Hello awesome family! How are you? Thank you for the emails, it sounds like you are all very involved in good things. Last week I have thought about you a lot as my comp and I have been talking about the fun things that we do with our familys back home. The gifts from the Twelve days of Christmas have been awesome, I and my comp have been taking turns opening the gifts, thank you. Thanks Bloomington youth. I am trying to get the photos to you that I sent last week. Did you get the the ones for the brake parts? I'll try to just get them all to you. As far as I know Skype is bu xing, not allowed. Last week I asked the mission president about sending home sound bits through the email. He did not know so he said no, but if he learned other wise he would let me know; as of now I have not heard. I think that I should send home some cd's with video from my camira, I think. I don't see what would be wrong with that. As for tapes, I can do that, but I'm going to wait to see if we can send sound bites/ movies through the email.
This week has been crazy. Tomorrow I start a sisters mission!!! CRAZY.. I will have been out for 6 months and I'm only in my second tranfer on the island. I'm grateful for the time I have and hope that I can do better everyday!
Wow there is alot going on in the world. I'm sorry to hear about Johnny and Sam. It is no fun to be stuck inside while your a missionary, our time is so short. I hope that they can get back out soon.
Liesl:
can I say you go girl? I tell people about my family and how you are 16 and almost have your AA and they freak out! They love hearing stories about things like that. They love America here! Everything that they do, eat and try to do is because they think that that is how it is in Amarica and so when they hear of something diffrent they love it!!
I'm glad to hear that the Hopi thing went well. Thank you for dong so much good! You all are great examples to me.
ok.. MERRY CHRISTMAS.. I love this time of year, although, it does not really feel like Christmas here in Taiwan. I am wearing short sleeves and shorts in the mornings to go out and excercise, not because that is all that I have, but because it is not cold enough for anything else. Last week the coldest ot got was 9 degrees Cels, which is a bit cold but not freezing yet. :) Anyway so I see the Christmas trees and sing Christmas songs because I want to feel Christmas, and it only works so much... this week is going to be great as far as missionary works, this Sunday.. I get to see my FIRST BAPTISM!! yea!!! I got alot of people ready in my last area, ready to be baptized but I have not seen one yet. Toshe is a nine year old girl and she has member perents that are inactive, but want he wants his daughter to be baptized, so that is going to happen on Sunday your Saturday:). I'll let you know how that goes probably by email, but I get to talk you you before that.
As far as phone calls home go, I just bought a phone card and I get to call for about an hour. I guess that I'll call the office? or home? I'll call home, first, sorry I didn't think about this before, I'm way excited to talk to you! Love you!
Got to go LOVE YOU, TALK TO YOU SOON!
