Slow Progress

Hola,

I am staying on my mission! We got the transfer email yesterday morning and I was pretty nervous to see it. I have good news for the entire family:

YOU ALL GET TO MEET HERMANA JAHNEL VIA SKYPE THIS CHRISTMAS!!

We are staying together in the Cortez Branch!

This week has been much better. I have definitely felt strength beyond my own this week and I know it is coming from the Lord. A huge THANK YOU to all those who are praying and fasting in my behalf- it's definitely doing something.

The medicine has been helping so I am not too stiff in the mornings. We worked every day this week (slowly and with a few breaks, but we did a lot more than past weeks). Whenever it hurts really bad, I just don't say anything because I know there is nothing I can do about it. I just have to wait till the 'normal' kicks in. Tomorrow I will go to the doctor. I really hope he can give me a little more advice on how to overcome this! I will let you know next week how it goes.

To answer your question about what I will be doing for Thanksgiving…Well, in our mission we aren't allowed to eat with members. Thanksgiving is the only day that we can. We have been invited to 2 members houses to eat (We will go to both, obviously haha). Other than that, we try to help other people remember to be thankful for Jesus Christ while we are out finding.

We have a district meeting in the morning and I am sure we will do something fun. This week is going to be hard being away from my family. I am always at home for Thanksgiving! I hope you will remember that I am thankful for all of you! Also, this Thanksgiving, be grateful for thumbs. Mine aren't working today and it is making everything harder. I am learning to be grateful for small and simple things! Hahaha

The weather here is cooling down. It is still not cold though. Mom, you would love this weather! Tell Sambo congrats for me. It will be fun for you to see her and hear all about her experiences.

HAVE A THUPER THANKSGIVING! I love you all so much.

Thank you for everything you do for me.

Love,

Hermana Bryan
