Hey family! It is good to hear from you again. It sounds like Christmas was painfully average around the house. I'm a little upset that i can't enjoy the new TV situation for a while, but i guess its better that you got it right after I left rather then before. I'm glad to hear Pat White went out on a great note. I guess for their last home game, every one in the crowd wore white in honor of Pat's last game. Its the first time in history a player has been honored like that. I'm also glad to hear Boise state lost. I've been in an argument with a few people on which team is better, Utah or Boise.

So like I said, Christmas sounded kinda boring at home. Here things were a little different. We had a Christmas Eve devotional and Elder Bednar came. It was so cool. Then Christams morning, we had a another devotional, which Elder Holland came to. It was so awesome. I'll never forget it. Don't feel bad that I'm kinda short on details about it because I'm sending you a tape I recorded of me talking about it in detail. We had two other devotionals on Christmas day, one we all played chimes in one and that was really cool. The mission presidency talked about Christmas. The other we watched Mr. Kreugers Christmas and they made enough pop corn for us all. It was a way fun day but its been back to the grind stone ever since.

I actually did make that poster. It was a trick some of the missionaries here taught me. Oh dad, we have our devotionals in the gym not down at the Marriot Center. I don't know if you watch the local ABC news channel much anymore, but one the kids I'm with a lot, Elder Dupre, his dad is an anchor in the mornings. Well I have to go so I'll hear from you tomorrow. Thanks for the Christmas presents. They all work wonderfully. Oh by the way, I'm a little upset dad talked me into exchanging those shoes. I can only stand to wear the high top ones, so if there is anyway we could get those exchanged that would be great. Oh and send pictures! of the cats and dog too! Alright, I have to go see you later.
