This week went by faster than last week which I didn't think was possible. I think part of the reason is because Sis Van Tassell goes home on Saturday and that makes time seem like it's flying. We had a great Thanksgiving with the Mallow and the Currence families. Luckily we were smart enough to limit ourselves to two meal appointments so we didn't explode with food. Even just the two was almost too much for my stomach to handle. But it was sooo good. It was all basically the same as what I'd usually have for Thanksgiving at home which was nice.
Fresh Bear (not a huge fan, interesting aftertaste)

On Monday President Lindhardt called us and asked if we could have our interviews with him that day instead of when they were originally planned for on Tuesday in Buckhannon. We said sure and decided that since our washing machine was broken we would head to Buckhannon early to use the washing machine in the Buckhannon Sister's apartment and make them dinner. So we drove out there (about 45 minutes away), did our laundry and were about to get to the Buckhannon chapel when we get a call from President telling us that he's waiting for us at the Elkins building. We both had a mini heart attack and were trying to figure out what to say for a good while and then finally (like a minute later) he asked if we wanted to just meet at the Buckhannon building and if our clothes were done. He had been in Buckhannon the whole time and just wanted to make us freak out. And that's basically the type of person President Lindhardt is. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything without making a joke first.

Eating at El Gran Sabor, a super popular Venezuelan restaurant in downtown Elkins, probably some of the best food I've ever had.
I had a very spiritual experience in the regards to the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon happen this week. Sister Van Tassell and I were practicing introducing it to people and I had the feeling to turn to 3 Nephi 11 (when Christ visits the Americas) and read where Christ introduces himself to them. I started to read and immediately I felt this overwhelming power come upon me. I tried to read the verse but tears were coming to my eyes and I could barely see. It caught me so off guard and I think that's how the Spirit works a lot of the time. You get answers and reassurances when you least expect them. I'm so thankful for that experience because it is just another thing to add to my testimony of the Savior and the Book of Mormon. There is no other way to explain what happened than the Spirit testifying to me that it's all true.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and have a great week!
