Brazillians have Thanksgiving

Hello Family and Happy Thanksgiving! Well this week was a little crazy! So last week i mentioned that my companion was sick, well we went to the specialist here in Ubon, but they were no help, so we were instructed to go down to Bangkok to go see the Drs there. So we left for Bangkok wednesday night and then went to the Dr. Thursday morning, and then we had to go pick up the new missionaries that just arrived! So we did all that and then we ended up going to Thanksgiving dinner with some other sisters that serve in the International Branch in Bangkok. It was so fun! We went to this members house who was Brazillian! and she had a few of her friends over that were Brazillian as well, and they weren't members! So it was a great teaching opportunity as well! We were laughing about the irony of it all afterwards though, b/c we were the only americans, and yet they still prepared us a traditional american thanksgiving, turkey and all! And they even through in some amazing Brazillian food too! It was so fun! they were all just so loving and great! I feel like I am already best friends with them! haha After the dinner, we ended up staying the night in Bangkok, b/c we needed to go to the Dr. again on Friday, so we stayed with my old companion from the MTC! S. Church! It was so fun to just catch up with them! Then we were running around all afternoon going to the office, picking up some things from there and then we had to go back to the Hospital! We almost missed our appointment thanks to crazy Bangkok traffic! But we just barely made it so that was good! Then we were off to the train station to head back to Ubon! It was an adventure! When we got there they said that there were no more beds on the train only seats, and that would have been miserable so we were about to go to the bus station instead, but one lady helped us and then we found out there were 2 beds left in "first class" So we were like SWEET! and we bought them, come to find out when we get on the train, the 2 tickets werent next to us, and we were in completely separate rooms! Which those of you who have served a mission know that that is against the rules! So we were freaking out, it was already about 8:00 at night and we just wanted to get back and didn't know what to do, but thankfully we were able to explain the situation with the people that were in the 2 rooms and they said they would be willing to switch so that we could be in the same room! Whew! That was a miracle for sure! So anyways we got back to Ubon finally and then we got another surprise! So we now have 4 sisters here and so the other 2 were suppose to open up a new area, but the district and zone leaders decided to throw us a curve ball and now me and S. Skalla will be opening the new area and the other 2 will be taking the area that I have been serving in the past 2 months, so it's going to be a little weird! I was not expecting that at all, but oh well! Here goes! I am a little sad/disappointed b/c that means that I will no longer be able to teach my investigators that I have been working with, but if this is what the Lord wants me to do, then that's what I will do! Anyways that's about it for the week, very weird but it was fun! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving in Florida! Love you! Love, S. Itri PS. Today in my personal study i read in 1 Corinthians 13, now one of my new favorite chapters, so you should all read it :)
