Hi Family!
Well, I'm very glad that it is snowing in your side of the country!!! It hasn't snowed here yet and we are very very grateful because, well, we walk outside a lot. and i don't want to walk in snow :)
thanksgiving was awesome... we got to play football in the morning and i got to watch and give my support :) i got to talk to sister de la mare and it was so fun! umm, it was weird to leave our apartment in pants and we saw a ward member that was really weirded out that he saw us in pants.. but it was really good. then we got to eat lunch with sister smith's aunt because they live here and she got permission from President Nelson to see them because there was an "enormous missionary opportunity" -- it was cool. they brought chinese food for us - and they were really excited to see sister smith. then we went to the bishop's house for thanksgiving dinner number two and it was so good - sister cadet cooked all day long for us and she is so sweet -- not only did she feed us but she packed us all a little box to take home with food too.
okay fam. so sorry but there are a billion people waiting for us to get done with email so they can all email their families -- so here are some of the highlights of the week -- we met with a less-active woman who hasn't had anything to do with the church in more than 10 years. well, she hasn't talked to anyone in the church in a while too.. but she let us in and we talked and she started talking about how much Christ has done for her in her life and how, just when she thought that something would kill her -- somehow He steps in and makes the load a little lighter. she is coming with us to a relief society activity next week and she is going to come to a Christmas devotional that we are having as a mission. it was really cool to figure out once again that we are so guided by the spirit and put in people's path to help them know how much God loves them.
another highlight of the week - after the football game we were walking home and a squirrel came up to Sister Smith and tried to eat a lifesaver out of her hand. then he tried to eat her fingers -- good thing we always carry hand sanitizer with us :)
the office elders came and tried to help us put up our blinds -- it was pretty funny to see them try and put the blinds IN the brackets and try to screw them into the wall that way -- it didn't work out so well and after a half an hour of seeing them suffer i had to show them how to put the blinds in -- while i was in a skirt. it was quite interesting!
a cute little russian woman asked me if my teeth were real today -- me and sister smith got a good kick out of that.
we had singing practice this week again for the christmas eve mission conference -- i almost had to sing the soprano part in a quartet -- yeah really glad that's not happening! miracles do happen :)
i love you all so much. i'm so sorry this is so short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i miss you and i can't even tell you how much you all mean to me.
love you!
sister michelle smith
