Dear Family,
Happy Thanksgiving to the Ricks Clan!
Thanksgiving was pretty good. It definitely wasn't a Ricks Family Thanksgiving,
but for a Scottish missionary, it was just grand! We had a chicken that I
carved (hold your applause, I know, I know) and some veggies along with
potatoes. We had trifle for dessert. So there you go—probably the most varied
Thanksgiving meal I've ever had, but it was quite good. And then after dinner
we did all the dishes, and I accidentally got into a water fight. Suddenly I
was pouring water on people's arms. I don't know how that happened. (Just
kidding, I do. It was retaliation mode for water shot in my face.) But anyway,
moral of the story is that Thanksgiving was just peachy.
We met a cool lady, L--, on the street a
couple of weeks ago and she came to church! That was crazy and I was not
expecting her to agree to come to church so fast! So that was a huge miracle
and she really liked it. So hopefully that continues going well. We got an
awesome Joint-Teach who is now her best friend and is loving her. They are
great for each other, so that is really good!
We also went to Alison's to burn something for
my hump day coming up! It's in just 5 days and I'm halfway! So we burned my
yellow jumper that was fitting weird. And it was SO MUCH FUN! We used their
parasol thingme and lit it on fire and it just burned like crazy! It was
seriously one of the funnest things ever. We had pizza as well and it was just
a blast. Alison is the coolest person that ever lived.
S-- and C-- ALMOST came to church this week
but then C-- had to go to the hospital with some bad health problems, which was
so stinky. BUT it was awesome because she told me that she knows the adversary
is trying to get her, which strengthens her testimony that the church is true.
She is seriously lovely and I just love them so much. I have so much love for the
people here! It's absolutely incredible how amazing people are.
Next week is moves call, but I hope and think
I'll be staying in EK for another transfer to finish training Sister Jacques. I
love East Kilbride!!!
Well, I can't think of anything else. I know
more happened but I just canny mind! :) Haha.
I love each of you loads, and I know the
church is true! It's the best thing ever!
Love,
Sister Amanda Ricks
