Hey mom I sent a letter telling you about my week. It was a fun week. We got to do service for this really fun lady S. Campana who has a lovebird that is just the cutest funniest bird ever. At the end of the day, it gave me a peck on the cheek and wanted to be pet really bad. The weather here is alright and it has suddenly got colder but my cool jacket keeps me warm. Something fun that happened last week, we went to an investigator's house and we are on the porch and about to knock on the door when a girl opens it and lets out the funniest shriek that i have ever heard. It was fun. We were sad that E. Lloyd left and we got a new temporary companion named E. Smith. Hes ight and is funny. E. Lloyd was kind of bullyish, but it was all in good fun. We have a baptism set for Mrs. Nan and she will be baptised on the 7th of January. Really fun. Mom you cant get the music off my ipod because i downloaded it in a special way but my dad can from his laptop. He hasn't contacted me a whole lot which makes me a little sad. Oh well the Kynastons mailed me a fun letter about their stuff and enjoyed my cotton to them. I really miss you all and hope you have a good time without me being there this year. Here are some pictures of me and some of the places ive been. Thanks so much for sending me a package and the notes on it freaked out the postal worker. I gave a talk last Sunday on Being Holy and that Jesus set an example of being holy and i used the bible dictionary on Holiness and it was cool. I am ever so greatful for all on how much love you have and give me everyday. I will sort of ask you to please send out one of my cool hoodies and a shirt like the Red Rango navy shirt that i love. There is more leniency out here than i thought for clothing and i have a cool pair of knock off allstars for my service stuff and my other shoes are for sports. I bet you wont ever guess what is in the christmas box i sent you, but you'll love it. How is the tree decorating going along? I really need you to go on Facebook and tell Madi Hardy my address so that she can send me a letter or two on my mission and tell everyone else on facebook too. I love letters!! They fill the empty void of not having enough freedom here.
