That time we were grateful

So we are grateful a lot but this week was Thanksgiving, hence the email title.
This week was great! We had a few member meals for Thanksgiving, I will start with the one that was actually the one on Thanksgiving, it was all the way down in Olympia/Lacey area I'm actually not sure, but its about and hour and a half to 2 hours away depending on traffic, which there was (Thanks Tacoma) but it was with the Wilsons! Jaime and Ann, they are so nice! Sister Wilson was my primary teacher back in Utah and Brother Wilson told a story about my dad getting firewood from their house and I remembered going to get that! It was crazy!
We also went to the Pecks in Lacey and we also drove that because the South elders are about 1300 miles over, and we are right on track so we drove. But it was good! and Brother Peck gave such an awesome testimony at the end of our lesson, it was sweet.
Also had a dinner with the Frays, they are a hearing family but the dad is called on the high council for the branch, they're awesome!
And then an impromptu lunch with the Mulladjanovs after we did some service!
It was a lot of turkey..and potatoes...and stuff of that ilk.
Anywho, we had some luck contacting some people this week and we set some appointments so we are excited for the future!
I'll share a miracle, so yesterday we texted everyone in the phone who's name starts with the letter D, we text this guy named David and he texts back, I'll just type the conversation.
"Who are you where from??"
"We are the missionaries!....."
"I am in Seattle Wa ok"
"We live in Seattle"
"Yes if you can come visit..."
"Can we come now?"
"What time?"
"4:30?
"Ok"
And that is how you get an appointment with someone in 10 texts or less, thanks Heavenly Father!
So we went to this guys house and he lives on Capital Hill in Eastern Seattle, its kinda ghetto and when we pull up theres an ambulance in front and all that stuff. We are walking in as the paramedics come out with a lady on a stretcher so that was interesting. Then it was a locked apartment so a crazy lady in the front room let us in, something I didn't realize is that there are a lot of buildings with crazy people in front who will just let you in. So we went in and invited this guy David to learn, he said he'll read the Book of Mormon and we can come back!
So Good news! Also some other stuff happened but thats a big email already! 
Love you all!
