Counting the Days till Christmas!!

Hey everyone! It's been a great week. Thank you for the letters and Christmas cards. I appreciate the ones I've received. I sent mine out today as well so I hope you get those. By the way Mom, can I get the address's for Jordan, Curt & Kris and Parker's. Thanks.  So sorry I didn't get an email off yesterday, we were really busy, plus all the computers at the library were taken, bummer! We had a BBQ for the zone at the Rosequists yesterday for the last day of the transfer, it was really fun. And Elder Parker and I are staying together for another 6 weeks! The night was pretty crazy with getting everything sorted out with the changes in the zone. We received 3 new brand new missionaries to the zone and had to take one of them home to their new place. Our zone is turning into a little Hawaii too! We have 5 missionairies here from Hawaii, so don't worry, it's not just desert here, we have some tropics too! Last night we had a lesson at the Bishops house with one of his friends that wants to learn more. Lately we have just been getting a lot of people to teach which has been awesome. I don't remember how many things I told you last week about our investigators, but as of now we have 3 people set for gaptism! Dorian is getting baptized on Saturday, and yes Mom it's at 6! Your second guess was correct haha. Kaumaka is on the 11th of January, and Tony, who we just started teaching is getting baptized on the 11th of January as well! That will be a great day! So things are going really well in the zone area right now, and the zone. Today will be full of running around getting supply's for everyone in the zone, we go to the office every Tuesday to get supplies for everyone, but today our car will be full! Good thing the new 2013 Fusion has a lot of room in it haha, we are really blessed here!
So something really cool that happened this past week, we had zone conference last Thursday, but we were privileged to have Elder Steven E Snow from the quorum of the 70 come and speak with us and give us training's! (and no he didn't bring 'snow' with him haha) On Thursday morning all the zone leaders were able to get together with President Ahlander and Elder Snow and have a special leadership council with them. It was really cool to be there. Elder Snow is just the most awesome guy, we just felt so comfortable around him, and he just has the best spirit about him. I was grateful for that opportunity we had to listen to him train us. Tomorrow is an exciting day as well because we are having a mission Christmas party. We get to watch Ephraims Rescue! We're so excited, it's not too often we get to watch movies, of course!
So about the nativity that I saw Bruce Crowley at. It's kinda funny that I saw him again because it was a year ago that I saw him at the same place. It was cool to talk to him again. But anyways I don't think I mentioned the Nativity yet, but it is an amazing program that they put on. It's put on by a Stake in Vegas and it's at this place called Opportunity Village, which is a learning center for people with learning disabilities. The facility is actually in my last ward boundaries, But they have like an outdoor auditorium that they use to have a 25 minute presentation of the Nativity. They use actual animals too, there's horses, shepp, donkeys, and a real baby for baby Jesus! It's the coolest thing I've seen. So it was of course a great thing to invite people to that we are teaching. We had a part member family come with us and they loved it. Vegas is a really cool place sometimes. There's a lot of diversity and a lot of cool activities going on.
Well thanks again for all you do and the things you have sent me. I hope everyone has a great week!
I Love You
