Hey Family

Hows it going? Yeah it was nice to talk to you guys on Christmas. Sounds like it was a good chirtmas and people got a lot of stuff. Thats good to hear.  Well my christmas went a little like this. After we got done talking we went over to the Turvavilles and had a brunch with all the Macow missionarys it was fun.  After that we just went back to work GQing and had an apponintment. over all it was pretty good christmas. So theres alot of snow I knew that would happen when I leave you get all the snow. thats the way that it goes. 
  Well Macow is a good place. And there are a lot of people. alot a people from the main land so it is hard becouse we can't really teach them to much becouse they just leave and go back. last week we meet a man from the main land and we taught him a 1st outline and he felt the sprite and was way good but he had to go back to the main land so we didn't get to teach him anymore. and that has happened a lot . we also get a lot of people from out of town so again it hard to teach yesterday we talked with a couple from Fukauaka Japan (i don't know how to spell it) but we got there referll and sent it there. The people a good people but they are so stuck in the traditions of there fathers that they wont even start to listen its hard and it seems like the harder we try the less we get done. but I know that that isn't true. Macow also has a lot of the smallest car you have ever seen there tiny and everyone has a scouter I think that there are more scooters than people its crazy i think the mission should buy acouple of than and we would be able to get around real easy.  Im trying to take some pictures but its hard to have the carma all the time but ill see what I can do about that.  Yesterday i had a PPI interview with Pres. Ong He came out to Macow to call the new Branch Pres. Elder Chan well it was a good interview he is an inspired man I don't know what you told him in your letter to him but he said some things that really suprised me. He know that i have a hard time with letters and lang. stuff but yea it ws a little weid what he knew. He helped me out alot. but yea things are good.
  Its to bad to hear about Grandma but it was about time for her to go. Are right so whats everyone doing since there out of school i guess there be back in in acouple of days well hope things are good talk to you next week
Oh if you could send me grandma's email and everyone else that would be great thanks bye bye

Love,
