Oi familia!
Boy it was great to get letters from you all this week! Thank you so much Lynsey for your awesome letter and tons of photos! You gave ME a present for your birthday! Mom and Dad, loved the letter, which was, if not schizophrenic, then oddly sweet. Like a handful of jellybeans of different flavors stuffed into the mouth at the same time. :) Hehe, I really liked it.
I also got some letters from outside the main family! Lacey and Seth sent an awesome Christmas card all the way here, and so did Bishop Fox and Brother Wilde and probably the presidency of the ward, but their signatures were a bit scattered. I still felt the love! Thanks guys!
My week was a bit like Brendon’s: a bunch of slacking off during the end of the year (but probably well intended, because the city was crazy), and a bit hard to pick up the momentum again because it’s raining a lot here too!
I know whatch’yer feelin like Brendon! Despite the rain, we have been having some modest success! Our goal for the month of January is to reach 6 baptisms, which here is pretty ambitious, but it’s more than possible if we really try! I am very glad to be finally pushing myself here! Anyway, I think because we decided to reach for the stars, Heavenly Father has been giving us some help. Juliana and Jonas, a young couple with Victor, their one year old child, had been receiving lessons for the last month, and have been more or less enthused about the gospel, but they just suddenly realized that they wanted the gospel in their life, and accepted the goal to be baptized on the 16th! Yeah! Another investigator, Jocemara, a 22-year-old mother of 2, also started to be more enthused about the gospel, and the work is going with her as well, and it looks like she will be baptized on the same day. Awesome!
Sorry for this, but there’s a storm outside and the power and internet just came back on a couple seconds ago, and my P-day is done…
Hope the day to day is going well and continues to do so!
Dad! I love you! Good luck on your meeting!
Mom! I love you! The holidays sounded so awesome, now you have some time to relax, huh? What’s the next big thing?
Lyns, I am so jealous of your awesome birthday. Wish I could be doing my mission and chilling out at home at the same time. I wouldn’t trade the time, but I wish I could have those experiences with you. Love ya Lyns. Happy Birthday!
Kaitlin! Back to school too huh? This year is going to be the best one for you! I hope you had fun in San Francisco and with Annie and all the cousins! Work hard in school and don’t forget to keep working on the Japanese okay? Have fun and love every day! I love you so much Kate!
Grama, I love you! I am very healthy here, especially because of your vitamins! Take care of my family and yourself!
Everyone else, until next week! Love love love!
