Hi Dallin! *****What is your neck size?

How was your week?  How did your talk go? Did you get to spend any time with Elder Clarke? That must have been a great experience. Tell us all about it.  How are the other missionaries in your district? Did you have a good Thanksgiving?  Dad did hospital visits with Jordan and ended up giving two blessings.  Good service.  The blessings were to the family attending an inactive gentleman who had just had both of his legs amputated.  I ended up doing her laundry for her.  It was a good experience.  I then proceeded to overcook the turkey, but we still had a good dinner.

We have Chels and Jordan still here.  Vance is promising Grandpa that he will stay one more night:)  They go home tomorrow. He can sing all the Disney songs-at the top of his lungs :)  We love it.

It snowed a few inches last night and it is so beautiful.

Is it harder to be in a smaller area?  How is your apartment?

We are still praying for Scott Manwaring.  He goes into brain tumor removal surgery tomorrow.  The tumor is quite large but operable.  Keep him in your prayers.

Dad is keeping Mason busy at work.  We went to Hawthorne Ward yesterday to hear Mason, Aaron, and Joseph speak.  It was really nice to go back to the old ward but and truly love the Lake Hills Ward.  We have lots of energy and missionary spirit. We have the sisters and they bring a great spirit.  

Do you think you can get on Google plus and sign up for "circles"?  That way we can all talk to you at Christmas. Look into it.  

Well, I hope you are having a great time and a good P-day.  Are you exercising?  Did you get my package--

I expect all these questions to be answered!! 

I love you!  Dad says Hi-

Mom

Hey Mom!

So you began and ended your email with FAT questions! :) I know that I am not photogenic, but its like I told Chels, I have actually lost weight. I work out every morning. I will have to work harder here in the dirty burg because we don't play bball as much. My neck size is 16, but I already got new shirts from mish mall. I do need garments though medium cotton poly boxer not briefs :). Our apartment is sweet. It was built some time in the 40's and its really long with high ceilings. I can zing one of my finger rockets Mary sent me and nail my companion all the way across the place ha. I got your package! Thank you so much! The pomegranates were bad, but I have to confess I was so excited I ate them anyway...irritable bowel syndrome :). The Google thing I will do. Not sure if there are members here that we can skype at yet. 

==Questions for you: has my account made any investment money? Did the guitar strings get loosened? 
What are you studying in the BOM? 

My week was amazing. We taught 17 lessons last week and ALL of them showed progression. Deela said she has had several spiritual experiences and plans to be baptized for sure. Her mom wants to quit smoking, so we are teaching her the workshop today. We are teaching a Korean foreign exchange student named Song Joo. The Porters, who also fed us thanksgiving, are housing her. They are an awesome crazy family. The district is doing well. We haven't had a district meeting in a couple weeks because of other meetings, but we have a great relationship because I get to help them over the phone. 

 The mission tour with Elder Clarke was so informative. They called on me to open up the meeting. That was nerve racking. I was prepared though and the spirit carried my words I think. I didn't spend a ton of time with Elder Clarke, but he is effective at training missionaries.  

I started a new Book of Mormon with categorized highlighting! I am learning so much. Just 1st nephi has sooo much info in it, like all the types of revelation, nature of Gods, attributes of Christ and so forth. I love this work. I know that God's hand is in the details of every soul I meet. I love the Savior so much. 

I love you
