Dear everyone,

Lusaka is great. Thanksgiving was, as I said last week, quite
nonexistent except for our zone thanksgiving dinner prepared by Sister
Sanford on Monday. We didn't have turkey, but we had mashed potatoes,
chicken, and a lot of vegetables. It was quite nice, but nothing like
unto Mom's homemade Thanksgiving feast. We even had pumpkin pie and
some other pies. Delicious.

Rainy season is here again. It rained all night last night. We're
going to be muddy missionaries pretty soon. I'm not entirely excited
about that, but I am excited about the weather cooling off a bit.

The week was alright. We taught a good amount of lessons, and found 3
different families to teach, including one with a Brazilian mother and
Zambian father (you don't see that everyday). We're still doing a lot
of finding and dropping and we're just waiting to find those who are
willing to come to church! So far it hasn't happened as planned, but
we have faith it will!

On Thursday we had our branch mission leader work with us all day,
which was nice. He has finally finished grade 12 and so I think he'll
be able to help us out a lot more now.

We are very excited because tomorrow is zone conference. We will be
singing "A Child's Prayer" as the zone song and I'm conducting it. It
should be very nice. Transfers will be announced and it's quite
probable I'll be leaving this area. I've been here for six months and
to be completely honest I'd love to go to another area.

Love you all very much. I know that I'm engaged in the Lord's work and
His servants are at its head. I know the plan of salvation is REAL!

P.S. Christmas is coming soon now!
