Letter home on 12/18

Well our church is pretty sweet. it use to be an old restaurant so it has drive-thru salvation. :) yeah it rocks pretty awesome like. but its a good size one. they will get a real chapel if they can have an average of 60 people come to church for 3 months i believe. yeah we only average about 52 a week. haha small eh? i gave a talk last week though about the gospel. i think it went well. i also taught priesthood and gave a prayer a few sundays ago so they are really putting me to work which is awesome. we have a car and we drive about 50 miles average a day. yeah its a huge area. it goes up to the VA/NC border. so its crazy how much we drive. and for zone conference on friday we have to drive up the Denbigh in Newport News. Like a 3 hour drive from our house or so, so we might be spending the night up in franklin. i got some pretty sweet ties. we swap some times and they are way nice. i guess polyesters are the way to go because they can survive the summers out here so if you send ties please make them polies. :) but i ride bikes occasonally. its fun but it can really wear you out. just to answer all weather questions...i can take my jacket off at 70 degrees and i have taken my jacket off almost everyday last week. but now this week we wake up to 30 degrees so where it went I dont know. but i got more name tags. a magnet one and another clip one. i love those things. but im all set as far as everything goes. just really focusing and putting my head into the work and blocking out most everything.

My comps are great! one is from sequim,wa and the other from modesto, ca. he doesnt know aunt carol but he asked his mom and she does! its nice to be able to bash on utah without having to throw out disclaimers. but its soo fun though. we have soo many inside jokes and just little things that make it more enjoyable. and we have only been together 12 days! its insane but way cool. we are singing 22 songs on sunday for Christmas. its the way the program is set up. yeah weird huh? we started reading the BOM as a companionship. 14 pages a day and its nice. it really brings the spirit but we cant study other things which is sad no time. :( but i highlight everytime it says Christ or another of His names and its really intersting to see it all. elder rappleye and i saw eachother on last fri and it went well so its nice to know we are still friends. just not companions. :) but its ok.

Well not too much left to say. just relying on the spirit and laughing my head off with these guys. we have different words of the day and everything. so its cool. well i have to go ok
Love Elder Malone
