I was looking back through some previous letters that you have sent and was looking for questions that I hadn't answered yet, so here they are:
-People who have influenced me to be where I am now: You (mom), Dad, Bro. Stewart, Bro. Chalmers, Bro. Taylor, Bishop Galbraith, Bishop Bean, Keegan, Taylor, all aunts and uncles.
-Yes, we have Walmart here, and it is a SuperWalmart. I normally eat at restaurants like McDonalds and Wendy's. This week we ate at Red Lobster and it was so good, and some mystery person paid our bill, so we got like $100 worth of food for free.
-Christmas: Don't send things like nerf guns, they will just be left behind whenever I'm transfered. President doesn't want us having games and stuff. I don't know what treats I would like. Maybe you could send some easy recipes that have variety, because I need to eat better. I just get a bunch of junk food. haha. A couple pair of garments would be nice and some music.
-Don't send any books, we are not allowed to have any that are not in the missionary library. Someone left "Jesus the Christ" and "Our Search for Happiness" out here, so I have those. We also have transfers on the 10th, but I won't know if I'm being transfered till the 7th, so I'll let you know next Monday for sure.
-If I were to send back my Ipod sometime, would you or dad or someone be able to put all the new Bible videos and other Church Message videos on it for me?
-Well, this last week was great. It dropped to a low of 48 degrees in the morning on Thanksgiving and it felt so nice. Everyone else was wearing sweaters and jackets, but I thought if felt so good. Thanksgiving just felt like another day, except we ate a ton of food. The Arsenaults (who we baptized in August) had us over for lunch and another member in the ward, had us over for dinner, and that was all we did all day. It was kind of nice to relax and just visit with people. The family that we went to for dinner, has a son named Brady and he is a little genius. He is 11 years old, and he was asking all of these questions about the Book of Revelations and things about ancient Egyptian writing. None of which was really necessary or important to know, but it was fun. We haven't had that much going on in our area right now since we've stopped tracting and we have to work with the members in finding people to teach. It's just been tough trying to get the members going, but it's picking up a little. We've found a bunch of people to teach, but for some reason, we always have to hand them over to the sister missionaries because they live in their boundaries. So, we've just been trying to find people we can work with, but it's been fun. I still feel really inadequate when I teach. I wish I was a better speaker, but oh well, I guess it will just come over time, hopefully. Things are great here and I'm learning all the time. I wish I could just study the scriptures all day long. It seems like 2 hours int he morning just isn't enough. I hope that your week goes well with work and at home. Love you.
Love,
Elder A. Whaley
