Hey Yal,

So our zone went up another companionship after transfers. 16 comp or 32 missionaries... biggest zone in the mission by like 8-10 missionaries haha we're leavin everyone in our dust! its so much fun. We have so much activities together and we just have a blast all the time! love it!! So the sisters that cover with us are really bothering me.. well just one of em.... she's the kind that has to do it all herself and if she didn't do it, its not right and she has to be in charge and etc you get the picture.. she totally takes our teaching pool and starts teaching em and in WC throws us under the bus.... grrrr I was hoping she woulda got transferred but nope didn't happen... oh well I guess I gotta learn something here. maybe long suffering. or maybe I'm supposed to humble her who knows. but its really bothering me. I don't like it when people take my work.... I'm ready to be done with singles ward too. They're just not concerned with missionary work and its hard. but its ok cause it gives me lots of free time to spend strengthening the zone and helping em out! plussssss ready for this..............................

.......GOT MY NEW CHEVY CRUZE!!!!  SEE YA JAPANESE TINFOIL!!  oh man is so awesome I totally want one if I cant afford a truck. its saweeet!!!!!! I like am worried about it when we lock it up for the night and go in our apartment. like I just love that car! haha its so nice... in fact I get to drive it as soon as I'm done here! heck YES!!!!! hahaha so happy. aint drivin a prius anymore!

Speakin of cars, it was sweet ....we were down at the mission office and President has taken over the whole church parking lot with crown vics like 30 of em. The ward has to park down in the neighborhoods, its hilarious! A few of us convoyed a bunch to different mechanic shops and it was hilarious because they were ex cop cars so they had the bumpers and spotlights still. So funny all the people were slowing down near us. hilarious!

Yes as we got in my beloved chevy today, the UPS guy stopped and so we sat for a few minutes and boom there it was!!! so happy!! haha thanks so much... can't wait to open it! and I wont open all the presents early like I may or may not have done last year...... haha whoops!

Yeah so church is canceled for 2 weeks, so we're gonna try and mooch off everyone elses dinners and such haha we might be dead in the water for a few weeks... but I got my Chevy so its all mickey mouse.

So we met with all the family ward bishops and got a huge lists of LA to visit now which should hopefully keep us busy. hopefully.

Its getting super cold here..... like a wet cold that cuts to the bone... its ridiculous... Colorado isn't cold at all compared to this nonsense! but that's ok, I've got my Chevy :) she keeps me warm! haha

Fish is turning out of his shell which is good..... slowly. but some times he comes out of his shell too much and says some really out there things at dinners....... and everyone gets quiet and looks at him and then we all bust out laughing its funny.  He's really tryin to fit in and I know the zone is really starting to trust him and such so its good.

Call's now in PA1st so we still get to see him but not like it used to be. every things quieter now lol. 

We have no dinners for the week after this and the one after that.... haha its ridiculous! singles ward is a ghost town!

The zone's going over to our old Bishops for Christmas breakfast which should be super fun... we'll probably Skype there unless a better opportunity comes up.... its Palo Alto so I assume its better wifi for a 7 mil dollar home. just guessing lol..... their roads are terrible though.

Love you all so much!! Learned in church if our faith isn't being challenged, its decaying and not growing. So hard times are good :) Love you all ..... keep the faith

Hurrah for Israel!
