December 30

 And so this is Christmas.. And what have we done?

Well I’ll tell you. I've done quite a bit. We are working very diligently everyday sometimes without success but we don't let it get us down! All you need is a quick boost ya up with the family to keep you going.

Gosh. I don't feel like I got to tell you anything that I had planned... really anything. How does that even happen? You just forget everything so fast! But I learned a lot about myself from talking with you all so it was good. Probably should have been the opposite but hey I’m far from perfect.

I all of a sudden can't live without music again Tate! Thanks for that! And it looks like I finally got the details from the trip you went on. That will be fun to read.

Sounds like your Christmas was awesome! I'm glad to hear it. I must say I loved my Christmas over her basking in the sunlight, playing volleyball, eating lamb, listing to the guitar by the fire... a lot of things that just don't sound very missionary like so I don't know why I’m telling you. But I enjoyed it.
For New Year’s eve we are going to have our p-day (today we are just writing and then we will go out and work!) and tomorrow we have permission to have one (cena) with someone just like on Christmas eve and we get to stay out until 10:30.

This week we are focusing on finding new people to teach and prepare for baptism in Enero! So next week I’ll be telling a bunch of great new people with dates to be baptized!

Thanks for all you do and who you are! Love you!
