Yes, I would like it if my letters were posted to the blog. Might as well. So to answer your riddles...(very clever by the way) 1.Silent Night 2. O little town of Bethlehem 3. Joy to the World 4. Little drummer boy 5. God rest ye merry gentlemen

I don't think we will email next week. The mission has it's annual Christmas gathering that day...taking away our Pday thank you very much... so we won't have time for anything! [Yes, Seth's email is just what you guessed]

I am very good. Last night I had an eye headache. It was a little different than all the others. It was more focused on the middle of my brain and had much less to do with my eye. But it was the same migraine. We went to the Bobryks and they took good care of me. I felt better by the time we left, but everyone said I was discolored...first, I was white. Then I was green. Then I was yellow. and my cheeks are always red. I'm colorful. I didn't eat anything for dinner because of the headache. I drank some juice and did some drugs which didn't do a thing. (did some drugs means took some Advil)

I feel like there is a butt load of stuff to talk about in this email, but I can't think of anything specific enough to put into words. Even if I did have a specific message, I couldn't find the right words to say to explain myself. That has always been a problem of mine. When teaching the gospel to people, I want them to understand it plainly. So I use plain words and quote scripture when I can. But that goes against my insides. I almost want to confuse them with the way I use words. Not literally to the point of confusion but to the point where their minds start to ponder the message and they actually start thinking. If all they hear is us talking, they will never be converted. They have to feel the Spirit. We invite the Spirit by allowing them to think about what we have said and to find out if it is true or if it's a bunch of bologna. I know it's true. The other day, I was pondering the 2nd coming. I imagined Jesus coming down out of the Heavens in a magnificent display. All the world bowed down and worshipped Him. I remember feeling happy that He came. (In my imagination) I know He will come again, and there will be peace. 

Well, I guess I'm done for today. um...I guess I'll call on Christmas and we'll get skype figured out.
