Letter dated 12-12-12



Sup Fam,

This week was alright. Kinda busy but not overwhelming at all. Felt lazy at some point again. We decided that we are going to work harder on the Deaf Branch this week – but our videophone (VP) has been disconnected since we moved, and we have to rely on text to communicate. We should be getting it fixed soon.

The recent converts in the Canyon Crest Ward invited us over for Christmas in the afternoon/evening. They have skype and facetime. Their name is Bobryk and the mom's name is Ardonna . . .maybe it only has one “n”. Anyway, she would like it if you send anything for Christmas to send it to their house. The address is 6924 Cypress Grove Dr., Riverside CA 92506. Husband's name is Corey.

We aren't teaching anyone right now. But we just got a list of kids in the ward that haven't been baptized because the family is less-active. So I'm pretty sure we could get up to 10 baptisms by the end of next transfer as long as we work every single day as hard as we can to find, teach, and baptize. We were promised baptisms if we talk to 20 people every day – by Elder Ballard. We accomplished that goal for the whole week. It sounds easy but we have a lot of things to do during the day and we find ourselves scrambling at night to get over 20. Tracting works in this area. (Compared to asking the ward to help). We've got a few potentials from knocking doors but no progressing investigators.

I'm still waiting on the sheet music. I don't know if you've sent it or not. It wouldn't matter anymore I guess. I'll just send it back because Christmas will be over. Thanks though. I never play the piano anymore. I don't even have a desire to sit and enjoy it. It's lost its appeal. I just like writing now. So expect to hear more from me. Maybe.

Happy Birthday Mommy and Sissy! (in a couple of weeks) I hope you have a good day and don't feel old. Thanks for the Christmas sheet music – I finally got it, but it was damaged during delivery and took forever. I'll keep it. Um, so funny story. Last night we were on splits and exchanges. So Elder Henrie was with another Elder and I was with a member. Elder Henrie wasn't sure he knew the area so he took his new GPS with him (on bikes). After an hour and a half, we called them to meet back at the apartment, and they told us that they had a flat tire and were just walking home. Apparently – with the GPS - they got lost and by some kind of miracle, the Bishop's wife drove by and called the Bishop over and he gave them a ride back. So everything worked out, except they never contacted anyone on their list. So we got very little work done. Lost with a GPS . . . Haha.

Well, I'll write again soon I guess. Sorry I don't make my letters special in any way.
