Best Week Ever!

This past week has easily been the best week of my mission so far. It started out super solid last monday, I got a package from my parents for Elder H's birthday. I got chocolate chip cookies! I was really happy about that! We went to do our laundry at a members house and she gave us both a bunch of rolls, candy, and pie! The next day was our temple day, we drove an hour and a half down to the LA temple. I honestly have never been so scared while in a car in my life! I also have never seen so many nice cars... Anyways, we finally got to the temple and it was HUGE!! We went into the visitors center and talked to the sisters in there. One is from Syracuse, I didnt know her but we knew the same people. In the temple, instead of staying in one room, we actually moved from room to room as we were in the different stages. It was really cool. We went to the distribution center and it was the size of my closet back home. So we just ordered everything we needed! We stopped at Denny's on the way home in LA and the Server guy had a rolex on, we were a little confused but its LA so whatever! Thursday was thanksgiving day, we started the day out well! At 1130 am we had a ward Turkey Bowl game, it was super lame that I had to play with the Old dudes in the Elders Quorum. I realized today why Elder H was only a linemen...that kid cannot run to save his life. After the football game, we had 4 dinners planned. We tried to budget what we ate in the first three so that we didn't die in the 4th dinner. Ya it did not go as planned...our 4th dinner canceled on us and I almost cried because I was so happy! I was soo ridiculously full! Good food though! The members gave Elder H and I 2 pumpkin pies, an apple pie, 2 cans of cool whip, and a tub of Vanilla Ice cream. We are pretty well taken care of! Here are some of the pictures from the temple! I love you guys and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
