On Christmas I believe I will be calling you, I'm not sure what time probably around afternoon time so just be prepared all day for the call. I am sure I will be skyping. I can't believe that it is already Christmas time, it doesn't feel like it at all. Everyone has their Christmas lights up and everything, but there's no snow. Today it is raining and it feels like spring time.
That is so awesome that there was another chili's night, how did that go? I did get the pictures from Christian they were pretty sweet. its so weird to see everyone, but it was way cool. That's awesome that Wyatt got a truck, what kind of truck is it? is he still working at discount?
So Everything is going pretty well around here. We are staying busy for the most part. All the people we are trying to teach want to meet at the beginning of the year, so January is going to be pretty busy. We have been doing a lot of the same stuff trying to find more people to teach. We have also been spending a lot of time with the members helping them with their missionary work. On Saturday I did another Baptismal interview, It was a good interview, but I couldn't finish it because the person answered yes to one of the questions so they have to talk to someone from the mission presidency to finish the interview. It was an interesting experience because I didn't know what to say but I opened my mouth and words came out, it was really cool. That's basically all that has been going on. Nothing to exciting. But I get to talk to you in 1 one! Have a great week! Love You!

Week 44- December 11 2012
Well I did not get transferred which is not a surprise. I think I am going to be here for a while longer, since my companion goes home a week after Christmas, that is going to be weird, I am probably going to be put into a tripanionship with some other Elders in the district.
Everything is going pretty good, it has been tough, because my companion is going home soon and he is slowing down. I fell like I am doing mostly everything and he's just there, but I am trying to help him with the last 4 weeks. We are staying busy for the most part. We have been doing a lot of visiting
. We still haven't been teaching to much, but it is starting to pick up. Last week we picked up a new investigator. We contacted her on the street and she said that she wanted to have us back so for 6 weeks we were trying to get over there, but ever time we did, she was never home. This past week we stopped by and we taught her about the Book of Mormon on her front porch and we gave her a copy and she said she was going to start reading it and we will hopefully be going back there sometime this week to have a more in depth lesson with her.
Friday night Ladera had like a huge town Christmas party thing. It was pretty intense, there was concerts and crafts and hot chocolate and Santa was there and they had a Christmas tree lighting it was quick the party. I'm pretty sure most of the town was there. It was pretty cool because we just walked around and talked to people and took pictures for other people. We definitely got noticed there. Saturday I did 2 baptismal interviews for the Zone leaders. Both of the interviews were just over an hour. I was definitely all talked out after that. It was cool to hear about their testimonies, and how they gained it. It is really cool to get to do that.
That's funny that you guys laughed at that picture, it was pretty funny. That's really cool that the Christmas party went well. Yes I did get a present from Bre, but I haven't opened it yet, I will get to it eventually, Probably on Christmas. Christmas is going to be a busy day, there have been so many families that have come up to us and invited us over. As of now we have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner appointment and one other visit. It is going to be a cool day.

Week 43- Dec 4
Everything is going pretty well. Don't worry about not sending me anything, emails are good enough. Whenever you get it sent is fine, I'm not worried at all. That is so cool that you guys all helped out with the fundraiser, its so great to see how much everyone is for them. That's pretty crazy that we got another new bishopric, but I knew it was going to happen, I even knew it was going to happen yesterday, Because I checked the ward bulletin online. That's a pretty cool new bishopric.
I can't believe it is already December time has just flown by, its incredible. I am excited for this month, because everything is centered around Christ and everyone is spending time with their family. There are some pretty cool things that we are doing to find people to teach. We are trying to share the Christmas story with everyone. Also the church is doing a Christmas campaign on Mormon.org/Christmas its pretty cool so we are sending people there also. you should check it out.
This past week has been pretty good, It has been a busy/slow week. We haven't been teaching to much so we have been doing a lot of visit and knocking empty doors. It has been a learning experience for me trying to find things to do. We have started to try to do things a little bit differently so hopefully things will come about from them. transfers is a week from today, but I think I will be staying here, but anything can happen so we will just have to see. My companion goes home just a couple weeks into the nest transfer so he is pretty close to being done, and you can definitely tell, he is ready to go.
Last week we helped a family move, so that was pretty fun, they didn't want to many people in the ward to hear about it so they called the Missionaries. They are a cool family. It was pretty funny, because they only moved up the street a little ways. on Sunday the husband of the family that was baptized a couple weeks ago passed the sacrament. It was so cool to see that. It has rained a little bit here the past couple of days so that was pretty fun to walk around in the rain. It has been pretty funny because when we talk with people they ask us if we are cold because its like 60 degrees and we are walking around in short sleeve shirts so we have to explain to them that we're from Utah and it feels good.
That's basically been the week nothing to exciting, but staying busy just workin along. Thanks for everything Mom! I Love You! Have a great week!
Love, Elder RINDLISBACHER
