Accidently only sent my letter to mom. mom probably already took care of it but if not here it is:
Mom, i think your last several letters have all been sent around 3 or 4 AM, thats crazy, tooooooo late.
Too bad about the bears, jay cutler is lame he can go now.
i am unsure why a white sheet is necesary here.
the idea of an albert/joy combo sounds pretty amazing, i can imagine what it very likely sounded like and its pretty sweet.
last night we had a really good meal appointment with roast, ham, mashed potatoes, and gravy. the gravy was really really good, i asked how it was so good and how she made it... it was from the drippings from the meat.
i remember very well chase's concussion videos, they were very funny. oddly enough that actually came up a few times this week. i talked to a few people about snowboarding and how my brother got a concussion and lost his short term memory for a little while.
i havnt the feintest idea of what either of those songs you are singing are... from looking at the second one's "lyrics" you put, i think of the harry potter theme.
questions:
Last time you thought our time would be around 4 or 5 your time. Is that still a go?
probably about 3 or 4, more closer to 4. so still a go.
Google chat?
of course, thats the best one.
How long will you get to chat, do you have a time limit?
i have heard a few random missionaries come up with some time limit of an hour but likely that is some random time created by rumor. i have heard no actual full declaration from the mission president about any limit so i dont believe there is any.
Will you get to chat at the same time your companion does?
yup, he actually wanted to use their tablet to use facetime, and they have plenty of computers and technology.
Anything else about the chat we should pre-discuss?
ummmmm nope i dont think so, i'm just proud of myself for giving a specific time instead of just after dinner. my goal is accomplished.
How about your Christmas packages....did you get 2 of them? (Sadly, I have never sent anything else...)
i did! i opened up the envelope with the sweet singing tie, i have decided to wear that one every day until christmas because it is so sweet. the only problem is that its so thin i have to tie it around like crazy to make the knot an acceptable tie, so it always ends up super short. there is nothing a sweater cant fix.
Did you have your Christmas Conference? How was it? What happened during the "receive your Christmas package" time?
yes, it was very good. something big that has changed since president clayton got here is that now we teach the lessons from the pamphlets, so most of the main instruction part was more how to break down the pamphlets, decide which pictures to point out, which text boxes to have them read, all that good stuff. but once the christmas conference part started, president and sister clayton put on bright green and red jackets and santa hats and they told us about their tradition to have their family sing the 12 days of christmas and have an action with it. they told us we would do it, so they broke us up in to 12 groups to sing each of our parts. it ended up very good and funny. then a couple random devotional things. all good and fun. during my "receive christmas package time" nothing really happened. we just picked up our stuff and went home. i did not get a box there because mine was sent directly to my home. which was good because i didnt have to take mine home, it was already there waiting at my doorstep. i am proud of myself that is not open yet.
What happened during your Christmas sacrament meeting?
lots of songs! many by choir, like 3 trios, 3 by congregation, then at the end like a 10 minute spiritual thought by bishop. all was good. not the most musically talented ward i've been in, but good enough.
any investigators come to church on Sunday?
1 unbaptized child of record 9 year old, so kind of but he's there every sunday. hopefully he will be baptized within the next couple weeks, its just hard to meet with him because him and his mom are super busy all the time. we did also have like 4 less actives come to church though, 1 hadnt been to church for a couple years, super awesome he and his wife came.
How is your weather?
not too bad its been around -2 (from now on i'm only gonna say temperatures in celsuis for simplicity's sake, you can convert that yourself) this week pretty good. last week it heated up like crazy until like 5 degrees and melted all the snow, and hasnt snowed since. apparently it is supposed to snow a bunch on christmas eve though, so this will be my first white christmas likely. that is all good "the cold never bothered me anyway"
What are your plans for today?
ummmm not much spectacular. we are gonna help bishop with some yard work, dinner appointment today with an older lady who is a little crazy but she is awesome. yesterday she told us santa left a couple gifts for us and she gave them to us. it was cologne, very nice she gave it to us, it smelled kinda like old man cologne though. the thought is greatly appreciated, i will wear it tonight for her.
What are your plans for Thursday, (Christmas)?
we are having "brunch" with a family, then at another (less active) family's for a while. pretty much any empety space to be filled in with caroling to random members.
alright thats it until thursday,
I love you!
Quinn
