Howdy!  Sounds like everyone had a good Thanksgiving full of food and good company. Mine was very similar and I have since recooperated from being sick.  After emailing last week I asked Elder Riley and some other elders to give me a blessing, then we went to work and I ended up throwing up in someone's yard while contacting them but he was nice enough to offer me some water (the man we talked to had been suffering from memory loss so hopefully he's forgotten about that incident).  I started feeling a little better and then we went to a member's house to eat and not to be rude I ate what I could, then when we got home that night I was feeling really cruddy and threw up again. Sadly, I had to stay in for the first time on Wednesday but we were finally able to go out and work by 6 pm.  It was no fun but now everythings great.  By the time Thanksgiving came I still wasn't feeling great but I was determined to eat.  So we ate with the Portillo's, that was pretty much a traditional thanksgiving dinner.  Then we went by the Guzman's, didn't eat with them but they gave us some fajita meat and salchichas.  Then we went to the Flia. Rodriguez, and they fed us some sandwiches from El Salvador (kinda like a torta) with turkey.

As for transfers, turns out my time here in Mo City has come to an end, at least for now. I love this ward and all the members and investigators I was able to work with.   I was finally able to take some pictures with Joaquin and Maria (recent converts) so I'll send those next week a lo mejor.

Anyways, love y'all, hope your week is full of peace and blessings.

Love, Elder Cooley
