I guess I just feel like I should spend more time writing. Hmm, yup and I also have some requests. Sorry, soy chiflada.
Pero. For Christmas I want snow.
Cause
it's kinda weird to see all the lights without any snow. It is cold
enough to be Christmas, and the lights and songs help with it, but the
lack of snow is kinda throwing me off. And it periodically warms up and
doesnt fell like December at all. Oh and we received some news which
leads me to wish I brought some things with me. . . There is a box in
the shed that is labeled as the last box I packed up which I contains
things that I thought I might at some point request to have sent to me,
and I was right. I was hoping that I wouldn't need to request anything
cause I don't like the idea of anyone having to look through my things
to find what I want, but I hope I made it easier for it to happen.
But we are allowed to
listen to any Christmas music-with wisdom- so I had a sing along disney
christmas cd, the thing with that one is that I don't know if I thought
enough to put it in that box, so if you happen to find it it'd be great
and if not that's okay. But if you want to send any Christmas music, or
mormon tabernacle choir music, I would not turn it down.
We also learned that we
can read any gospel based book, so there are two books I am thinking of,
and I'm pretty sure I put them in that box, but one is the Increase in
Learning by Elder Bednar, and the other is the brownish one with the
compass on it which is very similar in size.
If you happen to come across my sweatpants, my BYUI shorts, and my wool socks, I would appreciate them.
If you find an extra copy of the cd about patriarcal blessings by President Pinegar, I'd love it.
A few more things I
requested before is a personal progress book, the colored led for my
scripture marking pencil (especially yellow and all other colors) and of
course lots of letters.
Oh, I think its called "the pocket reference guide for missionaries", if you can find a copy of that book, It would be awesome!
Hmm, yup sorry I'm a little stink head.
Oh, but I got funny
stories. We were thinking the other day, it started because there is an
Elder Dance in our zone, and we realized that there are nine elders in
our zone, and there are nine reindeer. So we wrote them all down and
matched up which elder went to which deer and we know have some
Christmas nicknames for them. He He, it's kinda fun.
There are 13 in our zone,
we had 12 but then we got another elder that was reassigned to this
mission. But the zone leaders have dubbed us the dirty dozen. And have a
"sign/signal" for it as well. you make it by making a peace sign with
one hand, and with the other you put your two fingers (the ones you
count one and two with) on the tips of the peace fingers, and then the
thumb at the base of the peace finger and the number three finger at the
base of the other peace finger. it makes two D's and is the "Dirty
Dozen" Edinburg Zone. Yup, they were trying to get me to do it (the
sign), but you know me, I wasn't gonna do it just because they wanted me
to do it so bad. 
But,
yup. I told them it was like the secret signs and combinations of the
gadianton robbers, and they tried making it a commitment for me to do
it, but my companion backed me up saying they'd have to make legit
promises for it to be a commitment.
Okay, and as the "dirty
dozen" we all went to support the baptism of one of the companionships.
And with that, I got a question. Are all Elders weird everywhere? or is
it only the ones that end up being in my zone? Cause Elder Dance and
Elder Pederson (the elders that had the baptism) Had a baptism
celebration dance in the parking lot. (this was after the Christmas
Devotional because the baptism was just before) They turned on the music
in their car and started dancing to it.
So I want to hear about stories where there are crazy missionaries outside of my zone.
I love you all sooo much!
Kaylee! Congradulations! I am going to be sending you a letter soon.
Con Amor, Hermana NJ Nielson.
