Merry Christmas (almost),
I did recieve all 3 packages!! i feel bad, because the only other christmas package that was recieved in the apartment was to Elder Fletcher, and it was from you! he is greatful, and was very happy to recieve it. It seems like every year Christmas comes faster and faster, and there is less and less time to prepare. I would alwasy note that in my head, because i remember being very young and thinking that we were preparing for christmas for like 2 months, and now its like a few days haha. btw, you should play the Nativity movie with Amy Grants "Breathe of Heaven" song... it fits perfectly, its cool.
I think its funny that your trainer's name is Troy. Thats kinda cliche, dont you think? ask him whats the best way to improve someones pull-ups, and which muscles should be used. btw, i can now do over 100 push-ups in under 2 minutes without stopping.
Clayton, one of my faithful letter writers!! I miss my bro so much!!! Hes excited to be comming back to Cali after his semester. Hes either going to Pepperdine or NY. I think Pepperdine would be good for what he wants to do, but so is NY. Hahaha, im sure he just went straight to the fridge... good ol times, love the fridge raiding experience. i wonder if he will be able to come over on x-mas to talk at all.
How did Dad do on the x-mas letter? I got a christmas lette from Elder and Sister Arnell, and i was so shocked to see how much has happened since ive been gone, and how much i just didnt know about!! i cant believe Dave comes home soon! thats so intense!!
Real tree? no...or not yet. Thats Elder Boyd's assignement (i dont want to know how he will get it). Where for x-mas day? Well, we are having a Brunch (yes, brunch... or as Cory would say, a kinda Box Social) at the chapel with the entire zone. Elder Fletcher and I will be setting up the Bay Window Room as a family room, and we will sing Carols, and eat Bannana Pancakes with strawberry sauce, eggs, and sausage. As well as have a yankee swap (a.k.a white elephant) gift exchange. It shall be glorious. After that, we will probably jsut come home and call home. Not sure what time ill be calling, we will plan it as we get closer to the day. Christmas Eve? maybe the Bishops house? im not sure yet. Most everybody is going home.
We did have a party last night for a girl in the ward who has given out 1638 Books of Mormons in the 6 years she has been a member! that was cool. She is awesome. And we had a sweet lesson with Moniz, where the spirit was sooo strong as we read from Moroni 7 about Faith Hope and Charity. Something ALL people need to know about (especially at this time of year). We commited him to baptism, but he is going to pray about it first, which is what we want him to do. Probably new years at the apartment eating home made hot wings (Elder Boyd has been craving and raving about them).
Im talking to the MP this week. Dad gave me some good advice that has been a great help. Although i still hope there is a x-fer happening on the 4th.
Well, TALK to you next week!!!!
love ya!
