WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so stinkin excited right now! haha that is so cool! however NOBODY has told me where he is going! He didn't write me and I want to know where he is going!
That is so cool! mom has told me that I need to help her with the language that he will be learning so she can learn it so I took advantage of my privileges and went to the church site. I can check who is coming into our mission, who has there call, who is in the MTC, and who is coming into the field. So I know he is not coming here, and then I read that it covers Finland soo ... I'm going to go for the Baltic States, Russian Speaking is my guess! I'm so excited! that will be so much fun! and the fact that I get to see him off is just Awesome! ah man I'm so excited! wow that is so cool! please tell me more so I can know! I'm so excited for you bud! we will be talking soon.
so this week was crazy! we had a LAST minute mission conference! president had us at the very last minute call 100 missionaries and plan travel for them! my brain exploded that day. Our conference was with President Bennet. He pretty much threw down on us all! he told us something cool, I have shared this with you before, you know in Jeremiah 16:16 where there are fishers and hunters, well if you read verse 14 and 15 with it talks about the north countries... do you know that Ukraine sits right above Jerusalem? it was a cool thought. so anyway yeah my week was all last minute... president also called me towards the end of the week with a request to escort a missionary to the airport.. that was weird. oh yeah this Sunday was awesome! we had an awesome sacrament meeting, and for the third hour.. haha get this! I translated for a def brother into Russian sign language! ha ha we have been teaching them lately and learning alot! so third hour we talked about the ascension, or the raising up.. however you say it, the last lesson in gospel principles.lol I had so much fun and we are headed there way this week to teach them again! it was cool!. Elder hofelings group went home this week! that was really weird! ... haha we stuffed 14 missionaries luggage into the van and were really proud of that! i'll send pictures of that too! so now we are the oldest Ukrainian group! I'm glad that i"ll get to see Christopher before he goes. Its a good thing that the day after we send some home that we receive some new ones! it was a way fun day! I love getting new missionaries. I cooked with sister Klebingat for the dinner and helped her make Lasagna, and you know I might learn something from her ... if she would use measurements! lol pinch of this, dash of that and it turns out perfect!!! lol she is a way sweet lady! The Klebingat Family is absolutely awesome!

Elder Saltmarsh and I had a very tought week! one of the days we went out and did tracting for like 4 hours because we hadn't found anyone to teach and we didn't have anything better to do.. we tracted about 100 doors and received a nice slam from everyone of them save for 2 who gave us a few more seconds than the others after we stated who we were. it was SOOOO hard! I felt like I was fighting myself the whole time. AFter a litle bit of not feeling effective I felt like doing something else. I wasn't really going to the next door with the faith that they would accept us, but I was hoping like crazy! its interesting and pretty tough trying to put off the natural man. its alot more than just paying your tithing, or going to church, or reading the scriptures. Its pushing yourself spiritually until you don't want to go anymore... and then do it anyway!
I know that I like to be comfortable and will do what I can to remain that way... small things, I dont like to sweat, I like to have a full nights sleep, I like having time for myself at night. I noticed that ever so slightly I reserve myself to be comfortable. I hold myself in reserve and therefore Heavenly Father cannot hold me in reserve to be called on when he needs me.
I also attached some songs, they are from my companions dads band! they are called the nashville tribute, and all of these songs were dedicated to missionary work! I really like them!
so anyway! christmas skyp! ok so that you know that 7 oclock doesn't really give me a whole lot of time to talk to you! about 1 hour slightly more... so its up to you. but I can do 7. yeah I love you all! please tell me where chris is going! I want to know! love you all!
