We took our departing missionaries to the Portland temple. The weatherman had predicted rain, and we really hoped that it wouldn't. Because of our lack of faith we stood under the portico, it didn't start raining until we were about half way back to Eugene.

"Oh we of little faith"!

 For Thanksgiving we had the 3 companionships here in Eugene from the YSA ward come to the mission home to eat. Because they are in a student ward they usually don't get invited to dinner for holidays because their ward members all go home to their families.
We had two of the office couples; Elder and Sister Phipps and Elder and Sister Christensen. The three companionships, two investigators, and 1 recent convert,
