Dear my greatest family,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Can you believe it? I've been gone one month tomorrow?! One entire month. Ahh. So crazy. I'm currently sitting in the computer lab listening to Christmas music on the lds.org website. I've recieved lots of letters and packages from you all and from friends this week--- all of which I'm SO grateful for. Mom - that candy cane looking tie - thank you! I loved it. My comps loved all the candy as well. Aleksi, those cupcakes were amazing. I love you and my companions all love you. "how old is your sister?" "Can I write her?" So they're writing 'thank yous' hahah but seriously - thanks sister. I forgot what real food tastes like. Haha, joking. Everyone complains about the food here. But it's seriously at least 7x better than UFs. So I'm happy. and the people that work in the cafeteria are waaay nice. They smile and say "enjoy your meal" which is sooo much better than the dirty looks and grunts from the UF workers.
So much happens every week and yet I have nothing to say. I did hear this really great quote today, I know mom will like it. Concerning missionary work "You can count all the seeds in an apple but you can't count all the apples in a seed" Sooo true. This week we had the BYU boys choir, excuse me -- mens* choir come and sing to us. like the LDS version of Glee haha. They sang some christmas songs, etc. but I liked they're "Little Drummer Boy" --- it wasn't as good as Dolly Parton's but it was close. Speaking of Dolly Parton -- Aleksi I got your CD buut bad news....it was cracked...so I'll never get to hear it. I also got the Morgan's Christmas CD - thank them for me - I'll send a thank you letter right after this email along with my chip of updated photos. So for christmas - for my district I was thinking of writing 100 things about our district - funny memories - quotes - relating everyone to a HP character, etc. etc. I have to be really creative because basically there's nothing I can buy them. Which brings me to you and to all my friends. I'm going to apoligize in advance. I know everyone was expecting a photoshopped photo or some other photo-related thing -- Cassie says that's all I give to people -- whatever....but it's looking like I'm not going to be able to do anything fancy gift wise. Which bums me out a little. I wanted to get you all something cool and unique but the MTC doesn't have much to offer.
I'm very happy and a little surprised the Logan's are meeting with the missionaries. When I was reading that I wanted to cry, I was so happy. I miss Elder Schmeil and Elder Mathews. I keep hoping I'll meet someone here like them...hasn't happened yet....
yes, Mom send me Pepere's info - I think that'd be so special to do his work. Unless dad wants to.
Ahhh! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA! I'm so sorry I can't be there to give you your birthday present - It's nothing big --- just SEASON 12 of gilmore girls, Cassie and I filmed it before I left. Since you'll probably never get to watch it here's what happens - Cassie plays Rory and I play her new long lost brother. We don't get along but we talk really fast and you have no idea what we're saying and then before you know it we're both laughing. And then Rory get's an A on her big test. and I have to move back to London. It's probably really good. So happy birthday to Emma.
Aleksi thank you sooo much for the cupcakes, seriously my comps and district loved them. I did too. Love you.
Dad and Mom thanks for all the packages - thanks for the Christmas package for my district - I know they'll be super grateful.
Cassie - keep 'em coming. That girl is...unique....bahaha. no really. but I love you.
Mitchell - Preparation days are stressful! guh! Laundry. Writing. Vomit!
I miss you family. Thank you for the continuous flow of letters and packages. Friends I miss you and I hope you ALL enjoy this Christmas time with your families.

I love you - Merry Christmas!
Love,

P.S. I forgot to mention how my district is HUFFLEPUFF. We live on the base floor - one floor below us - underground -aka Slytherin and two above us Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. We're all going to different places aka misfits aka leftovers aka hufflepuffs and we're all very different for example, I'm more of a hufflepuff-gryffindor where as Draper is more of a hufflepuff-slytherin. haha just kidding!
P.S.S
ALSO!! a HUGE thank you to Saf for the cupcakes as well!!! That was really thoughtful. Estoy muy agradecido! Gracias!!!
