Wow that was a really long week!!
Not saying it was a bad week, it was great, it was just a challenging week and a little stressful! It was awesome because it was thanksgiving and also I turned 20!! Feels weird to say that now. I feel so grown up all of a sudden. Where did my childhood go...? haha Anyways, Thanksgiving was awesome. Got to sleep a lot and then we went to a members down in Corbin and ate some bomb Thanksgiving dinner. That was basically the day, eat and sleep!
My birthday was fun. We did our studies as usual and then at 10 went out on our bikes and rode around for a while and talked with people and tried to make some visits. We found this HUGE hill to ride down and Elder Burns has a little computer on his bike and he got going 40 down it. It was awesome! I didn't dare go that fast on my bike haha I feel like it would break. Then at like 1:30 we went with brother Johnson up to his house to go and cut firewood for a member (who didn't prepare for winter like he should have).
But it was fun! I really enjoy splitting logs. Its a really good workout. And its nice to be out in nature. Then at like 6 Bro. J took us out to dinner at Cheddars. Which is like a really really nice Applebees. its dang good food. So that was fun! And then we finished the night out at Barbara and Jessi's! There really is nothing like serving others on your birthday. Its a great feeling. That's how almost everyday is. Serving the Lord is awesome!

Oh so Barbara finally went to the court house to look into getting her divorce and she found out that its only going to cost 170 instead of 900. So that's a miracle! And we also put them on a stop smoking plan so they can quit by the 6th of this week so they can make their baptismal date of the 27th. They are allowed only a certain number of cigarettes each day of the week and it gets less and less until Saturday and that's when they get down to zero. Please please please pray for them so that they can finally quit smoking. We gave them each a blessing so they could quit. They want to be baptized so badly!
Oh so today tomorrow and Wednesday we don't have our car:( We had to take it into the body shop to get some dents removed and it wont be done until Wednesday. So we are on bike and walking for now! Had to ride to the Library today! Hopefully by the time we leave it won't be raining!
This is the last week of this transfer! On Saturday we will be getting calls to see if one of us is leaving. Elder Burns is way more likely to leave than me but we will see. So I will let y'all know as soon as possible!
Oh and I got me a new watch for my birthday. Ill send a pic of it.
Learned a lot about prayer and how important it is! I've learned that the first thing that most likely causes people to leave the church or to become less active is that they stop praying. Our communication with Heavenly Father is spiritually vital. So, don't forget to pray!
I love you all! Happy Holidays!!
