Merry Christmas from the Elder Elf's

Just a quick note, I loved talking with all yall on Christmas and
seeing your gorgeous little faces, it put a smile on my face, seeing
as how the family is still the same. Well the rest of the week went
really well we had a miracle happen. We were at the church on Saturday
and a lady came up saying she had a boy in the car that wants to be
taught, tens out she is from Minnesota and is a member, just down here
for a month or two, the boy is Isaac. One of her friends boys, he
knows a lot and had already been reading the Book of Mormon, he's a
freshman in high school and boxes, so we took him on a church tour and
set up a time to meet with him tomorrow, he even came to church
yesterday and was really welcomed in, in the young men's, he's going
to the youth New Year's Eve dance and is excited about it. He's an
awesome kid, things in Palatka are just going great, not just for us
but for all the missionaries in palatka, we are currently leading our
zone, it's pretty exciting to see all that is going on here.
Love YOU ALL!!!

This weeks be full of one thing after another. But where to start, might as well start at the best part, way back on Monday I received a nice big box and you wouldn't believe who it was from, you...... Thank you so much, I've been good, haven't ended anything gets, I have guessed a lot of it though... 😊 you know me. Then this week we had interviews with President Craig, most of the time was just spent on talking about setting goals for the rest of my mission, he's talking like I'm going home soon or something. Then on Thursday we had our big mission Christmas party, which was pretty cool, lots of talents/skits and a big dinner, which really wasn't that good, just fun to see all your old friends again, finishing it all up with a Christmas devotional. Then on the way home we swong by the Mullins(a family from Fleming island) BRANNON their 23 year old son who we baptized a year ago was there and we had a nice visit with them and gave them a Christmas gift, it was good seeing them again it had been so long. Then on Saturday we volunteered at a soup kitchen, I of course called washing dishes cause it was the easiest and most fun job there, but the rest of our week was spent working hard with most of our appointments falling through until Sunday came and for some reason everything went right and we found everyone at home, blessings do come from enduring till the end. Oh and I almost forgot Sunday we combined the two Wards here for a big Christmas program and when I say combined there was a total of 260 people(about the size of what I am use to back home). Lots of musical numbers and for some reason they asked the sister missionaries to sing and the elders to sing. Ya we were pretty bad, all for of us elders kinda stink at singing but afterwards we were told that we were at least better than the sisters. So from the sounds of it, it seems that your programs was a lot better. I look forward to skyping yall for Christmas but I do need a Skype address for it, so if you can get me that as soon as possible that will be great.  Love you all and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for the emails this week and the letters that y'all wrote earlier, I really enjoyed them. Love Ya
