Hey everyone!

Well it sounds like you all had a fun break and a good New Year's celebration.  I would have really liked to have gone snowboarding (ha ha)  but mine was still pretty good.  I bought me and my companion a 5 dollar shrimp platter at Walmart so we stayed up and ate shrimp, Christmas candy and watched "The Testaments".  It was pretty fun.  I'm sure dad is really enjoying football season on his new big screen TV (ha ha).  I'm sure the playoffs are good and the superbowl is just around the corner!  Well, I will be able to remember 2012 as the entire year I was on my mission.  Missionary work should get interesting at least by the end of 2012, with Mitt Romney probably running against Obama (from what I hear he is looking like he will be the Rep. candidate) and then supposibly it will be the end of the world (ha ha).  So I will be looking forward to that.  But the work here is going pretty good. We are teaching a lady named Roxanne.  She is probably mid 30's and is divorced with two boys-- one is 9 and the other is 2.  She came to church on Christmas but texted us yesterday and told us she wasn't able to come.  But we are working with her and hope that she continues to progress.  Dad thats really cool that you are getting into some geneology.  I'm sure it will be really interesting what you dig up about your ancestors--that would be really interesting to know.  Plus being able to take those names to the temple will be really cool.  And as far as the bike goes I'm definately getting more used to it but it will probably take a few more weeks until my legs get in better shape (ha ha).  But my new companion is pretty cool; we get along well.  Thanks mom for sharing that article in the Ensign. I will have to find it when I get back and read through it.  I'm sure you really enjoyed your break and probably don't want to go back to school.  But it will be summer vacation in no time.  As far as new years resolutions I haven't really made any except to just work hard. Well, I'm glad that you all had a fun break and New Years eve.  Well, Monkey's just keep up the good work in school, you will have to let me know if you get strait A's for the second quarter.  I love you all a lot and I am glad to hear everything is going well! :)

 

Love,
