Thanksgiving

This really nice lady had us over for Thanksgiving dinner with her son and boyfriend and then gave us a bunch of left overs. 5 people [were there], not exactly what I'm used to but it was good food and nice conversation none the less. Later we went to this families house for some tasty pie and all was well. One of the girls in the family has a friend that we have been teaching for the past 2-3 weeks or so. She is awesome. She has stopped smoking and reads everything out of the Book of Mormon that we ask her too. She also likes coming to church a lot., probably cuz her friend goes but if she can survive this branch here then she will make a great latter-day saint. Not speaking bad about the branch but it needs a lot of help. A lot of the people have been in the branch for thirty years and just like to do things their way and don't take council to what they are supposed to do. It's frustrating cuz I don't always feel comfortable bringing investigators but that's where I just have to have faith that the Lord will bless the people who come for the first time. Oh boy am I learning patience out here. Church last week was so tough for me, you know I don't deal well with crying baby's in church and people rambling on about nothing spiritual, especially when there is a new investigator there for the first time.
