Week of Nov 18 - Nov 24

Hello, Hello! 
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I hope you all are doing well! I know I am! 
Sister Housely and I are loving Rio Linda! It's really a fun place! We have meet so many people here so far- and we truly love sharing the gospel with those we come in contact with. 
This week has been busy, but good! and I know I have said before that pictures are coming....which they are! I just am terrible at remembering to bring my camera to the church where we do our weekly emails home lol so I'm sorry! Next week, You'll have some pictures to look at!  
We had the oppportunity to meet with Elder Ellis of the seventy! He was travelilng through our mission so our zone gathered together on wedesday ( November 20th) and we got to spend the entire day with him and his wife,SIster Ellis as well as President Weston and his wife. It was a very cool experience. 
Elder Ellis asked all of us missionaries a question- 
"Do you have faith in the savior, Jesus Chirst? "
we all just sat there, waiting for what he was going to say next...
"Because one day EVERYONE will be backed up to a wall with nothing but their belief of Christ to save them- that is the ultimate test. Will you have strong enough faith to say you do? " 
We all just sat there, pondering that question.
I know I had a lot to think about after he asked that question. It was a unique experience to hear from a witness of God, the things that we can do to be better missionaries as well as people and have the time to learn more about God and his works.  We  also learned alot on the Holy Ghost- and how we can truly have it with us as we represent the Lord in our daily lives.
The rest of the week was just as good! and we got a few more investigators too! They all have the desire to learn more about the gospel- which is super exciting for us missionaries- We love sharing the gospel! 
Overall, this week was incredible.Miracles are happening! 
I hope your all doing well! And that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Eat up!! 
My last question to you all is the same question Elder Ellis had for us missionaries-
" Do you have faith in the savior, Jesus Christ? " Can you share that with others who you may come in contact with?  
I know the savior lives and loves us all. I know his gospel is true, and the through Chirst we can do all things! 
Happy Thanksgiving! 
Until next time, 

Sister Matchett
