First Thanksgiving in Florida

Hello everybody!

     I have to keep this short but there are pictures so everything will be fine... This week was great! It was really slow because there were no college students on campus/in apartments/in Gainesville/basically on earth for what it seemed like, so we spent a lot of time organizing lists, calling people, and doing paperwork-ish things.

      We spent Thanksgiving with all of the missionaries from our branch - Elder and Sister Booker, the senior couple here, had us over for thanksgiving dinner. It was really great to be in their company on such a great day. We really enjoyed it.

THANKSGIVING!!! I think that being in the YSA (young single adult congregation) and not eating as much has decreased my appetite, because I could barely eat a plate of food. It was so good... wow... Yeah, props to my mom for cooking for like this for us basically every week because, let me just say, I can sure appreciate a meal like this more after being in the YSA. 

Thangsgiving Dinner and my whole district

Eating food because what on earth else would I have pictures of?

 Also, notice my great bow hold on this glass of water. Professor Michelic would be proud :)

Here is our wonderful district! From left to right, front to back...

Sister Koener, Sister Eberting, Sister Randle, Sister Hansen, Elder Martin, Elder Bangerter, Elder England, Elder Aiken, me, Elder Day. 

Yep here we are...

      Transfers are this Wednesday! Lots of exciting things happening... Elder Bangerter is leaving and Elder Kautai is coming back to finish training Elder Aiken! I went on several tradeoffs with Elder Kautai - maybe you remember him from previous letters. He was serving in High Springs, just outside of Gainesville, but is now here in the YSA! My companion is also leaving! Ahhh! he's going to be a Zone Leader in Ocala, and I'm excited for him. My new companion will be Elder Mahoney, who came out at the same time that I did.

      I hope that you all had a great thanksgiving and are getting excited for the Christmas season! Stay warm (not a problem here), stay happy, stay serving!

              Love you all,

                      Elder McMullin
