MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY
This coming week will be Christmas and I couldn't be more excited. It's gonna be my first one away from home really and I think its gonna be an awesome experience as a missionary. Plus I love presents as always. This last week has been a really good time. It's the first week of my third transfer and we have been teaching a ton of lessons. My new companions are Elder Hogue from Canada and Elder Taylor from Saratoga Springs Utah.
They are great guys and really good elders. They are awesome at contacting and teaching and that's all we've really been doing this week. We've taught over 20 lessons easy. Some people have been more interested than others but were making progress. and who knows what'll happen, I don't know, I hope I get some baptism soon. I know it's obviously not a terrible thing if I don't, but I've been working soooooo hard. We wake up at 5:15 now for the gym and it's been hard but I think I'm getting used to it. I've been trying this transfer so far to focus on obedience because I know that through it and following the rules with exactness will bring blessings. I know I'm not perfect but that is what repentance is for.
Besides that, we haven't seen much crazy stuff. We saw a couple get in a fight and drove past a drug bust and a couple crazy wrecks. Oh and always the homeless who just kinda chill on the streets doing drugs. But that's all for now. I decorated the apartment for Christmas last night and will send some pictures because I think it's pretty cool. We hung up some lights and set up a little tree we got. I'm excited for the Christmas thing we do as a zone on Tuesday. It'll be interesting for sure. I miss you guys a ton and look forward to your contact every week. I can feel your love and I'm keeping you all in my prayers as well. Love you all and merry Christmas!!!
