Hey family. Dont have a lot of time so i will make it short.

This week was fast with all the holiday stuff going down. Got a new investigator finally! he randomly showed up to church and we taught him the POS. It was great, hopefully we can teach him later this week. Other than that things are going good! Working hard and trying ti stay on top of things. Gtg

Dear Family,

Well this was a busy week. Tuesday we worked on that service project again. We dropped them because they still haven't come to church, and are ditching rides... :( so that's that, but we are trying to find more people all the time. Wednesday we had zone conference, and it was the only one i have been in that has been so short and actually ended on time. It was great! I hate sitting there for so long. President ended early because some of the missionaries needed to travel, and there was a storm coming. That night we biked in like a freezing tsunami rain... IT SUCKED! but extra blessings. Then on Thursday i had a really good exchange with my zone leader good old Elder Gigena, he came out with me. We did YSA work and found 3 new investigators and taught with serious power and authority all day declaring in the ghetto. We taught a gangster the restoration and he defended us calling us his Mormon hommees! haha that was cool. Gave out 4 Boms and committed 2 people to baptism. Then we had a meeting with the stake, so i got to play zone leader haha what a joke. Pretty stellar day though and it has renewed my commitment to serve.  Then on Friday we taught Lyndell about authority and FINALLY committed her to pray with us and develop her relationship with our heavenly father, maybe now she will progress!  Yay! bore powerful testimony of My own conversion and cold feet at the beginning of my mission.  That night we had the ward Christmas party and it was great. good turnout. Even Brother Laffoon a less active came! YES! We apparently have dinner with them this coming Saturday, on a side note they haven't fed missionaries for a LONG TIME!  Saturday we were coming home at the end of the night and we saw this lady passed out on the side walk. so we had the member driving turn around and went back to See if she was OK. She had an evil overprotective dog that tryed to kill us!  but she was unresponsive. So we called an ambulance and she was totally hammered as she was talking to us. Saved her life that night, it was like 40 degrees outside...

Pretty intense week. Sunglasses are fine, I dont know if i would want to get them at walmart though.... I dont know when we are calling... its gonna be a chaotic day, just be ready. Ive got something in mind for that white elephant, muhahaha

Dear Family,

This week has been a tiring one. We did service literally all week. Tuesday through Friday, we volunteered to help a less active member remove popcorn, sand, plaster, and prime a house that she has been working on. BIG PROJECT were hoping that we can teach the people we were doing it for, were known in the neighborhood as the 'Good guys' now and there are many who could use are help.  We did this hoping that she would come to church and make that a priority. Hopefully she will come back, shes only been a member for a few years, with a rockin testimony, she just gets super busy i guess on Sundays  Her husband has to work 2 jobs.

Friday we tried to cram in a lot of visiting, and got a short lesson in with our only investigator, Lyndell, about the necessity of prayer, We convinced her to let us help her with setting up for Christmas  (she has a lot of health problems, tendinitis in her hands and stuff, she is in her 70s) after which she gave us like a hundred ties she had been collecting over the years! It was like Christmas morning jackpot! we were like little boys going through therm! She is awesome, i love her a lot, She doesn't act her age, more like she is in her 40s haha, she is like a best friend/Grandma figure to us, at least in her eyes. Were hoping she can get better and keep progressing, She just needs to pray! 

Saturday we had a service project with the Ward for the Christmas party this coming week, we went around delivering cookies and planted flowers in a part-members yard (the Hankins Family) without them knowing! also raked up there leaves and cleaned the yard up for a nice surprise. (On a side note: while we were doing that we witnessed a TON of cops in armor, pack-in',  swarm this house down the street, we heard lots of yelling and stuff. Probably was a Drug bust. Haha.) Then that afternoon we spent moving a member with our very small elders quorum. By the end of that we were spent, and it was already 5pm.

LONG WEEK

Studying in the BoM just got to the part where Amalikiah is chased out of Zarahemla, it is interesting to compare the differences of leadership traits between him and Moroni. He is kind of a tool.

Anyway, Love you all, [], Cant wait to talk to you all at christmas!

Hey Family,

Nothing going on still. :( Having a hard time finding people to teach. I am in the war chapters, and just started reading about Moroni.

I dont know what i want for christmas, i dont really need anything,

Meds, no i havent got them i have been out since tuesday...  I tried to get a ten day supply from a cvs around here, but they dont have any. Except for the one out of my zone... Yay. but i am trying to be patient in my afflictions as Alma.  

Didnt get a chance to watch the christmas Devo... We had dinner at that time. :(

Apartment is nice and large, 2bed 2 bath, with a waaher and dyer, SUPER GRATEFUL for that.

Everything else seems to be just fine,  I am continuing to be obedient to the best of my ability. Just trudging along.

Holy cow thats a lot of changes. im blown away

Anyway i cant really think of anything to say... Sorry,
