Happy Thanksgiving

hello family hope everyone is having a fantastic thanksgiving. i had my first and probably only argentine thanksgiving today needless to say it sucked haha all the chefs tried to make it american as possible nice try terrible execution. but i can honestly say that it was better than grandma bartons carrot jello haha sarah i was forced to eat yams today haha all the chefs just stood there and watched all the north americans eat the food tryin to see their reaction and all of us just completely faked it haha and with every bite i thought of how me and you say how disgusting they smell well let me tell ya they smell as bad as they taste haha. and of course they stood their the whole time and they get quite upset when you throw away their food and you just feel terrible cause since i have been here so long they are my friends now haha yea that was our meal turkey and yams yum hey atleast it is 90 degrees outside haha. anyways i bet you are all pounding out the food at the barton house today sues infamous cinnamon rolls, there so famous their not just famous their INfamous. stuffing, mashed potatoes oh my gosh haha. anywho thats awesome stopped by to say hi what a stud and im sure he is just a little buff guy as if he wasnt that before haha he last time i talked to him he said he was just gonna finish this semester but i will write him and see whats goin on with him and that whole deal. anything else i guess since its thanksgiving i should say what im grateful for haha just all you my awesome family you all are so awesome and thanks so much for supporting me on my choice to serve a mission i know i am doing the right thing and i have already had my up days and down days and i know there is a lot hopefully not to many ahead of me but i know what i am going through is nothing compared to the lord went through in that garden, something that has really grown since i have been here is my testimony of the atonement. i have thought about the most gruesome pain i have been through physically and emotionally and i try multiplying that by i dont know a billion and i cannot even comprehend all that he went through for us not a day hasnt gone by that i dont get on my knees and thank jesus christ for that atoning sacrafice he made for us. anywho glad to hear the girls had fun in california thats always a guaranteed good time. its pretty crazy my time at the CCM is almost up i have 1 more p day here and i think like 9 days i have been here so long that this now feels like my home but at the same time it feels like i just barely got here last week. its pretty crazy the field is gonna be crazy fun and i feel ready doctrine wise and what i need to teach but of course i wish my spanish was better but i know it will come with time i just need to be patient and work hard. thats really all missionary work is be patient with the lord, yourself, and your companion and work hard and the lord knows exactly what to do with you. so these last 2 weeks or so here and just review so im thinking i will feel a lot more comfortable after those review days any way let me know how thanksgiving went sue i cant wait to recieve those padded envelopes i dont think they came today so i will just have to wait till next week. love you all. i wish you all a happy thanksgiving from argentina! keep being the awesome family you are!
