I learned so very much from her I also want you to know that we have been invited to 4 thanksgivings. so i will live. OH i had to let you know that after the last box that you sent i had an elder call and ask if i knew how to make tortillas and i had the recipe that you sent me. he said oh man your mom is the best. and i was like i know. he says thanks
this past week i had a great conversation with my mission president. i love teaching the gospel and i love the area that i am in. i just want you to know that i'm doing great. and i cant wait to eat the marie osmond sweet potatoes.
Yeah i have to mail home the i pod. i can have it out here. i also wanted to let you know that im going to be sending home another box soon of mission junk. the standards in my mission are being raised and i need to send home some distractions and just junk that is not need.
also i can only receive e-mail from family and that mean just mom dads brother sister and grandparents. i just want you guys to know how grateful i am and how much i love you

i wantes to let you guys know about some of the people that im teaching right now....
first there is the Lewis Kids. They are so very amazing. This week i received a
thanksgiving day card for being their Missionary. It really touched my heart. We Have been Talking with their mom and are planing to have their Baptism sometime in December. They are so ready. they are learning and the love to read the scriptures.
Next there is Debbie and it is amazing to see how the gospel has changed her and
her family's life. there house look different and her son countenance has change
and we are not even teaching him. its amazing. i really love her alot. about three days ago we droped off some ensigns and she reads like one a day. she knows that the chruch is true. she has also talked about her and her son getting their own place that way she can be baptized.
Lynn is also doing really well. she has accepted a soft baptism. We did find out this week that she smokes but she said that she is going to work on it. she asked us to pray that every time she smokes that she gets really sick. Shes funny that way. Shes amazing and is learning alot. when the sister first started teaching her she thought Joseph Smith was a gold digger, but now she doesn't think that. so it one step in the good way. we do need to get her out to church that hasn't happened yet and i think that that has to do with alot of fear.
Marvin is also doing well. his wife bunnie says that she does not want to take
lesson but she is always in the room when when are there teaching him. Marvin is
basically a dry mormon. He comes every week, read... he just need to be baptized. he has grown over the past few weeks and i hope that i will continue to see him grow.
LOVE SISTER GOETZ
