The new year will bring a new companion (his second) and roommate for Tab. Elder Estipona will be transferred and Elder Pruitt will be going home. I know this will be sad for Tab because he and Elder Estipona got along so well together. However, change is good and he is looking forward to it. Bring on the New Year!
Hi Mom!
I only have 20 minutes so I'll have to be quick.
To answer your questions:
1. We did a gift exchange on Christmas with our zone. I got one of the sister missionaries so I bought her a huge batman shirt. We had a good time. So everyone got gifts and shared and what not.
2. Yes! We have been playing nerf HORSE every single day after planning. It's a hit. Serious. It's probably the most prized gift in the whole apartment! Thank you Colby.
3. Yes, I can get to Trader Joe's after the transfer is over.
4. Yes he is the better of the two that were available. I don't remember his name though (this is in reply to me asking Tab if he liked his American Heritage teacher at BYU)
5. Today I will write Grandma Sharon. We've been really busy and I have meant to, but haven't had the time to. Tell her hello for me.
I write Clark all the time. He sent me a sad letter the other day letting me know that one of our good friends had died in an accident last week. His name is Josh Nelson and he was Clark's roommate at BYU. We all hung out a few times in the summer and I got to know him quite well. He was one of the funnier kids in our ward. I believe he had a mission call already and it was sad to hear that news but Clark took it really well.
I will be getting a new companion and roommate on Thursday. Elder Estipona is leaving. I'll tell him you said good luck! I already know who our roommate is and he's really cool so that's good. Hopefully my new companion and I get along as well and I did with Elder Estipona.
Man I'm glad Reese got a sweatshirt. I hope he likes it and wears it alot. I know Clark does! haha. I haven't heard from Reese in a while so tell him to write me back!
Yes we attend the same branch as the other elders in our apartment so we were also at the baptism. It was really awesome for everyone. The church here is quite different and I love it. It's hard for me to explain but if you could imagine a bunch of converts who grew up singing and praising all the time, now turned LDS, it would make sense to you. I have to hold from laughing sometimes.
Christmas sounded good for you all. I'm really happy to hear that dad has picked up skiing again! He needs that break from work and I'm glad he's enjoying it. I'm sure you are too. You'll have to send me a small copy of our family photos! I want to see them. Or upload them in an email.
Last thing I wanted to ask really quickly:
Can you send me a recipe for Singapore Shishkabobs?
There were a few other things but I forgot so I'll ask next week.
I love you all and I pray for you each day! You're the best.
Love,
Tab
