 I don;t think I'll ever have to move in the Snow here, but it can get plenty hot. haha.

( I ask who he will be singing with at the mission christmas conference) Her name is Sister Bean. She;'s from southern California but attended BYU before. She's super fun. 
I got a really fancy toilet bowl scrubber from the swap shop. Haha. It's pretty cool. I'll take a pciture of it. ( I think for a white elephant gift)
Elder Felkins got to talk to people after the book of Mormon play that was showing in Ft. Lauderdale,. I ask him how it was).
The play thing is going well.  People leave everyday becasue it's so offensive and we're in south Florida. It's an interesting opportunity. A LOT differnt then taching in the Ghetto. haha. 
It's really fun to look for miracles in our lives, big and small.
I've been studying the words of O Holy Night becasue that;s what Sister Bean and I are singing. It's been so fun. I've pared scriptures from the Book of Mormon and the Bible to each line. It's given it a lot more meaning. It's hard to feel very Christmas-like when it is 88 degrees outside, but that has helped. I'm doing my best to feel the Christmas Spirit. It's so importnant to me, and even though it's hard, I wnat this Christmas to be special. 
This is my last week with Elder McMullin..we think...haha. Yu never know whith transfers. It's also my last week of training. That's wierd that I won't be green anymore. I've had a good time being his companion. There'll be a lot of changes made in our district next week. P-day will be on Tuesday again next week. 
Ronald got to go do baptims for the dead last week. He loved it so much! He said he didn;t want to leave and jst get dunked over and over and over and over. I lvoe him so much. He;s the greatest example of faith I've ever met in my whole life. 
I miss my viola so much. I wish so badly I could bring it, THat;s one of the hardest things here; being away from my viola.
One miracle from the week was a lady that we had dropped several months ago. She called us one day and wondered why we hadn't been by to pray with her in so loing. So we went and saw her and she said her life has been so hard the last few weeks. We were teaching her the third lesson in Chapter 3 of Preach my Gospel. When we were teaching about baptism, we hadn't gotten very far when she told us she needed to be baptized. It was before we could even invite her!!! We were so excited. She;s set to be baptized in 2 weeks.
I lveo you all!!! I hopeyou are having a great Christmas time!!
