December 10th, 2012




Hey family :)

Hope you all had a great week.  That’s really cool mom and dad that you got dads grandparents sealed I bet that was really neat.  You will have to tell me more about it during our call.  I’m glad the ward Christmas party turned out good it sounded like fun.  Candace looks really good as Cindy Lou I think she played the part perfect ha-ha.  We went to the Stake Christmas devotional last night it was really good.  The ward party should be fun this week we are looking forward to it.  Mike and his family came to church again yesterday and seemed to enjoy it.  They haven’t stayed passed sacrament meeting though their kids don’t want to go to primary ha-ha.  Their older daughter who is 23 stayed for all 3 hours yesterday and then came to the Stake performance also and she has talked a little about baptism so I think things are looking good for them.  The rest of their family is a bit hesitant for a date to be baptized but we have a lesson scheduled for this Thursday and they also signed up on our dinner calendar for Christmas so that should be fun.  Also the 12 year old girl named Madison is doing well.  We had another lesson with her after church and have another one for Wednesday.  Her stepmom really wants to make sure she is ready to be baptized so it might be the weekend after Christmas.  She came from a home where her mom was doing drugs and she just didn’t grow up in a good environment so it’s taking a little more time to get her on the right track.  It finally cooled off here.  It’s been warm and in the 70s and 80s until last night and today.  I think it froze last night or got close so now it’s more bearable to wear our suit jackets.  We have to wear them from Oct. to April even if it’s hot and we were really baking in them so hopefully it stays cool.  As far as the Christmas call home just let me know what your schedule will be like on Christmas like when dad will be home and when the best time to call would be.  Also yes just send the package to the mission office there in San Antonio.  We are having our Christmas conference on the 20th and that’s when they hand out the mail.  So I think to be safe the latest I would mail it would be the 15th.  We are moving out of the Patty's this Friday and we are moving to live with a member of the stake presidency who lives just a few miles away.  They are going to be out of town from the 20th to the 31st.  We are going to stay there and then hopefully get moved into any apartment the first week in January.  It’s going to be crazy getting everything moved over and then moving again ha-ha.  But oh well.  But if someone like Natalie or Tyson wants to send something and it’s too late to send it to be there in time for the 20th I’m sure they can just send it to the Patty's and she will bring it by or let me know.  But anyways I bought my boots last P-day--they are really cool. I will include a picture.  They fit really nice and are comfortable to walk in I really like them.  So, thanks for the Christmas present :)  I also got some cool pictures with a parrot this week that this member has.  It got on our shoulders and everything and could talk it was pretty neat.  This morning there was a scorpion in my shoe and it stung me when I put the shoe on my foot.  Luckily it was pretty small and here they aren’t poisonous or anything.  It didn’t really hurt either it just felt funny for a few minutes.  Today we are going to stop by Walgreens or maybe even at Wal-Mart and I’m going to make a Christmas card to send out so I will probably be mailing some home.  That’s really cool that Rachel Melling is going on a mission.  Well Monkey it sounds like you are still doing really good in your college classes keep up the good work!  You played the part of Cindy Lou really good ha-ha.   I’m glad you were able to make some extra holiday money babysitting I bet it was fun!  Well Court it sounds like you have been playing really good in your games!  Keep up the good work and keep letting me know how your games are!  I bet your both excited for the break when do you get out?  Enjoy the snow and be careful driving!  I’m sure you have the address for the mission office but here it is again:

Elder Morgensen
404 E. Ramsey Rd. Suite 105
San Antonio, TX 78216-4665

Also Sister Patty got us a small tree and gave us stuff to decorate it with so that was pretty fun. Well I think that’s everything.  I love you all so much have a great week! :)

Love Devan
