Trunkie? (see below) I won't get to do this when I go home!

Heyro everyone

So my Christmas was pretty fun... I guess. I got to stay in my grubs practically all day. I hung out with the Bowman Family. We went over at one and ate ribs. Then we played the What If game. After that we made gifts for other missionaries. I made a dumb thing for my ZL just to be stupid but he really liked it for some reason. Later that night our mission got together for a party. That was pretty much it.

Lately we've been getting a lot of referrals for people who want the missionary lessons. I like it cause I hate tracting. Course, walking around in the cold with no coat on as a missionary is a good idea.

That's pretty much all I have for this week. I'm pretty trunky and I go home in four months.

Later everyone.

So the other day I was stuck in Big O Tires all afternoon waiting on them to give us new tires, fix the alignment, and change the oil. As I was waiting I picked up an LDSLiving Magazine on Dads. While reading it I came across an article by a Christamae Zimpel. I was like, "Zimpel... Zimpel... Why does that name sound familiar?" Turns out I went to seminary with her. Wish things were better for her and her family.

Hmm... thats's about it. Don't really remember what else happened this past week.

Okay, so today is transfer day and we got some new rules.

Our mission is going from 11 zones to 8 zones. Toole Zone, Wyoming Zone, North Zone, East Zone, West Zone, South Zone, Central Zone, and Salt Lake Zone. Each Zone will now consist of 18 - 24 missionaries.

There are no more Zone Meetings. There will only be District Meetings. Those will take place Friday mornings. Friday afternoons will be devoted to Weekly Planning.

Instead of meeting as Zones, we will only be meeting as Districts for Meetings and Weekly Planning.

We can only go to the Temple once a month on a week specified by which Zone you're in.

Effective January 1st: Preparation Day will be moved to Monday.

Let's see... I think that's it.

My comments: I go home in April.

Don't really have much to say. Christmas is coming up. That'll be sweet. I think. Things are going good with Elder Wright.

Catch ya'll later

Hey everyone. How ya doing? This week I got an amazing three emails. Sad day for me. I did however get a Christmas present and a letter from my mom. That was shweet.

As far as things are going with Elder Wright, things are going good. I don't know what I was on last Friday but he's from Baltimore, Maryland. Dun dun dun. We're having a lot of success. Most likely, we'll be together next transfer as well.

So... don't really know what else to say in these. Check out my facebook for more pics

My emails are slowly getting smaller and smaller as I near the end of my mission. Go figure.

So anyways, yesterday Elder Healey had an Emergency Transfer outta here and my new companion is Elder Wright. At first I didn't know if I would like him due to past transfers of serving around him. But he's pretty chill. He's from Baltimore, PA and been out one transfer more than me. He was actually Elder Mitchell's companion in the MTC.

So I guess you're all wondering why I'm emailing on Friday. Well, on Wednesday our leaders had a meeting so for the rest of the mission, P-Day was on Thursday. But on Thursday, our zone had interviews with the mission president. So we have P-Day today. Right now I'm emailing at the public library. I only got 15 more minutes and I had to pay a dollor for it. Bummer. I coulda used that for a McDouble. But it's not so bad. I don't have much to write anyways. I'll just go look at books.

Later everyone
