hello,

Well this week was great. We had a lot of service opportunities lately. We started serving at the local brentwood museum because someone we visit recommended it to us. It was amazing! We went there and they have so much stuff. A few restored model T's, old tractors, and old school room and old history related to Brentwood. My companion and I spent our time washing the old fire engine and put on lights around the truck in preparation for the Brentwood festival that just happened Saturday. We also served in the Brentwood festival pretty much all day putting floats and people in the right places and doing other things. It was fun to see the parade and shows. They even had a group of dancing horses perform. Also we went to some other members house and helped them clean and we found a box of old record albums. They even had one of the beach boys original records which i would bet would be worth something. Does our record player still work? Or do we even have it any more? 

We went by our ward mission leaders house this sunday and discussed a lot of the old progress records by the other missionaries and we found quite a few former investigators to go by and teach. We already stopped by a few and set return appointments with them and they seem great to far. One of the people we stopped by the husband and wife both have a harley. The wife nina is probably getting a new harley this weekend actually. I thought that was pretty cool :)

Our thanksgiving is pretty shallow this thursday. We have one member signed up for 3:30 but other then that we don't have anything set. We aren't supposed to be knocking on doors thursday so pretty much we are going to have to spend the whole day riding our bikes talking to people because we haven't been invited to members homes, we will find a way to do something it will be alright. One of our investigators might be allowing us to come over on thanksgiving which is exciting. I think the last thanksgiving at home for me was with the david and susan and lori and grandma right? I don't remember that well haha.

We will you be back from the vacation. I'm thinking about sending some boxes home soon of mission stuff so I won't be so heavy coming home and I don't want them just sitting out of the house for a few weeks.

Other then that have a great week and have a happy thanksgiving!

Love,
