Happy Thanksgiving

November 21, 2016
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
And what a great week to be be great full for. I am now serving with Elder Kelly he is from Las Vegas Nevada and he loves the mission. He has 3 siblings and he's the youngest of his family. He loves to bowl and run cross country and was on the swim team and he looks a lot like Elder Zachary Jacklin. At least to me he does.
We'll Monday was the day to say goodbye to Elder Morwood which was sad cause I learned a lot from him but he will take great care of Pekin.
I'm still in Princeton and I'm happy to be here for another transfer.
Tuesday was transfer day and I got the opportunity to do some work in Peoria with Elder Wiser while we waited for our country companions to come.
I was able to get a couple names for the Peoria elders and past out a couple Book of Mormons and I was able to get a couple referrals for the Joliet missionary's.
Then Elder Kelly showed up and I drove us to Spring Valley so he could meet a couple people in the branch. We had 46 people go to church last week and only 7 of which were visitors.  I was so happy.
Well Wednesday came and Elder Kelly is our new district leader and so we had a great lesson and then we drove to pizza peel and have done a wonderful lunch. We then drove to spring valley and had a lesson with the Ashby Eugene is now back on date so we are very happy for him.
Thursday came and we as a companionship that's Elder Kelly and I decided to work with the members more as well as out investigators you know what it's working . The members here love us missionaries and they are giving us names and they even offer to use there home for lessons it's great. There's nothing better than having a lesson in the members home. The spirit is always strong .
Then that night we decided to go through our phone and area book and decide to clean it out a little bit more and call people and we got more lessons that way and we been visiting less actives and all the less actives came to church this week and it was amazing to see oh and I got to play the organ for sacrament meeting that was fun now I can say I played in sacrament meeting.
Over all this week was aaaaaammmmm,aaaazzzzzziiiiinnmmmgggg.
We also got a Christmas tree and lights for five bucks it was sweet so now we have a tree this week was just great.
Love ya all,
Love,
Elder Vickers -Jacklin
