Follow up to the Christmas Call December 29, 2014

It was so great to talk you guys on Christmas! It was hard to say goodbye as always. But I agree with you Dad. It's hard to want to say goodbye, but we didn't really have much to talk about anymore. But it was still really great to see all of you! I love that I got to talk to you for so long! But yeah, it won't be too long before I get to again. Everyone always says that the time from Christmas to Mother's Day is short, but the time from Mother's Day to Christmas takes a long time. Anyway.

So Christmas was good. I don't know. I pretty much told you all about what happened. Because by the time I was finished talking it was already the 26th. So..ya know. You pretty much know everything that happened. But it was a good Christmas. hard to be away from the family. But, I got to hang out with my mission friends. And then be with the Bray family. They are so great. I think part of the reason I am serving in Florida is so I would survive the Holidays! I mean, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. It has made it a lot easier to be away from you all when I have had great people to be around. 

Anyway. This week should be interesting. We have New Years Eve and then New Years Day. We aren't supposed to do a ton of proselyting on New Years Eve and then there is NO proselyting on New Years Day. Too many drunk people. So we will be hanging out with other missionaries. It should be interesting. I think we're going to go to the Zoo in Johannesburg. And we want to go to Carnivore some time. The bring ridiculous amounts of meat around to you on huge kabobs place. I really want to go there. I mean, obviously I do. Look at me. Does it look like I don't like all you can eat places?! Yeah...

Transfers are coming up soon. This is the last week of transfers. So you will be hearing the news next week! Who knows. Everyone is guessing different things. 

We also have interviews with the mission president next Friday. That should be good. It has actually been pretty interesting..okay fun..to teach with President and Sister Dunn. It was a lot better this week. The lesson was much more structured. And they weren't all over the place this time! Haha! But the guy, Pierre, is really cool. And will be a great member. i say that with confidence that he will get baptized. I mean, please. He is a referral from the mission president and his wife. He should be a pretty good guy! ;)

You know how the members here gave us presents. Like all the missionaries. Anyway, they gave us the CD of President Dunn and his bear attach. It's a CRAZY story. And really interesting and fun to listen to! I'm glad I finally got to hear it. I can't believe my mission President was attacked by a grizzly bear...and survived! Pretty awesome!

Well. It was great to hear from you. I love an miss you all. Thanks for everything. I am really sorry. But I haven't thought about what to send me. I will keep thinking about it. Just hold of on the package sending for another week! Haha! I love you!
