WEEK 51!!!

Hey My dear family,

I must apologize i dont have a scripture of the week this week. i think its the first week ive missed since ive been out! Well i am sure you noticed this, but it is week 51. that means there must be something super fantastic that is going to happen this week, guess we will have to wait and see. 

Elder Zilles and his Christmas tree from home:) He says "Yes, the organized desk is mine"

Well mom i do enjoy dads funky greetings, but i am totally good with you two weeks in a row. 

So yes we did get to watch the Christmas Devotional. No one showed up here at the church so it was just the two of us chilling in the high council room watching it on the big screen. They were all such great talks. It was different to just get a greeting talk from president monson, i have a feeling he wasnt feeling to well. I dont know if you noticed, but he now needs help to get up out of his chair, it was heart breaking to see that. 

 Its 23 today and thats the coldest its been in about a week or so.

We had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators  at her home. She is 13 and prayed for the first time in her life yesterday. we sat on our knees for no joke 20 minutes just letting the spirit work with her. It goes in the top 5 events of my mission for sure. 

Well you are probably wondering who the new companion is... His name is Elder Davis he is from Layton. 

The festival of choirs went really well on saturday, we had a  family surprised us and show up so that was really really neat. 

Thank you so much for my count down package and the awesome tree, ill attach some pictures. 

I got a package from a grandma in my last area this week as well, she hand knitted me some socks they are so comfortable. I probably miss her just about as much as i miss you guys.

Headed down to manchester this afternoon for leadership meeting so gonna be another wild crazy week. Thats ok though i can sleep when im dead. 

Tell ya what though i sure do miss my cows, however i DO NOT miss dealing with that dang water trough in the frigid cold weather. 

sure do love y'all,  talk soon

Hold to the Rod
