201 days left New Years Eve

well here in iowa city is super slow. don't have much to do. but we did reach our mission baptismal goal of 400 baptisms for the year of 2012! woooohoooo!!!  :) we were told by a G.A. that if we didn't reach our goal of 400 that we wouldn't reach our goal of 550 for this next year of 2013! so im super excited to help out in this goal while i can. so i went out and bought a binder for my District leading and it is nice. just what i wanted! so now i can look official and not have this giant white binder sitting on the podium in front of me. nice! i can't believe that ashley is leaving already and that sam is home now! so weird. and so fast! wow. crazy and to think that randy is out on his mission! oh man time flies by when you doing the lords work....and when you're having fun with it! :)

well thats about it for me! i love you and miss you and it would have been super weird to have talked to you on the phone! so im glad that that didn't happen. haha sorry momma. not for another couple of months. 

love

oh ps. the card you sent me doesn't work. what did you do to it? did you take pictures on it with that big fat camera? or did you put a video on it? like i can't even get it to work on a computer. it just says...card not usable. 

I forgot to ask about the primary letters...isn't it kinda funny.  There are some new kids that you don't even know that wrote you...aurelia, johnny (brother and sister)  

yeah i also got some from the young women in the ward as well i think. from sarah mitchell? haha this is sad but is that sister mitchell who is married to K.C mitchell? anyway so yeah i have a lot of writing to be doing in the next few weeks. :) haha
