Monkey's, Lion's and Turkeys! Happy Thanksgiving!

November 25, 2013

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! What are you all going to do? Today I saw a Turkey. And I feel like that was the extent of my celebrations. ha-ha. Kidding. Sort of.... 

I was LITERALLY just hanging out in the jungle today. Did I touch a monkey´s hand for the first time today? Yes. Yes I did.  Did it feel exactly like ours? Yes. Yes it did. And that scared me!  Planet of the Apes anyone?  AMAZING!!!!!!!!!  We wanted to go to the waterfalls, but it was overcast. Which could be dangerous for a hike. Instead we went to a zoo. But cooler than Hogle, trust me. They just roam around there. It was awesome. Then on the ride home, we stopped off at someone’s house and asked to see the river. So we hiked down a ways and found the most beautiful river I’ve ever seen!!!!! It was fun!

Yes you stinker. You opened your Christmas gift WAY EARLY! haha Feliz Navidad. Don´t open the cards until next week.  I LOVE YOU!  Don´t feel bad at all. It´s a gift, you should feel good! Just know I searched and searched for the perfect nativity thing. I´m glad you got it! I thought I´d need to send it a month early. You got it really fast!

God put my companion and I together again for a reason. Last Monday I just totally lost it.  We called our district leader and they came over right away. We talked for a long time. They´re amazingly sensitive, for which I´m grateful. They gave me a blessing and truly the word ¨afflicted¨ stood out. I’ve never been more afflicted in my life. After all this, they told me to pick something fun to do.  We “cliche-ly” went and got ice cream. Then went to the chapel and played the piano and sang songs.  Remember the song: “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from the Lion King? I´d only ever thought of two lions rolling around, but this night it was a question in which I looked around and saw all the people that really love me. 

Yesterday was our Zone Conference with president and I lOVED it. My Heavenly Father is always preparing me for what He has to say.  He worked miracles. We went from cita to cita (appointment to appointment) and it felt good. I enjoyed looking into their eyes and remembering that they´re my brother or sister. I felt charity fill my being because I had a desire to help them no matter how they looked, what faith they already belonged to, how far away they’ve fallen, etc. I just loved them. God loves us. I know we are His children and He wants the best for us. 

This morning we did service. I wish my Dad and my brothers were there, usually they´re there to save me. Haha! They would’ve loved to see how we mixed and poured cement and cut and made the frames. I´m exhausted!!! I put on my big girl pants and got ‘er done! Ha ha ya´ll should be so proud. 

ITS POURING RAIN HERE AND THUNDER! MOM YOU´D LOVE IT!  AND IM SUPER HAPPY, NO WORRIES. I LOVE YOU ALL! 

Thank you for your sacrifices. All of them. 
Take care!
Okay. g2g. I love you!! 
Love,

Meg
