Dia de Gracias

The highlight of this week was Thanksgiving! On Thanksgiving we had a Thanksgiving lunch with a family in the ward. And then for dinner we had another meal appointment with a part member family. One of the meals we had was more Mexican food then American! A lot of the sides were different types of rice and for dessert they had Mexican cake instead of pie. Also at both of the meal appointments all the extended family was there and it was tons of fun to get to know everyone! 

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 • Many people run the race for the wrong reason. (footnote 25a) They run to obtain a reward that is of the world. Why do you run this race of life? Do you run for the reason of Paul? Do you fight for our Savior? Those that run the eternal race and fight the eternal battle, those that discipline themselves to be chaste (footnot 27a), receive a reward in heaven that is more magnificent then anything of this world. This reward is eternal life and salvation in the life to come. (1 Peter 1:4)

This is one of the member's houses where we had a meal at this week. We ate outside the porch next to the river. 

Lighthouse in Port Isabel!

Turns out that a dirt road in the rain means muddy car.

Port Isabel! This are was a street right next to the ocean. Some of the houses we knocked were right on the shore. One of the guys even said that he goes out back and fishes off his porch. 

Another pros Pic of the fields.
