So, I am really excited about what is going on here. I have been resorting to prayer, and counsel from leaders to know what the best path to take is. We have been seeing tons of miracles too, in spite of everything, so that has been awesome. I feel that I have finally figured out what true faith is and how to REALLY use it. It is sweet.

District meeting, and I gave a really sweet training on miracles and faith. It was one of my favorite trainings that I have given on my mission I think. It was really powerful. I called it, “Faith: Go Where the Miracles Are”. It was sweet.

Miercoles: We woke up at 5:30 to get ready for zone conference. My last one. I played piano, and President came over and whispered in my ear, “Elder Carey, we are extending your call for 18 more months”. Haha. They are really stressing out that there is no one that plays piano in the mission. The conference was powerful. It was strange being the oldest there. Later Pres. used me in a training (on the fly), to come up and improvise some songs. I had to play the same song different ways, it was an analogy for teaching. After the training, the Assistants wanted to take video of me playing piano for some project that they are doing.

This week was the BEST week of my mission! Really, it was. It was the best experience of my entire life. You can’t put a price on missionary work. I am so happy, the happiest that I have ever been in my entire life.

Thursday: Thanksgiving! It was so weird, because last year’s Thanksgiving seems like it was yesterday, and there we were celebrating it again. Weird.
Saturday: Rode our bikes down to Vista Village and did some really good contacting. While we were there a lady contacted US and asked for a Book of Mormon. For some reason, the only Spanish copy that we had was mine, this copy that I have been using for months, and I had been marking a certain way. At first, I wanted to say that we would just come by her house and give her a new one, but she was leaving and getting on the train and it was pulling away, and so I just felt prompted to give it to her. It is a pretty worn copy, but hopefully she will appreciate it.
So yeah, that was my week. It all went really good, and it is really exciting! Time is FLYING BY SO FAST! I can’t believe it. Missions are way too short.
