So far I have only gotten your packages. The other stuff you mentioned hasn't come. :p  if you can, please put my yap address on Facebook and my blog so that people have the right address. I think its funny that you got that calling. Something I am learning out here is that the lord really does answer prayers another thing is that there is always time for doing what pleases the lord. The reason a lot of our investigators stop progressing is because they don't make time for what matters. I am not exempt I need to prioritize because when I do the rest of the day goes better. besides it's really his time anyways. I loved hearing from you guys I'm gonna try to send off the package today hopefully it reaches home. Sorry there's no Christmas pictures... I put them on before Christmas and now the computer wont work. Surprise, surprise. after the typhoon knocked down our awesome palm leaf tree we had to buy a tiny 2 ft. tree. Christmas was awesome though :) Sister t. and I cooked all day for Christmas dinner (because sister Strother isn't feeling so dandy. they think it's kidney stones) At night we all ate and had district meeting. (thanks for the candy canes by the way. be used those on the brownies sister Whipple (the sister I replaced) sent us. After district meeting we did a gift exchange and a white elephant. Sis. T. got my name ironically. she gave me a shirt and 2 Chuukese combs. I love those things. I had elder Mott and elder Mackie. I just got them little Japanese treats and toys. ( a Nerf gun thing and a cardboard basket ball hoop. and they both got those blowup bouncy balls that are always in Walmart) The white elephant was hilarious. like 4 p-days ago The Tamil elders gave me a giant conch spray painted red for no reason. when they gave it to us i just looked at it like "...What the heck..." they were both laughing and they said "to remember the Tamil elders." I'm pretty sure it was just cluttering their apartment. So for the gift exchange, I wrapped it up wit a can of Vienna sausage and put a bow on it :) The funniest part was that elder Roberts ( one of the tamil elders) picked it. Every one else guessed exactly what it was and they were all like "NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!" but he opened it anyways. hahahahahaha!!!!!!! now he's stuck with it!
