Hey!

For skyping could we do it Monday morning 7:30 my time? I think that would be the evening of the 25th for you.

Thank you for sending that package a few weeks ago, It has been a ton of fun opening one every day. I think one of my favorites has been the taco seasoning. It made us both laugh.

This month our entire mission has been participating in the 25 day Christmas challenge thing but it has been modified a little so that we could do everything as missionaries. Today one of the things I need to do is "Remind my parents about emergency preparation." So, there it is. You have been reminded. 

This week has been a lot of fun. On Friday we were doing weekly planning when we got a phone call from President Teh and he said that we was coming down for the weekend and wanted to take us out to dinner. It was supper unexpected. It takes about 7-8 hours to travel from our area to the mission home, we are the furthest elders away so this area never gets any visits from anyone, let alone the mission president. On Sunday he came to church and I got to translate for him. He has pretty sophisticated English so it was a bit of a struggle translating a few things he said. My favorite line I attempted to translate was "Missionary work is the lifeblood of the church." My companion started laughing in the congregation when our President said that because he knew I was clueless as to how to translate that. In the end it ended up going all right though. After church on Sunday they came to inspect our apartment and I also had to renew my temple recommend so we ended up doing that in a really small spare room we use as storage space and a changing room. It was an interesting experience. It all ended up being a ton of fun and I was really glad we got to spend a little time with them this weekend.

This next week is going to be really packed. We will be going on exchanges, we are going to a zone conference, our branch has a Christmas party and we already have a bunch of lessons set up for next week. It should be a lot of fun.
I hope you both have a Christmas week! I love you both!
