Thanksgiving Dinner

We had an awesome Thanksgiving dinner. We ate at an army base with a bunch of American families. They had most the usual foods that we have for Thanksgiving except for your vegetables with the Ritz on them. I missed that. They gave us two huge bags of ham and turkey to take home too, so we ate that all week. We don't really have much transportation costs in this area so we've been able to eat really good here. I've gained about 10 lbs in the last 3 months. I love our breakfasts here. Me and Elder Rigby eat the same thing every day: 2 potatoes sliced up, a bunch of pork, and 6-8 eggs all fried up together with some ketchup on it. Well, that’s about all I will say about food. Ha.
So Kim Sang Hoon is planning to get baptized this Monday night instead of family home evening and Jo Gi Hyun is getting baptized a week from this Sunday. They're both doing really good, but they're really busy with school and their jobs. We got a referral last week from our Gospel Principles class teacher Ee Gi Oak. It's her fiancé. We've met him once and we're meeting him again tonight. He already goes to another church, but he's pretty open to our message.
Elder Rigby and I taught the lesson in FHE last week and we read the story of the Brother of Jared getting light for the barges and we talked about how they can exercise their faith. It was pretty fun.


Yesterday we had Zone Conference all day. It was awesome. Sister Burton made us all lunch and we ate inside their house. She's a way good cook. President Burton and Sister Burton both gave some good training and talks. President's was about our purpose as missionaries and focusing on that purpose instead of worrying about stats and stuff. My favorite quote that he said was, "What are we willing to give up to feel the spirit more abundantly?"
Sister Burton's is always really spiritual. She talked about 10 gifts that she was trying to give to Christ and shared a scripture for each one, and then we sang a hymn for each one. The spirit was really strong when we sang "This is the Christ"
So as you can tell it’s been a killer week, especially yesterday with conference. I'm glad you're doing so well. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Lufkin
