I loved the letters I got from the family gathering! It was fun to read and imagine the goings on of the fam. Benjaman's were my favorite, he drew 3 pictures just for me! I miss that kid, all of you really but I'm grateful for the time that I have to be here and get life experiences I couldn't get any other way.

Congratulations dad on surviving your trip to California.

Sounds like THF and home are the same - things break and need fixing, was it the fridge that wigged out on us last year? I don't remember.

I bought tangerines earlier in the week but they have seeds in them - the last one I ate had 23 seeds in it. It's kind of annoying but Costco is far, far away.

Caroling is all kinds of good. We've done it twice this week with varying success. The first night we got 3 new investigators the 2nd we didn't get any so who knows, we'll keep trying.

We've done lots of tracting and had several really good lessons - I look forward to meeting up with these people again. We spent lots of time praying about Seth (he was supposed to get baptized yesterday) by Thursday we still hadn't met him but got a hold of him at the last minute thanks to prayer. He is not ready to be dunked yet but has a new date in January. He is a good kid and has lots of potential. Melissa is getting baptized Sunday. She isn't one of our investigators but we get to plan the baptism.

Sister Short's mom sent her a little Christmas tree so now we have two trees at our place - we are oh so festive and the Christmas music just makes it that much better.

I'm going to send you pictures of our trees. Lucky you.

That's about it. I love you all and I love your emails and letters. It's great to hear from ya'll.

Congrats on being King of the card game Scum mom! I'm glad ya'll had a great week full of fun.

Sister Short is 21 she is from Gilbert Arizona and she is wonderful. We work hard - have lots of fun while we work - and have similar ideas on how to go about things. She is very fond of making cookies and giving them to investigators. It's not a route I've ever tried - but I'm willing to give it a go.

As a district we are going to start going caroling on a regular basis especially when school gets out. Then after we sing we will share a message with whoever listened and then teach and baptize them. That's the grand plan anyway.

We decorated for Christmas after I wrote ya'll on Saturday. We have a small tree and a little nativity. I took a picture but forgot to bring the cord - I'll pass it on next week. Saturday we also went bowling, I got 4th out of 5th with a grand score of 74. Fifth place had a score of 24 so I didn't feel too bad about my score in comparison.

We have a baptism on Friday then another on Sunday. I have yet to meet either one of them but I will and it's gonna be fun planning those.

Peace and Love, Kelli
