okay first things first,,,, happy Birthday to SAM, TAMMY and my sissy NIKKI(: love you all tons and tons and hope you had or have the best birthday ever you old farts!! (:

Well im just going to start off by saying i think i got transfered to heaven... we live in the cutest house with the patriarch and his wife and his wife ( hna lucy) is our penchenista who is amazing!!! i love love love her. we have hot water for showers... is that real?? (: and i have the BEST companion in the whole world!!! Hermana Jacobson is seriously my twin. We get along so well and i swear everyday is the funniest, most spiritual, happiest day of my life. We have so much in common and even have a bunch of stuff thats the same that we brought from the states haha Shes 20 too and has her man waiting for her at home! Shes from Centerville and has 5 months in the mission! anyways its the best. i know this sounds wierd but this was the first week i truly felt like i was really a missionary. i think something just clicked and i realized how precious this time is i have here and especially the time i have been blessed with too be in this area with my comp!!! 

Last monday we went to the mall... yes the MALL real stores do still exist people!! (: you could say i was the happiest camper in campersville. dont worry i didnt buy anything!

Well our area is super great, i love the ward and just everything about it!! Its going to get really rainy here soon, they say it usually gets up to your knees in the streets,,, AWESOME!! im stoked... i just need to invest in some rain boots... haha 

we had our first baptism on saturday.. hermanita Laskmy, She  is the cutest thing and wanted to be baptized so bad but her mom wouldnt give permission. we went wednesday and not only got her moms permission but her mom has a date and came to church sunday!!! So awesome!! Also We watched the christmas devotional which was amazing!! All the lights and the temple made me miss home but it made me realize something... i may not be able to be home to spend christmas with all of you or buy you all the presents i would like too but i am giving the greatest gift i could.. my time and dedication to the lord. We as missionaries are giving up christmas with our families to give other families the chance to be together forever and to have the happiness and joy we all have as members of the church!! i miss you all and hope your enjoying the snow and christmas time at home!! 

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Hermana Weller!!!(:
