Can you send us a picture of you and Elder Kendell? like one of you in your suits together? or really any pics...i'll take any really.
yeah i'll try... :)
Tell us about Christmas? When will you be able to call? Will you be able to skype? We can skype too? I don't know what will happen with Christian (he's 14 hours ahead of us...13 for you...don't know if he'll call on saturday?) or how he'll be able to. Our church is at 10 for just that day and only sacrament mtg...(do you just have sacrament mtg too?) then it changes to 1 freakin o clock. yuck!!! So not happy about that one.
so yeah i will be able to call and if you guys can we might be able to skype. one of the members here has it and he might let us use that. anyways...yeah i tried to get President jergensen to let me call christian in the phillipines but he said that i wouldn't be able to. so the only way that i can talk to him is if he is calling at the same time that i do....so i don't know how much the possiblity of us talking to each other will be. our church is at 9, so 8 for you guys so i'll probably start calling you guys at around 1-2 maybe noonish. i don't know if elder kendell is going to want to talk to his parents first so we'll find out and just plan on that then. i used to think that having church at 1 was awesome cause i didn't have to worry about getting up on time and getting ready so fast. i could take my time but now i think that the earlier chruch is much better.
Just mailed your package yesterday (thursday). I hope you like it and can wait till Christmas to open them. It supposed to be at the mission office on monday...so hopefully they will hurry and forward it to you . Have you gotten anymore packages from anyone yet?
well i have gotten nate and lori's package for my birthday and it was way cool!!! i got some of those sticky hands and we played with them for hours! awesome!!
How did you get a Christmas tree?
the tree and all the ornaments were in this little closet that is in our appartment and so we just got that out one night and put every thing up. pretty sweet.
Did you get something special on Friday? Were you home? Or was it on the doorstep?
haha yeah we did get it on friday but we didn't eat all of it till like saturday and sunday night. we had just had two dinners that night and so we were super full so we stuck the pizza in the fridge and waited till then to stick it in the oven and warm it right up. it was so awesome!!! thank you momma!! i love you so much!
What did you do in Oskaloosa? for your bday? Did you get to make some brownies?
ok so here's the low down on what i did for my birthday. we went to osky and went and played basketball in the morning which was awesome! then we went home and got changed and did some service for some people there. after that we went home and got ready for lazer tag!!! we played lazer tag for at least an hour and it was only 5 bucks! after that we went home and got ready for that night where we went down to pella and with a member and some people from the local high school and area we played SOCCER!!! so cool to spend my birthday playin the sport i love and emailin my family. such an awesome birthday out here. yeah we made some brownies but had to substitue the vegatable oil for some shortening....they turned out ok but when i took it out i didn't wait to put the candles in it so they all melted and got into the brownies but it was still good.
Do you think that you'll be able to talk to Christian too on Christmas? somehow? Or were you thinking at the same time that we all talk, we can talk together?
yeah i am pretty sure you will be able to talk to christian on christmas. i was hoping that we could all call at the same time and talk that way but it doesn't look like we'll be able to do that. :/
Is there anything that you'd like us to ask Christian? when he calls?
uh, just how things are there and what kind of food he has eaten. :) oh guess what! i ate a frog leg!!! now i can say when people ask me what the weirdest thing i have eaten i can respond and say that. :) haha
Where/what are your plans for Christmas? well they are pretty unsure right now. a lot of members have asked us what we are doing something and then say that they might be doing something but right now it looks like we will be just having dinner at a member of the branch council's house.
We asked Christian what he wanted for Christmas and he said "I don't know...something amazing I guess.." and then said...name that movie.
it took us a while but maybe you can guess its from the incredibles!!
How often do you get your haircut? Does anyone do it for free? Or you have to go somewheres? mmm i just got my hair cut in osky for my birthday so that was cool but i don't get it cut very often. i cut it once right before i got out and once when i was with elder excell and now once with elder kendell.
