Hello friends and family
This week was really awesome. First off, we had a normal P-day and did normal P-day things. Tuesday we had our special Christmas conference. It was very loose and there wasn't a lot of training going on. President and sister Blair spoke about the importance of believing. Believing that we can reach our goal of 200 baptisms by the end of the year, believing that Christ lives and that we are preparing a covenant people for the blessings of a temple here in ten years. It was a really awesome and powerful experience. for Christmas they gave us these really awesome handmade bells to remind us to believe in the miracles of Christmas and the subsequent miracles of the death and life of the Savior. That remembering these things will help us to understand the meaning of our labor here.
After that we went on exchange in Manchester with the Zone Leaders. We had a really big birthday party because my birthday was on the 6th, Elder Short, one of our zoneleaders, was on the 7th and my companion's Elder Smith was on the 8th. So we had a big birthday party and got some cards and ate snacks and stuff.
We had our first big snowstorm of the season. it wasn't too bad only about 5 inches. I never really minded driving in the snow. I think it is kinda fun!
I want to thank everybody for your birthday wishes and gifts. I am so grateful that I have such supportive friends and family back home. I am no longer a teenager, I feel like an old man. ;) We have transfers on the 19th which is never my favorite. I am sure that it will work out, change is just difficult. Well that is about all that I have. I hope that you all have a wonderful rest of your week! Love you!

Also, we talked to this guy that had over 120 inflatables in his yard for Christmas! It was crazy!
