Funny, but I think all of the missionaries in the zone get fed except for us, our area is pretty sparce for members.  But this past Sunday a member brought an Apple Cake to church because, she told her son, the Lord told her to.  She ended up giving the Apple Cake to us as we were very hungry, and it was a good little sign to let us know that the Lord really cares about his missionaries.  I'm sure we will eat very well for Thanksgiving.

This week was wonderful!  We had Elder Foster, a member of the Quorom of Seventy come down and speak to us, along with his wife and President Maluenda and his wife.  Their words were just what a lot of us missionaries needed.  I know that prayers work.  This week I went on an exchange with a sister who has terrible back pain and has gone to the doctors, and they aren't helping her. In one of the many companionship prayers we had, I prayed for her back.  She told me that after that prayer, that her pain went away. I think about all of the prayers made for missionaries in the temples every hour and so many from home and from members, and I want to tell you thank you.  We surely need them. I can feel the angels around us that are bearing us up, and I know that one of Satan's targets is the missionaries because of the important message we carry. Satan tries to make us feel like we aren't doing a good job, that are efforts aren't worth anything, and that we are only making mistakes.  I feel the prayers that are sent for me and for the other missionaries here, and they are a huge support. 

     This week we got to help some sisters out with weekly planning and it was so fun! I feel like we really were a blessing for them.  

    Sad news: Amber and her family called us and told us not to come by. We still pray for them. 

     Omar is a college student who came to church. We are teaching him, and he is doing really well right now. 

    Robert Lopez, our recent convert is having a tough time because his family isn't supporting him and giving him anti-mormon information, so keep him in your prayers.  A wonderful Christmas gift would be to give him a quad or a doctrine and covenants. Let me know if that is something you would like to do. 

Love,

Sister Campbell
