Well, had a pretty good week! Hope everyone had a great week!! I enjoyed talking to all of you!! And thank you everyone for all the gifts!

And I like all the ties from everyone. I’ve worn most of them this week. Thanks for the refresh on socks and candy. Everything I got was perfect. ;)

Ok so here is a brief overview of what we did last week. Monday (Christmas Eve) we did usual P Day Stuff, and went shopping to get some food for our Christmas breakfast. That night we went over to the Coriano's family for a Christmas Eve dinner. The food was really good, she's Puerto Rican so I loved the food. Anything Mexican I like. After that we had another dinner appointment with Mom's family. Christmas Morning, I woke up and got ready. Then I opened all my packages, and then studied a little bit. Then the other Elders came over and we cooked breakfast. We had French toast, bacon, hash browns and Orange Juice. Then Elder Taylor and Elder Rabe called their families from our apartment. So me and Elder Turpin just chilled. After that we went to Nick Andro's house for lunch and stayed there a couple hours. Then came back to the apartment, and called you guys. That was fun. Then after that we went over to Ruby's house for dinner, then went over to the other Elder's apartment and hang out and played some card games. Wednesday - Mostly just stop by's in the morning, it wasn't a very eventful day, our 3 appointments that night all cancelled ;(  Thursday - had District Meeting, and weekly planning. We had appointments with Vernice - investigator and Rick - Recent Convert. We’re going to start going to Rick’s house every week to read with him. He had a stroke this year, so his speech is a little messed up, so were going over to help him read and understand what he's reading. Friday - We saw Nick Andro, we were supposed to teach Cinquetta but she had to cancel because she is still out of town. But we found 4 new investigators that night! They were all old former investigators that we stopped by and they all accepted for us to come over again. So that was awesome! Saturday - It snowed!! Only like 1.5 inches. But everything was all white. Haven’t seen snow like that for a while!! Because it was a mild winter last year. We had a good lesson with a new investigator named Nikki, we got a member to come with us and taught the Restoration and she accepted a baptism date. Sunday - had church. No investigators came :( And church was really empty because everyone is gone for the holidays. After church we had an appointment with Nicole one of our new/former investigators that we found. She is really cool, and likes the missionaries! She's having us over for dinner next week. So that was pretty much our week! Today were not doing much, have a dinner appointment then were hanging out with the other missionaries since we’re not supposed to be out. Tomorrow is a normal day for us though. It’s really cold here!!

Well, have a great week!! I'll talk to ya next year!! ;) ha
