Hey!

So I am e-mailing today because the library probably is going to be closed tomorrow so President told us to do it today.

I don't remember if I already asked but is the swimming merit badge required? I'm pretty positive it is, right? I'm debating against another "Utah'n" here, Elder Morey. Our Christmas zone conference was pretty awesome and fun. We did a skit that the hermanas in our district made. Us Elders had to act it out while they read it. It was called "The Night before Transfers". It was pretty funny. I don't say much when I write because I hate writing/typing and at the same time I love playing sports so of course if I have to decide I’m going to pick the sports. Our branch had a "Pastorela"/"Posada" thing. A ward activity. A dinner, games, pinatas, nativity (where we were the Shepards). It was fun. So on Sunday it was super cold! With wind chill it was (-30*)! Crazy! It is snowing today and we have about 1/2 to a foot of snow.

I found out that the familia Acosta was baptized. I don't know if I ever told you about them. They have been investigating for a long time and they found us (Elder Stuart and I) on the street after moving into our area (Hermosa Park), so we began to teach them. They were doing well, some crazy stories with them when I was there. I can tell you over the phone if you want, but I found out that they were baptized the end of November. Super cool. I can't believe how fast time is flying by! I hate it! I just hit my year mark and now I’m almost a month past that. I'm not looking forward to things because I’ve heard that the time after your year mark goes by faster than anything. I guess that's why Presidente Monson told us to live each day to the fullest and not pile empty ones up.

Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE TOMORROW! About calling, I probably will be calling about 7-9 o'clock our time so about 5-7 your time. So it's not taking the precious volleyball time from you Abbie.lol If you still have it. The thing that is going to humble me the most is hearing Ellie speak, that is going to be awesome. I did send some things out to everyone. A little late, but coming. It's not too good. I also forgot to send something but I’ll try to send it as soon as possible. (for Ellie and Jenna) wink wink. Anyways, hope all is well and I’ll talk to y'all soon.
