Serving in the Everette, Washington Misson: Nov 24

Elder Feidler,

Hello from home. Another Thanksgiving is upon us. I can't believe it's the end of November. It's been a good week here at home. On Tuesday night Maddie had Young Women in Excellence. It was awesome. Maddie and Chelle sang a song together and sounded great. They were harmonizing to Daughters of a King.

Here's your princess sister.

On Thursday Zack brought his bridge made of toothpicks to school for Physics class. He passed the weight test and made a 100.

I got at shirt in the mail this week. Zack did the art work from a photo of the car.

I started this classic Mini facebook group and now we have about 9 members.

I took advantage of a pre Black Friday sale and got a 40" LCD TV for $115 at Walmart. And it fit in the car!

We had a great Elder's Quorum lesson today based on he conference talk "Is it I?" If something is not going right in our lives we should be humble and ask if it's us? It just might be. I hope you have had great success this week. Keep working hard and you will be blessed as well as blessing many people.

Do you have a dinner appt for Thanksgiving day? I hope so!
I love you lots. Have a great week and be thankful!

Love,
Dad

Dear Family!

They moved our P-day to Thursday but allowed us to come email today for an hour. After updating numbers and reading emails I've got 30 mins left.

This past week sadly we had an investigator drop us and 2 investigators disappeared. But we did have a few lessons with Jessica last week. She still has her goal to go cold turkey with smoking on Thanksgiving day. It's been hard for her. She used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day and is down to about 10 a day. We are so proud of the progress she has made and plan to stop by often this week to help her get to 0 cigs forever. Also we were able to stop by and teach Rick and Beth twice this week. They are talkers, BUT they are very friendly. They have a lot of Mormon friends and believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet. They are Free Masons.

Then we have the ward Christmas party coming up soon. We and the Sunday School presidency our in charge of it this year. Br. Schwartz, our ward mission leader, is doing an awesome job with it. Speaking of the Schwarts! They fed us an amazing dinner. It was baked French toast that tasted like monkey bread! Also I've been drinking lots of milk lately and eating granola for breakfast. No more Eggo waffles.

Sadly we forgot to bring our dinner calendar to church yesterday so we only have 3 dinners this week. We do have a Thanksgiving dinner scheduled. Here is a picture of what our fridge looked like this morning.

It's the least amount of food I've had my whole mission! We hope to swing by the grocery store today during our lunch hour to grab a couple of things.

Also this week we had lots of visitors in our apartment.
