Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So last week was a hectic one! Transfers and thanksgiving should not come in the same week! But yeah, I got a new companion! Sister Davenport is from Idaho and she's been out for almost the limited amount of time! This was her first area, and it will probably be her last. I am really excited to serve with her! She's made this transfer bearable so far!
Thanksgiving was unusual, but good! We ate dinner with 2 members, then we visited some other members who gave us more food! I weighed myself at the beginning of the day and at the end, I ate maybe about 5-6 pounds of food!!! Crazy!! Haha! It was a nice, "relaxing", day!
I'm grateful for the chance I have to serve a mission though! I thought a lot about it this week! Sometimes I'm not so sure if I made the right decision or not, but it hasn't brought about major catastrpohies yet, so I think I'm pretty good!
I've come closer to my Savior, and an understanding of myself and my Father's love for me. It's amazing what only a few months can do to your spiritual well-being!
I'm grateful for a family who loves me and supports me! They've put up with so much, and I know it's cause they love me! They are the best people on the face of this planet and I am so excited to get letters from them, reading about how much they've grown closer to the Savior, and how much they've grown in life!
I'm so grateful for this gospel! It's such a wonderful thing in my life! I'm so grateful for the Atonement and the vasts of knowledge it provides us with! How lucky I am to know that my Savior, Jesus Christ lives, and has provided a way for me to live with the people I love, and to see my Heavenly Father again!
Happy Holidays ya'll! I miss ya!

Love, Sister Winters

P.S. I'm gonna try and send christmas cards, but I need addresses!!
