Thank you for the pictures, they look great. Now I just wish I could figure out how to put
them on my phone. I am glad you had fun
in Lava Hot Springs over Christmas. Darn
I miss Lava! For Christmas we went
around and visited tons of members and they fed us tons of food. Good stuff! I do keep a good eye on my new phone; it is
my lifeline for learning Chinese. It is
funny about Elysa’s blond moment as you were eating at the Chuck wagon in
Lava. I have actually played a lot of pool
here. The Chuck wagon has good food, oh man I want to go there when I get back.
Sounds like you were doing some good missionary work while
you were up in Lava. Members are so
vital! Without members nothing happens!!
I am not sick but my comp might have a disease growing on his foot. haha J I keep telling him he is going to die. He doesn't like it very much. This week has been a lot of visiting people and just talking with them. People don’t seem to like to talk about church things when it is Christmas. It is weird. Oh well, we still are building good friendships with them. It looks like neither Elder Mitchell nor I will be getting transferred for at least 2 weeks. They were supposed to be this week but I guess not. Next week is zone conference and we go to
We fly a ton. The mission spends so much money on that. It is crazy! Zone conferences and renewing Visas to stay out here cost so much money.
Love you guys got to go

That is awesome about Dad’s new church calling. With dad in the Sunday school, I can see mom
in young womens. What do you think?
I am glad to hear that mom is quilting and making more
quilting friends. It will be great to
get your name out there with the other quilters. That will definitely move the quilting
business forward.
We leave Wednesday for Singapore at 840 and don't get back
till Friday at 4. I haven't spent very
much time in Singapore
so I don’t know much about the Ferris wheel. It sounds like it is fun.
Things are going great this week. We have had a lot of miracles. Last night we had the best lesson ever. We went and visited sister Cai and we brought
President Chan with us. He bore such a powerful testimony and committed them
all to come to church. Even the
non-members in the family said they would come.
I am so excited. It will be so
good!!
We also got lost in Tudan last night, but a very nice man
who was Muslim helped us find our way out.
We had our first priesthood class ever yesterday. Woot woot woot!
I have had a couple headaches but it has been because of
dehydration. But I am hydrated again
with no problems.
I sent home a picture of the outside of my apartment; it is the
nicest house in the mission besides Singapore . It is called the Miri Mansion .
Our landlord is Chinese so I go practice my Chinese with him when ever he comes
over to weed or paint. The Elders that
live in Jin Hold have maids!!
Dad, don’t get jealous of my bike. It actually is a pretty old bike. The chain is rusty and some of the gears are
missing. It has been a missionary bike for a very long time. I am just grateful it works. I am planning on selling it, I can ship it
home to you if you want it dad. Or you
can buy some really nice ones here for like 1000rm which is like 333
American. I could look in to the slow
boating prices if you want??
Catch you next week
