Hi there!

It was so fun to talk to all of you on Christmas. I enjoyed it. Thanks for your words!

This week has been kinda crazy. Elder J. and I pretty much saved the church from burning down. Someone left the oven on "self clean" and it was super hot and there was smoke everywhere in the kitchen and it was spilling out to the halls. I went in and saw the oven so I quickly shut it off and he opened the doors. It was pretty intense. I am glad that we ended up going to the KW building instead of the other building!

We were tracting on Christmas Eve before it got dark and we met a man who instantly asked where the church was and what time and such. He's been searching for a church and seemed really excited about ours. He told us one of the issues was that his wife doesn't speak English. I erased the map to our building and drew a map to the A. building. He was really cool so I'll have to keep up on that story! The sun was shining earlier, then after our dinner it started downpouring rain. It caused our plans of carolling to be canceled so we went to the KW1 Elder's dinner appointment and spent the rest of Christmas Eve with that family.

After talking to ya'll we went to a member's home and we went to see the lights with them and Pres and Sis. M. It was pretty fun. It seemed kind of random, but it was fun.

We went and played frisbee golf at a course in the woods here. It was pretty fun. I'm not that great at it, but I had fun. In Utah, they have the courses on open fields generally. Ours had so many trees it was crazy! You'd throw it, it would hit a tree....but it was so funny. I loved it. Luckily the sun is shining or it would be cold.

I don't know how you all do that whole marriage thing. I feel ready for a companion change after a few months....We find out this Saturday what is going to happen for the next six weeks. I'll keep you posted....as in let you know next week where I am and where everyone is.....haha....

I didn't bring my camera cord so I can't send any pictures...sorry about that....

I love you all though! have a great week!
