What's happening!? There's so many exciting things happening for all of you!
Mom and Dad - So cool that you are all moved in and that everything is going well. I am happy to see you are repainting some of the walls. As beautiful as mustard yellow is I think the color you chose will look very nice! Also super cool that you are going to see elder Merrills parents tonight! Be sure to take and send pictures. :) Most of all I'm so happy to know that you have already seen the blessing of moving closer to family. It looks like you have been able to spend some much needed quality time with them!
Cam and Shirley - Shirley you're huge! In a cute way! That baby is so big. I guess I hadn't seen a good picture of you yet until the last one you sent, but I couldn't help just screaming "Woah! She's so pregnant!" Definitely got some weird looks from the people in Dennys but it made me smile. Let me tell you how excited I am to be an uncle. I feel like there's a lot of responsibility being an uncle. I can only imagine how you both feel with being new parents soon. You will see so many miracles and blessings from God as you lead your family in righteousness.
Chloe - Super bien que tienes este nuevo trabajo! Espero que tenga éxito en este tiempo! I don't know how to speak Portuguese so I used Spanish which is the closets I could get. But I really hope you enjoy this new experience and time to learn and grow. I also think it's cool you can use your language ability to find work, that's sweet!
So nothing's really changing with me! I haven't been buying any new cars or houses like you all have been. Arkansas is so amazing but I don't think I will be expecting a white Christmas :). I think one of the biggest Christmas Miracles I see is the way that people open their hearts to the spirit of Christmas and turn to God in this special time of the year. Missionary work becomes so natural with everyone because we are all celebrating Jesus Christ, who is at the center of our message!
Some fun pictures for all of you this week!
Got to enjoy Denny's, which is one of my favorite cheap places to eat. $4 all you can eat pancakes is definitely a miracle.
Picture of elder Merrill and I at a branch Christmas party we had! Hispanics definitely know how to throw a good party
Some of may favorite selection of the MASSIVE wall of candles they have at the stores here. They believe that if you light them and pray you will receive the things on them. Not sure why anyone would want to light Golden Death.... That one I don't understand...
That's all I have for this week but have an amazing Christmas and I can't wait to hear from and email all of you on Christmas! I also am excited to Skype you all! I think the time that would work best is 12 noon on Christmas day! That should be 11 am in Utah and sometime around 7 in Germany right? Correct me if I'm wrong but 12 noon my time would be great :). I won't have a lot of time, only around 30 - 40 min so come prepared haha! I know mom will have her list of things to talk about :) that's my favorite.
Love you all!
Elder Anderson
