Well,
the craziness doesn't stop coming. I'll just cut to the chase before I respond
to your emails. A new zone opened in the mission today, the Metro Zone; and
Elder Peacock and I have been assigned as Zone Leaders. Wow. So that's that
haha... one month as DL and out of the blue, Zone Leader. Great… more
responsibility. Anyway, I really LOVED seeing you all on skype on Christmas! It
was great to talk to you all and I had a grand old time. :) I'm glad you had a
decent Christmas and that the trip was at least somewhat enjoyable.
Mom - I really enjoyed
Christmas and I had a great time talking to you all. :) It looks like you all
had a good time in Vegas! I hope it all worked out all right and that you had a
good time. :)
Dad - Those are some
interesting changes that you told me about in the ward, and I hope it all
worked out okay! Bro. Andreason is a great guy and a great fit there, that will
be good. :) But we are still in the Evans Meadows Ward, right?
Marilee - Hey you!
You're not sending any emails anymore, what's goin' on?? It was great talking
to you on Christmas, and I hope you enjoyed/are enjoying your time off from
school. :) Love you sis, and hope you're doing alright.
Anyway, this week has
been crazy. I remember this time last year, I was in the DR! How crazy is that?
Tomorrow is 2013 and thus begins the year in which I will be returning home,
which is so weird to think about. I remember passing New Year's Eve in the DR
and everything, and it's just odd to believe it's already been a year since
then.

In any case, this week
was really good, and I already told you what we were doing in the Mission Home
for Christmas Eve and Christmas. On Wednesday we did a little more singing and
stuff, and then finally went to our areas. I was able to work in Santurce for a
couple days, and then we were back together to go to Cabo Rojo on Friday night
for another presentation. That's when the transfer changes started happening,
and President pulled people from the choir aside to talk to them. Saturday
morning we sang at a baptism, and then in the afternoon went to Ponce and
performed there, and then came back and did some more stuff. Sunday morning we
went to a couple other wards, and then met back at the mission home, where President
finally talked to me about this new assignment, and then announced all the
transfers that affected the choir.
My old companion Elder
Taylor, is gone to St. Kitts, West Indies. My new one is Elder Peacock, from
Kaysville, Utah. He's great, and I'm super excited to work with him. Also, a
couple other changes happened in the district, and now we're ZLs over a pretty
small zone. So yeah, it's pretty crazy, and a lot of changes and stuff, but I'm
excited and it will be good. I also feel slightly overwhelmed and quite
underprepared, but I know if I just have a little faith, it will all work out.
But yeah, not much else
to talk about, and it's a bit crazy here today trying to email since it's
another holiday, and EVERYTHING closes on holidays here, so there are others
waiting to write on this computer and I can't stay on too much longer. :S But
there's not much else to say anyway besides... I love you! It was great to talk
to you on Christmas, and we'll be talking again very soon on Mother's Day! But
thank you so much for everything, and I hope you are all doing great. I love
you all so much. :) And darn it, I just remembered that I left my SD card back
at the house with all my pictures from the islands... :( but I have a few
pictures I took this week on my new SD card, and I'll try and send them to you.
But thank you again for everything and for the new socks and ties. :) They're
great! Love you all so much!!
