Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving Adam and Maranda made the entire dinner! It worked out really well and we all had a blast getting together and remembering all of our many blessings. After dinner we went and saw the new release "Four Christmases" which was surprisingly good and funny! It was a wonderful Thanksgiving!

LDS Motion Picture Studio

On Sunday Adam took all of us for an in depth tour of the LDS Motion Picture Studio. It was amazing! We got to see the sets, costuming, and editing rooms along with much more. We took many pictures and we all had a blast!! Pictures will be posted soon!!

Mom & Dad & Snickies

Oh Christmas Tree

We put up our main Christmas tree upstairs and we love it! It has a wonderful whimsical theme and it brings the fun, spirit of Christmas into our home! Mom your amazing!

Weekend Fun!

This weekend our Aunt Jeaninne came out from Los Angeles to spend the weekend with us. We were so excited We went to dinner at P.F. Changs the night she arrived and it was delicious. On Sunday we relaxed at home, looked at pictures and Adam grilled up some amazing salmon for dinner. Monday was her last day here so my aunt and my parents spent the day up in Salt Lake to get some shopping done. Anyone who knows the "See's" knows that they can inflict quite some damage while shopping and that is what makes it so fun! Even though she wasn't here for long it was so wonderful to see her and spend some time with her!! We Love YOU Aunt Jeaninne!!!!

Transferred

We heard from Trevor this morning and he has been transferred. He is loving it!! It is a lot greener and he loves his new companion Elder Olar who is Philippino. Here is a quote from Trevor's latest email.

"Well I am loving the mission right now. I am now teaching half of the lessons now, it is tough, but I love it."

It was a wonderful surprise to hear from our missionary and we couldn't be more pleased at how happy he is in the work!

Finally!!

We finally heard from Elder Mauzy! We thought he had been transferred to some remote part of the Philippines where they don't have interenet so we were expecting a letter in the mail in about 2 months but we heard from him this week! He is doing great! Him and his companion have been working with a man named Izhar who was baptized last week. Trev was so excited he could baptize him before his transfer. He is being transfered this week. Elder Mauzy has grown so much and I thought I would copy a little of his letter to share with all of you!

"I am so happy to be a missionary. I know that missionary work is true. I have a strong testimony of this gospel. I know that this is the only ture church on the whole earth with all my heart. I truly know that through the restored gospel we are able to be forgiven and by living the gospel and coming unto christ we will be able to have joy in our lives that we never knew existed. I have learned from my mission that true happiness comes from serving others. By thinking of others, instead of yourself. That other people's happiness is what makes you happy. True happiness comes from loving others. I know that this is true. I am forever greatful for the savior and for this opportunity to serve him. Well I am doing just fine. I am happy. Dont worry about me. I am sad to leave my area, and my companion, but I am also excited for my new area, and new companion. I will let you know all about it. And I will take lots of pictures. I love you all so much. I think about you every day."

We miss him so much but we are so proud of him!

-Mauzy Update-

Life in the Mauzy home has been going great! Mom decorated the house so cute for Halloween and her costume was pretty much amazing! (pictures to come!). We survived the elections even though there was some debate as to who should win;). My mom wasn't rooting for Barack Obama but, after she heard his speech he kind of grew on her a little bit.

Mom has been working hard at Robert's and has created the most AMAZING Christmas trees. I will have to post pictures of those as well! She is so talented.

Dad is working hard as always at Novell. He survived another rough spot of lay offs and we are so grateful for his hard work and faithfulness!

We haven't heard from Elder Mauzy this week:( We are assuming he is going through a transfer and we're crossing our fingers that we will hear from him next week! Lets hope and pray he isn't to rural of an area where they don't have internet!! I think we would all go a little crazy!

Adam and I are both going to school and are definitely ready for a break!! Thanksgiving needs to get here soon!!:)

Well that is the little Mauzy update. I'll post some pictures soon to show you all of the festivities going on!
