elder
hals last email.
well
i went to the center today and bought stuff for everyone. I tried to find stuff
but unfortunately im terrible with presents but i did the best i could. I
couldnt find anything for dad or the boys tho. everybody else is good tho. i
did my best i hope everybody is happy with what i found. Eliana calls me once a
week and i asked her to find a nativity set cuz i couldnt find one here. shes
coming to visit on friday. i dont know exactly when im going to the mission
home or anything, they havent told me anything yet. but im leaving saturday
night or sunday morning. I think saturday night. Im 6 hours away from Teresina
and to have an interview and dinner with the President it makes more sense to
leave on saturday but if not im speaking in church on sunday. we had our branch
christmas party and the branch president asked me to speak about the mission
and all that good stuff and i cried. a lady recorded the whole thing. that was
when it really set in the i was leaving. its sad thinking about it, i try not
to cuz its so much happiness and sadness all bundled up together. but im happy
the mish is coming to a close, im tired.
o
yeah so on christmas we are going to skype. im not all that excited about it
cuz like 4 days later ill be at home.....but itll still be good to talk to you
guys. we are going to skype at about 5 pm here. thats like what 1 or 2 in the
afternoon in arizona?
i
feel for you about your laptop. one of my friends that i baptized here got his
bike stolen yesterday (its his only means of transportation) i hate thieves with
a passion. They make me angry but it happens, life goes on unfortunately theres
nothing we can do about it. it was sad tho. hes a 13 year old kid and his life
was his bike and somebody stole it. he was pretty upset about it. if i had the
money to buy him a bike i would, his parents left him with his grandparents and
they dont really care about him. they feed him and give him a place to live but
he doesnt really have anybody. I promised him that i would pay for his mission.
if somebody doesnt pay it he has no way to go and he really wants to go on a
mission. I told him that when he got baptized 5 months ago and he still reminds
me about it almost daily. im gonna miss that kid so much, hes awesome.
anyways
im excited to see you guys and see arizona and sammers. oh i want to talk to
the bennetts before i go to school. the post office here is a joke and i gave
up on writing letters. anyways love you all byeeeeeeeeee
Then he sent a follow up email with food requests...

want to eat at a brazilian restaraunt. (I will explain why christmas)

and anything else you can think of that i loved before the
