We had a good week. We're still working hard and having fun. There's not a whole lot of stuff to report especially since I'll be talking to y'all on Saturday. This week should be pretty crazy. Elder Mackey and I hit our 6 month mark on Thursday, we go to Kingston on Friday for a mission christmas party and Saturday is Christmas. That's cool that you had the openhouse for the new chapel. It's too bad I can't be everywhere at once. Things are going good here, though. We are working with a great guy named Kortney Stuart. He has a small metal working shop so we relate pretty well. We committed him to be baptized so we're excited for him. Well, that's pretty much it. we'll talk to you on Saturday, so later. Merry Christmas!

Happy December
Dec 6, 2010
We had another good week. We have several good people we are working with. unfortunately we didn't get to meet with Sister Swearing. She is still doing very well. She downloaded the general conference talks and is reading gospel principles and has already read through several books in the book of mormon. We are lucky if we get to meet with her once a week but she is our most solid investigator because she takes the time to learn and study on her own. It's been a good example of how important personal study and prayer along with church attendance are to our spiritual growth. We are still working with Bro Richard. We've been able to teach him a couple times and help him out on his little farm.
I forgot to mention last week that we had our primary program for sacrament meeting. It was great. All 6 kids got to bear their testimonies or give short talks as well as sing. I love small branches. It makes church so much more exciting. Yesterday we had good church meetings as well. Last night we got to go to Spanish Town to watch the Christmas devotional. It only took a half hour ride standing up in a crowded bus and then a 20 min walk through the ghettos of Spanish town at night to get there but it was worth it. Luckily we got a ride home in the back of one of the member's cargo trucks. It was fun.
Anyway, things are going good. I'm looking forward to Christmas. It even feels like Christmas here. We have the nice cool "christmas breeze" that keeps things from getting too hot. I got cold last night. It got down to 74. I think I might have to start closing the windows at night or maybe invest in a blanket.
Well, thanks for all you do. Love you all.
