MOM DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was great talking to and everyone. That helps so much in the spirit of service. my family You are what keeps me goinging and wanting to spread the gosple. Knowing what i have and that the gosple can give the same things to whoever has it in their lives. Man its great. And hearing everyone was great. The wite handbook says only 30 min. Im proud of your sisters. But The rules can be changed by our Mission President, and he said that he didnt care. bc he has had missionaries out before :) Most people around here did about 1 1/2 hour or 2 hours.

Tell Jacque i say hi and i love her.

so how was Christmas? at grandmas/pas house, then chirstmas with joann and Gma and pa Austin then with amanda and nick? What game did you play to make Christmas fun this year? what did everyone get?

So you will never guess what i planned to do today for pday... i got about 6 sisters together to go to the alligator farm that is about 30 min from us. :) Yes i went to see alligators. I was scared. Last night i layed in my bed and had a few nught mears that i fell into the pit. but i faces my fear today and went. To get there we all pilled into a taxi cab.

We saw a alligator wristling show. they had some BIG gators. and they pit their hands and head in their mouths. CARZY!!! but i want to say there is a trick or something that maks the alligators not bike down. I dont know... then you could go take a pic with the gator but i chickened out:( i almost wish i did now. maybe we will go a gain.

They had a huge pond that had hundreds of gators in it. Some were HUGE and the gennuses Book of world records biggest alligator in captivity was in that pond. i dont know if i saw it but i sure saw some gainormous gators. if you fell into that water. you would me lunch. no survival. you could buy chicken and feed them. wow!! what a mad house!!!! and if anyof them moved all of them would snap at them or growl. I think those are the worst room mates to have. It makes me greatful for Carlie Keith Eric and AManda. My siblings arnt that bad :) oh and man are they UUUGLY! Ive got a good looking family :)

Work is goinging to be hard for the next week. everyone is leaving the City. who wants to spend the new years in the city. Out in the country is SO much better. I wish i could leave too. :)

I like branches better than wards. As a branch they have a goal to become a ward. So they are more willling to help us fined investigators. There is just a different feeling between the members in a branch. The members are nice here. I still dont know everyone yet, but im sure i will love them once i do. They do help us, but you would think bc everyone is closer together (area wise) we would get more members to help us teach. That is not the case. They say everyone works and arent free... im not going to get into my oppinion how i feel about that. im just going to try my best. Peole have been giving us referrals and we have gotten some sweet poeple. The Lord had blesses us for having to walk everywhere ... in the heat:)

But i like walking. It is better exercise than biking. but my feet hurt and i might have to buy new shoes. :) But riding a bike would be extreamly unsafe here. but i do miss it. we have many 'fun' times together :)

Are you counting down when i get home? Im trying not too. bc its going to fly by faster than i know it. Crazy today is 11 months since i was set apart as a missionary. WOW!!!!!!! What a great 11 months. I cant wait to see what happens in the last 7.

I think i have heard about the new idea to help wards be more active in the missionary work. ANd if it the same plan I LOVE IT. Members really have to know missionary work is theirs. Missionaries are there to help them. No tthe other way areound. We are the servants. We are set apart to serve the members. Help them fulfill their missioary plans. Is that sound like the same plan?

I would like to move houses. i just dont really feel comfortable there. i hope to find a place in the neighborhood next to the elders. right now they are about 5 mins from the church on bike. Then if a got my wish i would love to move in to a condo. it has security and everything and it is realy updated. we will see what happens.

there are 6 sisters well 7 sisters in our zone. We have a three some untill a sister returns. She went home to be with her little sister who is dying of cancer. We all pray she will find the strength and courage to come back out.

We have a sweet investigator. her nam,e is kwang. she is 16. The 1st time we met we gave her a Book of Mormon. she came to church in sunday and we taught her after. wow she knows the BOM. We weretalking about Jesus's earthly ministry. and she was telling us what she rembers about him 'well in Mosiah 3 it says...' WOW! then ' In Alma 40 it talks about what happens when we die' She is very bright. se got a bptismal dat with her in feb 7th.

Have i told you how much i enjoy having sis. Surarak as my camp.
she is a liitle ball of fire. SHe is great with the members and the investigators. She can have fun and be serious through our lessons. And we have fun together. Joking, laughing, teasing. so much fun. We read the BOM together everymornig Me in thai her in english. Then we practice pronouncing the words we couldnt say correct through out the day. She is great.

Mom have you helped the sisters teach yet?
