Do you know what time you can Skype Christmas day?
I am not sure what time we Skype. But you might get a call on Skype or fact time so answer it. His name is Brother Neilson, that's where I am skyping. And he is thinking of doing face time but Ill let you know next week. Also, I need the username for Skype, it says ours but I don't remember what it is. Could you send me next week exactly what I need for Skype or Facetime. It might be on your ipad or iphone. I'm not sure.
Have you met with your mission president since you've been in your first area?
Yes I've met with him a few times.
Are you liking this area? are you meeting good people? how do you feel about Budville? I mean, do you like it and are the people willing to listen to you and are they nice?
I am loving this area. Yes, there are a ton of nice people out here none are actually too rude. I love this place a ton. It is really big but that is good. Ya the people are good and willing to listen to us.
What teaching opportunities have you had this week?
We got to have a few lessons this week and one was we got to have one lesson that was really interested in learning so we are putting our focus on him. And we are starting a seminary class in Tohajiilee with President Schapp so we might get to teach some lessons down there.
What have you learned about the birth of Jesus Christ? How has your testimony of this story grown?
With the birth of Jesus Christ I realized that we need to think of the birth all the time, really in the time of Christmas but just all the time it makes me feel more happy.
Do you have a favorite Christmas hymn? If so, what is it and why do you like it?
I am not sure if I have a favorite hymn but I like the one that says For unto us a Christ is born. I like it because it talks all about what he is the prince of peace is my favorite.
Did you get your Christmas/birthday package yet? There is another one coming from the ward but I won't mail it until Monday.
I have not got it yet but during Christmas it gets really slow but I'll get it. Also, I am sending you one too, but it is not a whole lot.
Do you help a lot in the branch on Sundays? Like do you help with the sacrament, or speak in sacrament meeting or anything like that? Do you still go to two sacrament meetings?
With the branch I pass every time and have only spoken once. But I bless the sacrament in Tohajiilee so ya we do help a lot. Ya two meetings.
Is there anything else you want to tell us about your week? Or anything else?
One thing I could tell you is that everyone down here calls me "wagira". that means cowboy in the keres language so that's what I am called. I like it. Also down here they have a huge party for their children when they turn 1. We got invited to one by a nonmember and they had a live band and were playing old country western music. We ate and talked to some people. We got asked to dance a bunch of times but we had to shoot them down.
Tell Tasha I say hi back. And Christian was there at church? No way! That is amazing! Yes, I'll send him my testimony. I really like Heleman 5 too. There is a lot of power in it.
It is really good to hear that you all are doing well. Hope you all have a really good week. Thank you so much for the prayers, they mean a lot to me. I love it. Have a great week.
Elder Reiley
