Fwd: Happy Chrismuskah

Dear Family,
This Week hasnt been super eventful, all of our 5 progressing investigators have been sick and/or out of town. But by next week it is possible for us to have up to 10, because our teaching pool is getting big! We must be doing something right i guess. I will call on sunday at 230pm your time which is 130pm your time. I dont get skype. :( but my companion does, because hes international, from Canada. LAME! Oh well. We had a service project yesterday which is why i didnt email, so today is our pday. Im excited for the holidays, and to hear from you.

• Christmas and Hanukkah to Merge
  Continuing the current trend of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, it was announced today that Christmas and Hanukkah will merge. An industry source said that the deal had been in the works for about 1,300 years.
  While details were not available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost of having twelve days of Christmas and eight days of Hanukkah was becoming prohibitive for both sides. By combining forces, spokesman say, the world will be able to enjoy consistently high-quality service during the Fifteen Days of Chrismukah, as the new holiday is being called.

Good morning Elder Tyler!
Hope your week has gone well .  We shipped you a package to the mission home at the new address in Oxnard -- it should arrive today -- so it will be there when you show up on Thursday for your meeting. 

We did not get you sunglasses -- as we felt that would be a bit of a stretch -- if you have some in mind go price them out and let us know, Mom can send your prescription so you can have them made to order. 

We've been busy preparing for the big day, can't wait to hear your voice on Sunday.  Remember we are at church between 11am - 12:10pm MT -- which is 10am - 11:10am PT for you -- you said you had church at 9 -- so if you planned to call/skype after 11:30 or so we will be ready.   We heard that there has been some rules from SLC regarding calls home, and that Skype was authorized -- if you want to do that just let use know, we'll have it up and running at that time -- my screen name is Bret_Scott.
Your package arrived the other day --- so that is safely here.  

We started counting and it should be transfers this week? I hope you are not being transferred this time around --- Let us know how your pending baptism is panning out.  We're excited for your first mission baptism.
The weather has been cold -- we've had snow on the ground for 2 weeks --- and it is supposed to snow again today.  The mountain snow is not very good yet.... <sigh>
Austin reports that he does not like the MTC much -- doesn't care for the food, struggling with the language.  I'm sure that will go better for him as he gets more comfortable.
We love you and hope this letter finds you happy and tired -- I hope you have more work than you can handle -- since I remember those times of my mission being the best.
Love Dad.

Love, Elder Tyler Scott
