Hola my Elder G!
I'm so excited to hear about your leadership training meeting and how your zone leader responsibilities are going. Are you teaching anyone right now? Tell me about it! How is your new comp (what is his name?) and how are your zone goals doing? Where did you finish up last week? I know you thought your zone did really well.
I was busy getting your Christmas package ready this week. I'm excited for you to get everything:) The delivery service flies down there on Dec 5th so you should have it just after that. I included one package that you can open right away. It has a few things to help you feel "christmasy" in your apartment. It also has an MP3 player in there with preloaded music, talks and a few recording messages from us:) Just make sure you follow the directions on the card I put in there. I'm going to give you money to get your scripture covers. Does they guy who makes them live there? I'm excited to see what you decide to do. I don't know if Grayson gave you ideas for his covers but I can tell you that he has a quad.
We had a great thanksgiving but missed you and Grayson soooooo much! Of course the meal was yummy.... I hope you had something better than old Guatemala mystery meat hot dogs for Thanks giving. I'm including some pictures.
I got sick this weekend so I'm sorry I didn't have your letter ready... and I'm short on writing today. I'm feeling pretty bad. I was hoping to get our Christmas tree up this weekend but I just couldn't get the energy to do it. Hopefully this week. I'm really working on getting Dad to put some outdoor lights up. We always have the sorriest house on the street when it comes to Christmas lights... so hopefully we'll get some up this week. I'm not doing too much to decorate since we will be going to Utah this year for Christmas. I'm going up on the 16th so I can be there for Karlee Winter's wedding at the Draper temple on the 17th. I met her fiancé and he's a really good guy. I'm happy for her!
I'm sure you're hearing from Dad and Gray that the Cowboys won again. There is a lot of buzz about the superbowl. And Tanner Mangum hurt himself in the last season game this weekend. That poor guy can't get through a season without injury. It's sad that he probably won't play in the bowl game... likely a broken forearm or dislocated elbow I think.
Elder Flygare's grandpa died this last week. I don't know if you've talked to him lately but I think things have been tough since he got home. His dad had a heart attack (but is alive and doing better now) and then his grandpa died.
Andrea Opfar is freaking out that Parker is going to Brazil because she thinks its so dangerous. And I'm like, please, it aint no Guatemala. hahaha. But we moms do worry. Please stay safe, my son!
That's about it for this week. I took Abby and her bf Cater to the zoo this week. We had a nice week with no school and seminary. We went to the Ft. Worth zoo and it brought back so many memories of you guys being little when we went there several times. I love you so much Sam! I hope you are having an amazing week and feel my prayers for you. The temple just opened back up again after being closed for 8 weeks so I'm anxious to get back there. I always put your name on the prayer rolls when I'm there. Constantly praying for your safety, success, growth and happiness. I love you infinity + infinity!
