Well, this letter probably won’t be, in fact it won’t be as long as they usually are because I talked to all of you just a few days ago in REAL LIFE!!!! SWEET!!!! But, this week really was wonderful and full of great fun and success. We spent a lot of time trying to contact less actives and referrals yesterday and on Saturday. We also tracted in a really awesome neighborhood in south Madison. It’s a newer development area that we went to with the intentions of finding families and such. We did find a few that are interested so that was sweet!! It sure was freezing when we went though, well, not SUPER cold but I would rather be chillin inside by the fire or something. But, the Lord does test our faithfulness and obedience in all things, even in tracting in the freezing cold! Those scarves that you sent, mom, are lifesavers for sure. The wind is what kills you though!! It is just a bundle of fun being out there!
But for Christmas, we decided to forgo the ward Christmas party thing and just talk to our families. It was well worth it. After talking to ya’ll, we hung out with a YSA named Lyle and had dinner at his place. We had broccoli soup and bacon sandwiches for Christmas dinner! Beats out prime rib!! Haha just playin, but it was a good dinner for sure. Then we went to the church and closed the day out with some basketball. Good times.
Gave a talk at church yesterday, it went great. The 1st ward and the University wards are only holding sacrament meetings for the next few weeks because there are so many people home. So that’s kinda lameo. But the talk went great and got a lot of compliments. Not like they’d tell me if I did a bad job anyway, but, yeah, it was a good talk I think. We met a less active guy yesterday who believes in UFO’s, that was cool. He is a funny guy. He is less active because he was offended when the bishop told him he shouldn’t talk about UFO’s in his testimony. Pretty funny. There are some unique people in this world but God loves them all .
Well, can’t think of too much more excitement to tell you all. But, I love you all very very much and wish you a merry Christmas and a happy 2010!!
Talk to you next year!!!!!!!!!!
Love
Elder Kissell
