Hey Family!

This Week, Was fun, not a whole lot of Missionary work unfortunately during the holidays. Thanksgiving was the bomb, i weighed about 230 at the end of the night. We have helped 3 members now set up their Christmas lights and one family in particular, the Durrants, are like home away from home, we freaking love them! They had me be their photographer for their family photos so I took a whole bunch of pictures for them. Then, after we finished the lights and stuff, i had them download Gimp (free photoshop) and i worked on their picture sprucing it up. (they were complaining about a little weight gain, so i took some off ;] )  Just basics though, i have kinda forgot how to use it... So yeah did a lot of service and taught 2 less actives this week about missionary work. Were basically gonna drop some people and try to restart the pool ya know? we have really only one real investigator and shes a little flaky. I am really hoping we can help one of the family's who we did lights for, the father has been less active for a long time, And his family wants him to come to church so bad, i am trying to befriend him so he is a little less stiff around us, So far so good. Even if he doesn't make it back, i still think being his friend and establishing good footing with the missionaries will be good for him in the long run. 

We survived transfers and were sticking together for another, good thing to because my medication should be here tommorow, phew. Gonna keep working hard and try and get some stuff going in this area.

Go Grandma! Good to hear ill write soon, gotta make my christmas cards here soon.

Hey Family,
This week was not much new. we just cant seem to get any new investigators. But were trying. Still trying to contact the few potentials. Did service. Its gonna be a good week thought we have dinner with the tydyrsveskis. Say that five times fast, on thanksgiving. they are way cool. Young couple with a year old daughter. Sister t is an amazing cook. Also got service helping people with Christmas lights. As far as things are going for me all is good. I love the people in this area, i seem to make friends everywhere. Crapo and i are still doing well. Were getting old in the mission. I just finished Alma 26 yesterday.
About the election. We have heard scary stuff. a little concerning but i am trying to put it out of my mind. Hope i can find a job when i get home. Whats all the stuff about secession? No More Twinkies! NOOOOOOO haha. Boundaries of silver creek, Old river to Ashe. And White Lane to Panama. We live off Gosford and White Lane. Suggestions about Self reliance. try to not bum off the government. Idk Food storage. Dont spend more than you have.

Dear Family,

Another Week, that was fast. This week we had exchanges, Went on a hike up in frazier park. which was fun i will send pictures home soon. 

Teaching wise, nada. Were really looking and we have been teaching some Less actives and part member families. that's about it.  um. We have done tracting and service. Trying to stay busy, pray that we will find somebody. We got some investigators handed over to us from YSA this week and we are going to try and start teaching them this week. So that's exciting. Its getting kinda cold here humidity sucks. especially on a bike. Shopping and eating, all we got is a Walmart. Lame. but oh well better than nothing, i guess. How bout that election... Bummer. Hopefully i can find a job when i get home... :-/ 

Christmas, i don't know. I'm gonna need new threads when i get home, but as for now.... idk I want snow for Christmas, but i cant control that, at least with the faith i have now, maybe someday. ;-)
Thats about it... Sorry I don't have a whole lot to say.

Dear Family,

Pretty Boring week. Elder Crapo got real sick and so most of it was spent in the apartment. So not a whole lot for my birthday went on. But the missionaries in my district made it special. Thanks for the package. I am working on sorting out all the pictures and stuff having a member convert all my videos to AVI format. Halloween was pretty fun.  Friday we had interviews. It was good, not much news. Pres Castro seems to have some anxiety about the new influx of missionaries here soon, But he thinks that our mission is ready. Theres gonna be a lot of trainers i bet. Big responsibility.

So i sent a package home to you guys, should get it on Thursday. Happy Birthday Mom i love you!

We are up in Frazier Park today gonna have a pretty fun Pday. It kinda reminds me of Evergreen, CO. Just a lot less.. green. haha. We are going on a hike today so i will make sure to take pictures.  

Just keeping on, im in Alma again with my studies, The Book of Mormon is awesome, As you know. just the war chapters themselves would make a pretty sick video game or something. haha. I sent home that mission library. Jesus the Christ - too hard. And all the others i havent even used, aside from true to the faith, which i have cracked open once. Also sent home that trench coat. Havent needed it so far, probably wont. Sorry Dad. 

I cant believe it is the Holidays already... Woah.  Pretty soon it will be the end of the year. double woah. Its going by so fast. Both Crapo and I are the old farts in our district. and were always tired it seems.  We have exchanges this week which should be pretty fun. Looking forward to that. (for once) Just working hard and trying to find someone to teach. We have this potential family, which would be SO AWESOME if we can help them get baptized. But we will see. 

Love you all bummed i missed Halloween again, i wish i could have been there. But i have more important priorities and responsibilities right now, so yah know, i couldnt.
