I don't really know what to write today, since I talked to you all on the phone on Saturday, but here are some events from the last week that I might have left out. Thursday Elder Hancock and I went caroling with the McArthur family and some of their friends. The caroling took place in the back of a horse drawn wagon; that was strung with Christmas lights. It was really cold, and I discovered that a lot of people don't know all the words to a lot of the popular Christmas carols. The McArthur family is awesome! For Christmas Eve we had dinner with the Dickson family. They did everything they could to make us feel at home away from home. Dinner was a variety of finger foods, including: Meatballs, deviled eggs, fish dip and chips, and mini cheesecakes, so I was content. Elder Hancock and I decided to open one of our presents on Christmas Eve, so I opened a tie, and he opened a pair of fleece pajamas. Christmas morning we went over to the house of an investigator and opened our presents with him and his family. I was very pleased with the purple paisley tie and CDs I received. The rest of the day we didn't have much to do except catch up on some journal writing and sleep. I forgot to mention that I now know how to solve a Rubiks cube. Christmas dinner with the Ferbrache family. They're awesome! I called you and then played a game of Clue. Elder Hancock would've won, but Eric(the Ferbrache's son. Age 13) forgot to reveal a card, so Elder Hancock was expelled from the game, and I won. We had breakfast for dinner, so we had french toast and Cinnamon buns. After dinner we had a vicious game of spoons and I won. We were able to keep busy this week even though it was Christmas. Elder Hancock said that I need to be trained, so the Lord provides work, and I saw that this past week. There are a lot of people we are teaching that just need for it to connect how important the gospel is in their lives in order for them to baptized. So many of them know that it is true and know that the Book of Mormon is true, but they don't feel the need to get baptized, but they will. We are packed with candy right now from all the members we've visited. New Years resolution: learn to say no thank you. We have gotten so much caramel corn and chocolate. Well I'm drawing a blank as to what else I should write, so I love you all and will see you two years.
Love,
Elder David Short
