Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!!

Things here are going pretty good. We've been without water for 3 days, so that's no fun. But hopefully we'll get it soon. I am however grateful that we've had energy. This past Saturday, President advised all missionaries to stay inside for the day. Apparently there were some protests going on and they didn't know how it was going to turn out. so we stayed inside all day on Saturday. We played chess and some card games. This Thursday we're all going to President's for thanksgiving.

So with Thursday being thanksgiving and all. I figured I'd talk about giving thanks. And I'm stealing this from my comp. Yesterday at dinner, we shared a spiritual thought. It was my comp, Elder Caffertys turn. He shared a scripture in D&C 98:1. Verily I say unto you my friends, ^afear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea, rejoice evermore, and in everything give ^bthanks; So we went around and we all said one thing that we're grateful for. It is always a really cool experience and i would advise you to do the same. Also Brother Weggland showed us something that he had done. He and his wife had made a list of everything they're grateful for. When we do so, our eyes will be opened to more blessings that our Heavenly Father has given us, and we will be more easily able to see the hand of the Lord in our Lives.

Eu sou Grato pelo evangelho em minha vida. Por cause do evangelho, eu sei que eu posso viver com minha familia para sempre. Todos nos podemos receber conforto por meio do evangelho. Tambem sou grato por minha familia. E Pais que me ajudam nesta vida. Sou grato por Jesus Cristo e a sua expiação. Este é o evangelho do Senhor. Amo Vocês!!

Com Amor,
Elder Money

To send a letter use the following address:

If you want to send a package via the US Post Office please follow these instructions exactly:

If the package weighs less than 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.) it should arrive at the Post Office where we have a post office box with no problems.

If the package is over 2.2 lbs it must be sent "EXPRESS" so that it will be delivered to our Post Office. If you send the package ordinary mail or priority post, it will not be delivered to our Post Office and we will be unable to retrieve it.

If you send a package, please DO NOT put the missionary’s name in the address. This will make it very difficult for us to claim the package unless the recipient missionary actually goes to the Post Office. PLEASE NOTE: If you are sending a package, put the missionary’s name at the beginning of the return address. Then we will know who it is for. For example, the package should be addressed as follows:

Elder Money
Smith Family

SLC, UT 12345

The customs officers will often insist on us providing receipts to prove the value of the goods being received. It would be a good idea to leave your receipts in the package.
