Hello family and friends, 

       First of all merry christmas!! So my new area is pretty awesome. Its this small town in this valley between these two mountians/hills. Its a really pretty area. We are already seeing success and we are just opening this area kinda. We just started teaching this family of a single mom with 3 sons ranging from 13-7. We just had our first lesson with them yesterday and they were super receptive and super prepared. The lord has truly prepared this family and will hopefully be ready to get baptized in a month or two. So my favorite person so far that you will be hearing about a lot is bro. W. He is a member and has a son who is 9. He is divorced and live on his own with his son. He is as of now entering surgery on his back and will have to chill on the coach for two weeks. But he cant do a lot of physical stuff because of his back so we go and help him out all the time. He is in a very humble situation but he is seriously the coolest guy ever. The best way i can describe him is a jacked santa clause. He is super cool and has done some awesome things with his life but has recently over the past few years had some setbacks. But he is awesome and we really love being around him and helping us out. Anyway we are staying in a house just off the main road. It's a pretty good size house with 2 bedrooms a big kitchen and living room. And best of all a freakin creepy basement, like seriously i will send a picture of it one of these days but just take my word for it. And right now ( mom dont read this ) we have like literally no food in our house ha. We are both visa waiters and the way things played out with how we get money and stuff. Neither of us have had any money since last week. And dont have any money to go shoppong today. We are now out of the few eggs we had and now we will be having rice and stir fry in very humble portions until we can have money. The bright side is that the members here are insane and give us an insane amount of like steak ribs and of course potatoes. So we have a great dinnner everyday. And there is a cool diner in town that is member owned so we get 50% off and free ice cream. So yeah thats pretty nice because we can eat a huge meal for like 4 bucks. But anyway everything is going great and i am super excited. This area is awesome and i can feel that there are a bunch of people here ready to listen. I love you all and i hope everything is going great back home and merry christmas!!
