SNOW

Dear Mom, (and others) 

So, with Christmas coming up we are allowed only these to options to call home, we either can call for 1hr -or- we can call for 30min. and skype for 30min. I will be doing the 2nd option and will call first so that way we can get ere'thing set up for skype and what not. I will need you to send me my boots, We now have a half a foot of snow on the ground and it is hard to walk in thigh deep snow with dress shoes, dress socks, wool socks, thermals, and slacks on and not be wet and cold :) haha I learned that the hard way yesterday walking around looking at this guys buffalo he has in his backyard haha it was pretty cool. I will send you all next week pictures because I forgot to bring my camera cord with me this week -.o my bad haha Also!  Not much else has happened this week.... hope you all are staying warm and have an awesome time living up to the spirit of chirstmas remembering the saviors birth.

MY AMIGOS!

Dear My Awesome Marshmellow Peeps!

SO I first want to start off this letter, to Bro, Kris Olson, and say, " I have not lost my man card! I really don't even remember what you were talking about for me to get rid of it cause I am so manly and you freaking know it! haha and I am glad that you got Urckle in your possesion now, he is safe haha"

Now on to the rest of you! muahahaha! so, This past week we had an awesome time walking places, and setting up for christmas! Yup that is right, my companion and I both got packages from our parents and close friends that sent us things for christmas! So, Since we have no christmas tree in our apartment (because it's so new no one has been in there for christmas yet) I drew a christmas tree on one of our mirrors with Dry erase and wet erase markers so that we had a christmas tree to put our presents under and to put my stoking next to :) (yes I did take a picture of it and will be sending it with this email haha) My companion Elder Cosman, got a package with christmas lights and orimants that his mom sent him for our christmas tree that we really don't have..haha so we hung the lights over our front window for ere'one to see and we haven't figured out yet how we are going to hang the ornimants on our mirror tree quite yet...haha 

So I also was able to buy the Les Mis Soundtrack this last week! :D It is freaking awesome...I am so glad that we are allowed to listen to most of it haha I also got a Yoda pen from my cousin who is serving in north Carolina, The other picture is of our investigators we are teaching who will be baptised soon, and their dogs sitting not only on the couch with them, but sitting on one another as well... haha I thought it was pretty funny. 

I hope you all are doing well and are staying warm! (depending on where you are I guess) Talk to you all next week!
Love Yas!

Time is Freakin' Short

Dear ere'one!

SO as you saw....I forgot AGAIN last week and my reason would be that I got done with all my emails and what not and it didn't even cross my mind... -.- I need a new brain or something haha

This week has been a good week. We had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner that was provided by a member and her husband and all the food was made from scratch! (except the turkey haha) and there was PLENTY of it haha they didn't have all the people they wanted to show up so we were blessed and was given a ton of food to take home and we have been in heaven! haha Other than that it has been pretty dang cold outside here recently, we have had some freezing rain, snow, snow flurries, and plenty of below freezing temperatures. haha But we are doing our best to stay warm! Our apartment stays pretty warm, but we now have to walk ere'where because we were cut on miles for this month so we kinda have no choice. So a lot of walking, warm hearts, cold face, fingers, and toes, but lifted spirits knowing that we are blessed to be out here doing the Lords work and helping others come closer to him.

Since my companion is our new district leader, I am pretty stoked for all the exchanges I get to be on this transfer! (which is only like 2 haha) and our first one starts tomorrow (tuesday the 3rd) with the Zone Leaders! That will be a blast!

I do have some pictures for all of you, there are a couple that are recent and some that I got from a member back in october when I first got to the area and got help out with the Halloween party! Oh yeah, I forgot, there is a picture of my companion in a home made neck brace, he pinched a nerve on wednesday so we had to make a brace since no one around here sells the one that he needs. but he is all good now so there is nothing to worry about!  I hope you are all good and staying warm! (depending on where you are at) 

Love yas!
