something or other - Dec. 16, 2004


Dear Family, I don't know what to write this week.  I hope that you've recieved my Christmas present:-), it is a cool one.  If not it will come soon.  This week has been, to put it mildly, very tough.  My companion is way tougher than Elder Stokes ever was.  I think I'm gaining a new understanding of people.  Also I can't stand people who are uptight, maybe its because I'm so relaxed, bordering on lazy(or maybe just lazy).  It is a tough one for me.  Elder Reedy who was in my zone last transfer eluded to people like this, but I didn't think it possible.  The other day I was in bed until 6:32 and he got mad at me.  I try to shrug it off, but it is hard.  We had interviews with President Ashton yesterday and he told me that he knows its tough, but if I do my best for the next 5 weeks, he'll give me a companion that I'll get along better with.  He also said that I should learn this area like it will be mine for a while.  Which would be nice.  Anyway, enough complaining, this area is a great one.  The people are always nice when we're tracting.  We can usually get at least one good contact a day, the ward is a little weird though.  There should be a lot of good work coming out of the part-member families though, it looks really promising.  I'll keep you informed.  It is wierd being at the bottom of the mission.  It feels like an invisible wall, right on 80th street.  You can see almost all of the big buildings in Seattle, but you can't go to them.  Maybe when I'm done I'll have to come back up.  It is fun though. Other than that this week has been the usual get to know everyone period.  Still don't know many of them, but at least I can find my way around, don't get lost near as often.  I do miss you all, maybe this week more than most, and I love you with all of my heart,  you have a wonderful week and I'll talk to you on Christmas. Bye!
