Yeah, remember last winter when it was a crazy blizzard on
the first of December? NO! I'VE NEVER LIVED IN SNOW AND WE'VE GOTTEN FOUR
INCHES IN THREE HOURS! So yeah, it is a new experience for me. And surprisingly
I am totally okay with it. The trick with cold weather is layers. I wear like
five. Gloves, they're good too. Elder Hollingsworth is part penguin and he
loves the snow. He has already thrown five snowballs at me today. I think it
may be a long, cold winter. But on the bright side, Winter is beautiful. Frozen
Asia is pretty! It kind of reminds me of Frozen but with more public
transportation.
This week should be fabulous. We have mission tour on
Thursday with a member from the area presidency. It should be great! I have
been reading up on all the missionaries from the Book of Mormon and have been
as thorough as I could have been but am getting a little nervous. I have tour
in three days and am on Alma the younger. There will be some frantic writing
going down in personal study, let me tell you. And let me tell you that I love
you! I was very thankful for all of my family and friends this thanksgiving! I
had a great time doing missionary work and even enjoyed a great chicken burrito
for dinner from Costco. I ate it with pot stickers. Classic pictures to follow.
And Happy Christmas.

There is very limited time but I wanted all of you if you
can to go and read Alma 27. Here is a more detailed account of Alma and the
sons of Mosiah. I like to think of myself as a happy fellow, but Ammon takes
the cake because he keeps fainting from happiness. Pay attention to why he was
able to feel that joy. I want to be like that and I have a feeling that when we
next see each other it will be an alma-style joyful event.
I LOVE you and the work is true!.
...its still snowing...
Onward and Upward
