Happy New Year's to you too! Holy cow can you believe that it is already pretty much 2011?! :O haha that is so crazy, this last year has been the craziest and fastest of my entire life! But it has also been the best year too, so i can't wait to see what this next year is like. Its really cool out in the missionfield they call the time where you serve one full year jan. to dec. your year for the Lord. So 2011 is my year for the Lord, it will be so cool, every single day for this entire year will be dedicated to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Its a pretty amazing opportunity if you think about it. There won't be any other time in my life where i can do what i am.
Yes i did enjoy the rest of my christmas. It was pretty much amazing. We went over and had dinner with franks family and it was just so much fun. They are all very nice, and they loved us. So it was a great dinner and they are such a nice family it made it feel like it was christmas even more! It was sooo good. Haha it is so funny because Frank and his whole family should be mormons, they don't drink or smoke, or even drink coffee or tea! I don't get it haha, maybe they just need more time than other people to accept the gospel. And thats ok, they are so good I know the Lord will take care of them.
Talking to you guys on Christmas was so awesome! Haha no lie i thought i was going to cry like a little baby, but i was just so happy to be able to talk to you guys that i wasn't sad. It was just so nice to have a little bit of time where we could chat instead of having to email and wait a week for a response!!!! haha that was awesome being able to talk to gma and gpa too, i miss them alot. ANd it was nice to talk to peanut. I am so sorry he bit your finger! Did it almost fall off?! haha It was soo good being able to talk to drew and joel too, and kasey and tarah. Haha it was the most i have heard from them since i have been out here on my mission! Joel and Drew are such bums haha they were both like, you love how much we write you. They are lame, but they said they would start writing me more which is pretty awesome. I am so grateful to you jess, sam, and megan. You guys all write me consistently and it makes it really nice. Oh and don't worry after the phone calls i wasn't sad or feeling homesick i was just so happy. I am just in a way good mood and i love it!
So we haven't gone to the basketball game yet but we are going to today. It is going to be pretty sweet. Haha i don't really care about the game so much, as just having some nice time to kinda relax a little bit and have some fun with the other elders. That will be good. :) I am so bummed i missed maddux's 3rd bday! Can you belive that little dude is 3? That is insane, haha he was so shy when he was talking to me on the phone, but he told me he loved me and that made me happy. :) Oh and don't worry mom i am going to be sending a ton of pictures from this last transfer and from christmas out today, sorry it took me so long i just wanted there to be pictures from christmas on there before i sent any of them home to you. There are some good pics on here haha. You'll like them. And don't worry mom, my shoes fit perfect, I am wearing them right now! And the brown belt megan got me so i look pretty spiffy right now haha!
This week has been really good, but its so wierd time just keeps chugging along out here you know? I mean once sunday hits i am already halfway through another transfer! It is really starting to freak me out how fast it is going. :( I love it out here. Its so funny remember how i was always wanting to come live out on the east coast for such a long time, i just realized the other day that the Lord gave me the blessing of living out here on my mission. haha i should i realized it more before, but i wanted it so much, and it just hit me that He blessed me with what i wanted. I am out here living in it and loving it. Haha i'm not going to lie though i think i like the west a little bit more. :) Well Mom i'm sorry i don't have too much to say about this last week but we have shorter time to email today so i'lll write a better letter on monday. I love you mom, you are the best! Talk to you guys soon!
Love,
Elder Ingram
