Hey everyone! Another week come and gone in good 'ol Idaho! This week was pretty good. We had a party every night haha and I sang at one! I sang "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" at a ward party on the ukulele and they asked for an encore. So I gave the people what they asked for and sang another song on the piano! Funniest part of that night was the music lady in the ward was announcing me singing and stuff she said "He even plays the piano!" I felt SOOO uncomfortable. Holy cow. ANYWAYS.

So some of you may know that I have served me entire mission in the same area. Good 'ol Blackfoot West Stake. Been here for 4 months, seems like forever, but I love it here. The people here are amazing, the members really care for us and try their best to help us in missionary work. It feels like home here now. I really don't want to leave here haha, but all good things must come to an end!

So this week is CHRISTMAS WEEK. Man, there is nothing better than this week. Doesn't even feel like Christmas has come because we've been putting in WORK. Our investigator, Dawn, still is progressing just slowly. She has some concerns about being baptized. We do believe she will have a desire very soon! We actually have a lesson tonight, so pray for us!!!!! PLEASE.

Cool thing about smart phones now... They have been ordered! We have LOTS of training to do on how to use them for missionary work, and social media as well! We use Facebook for missionary work as well. So lots and lots of training to do. Our mission president said we won't be using them in our proselyting efforts until like April. Worst part is that they aren't iPhones :/// Samsungs are what we are issued, but that's ok!! It's amazing how the Lord is hastening His work with these technologies He has given us! I'm super pumped to use these in our efforts soon!

Well everyone I love you all so much and pray for you guys daily! I am beyond happy here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints IS true. God lives. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. I know with all my heart that the Book of Mormon is true. Joseph Smith isn't a hoax. He is a prophet of God. He restored the original church of Jesus Christ onto the earth again by the power of God.

Till next week my friends! Merry Christmas!!!
