12/25/2013

ok so I don't have as much time as I though only 20 minutes right now.. but I hope all of you back home (mom, dad, Ashley, Katelynn, Bridger, Grandpa Ostler, and Everybody else!) are doing good. I want you to know that I pray for you everyday, and I want you all to be proud of me so im working really hard. I miss you all and wish that I could be with you during this time.. but I have your picture hanging up on my desk and I think about all of you everyday :). Plus I know that this is the right thing for me to be doing and I know that it will bless my life and the life of my family more than we can even imagine. I hope you are noticing those blessings in your lives because I know that they are there.
 
This whole week was awesome! At the same time it was a wake up call because I only have 3 weeks left and I do not know even close to enough Chinese and Im still working on getting my general lesson plans together. I know I will never feel totally prepared but I want to work even harder these next weeks to be able to be as prepared as possible!!
 
I don't remember if I told you or not but we did a big huge secret santa thing for every single mandarin speaker and for our teachers and several other people!! It was a great feeling and I really loved it. So much joy and happiness can be brought into someones life from just a small thoughtful gift, maybe it is only your presence, just being someone to talk to. I know its Christmas, but there is always more time to improve and the holday season wont be over for a little while. so I would encourage all of you to try to look for ways that you can help other people! Make that one of your new years resolutions, to help atleast one other person a day :)

Love all of you!! hope you get my letter soon!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Thinking about all of you all of the time! Enjoy your presents!! Im going to open mine later today!! LOVE YOU
 
Love Elder Landon Lloyd Ostler
 
p.s. I have a really small part of the Christmas day talent show where Im helping a fellow magician with some of his tricks :) just thought you might want to know
