This week was cold. 

I do not like the cold. It gave me a chance to rock my awesome scarf, but I would much rather it be warm out. Besides that, it was just another good week!

Elder Hansen is talking more and more in our lessons, and it's great. He's coming along swimmingly and will be an awesome missionary here shortly. 

This week we tried to focus on finding some new people. We've got a couple of return appointments today, so I'll have to let you guys know how that goes! Being out in 30-40 degree weather knocking on doors really seems to make people listen more. Gotta love the sympathy card. 

Dawn is doing great, and came to church for the third time yesterday. We'll be setting a baptismal date with her this week! She is doing so great, and the ward is doing such a good job of being her friend. It is so much fun to see how she's changed, and how she changes every day. This week we had a big dinner party over at a part-member family's home in another ward. Dawn and her grandson came, and Dawn did such a good job. We invited her hoping that going and seeing other people that are learning about the church would help her to feel more comfortable, and it turned out that she actually bore her testimony about different things, and really helped us teach our lesson! It was awesome. We are so impressed with her. 

On Saturday, they lit up all the lights on the square! I didn't really like that they are doing Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving, but I guess it's close enough. All well. It was a lot of fun to be there, and we got to see a few people. The square looks awesome, I'll have to send a picture to you guys in the next week or so. 

Bentonville continues to be awesome. I love it here. The people are great, and it's just a wonderful little Oasis of awesomeness here in the South. 

I love you guys and miss you a ton. Keep being awesome and have a good thanksgiving! 

Love, 

Elder Christopher Drake
