AN OBEDIENT NOTE
November 27, 2018
Hey Mom and Dad! I just thought I'd send out a good note to you just in case I wasn't able to get a full weekly email out today. Plus, I totally got called out for not specifically sending a note to my parents each week, so I needed to make sure I sent one this week.
Thanksgiving we had a blast! We went to the Pinkney family home for dinner, and then we stayed for games and other general fun. I'll send you some pictures. We also got a bunch of video clips, and we compiled them into a video that we went and showed them as a thank you! It was really fun! I'll send you a link or attachment so you can see it. Also, some pictures.
Speaking of the Pinkney family, they are so fun! They are probably my favorite family here. Sister Pinkney has given us a ton of food, and has really taken one of our recent converts under her wing. She use to really love the Sister missionaries in the Spanish Branch (which is why they were also at Thanksgiving), but now she loves us more. Maybe. But it's not a competition.
But if it were, we'd be winning XD.
So, Christmas is coming up, and I was trying to think about this video call thing. Are you going to be video calling Alex? If so, calling both Alex and I in the same call will probably be chaotic, so I would recommend not doing that. Instead, I think that you should call him first while you've got everyone together, and then I can go after. He would like to have everyone's full attention, I'd bet. Just my few thoughts.
I still need to get those measurements, and I should be getting my glasses tomorrow. Also, I'm Staying in Palm Springs and getting a new Companion in Elder Brown, who I knew when I was in Yucaipa! He's awesome, and I can't wait to serve with him!
Also, I love you both! Seriously! I'm so grateful for brave parents who stand up for truth as they know it, parents who teach lessons that I may never forget, and parents who love me so much that I can feel it in everything that they do!
I wish there was more that I could do for everyone from over here! Let me know if there's anything I can include in my weekly email or if there's someone I can write (I need to write Alex again this next week, for sure), keep letting me know!
I love you!

P.S. I think Sister Pinkney texted you some pictures or something, Mom? Could you let me know if you got those? She was worried that you didn't get them.
1 and 2) Thanksgiving!
3) We went to go see Michelle at her spa, and Elder Mills got a mani-pedi, and Sister Pinkney came with us.
Movie) The video I was talking about! I loved making it!
