Well for you to call me, i have the details. For me it will be christmas morning and all of you christmas eve i think. The 25th HERE IN JAPAN at 8 or 9 am, so sometime at night on the 24th for you i think.

This weekend we had stake conference. Elder Chey, the Korean guy that spoke at conference about " I love loud boys", came and he is a way good speaker. I really enjoyed it.
Not much is going on here, im trying not to get trunky this month, but knowing kira will pop soon and getting brocks wedding invitation and knowing he will get married soon makes it kinda tough. Plus these are all the first times being gone for these family holidays.
Simon Dewey is a church artist. He has a lot of really great pictures. All the ones he has done that i have seen have Christ in them. But just how real the look to me and the colors and how well he can get emotion into the picture makes me appreciate things more. He has one i remember called consider the lilies, and i think its Christ with some children sitting in front of the lilies. Im not to good at explainging it sorry. I think youll be able to find some of his stuff at Deseret Books.
Im good on toothpaste i think and deoderant, if you send anymore, i thnk its called old spice pro strength with talc. Aunt Carol sent some in a package, it works wonders ha. Other than that ill be happy with anything.
Well today we are planning on watching some of the church dvds that we have, Finding faith in christ, The testaments, and the mission home gave us Joseph Smiths 200th christmas its motab doing christmas with people playing music singing and dancing, so we were intrested in watching that.
Well i dont remember if i told you about the baker and his family, and how we met the daughter at service and they know the missionaries and stuff. But sunday night we went there, i was on splits with the zone leaders. We wanted to do something to show why were are doing what we do. So since they have seen The restoration movie, we decided Finding Faith in Christ would be the best thing. Before the movie, my ZL dont think about what you see, focus on your feelings. Then we showed the movie and we were going to share a faith scripture. But i had a thought come to mind to share what faith ISNT instead of what faith IS. That was a gift from the spirit. I got that thought and knew exactly what scrips to use Alma 32: 17-18. After the movie, the father just said wow (except in japanese) and after the scripture he said something to the lines of i understand. Then the both of us gave a testimony and left. We didnt ask questions, except the commitment to think about that feeling they had during the movie. We left those of that family that was there feeling something strong, really strong.
Other than that not much to tell, sorry
Love ya, tell kira not to explode til after she talks to me on the phone
for this Christmas season, just remember something. (flip the m)--------> Christwas..... Christmas
LOVE YOU
Elder PR Coffey
