Dear Family,

Hey hey hey, Things are going well here. We had a good week, a rough one but a good one. We had very many investigators at a christmas dinner. I tell you I have never worked so hard to get an investigator to an activity, than when we took the bus for 20 minutes and walked for 3 kliks to get to one investigators place, so we could ride the bus back with him and show him how to get to church. This is such a big culture shock for him, coming from Namibia. He was excited to tell us about when he takes showers in the morning. When he saw the turkey dinner, his eyes were huge! At our table we had two from Namibia, one from Mozambique, Angolla, and Germany. It was an interesting dinner. And then I tried to pour pepper on my meal and the lid came off. poured the entire bottle of pepper onto my plate. Man. It was not good.

Our Korean family is good, they didn't make it to church unfortunately. We'll have to talk to them a little more. It has been beautiful weather here! Still 4 degrees! No snow. Santa is real!

The work is going really well, we spent the entire last week on splits, it was crazy. Nothing helps the week pass by than having a different companion in a different area every day! We had a District Leader training seminar on Thursday, President Cannon drove down with the assistants and together we trained the district leaders. Elder Leavitt and I had to give a training on splits and Adjusting goals. Wasn't too bad. President also brought down packages, that was nice! I must admit, I already opened the package, it was wonderful! I loved the ricebag. The candy was delicious as well, thank you so much!!! I haven't dove in too deep into the package yet...


Well I have to get going, have a good week!

Peace,
