Dreaming of a white Christmas!

I'm dreaming of a white christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Please send snow, and investigators, and presents under the treeeeeee.

Haha hey everyone! sup?

Ok I am gonna tell you all about my week, REady??

I was sick.

and that's all.

I really was sick all week, I got a stomach flu that has been going around I suppose, so I came to know the bathroom wall and the ceiling above my bed quite well. We are now good friends.

I am getting better now. No worries. It's quite ironic, we had the most investigators in church that we have ever had, 4! and the highest attendance, 104! and a bunch of less actives. super ironic that the week we don't work we have the most success....

The family alvarenga, (the family of marcelo) I don't know what happened. They haven't been to church in weeks. They were soo good!! We gotta get marcelo baptized, then his siblings, then their mom. just one more attendance for marcelo!!

Our 4 investigators that did come are cleto and his wife nelida, a couple about 45 years old, their 16 year old son and his cousin. The couple have 3 attendances, and they are incredible. We are going to teach them every day this week, get them married on saturday and baptize them right after. They are great. We have hardly taught them anything, because of being sick and such, so we go work to do with them! But they are solid. Reference from a less active brother we are working with, hopefully they can boost each other and both get to the temple! solid!!

Skype this christmas!! I am pretty sure we are going to call on christmas day, but I am not sure what time yet. so email me what skype account or whatever I need to do to be able to call for christmas. Thanks, can't wait! Btw, I sent a letter home for christmas, I hope you all will get it by then.

Ok, so I realize that the bowl games are coming up soon, so here are my picks.
for me, pick the team whose campus is the closest to the location of the actual bowl game. But all teams from utah trump, I vote for Utah, Byu, utah state, and team from utah who makes it.
Thank you.

Ok so here are my guesses for what my presents are based on the scriptures that I was given as a hint.
matt 4 19 swedish fish
2 ne 17 20 razor
d and c 1 38 new era
d and c 29 39 candy
d and c 82 14 through 15 duct tape
dand c 84 109 slippers or socks
matt 25 35 food or candy
2 ne 13 6 clothes

That is all. Wow I am done early this week... I didn't have very much to write I suppose. 

I am emailing matt fletcher! I guess he is getting rained on and doesn't speak laotian very much. shame. my homecoming testimony is gonna sound cooler than his!! haha just kidding, but serious, I want to be able to bear my testimony in Guarani. and pray at least. That would be the bees knees.

Next transfer will be in 2 weeks, and I most likely will get a new companion. I might even have to train, which will be scary if that happens! But hey, I decided that if I train I am gonna great my kid (missionary I will train) and convince him that I am from scotland. I just wanna convince someone that I am from scotland. What's the capital of scotland? I gotta know these facts to pull it off. I can't just keep saying homeland. But yeah, maybe I will just only speak in a scottish accent whenever I speak in English from now on. That'd be fun. We'll see.

Well yall are just great, thanks for all your support! love you all!

Until next time, christmas eves eve. I hope it snows enough for you all to make a snowmissionary. just an idea kevin, mckay, and alex.

love elder jake
