Dear Mom,

I am excited for my first Thanksgiving on the mission! It is super cold here too! In Utah there isn't as much wind as in the panhandle! That is really awesome and I am so proud of the girls!(Soccer) You should really send that Album to me for Christmas!(Nashville Tribute to Jesus Christ - Redeemer) That sounds really cool! Our plan is to eat dinner at a members house and go to this ward function called the Turkey Bowl where the ward plays football so that should be really fun! And I honestly do not really know what I need for Christmas, maybe more ties, a French to English Dictionary and a How to speak french book, and letters from everyone in the family as well as Hyrum. We are teaching this girl named Josie who is a Less Actives girlfriend and she is doing well and reading so that is good.

That sounds like a really fun game! I should definitely try that! (Rollick) That would be weird to go back to a new house but if you do move, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT MY BOX OF STUFF I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IS NOT LOST OR DAMAGED POR FAVOR! I don't want to turn out like the RM in the movie haha! I will be skyping you guys on Christmas! So what happened this week is that I am learning French again with the French Book of Mormon because there are French Immigrants in a nearby town that I could possibly get sent to so I don't want to be caught off guard, I am also learning Sign Language because there is a member who can't speak so he speaks using sign language. We taught this lady named Summer the Atonement because she is going through hard times and she cried and was definitely touched by our lesson. There is also something called the HE IS THE GIFT Initiative which is a Christmas way for missionary work! It should get a lot more interested people for sure! I also ran into a Guatemalan Bishop Yesterday who knows Elder Young in Quelzaltanango! so I got a picture with him and sent it his way! Then while we were teaching a 10 year old kid he said that people keep antiing him for his LDS beliefs, that just made me sick that people would target them so young! Dennis got baptized so I now have my first baptism so I am excited!

So how is everyone doing? I hope all is well! Love all of you guys and wish the best!

Love,

Elder Farley
