Turkey Day

This week was good. Specially Thanksgiving. First we had a Turkey Bowl. We went and played Touch Football with some members. We played for like 2 hours. It was raining and cold but we had fun. After that we cleaned up and went parting with all of our district. Our Zone Leaders got invited to a party at a Bowling Alley. It was great! We bowled all we wanted, eat all we wanted and played games for free (air hockey and hoops, not arcade games). I had a good time with the members and trying to get to know them. We went to their houses and just talked to them. We had dinner at a members house. Family Juarez Alvarado. We stuffed our faces with food. We ate "Tukey a la Mexican" (quoted from the chef herself). Its one for the journal.
Fryday we went to play Futbol with some investigators and I hurt my knee really bad.
The whole week we have been working on getting Manuel and Glendis, our investigators, married. It is finally paying off. We have all of the paper work we just need to fill it out and send it in to get a license. After that its marriage and baptism.
Yesterday we went to Tillamook and got some work done there. I drove all the way theere. It was NICE! We tracted for a while and we knocked in to a couple that was really interested. They said that they really want to go, but there is no spanish group up there, so they said that they would come down to Hilsboro to church. They looked sincere. They felt the spirit and wanted to change their lives. We also went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. We had fun and tried all they types of cheese they had. After that we went to eat at Bro. Foote's house. He is a sweet member there and he told us a lot of his story. It was fun! I drove all the way back home. It was BAD! I was tired and my knee was hurting from Friday. All in all it was a good week.
