Man what a year. I can't believe that one year ago I was freaking out because I had to go home in a few weeks. That has come and gone and now I have a whole new year to look forward to. Thanks all of you who have made this past year a great experience and a joy to be serving in the OTM. Thanks for all of you who sent me cards and love (and I know that all of you sent me love by prayer mail :)  ). This week went pretty well. We had dinner at the bishops house and it was different but still fun. They served food that Joseph and Mary might have been eating at that time and we all sat on the floor to eat. It was a lot of fun. Then my companion tried to wrestle all the boys that were close to our age but none of them wanted to wrestle a missionary. He jumped one of them and tried to wrestle him but it didn't work at all because my companion had no experience wrestling and was like 30 pounds lighter than his opponent who knew how to wrestle very well. It was funny to watch because the Hogge child didn't want to hurt my companion so he just balled up and Burr couldn't do anything to him, so Burr just gave up. Other than that this week has been full of tracting and following up with potential investigators. No progress being made yet.     We had president Shumway talk to our ward up here and talk all about missionary work and how it is done. The ward took to it very well and they are pumped to share the gospel. I feel like we are watching the sun rise here, its slow but things are getting brighter and brighter every day. Well thanks again for all your love and prayers. I will see you all in a few months.
