December 29th 2013

This week

Monday, My companion is doing a lot better after resting for a few days. MONO hits you pretty hard. nothing too big happened, I actually dont like p-days that much, theres no order to it and that makes it hard.. plus we have a lot of free time but nothing to do but read and write... but its a great time to get some studying done.

Tuesday, we went and sang a christmas song to our teacher today and gave her present to her. She said it made her cry and that she thinks about us all of the time and how we help her to be happy when she is feeling down. Everyone was really happy today and our whole district was singing Christmas carols and being very happy. We got to watch Mr. Krugers Christmas and it was really fun :)

Christmas Day!!!! got to email for a little today and that was nice, I would almost like just a little time everyday but i could see how it could be distracting. The Elder who i was helping do the magic show did amazing!! he is so good and the entire audience stood and clapped for him! it was the best act of the talent show! My companion also played charlie brown while laying on the piano bench. He is really good. We helped our friend Gale move the piano like 3 times.. its a pain but i love doing service and she is so nice :)! 

Elder Bednar came and spoke to us! they passed out cell phones to everyone and they could all send in questions to ask him and he would answer them right then and there. some of the answers were; The atonement has both cleansing and strengthening power and we need to use both!! Apostles are still subject to temptations just like we are. (I am understanding more and more that apostles and even the prophet are just people, but they are called to do more than a mortal man can, just like me :)). There were a lot more and ill try to send more in my next letter! 

I love all of my Christmas presents, especially my ramen and beef jerky!! we also got to watch the MOTAB sing their 2012 Christmas presentation. It was a great day!

Thursday and Friday, Its so weird that the Elders ahead of us are leaving already!! we only have 2 weeks.. haha so crazy!! it really hit hard this weekend!

Saturday and Sun, Our TRC went great and so did our lessons, not much to talk about though. Sunday was awesome and we had a great temple walk with everyone!

Thats one more week down and 2 to go!! cant wait to get out there!

Love,

Elder Ostler
