Another week passes. Last week was fairly good with Christmas conference and such. The conference had a couple of songs, talks from President-assistants-counselors and so on. They were all very excellent, exspecially President Clevelands on humility. After that spiritual section we had lunch and watched a funny video made by some missionaries. Then we had bingo and other little games like that. To finish we had a talent show with was pretty good and funny, and then we received the packages from the mail (to be refered to later). The night ended with Elder Latu nearly falling asleep at the wheel and us eating mcdonalds that night. So overall pretty good.
We also had a Christmas sunday program which while very small was very cute and nice (total members 30, total who show up/are in area 15-20). The highlight of sunday though is eating at the Hortons house (branch president), they are kind of like the temporary family I got out here.
In reference to packages I received two from Nicole with the snowman and Christmas, I received the two boxes that say Christmas from mom and dad and the one with my blanket(thank you so much). Along with the boxes came mail from mexico that I didn't get in time. Also a box from Mrs. Jamie Bryan you will have to tell her I love her so much for that. I love you guys so much for all that you have done. It truly makes a mission easier with the love and support from family.
Also I guess I never mentioned this but here is a average day for me. Wake up before six and go to YMCA (bishop cramer runs it) and work out for a hour. Go home shower, eat, prepare for morning studies. Personal study (scriptures, preach my gospel), companion studies (lesson prep/training) and if there is time language. After that we will sometimes take a break if we have no appointments, which often we don't. Then we usually go track, teach, do listing, other paperwork, check on members, etc. Around six unless we have a dinner we take another break(by that time its so dang dark President doesn't want us out) then we have a few options of another companion study, language study, lesson, check on members, or a little family history to finish the night. Go home at 9, plan for the next day, and then that's it.
But this week will hopefully be busy with Christmas and New year rolling around the corner, hopefully. I don't think I have missed anything.
Except my love for my family and friends who I miss more than anything. You guys both help to make Christmas easy and hard for me. I love you and I will see you soon.
Sincerely from brother, friend, relations, someone you met on the street, son, Elder Ryan James Trapp
