Well Hola Familia!

Man this past week has been super crazy! Christmas time is always fun and full of the spirit,m but its always nice when its over for missionaries, because then we can get back to focusing on why we are out here and what we need to be doing, because Christmas is way fun, but it is very very distracting.

On Monday, we had our normal p-day, played a lot of basketball and had a lot of fun. Then after that we went back and got ready to go out and work, The Assistants to the President were at the house trying to find someone to go out with them so they could go and teach one of their investigators that was a single lady. I volunteered to go out with them so instead of going out and working with the zone leaders for the night i went out with the Assistants, haha and the funnier part of that was that that night they were going on exchanges with the zone leaders in Kennewick East zone and so i got to go on exchanges with................ELDER BARNES, MY TRAINER!!!! I was so excited to see him again, haha we talked about past areas and how we were doing, and as it turns out, Elder Adling the assistant that we were with was Elder Barnes previous companion so we had a great time that night. WE went and shared a Christmas message with a couple of the families in Elder Adlings area and then we had to head back because it was time to exchange back. But that was a way fun night.

Tuesday, We had Elder Maughan's last District meeting it was a great one we had a Christmas message, it was kind of sad but really good. Then after that we were able to go to the ARC and help them out with their Christmas party, we were serving them food the whole time and played a couple of games and had a great time! Then we had dinner with the Pescasio's (a recent convert family) and The Robinsons and the Robertsons, it was way fun and they ended up giving us SO MUCH STUFF!! The ward gave us a huge box full of goodies, and three huge stockings! IT was the best thing ever! Then we went caroling and that is always fun haha. It was a good day!.

Wednesday, We had a Priesthood leadership meeting, it was so great we talked about how the District and Zone leaders need to be stepping things up and start to preform better and do things better for our Zones and Districts. It was such a great meeting i learned so much from it! Then we had District meeting, that was great we talked about the true meaning about Christmas and about the things that President Ware wants us to work on in our District's. It was a great meeting. Then we went and tried by a few people, then we had a couple of dinners with some families and then went and vistied with a family that wanted us to come over on christmas eve.

Thursday, Well it was Christmas so we didn't do a whole lot, We opened presents then we went over to a members house who's son is home from his mission who served in Elder Nelsons ward back home so that was way cool, then we went and hung out with Ben and Madi for a bit then we went over to the Pescasio's and Skyped, no mattter how many times i  do it, it will forever be awkward haha it was good though. Then we had a great dinner and talked with them all night. TI was a fun Christmas

Friday, We had Weekly Planning, all day, because we had to plan for three areas so that was fun, then we just tried by a bunch of people so that was good.

Saturday, we tried by a whole bunch of people, Then we got Transfer Calls, Elder Nelson is going to Walla Walla and Elder Palmer and I are staying, I am getting Elder Stef, he is from Canada and is pretty new so that will be really fun and it will be a great next transfer!
