with him, he is loving the Book of Mormon.
Saturday we also were fasting for Mario, he didn't come to church last week and hasn't answered our calls. Henry was a good pal and called him and told him that since he got baptized, he promised to come to church every Sunday. And Sunday Mario came to church! Yay! Fasting is real. Still have some other things to figure out, but God will take care of the things we can't.
Another cool thing was one of the assistants to the president found a deaf person this week and used his tiny bit of ASL and got her info. She turned out to be in the other ASL area, but it was still exciting. Elder Johnston was SO proud of himself.
Yesterday we had a good contact, it was the last door before a member came to get us for dinner. He is a very elderly man, and has a nephew that is a bishop in Canada. He had been looking for a Book of Mormon in the library and couldn't find one, so we gave him a copy and we are going back next week. Definitely inspired and we have a lot to be grateful for this week.
Have a great week and enjoy your Thanksgiving! Love you!

| When we were walking this week, an agnostic lady gave us some flowers she was trimming. It was funny. |

| The impact elders came to the Bartlett area. We Bartlett missionaries always fail at pictures. |

| Last week for p-day we went to the Civil Rights Museum. It is at the hotel where Martin Luther King was assassinated. It was really interesting and well done museum, we loved it. |
