Good morning!

How are you? How was your week? How have things been going for you and your companion as you work there and find the new ami's who are looking for the Gospel?

Things here this week have been just a little out of whack. :) With flying home in the middle of the week the two days of school felt weird and just off. But we survived and the weekend was here before we all knew it and it was good.

We hosted the first of 3 Christmas dinners last night that we have invited people to. The guests last night were the Strouds, Imlays, Larsen's, White's, and Katherine Chelius. We did a ham and chessy potatoes with green salad and a roll. We played some Christmas pictionary and Telestrations and had a good time. Wednesday we will have the Millers, Maws, Teerlinks, and Tanners followed on Thursday by the Vickers, Thornells, Girsbergers, and Alsups. It's a lot but I think people enjoy being here and it is a good thing to try and be neighborly and friendly too.

This next week is full and is going to go by so fast. I have a nail appt Monday and a nail class. We have an annual houseboat meeting we have to join as well. Tuesday the dog has a haircut and B gets to do the dentist. Tyler will do young mens and I have a nail appointment that night as well. Wednesday and Thursday are dinner nights. Friday I am going to cookie Natalie's with Kim White, Katherine Chelius, and Katie Fisher. Saturday I am taking Brooklyn and two of her friends to the Gem Studio to make some rings and then it is back to Sunday again. Sunday is going to be dinner and gingerbread houses with Kaitlyn and Eric coming up too. I am telling you, it is going to be a fun full week!

I am already looking forward to the nap I am going to take today after church too. I was so tired yesterday and with all the prep to have dinner guests the nap I was hoping for never happened. Today I am going to  make up for it for sure! HA!!

Interviews are this week. What are your thoughts going into those? What are you feeling? What kind of impressions are you getting to talk to President Proudfoot about? Do you have any ami's you are hoping for some sort of direction or guidance on? How are things coming with the new branch and its members? How often do you get to work with them in locating and teaching new ami's? You live in such an area I could never imagine with the church being so new. We sure take for granted around here the easy of being a member you know?

Anyways, I guess I better get moving and get myself together for church so that when the other two start moving I am ahead of them both. :) I sure love you and hope you had a great week. Enjoy the warm for me as we get ready to have more snow fall this week.

I love you.
