New Companion

Hey everybody!

So this week has been pretty good. I got my new/last companion, Elder Fox on Tuesday, so that's been pretty good. Now, if you have paid attention to my letters over the past year or so, and you have a good memory, you'll remember that exactly a year ago, I already did serve with an Elder Fox. Turns out, this Elder Fox is a totally different person, and has no known relation to my previous Elder Fox comp.

 

Elder Fox is a good kid though. He's from St. George, and he's been out for 6 months, so he gets to learn what it's like to kill off a missionary. Not super sure on how much he likes me, but it's whatever. Worst case scenario, we endure each other for 5 more weeks. Speaking of missionaries dying, the first few days  of this week were soooo bad for me. So I feel like I've done well with not being trunky, especially considering that all I've been doing the last couple of transfers is kill off missionaries. But this week, as soon as we got back from transfer meeting, a tidal wave of trunky hit me and carried me out to sea for a solid couple of days. It was rough... I've finally pretty much made it back to the sandy beach of focused missionary work, but the fact that the end my mission is, in reality, actually drawing nigh, was a little shocking. 

My district is doing really well. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do to help them, because they all seem to be doing great, and they won't tell me if they need any help. Although one set of

Sisters asks me questions pretty often, so that's really nice. I appreciate it when they want my help.

The work is about the same as usual. Not a whole lot of change to report there. 

I'm pretty stoked to be able to Skype my family on Christmas! Christmas Eve, the mission is having a mission wide Christmas celebration, so that should be a lot of fun. It'll be a bit of a drive, but totally worth it.

Thanks for reading, and I hope all of you have a very merry Christmas!! Just don't forget the real reason why we celebrate Christmas, and who the First Gift was.
