A letter to my friends and family!

Well how is everyone? Thats great. Im doing swell here! This week has been pretty crazy. Me and my comp became the new zone leaders so we have a ton a responsibilities that no one else can handle. Like turning the lights off at night and such as that. You know, hard stuff. Other than that im just learning how not to say im hot and learning how to perfect my teaching skills for the chilenos!

 I'm sorry that katie is so freakin sick! its probably just like mono or something. i mean we all know she is 16 now.......................................................................................... but! i do hope you feel better:) Rainy, thank you for writing such a nice letter with the help of debbie. I bet it was an awesome experience to be in that play. I love the story of Christ's birth so much. I'm not supposed to tell my family when i go to the temple cuz we're not supposed to meet and stuff. but, i dont go wednesday through monday, and i dont go in the after noon or night! so thats ok i think? i dont know. just dont plan on seeing me;) Emily ryan and Debbie! hey little girls! are you excited to make me tons and tons of treats for Christmas all by myself!?!! Well i hope you are! Yes you guys can send treats here and stuff in the mail or through dearelder.com. They don't want you to leave anything for me at the front desk.

Chris and Dasha, how is your house looking? that is so awesome you guys moved in i want to see it freakin bad. How fat is new one? I hope all is well for you all. Thank you chris for that letter that meant a lot.

Ok so yes cash would be very nice to have because then i can buy stuff in chile that i can use because i dont have any room to pack anymore stuff really. I actually could use one SD memory card for my camara. Like a 2G one. oh and candy. I've gained 19 pounds here and my goal is 36. So keep stuff comin! The thing is i still look ridiculously chizzled so i dont know where all that weight is going.....

I hope you are all excited for Christmas. It really is my favorite time of the year. The true story of Christmas is so amazing. i would even recomend reading Christs appearance to the americas for christmas as well. 3 Nefi Capitulo 11 para uds que no sabieron. (for those that dont know) but lets get serious, Dad raised us so we better freakin know.

 Dad i will send a picture of my gloves to you as soon as i can so we can get some new ones. Just for the record, The missionary Mall has a lot of really nice employees but their merchandice isn't the best.......just fyi.

 So Benjamin the guy i talked to is getting baptised because i challenged him to! just kidding. that would be really awesome though! i need to call him tomorrow to see if the missionaries stopped by his house.
So my spanish is definately improving. I can understand anything anyone tells me as long as it is way freakin slow and has no accent whatsoever. Ok fine i can understand more than that. Except yesterday my teacher brought in one of his friends that is from Chili and they spoke Chilean spanish to eachother.....ya. I pray for the gift of tongues every prayer now. Their sentances were like one big fat lady. No pauses anywhere or nothin. but i do know a lot more spanish than my teacher did so i guess we're good. He just said to expect not to understand really much until im like 4 months into the mission. That brightened my spirit right up!

I hope you all like the cold and snow! I am freakin mad that my friends get to go boarding whenever they want. so you guys better take every chance you get this season and send me pics. But just remember that ya you guys get to board but ima missionary. Well and jake is too. so my point exactly. So Brady, tell Emily what ever her last name is from skyview that her future step brother Keenan Price is in my class. At least im pretty sure that we were talking about the same person. When we described her we both thought we were talking about her butt we counldn't remember her last name. How you guys all doing? you have the family portrate up? Chris, Ryan, Nate and all you guys still in school, sucks for you. haha im just kidding i love you guys. Me and Jake see eachother all the time in the cafeteria and eat together sometimes. Im so glad we're in here together.

Adam happy birthday last week man! sorry i missed it. im just really busy being holy and all that stuff you know....oh and momma Rena too!

i am actually pretty spiritual here so dont just think i mess around the whole time. and dont think i dont have fun either:) Alright well my time is up. Thank you all so much for everything.

 Merry Christmas to everyone!

love
