The phone rang at 8am and it was Steven. They have two feet of snow and he's unable to drive the mission car. They have to walk everywhere. He said they hadn't plowed his street. So that's why no e-mail this week. Yes, Virginia does have snow plows but they're not like Utah's. They were going to a members house for Christmas. They people they live with had a new baby and the mom had come home on Christmas Eve. I can't think of other things to tell about. A little about plans for going to get him in March. We agreed that I can be the excited one for him to come home and he'll keep working hard. Great to talk to him!

well now to explain the pitcure with the dolls. theres a member here who collects them and has them on the back of the couch. so she told us if there feet bg you move them. so we joked around and took some pitcures with us holding them. so thats the story behind it. the other picture of me is cutting an onion. i love onions. i like them more raw though. but still good. i've heard the packages are in, but we live about 8-10 miles from the post office and everytime weve been in the area it's closed. but should be able to get it today. well as far as i know the rules with picking me up is, that ill be going in on the 23 to the mission home and then the next day is when you fly out. so not sure with everything so probably safe to say email pres. millburn. he'll be sure to answer that, or you could call the mission office and call sis. smedley and she should be able to answer any questions.
sunday was crazy for us here as well. we woke up to a little bit of ice from the night before. we had a small ice storm, but we had church. so everyone was happy. but heard snow is in the forecast again. defiantly wetter this year. we also had the branch christmas party this week as well. it was fun.
yes i also got the wedding announcemnt for brett as well. also another funny story. there two missionaries out that are companions right now, one is elder bronson and he's from tremonten. he also knows chad, and the other is an elder simpson, from blanding, and knows robby. small world huh.
so thurdays we taught jason and tabby's nephew jacob, and he's know set for the 9th of january. his mom is a member and he's been wanting to be baptized for a few years now, but he mom has been holding him back, but know she has agreed. it been crazy to see everything unfolding there. jason's parents are active, but have struggled to overcome smoking, and thats been keeping them from the temple, and right now the whole fmaily are striving to go to the temple. so it's been amazing to see the family come together like that. it's been great. then yesterday we had our christmas mission confernce. it was fun seeing alot of familiar faces. it was a blast. wwell don't know to much more to share. but i quess well talk to you later. take care and have fun.

The internet was down at the library and we didn't get an e-mail from STeven this week. We did get a short note with pictures. Maybe I can get Tiff to help me post them. We did hear from President Milburn. Steven will be released March 23, 2010. Wahoo!

hey everyone. this week has been great. also sounds like you did as well. well ill defiantly keep an eye out for the package. I don't think i will be sending one home this year. not much around here to send. sorry, but i am thinking about sending christmas cards so just letting you know. i can't remember if you said anything or not, but where did Liz serve her mission. bytheway did kate get the birthday card i sent her. hope she likes it wasn't much to good around here.
yeah i heard about the BYU and Utah game. jason rogers is a big football fan so elder karpowitz every saturday night asks for an update on scores. and sunday too. are you sure it was zack tghat heard his date, because i would think it would have been nick but then again i might be different for england.
thanksgiving was a blast. we spent the whole day at the lewis's and it was fun. it defiantly felt like it was a thanksgiving at the stringhams. there a very fun family. we had a football game there and it was fun. we won. we beat them by 20 points. my favorite play in that game was the ball got thrown to me and it looked like i was going to miss it but i got it at the very edge of the ball. i don't know how i caught it. but it was a touchdown so it was good. then we played a bunch of board games it was good. then on monday we went on exchnages with Scotchtown. it was pretty fun, went all the way up to a small town called bowling green. it was very intersting. we also saw kings dominion which is a big theme park, we drove by. it was pretty fun.
well thats it for this week. things have been going well. i quess i'll talk to you in 23 days. well take care and have fun. also i heard that we might be getting snow this weekend. if thats the case everything will shutdown, and hopefully they will still let us go out. well take care and have fun.
