This week was super busy! We tried working very hard to accomplish our goals early in the week because of Thanksgiving, but even after a full week of effort, we fell short. Thanksgiving day was a blast though. We had an exchange with the assistants on Wed and they spent the night that night. In the morning, we went to one of the nearby high school turf fields and played in a multi-ward turkeybowl. There were times when the game got very intense. Some of the members would argue with each other about the rules or what actually happened. Okies get very intense when it comes to football.
After that game, we went to a park by President Taylo'rs home to play football with he and his family. That game was way less intense. I played on the line with President Taylor. There was one play in the game where Elder Hanes slipped and fell when he was going up against President on the line. President Taylor fell on top of Elder Hanes and pretended like he had tackled him. It was very funny.
We had a Thanksgiving dinner with some members in our ward at about 2:30 and then right after that, we had another dinner with a Seinor office couple and some other missionaries. I ate way too much! I was so stuffed!
It is cool to see how true the scriptures are and how accuratly thay apply to our lives today. Every week I watch scenes from the scriptures play out before my eyes....as we work with investigators, and ward members. It is unbelievable. But I gain a lot of insight from the scriptures. I love the scriptures.
Love Elder Shumway
