Well all I can say for myself is WOW!!!! 133.56 ounces of peanut m&m’s, 14 boxes of mac and cheese and a grand assortment of tasty treats!!! Yes the smile on my face is gigantic! I hope that the treats last me at least two weeks or more!!!! JK - Thank you all so much for the packages and especially to all who wrote me letters, that was my favorite part!! Tyler’s and Ashley’s made me laugh pretty hard I am still laughing about some funny cartoons and humor they sent to me. Thank you all so much for taking the time to write me, it really means a lot.
OK so the One thing that I really need is the time zone difference so I can know when to call. I really have no idea what it is so please try to figure something out with that.
Well this week went by really fast its most likely my last week with Elder Hanks which is sad because we have had some great times and so many funny times together. We have a few elders coming in from Utah. I know that one is from Lindon, his name is Elder Ellis. (So close to Home!)
This week I Had to get my suit pants let out. Yep, I have gotten a little rice belly going on and I just stand in front of the mirror and look at myself in disgust, haha just kidding its not that bad its just funny.
Finally there has been a few more people put up Christmas lights and little kids go around caroling for money. Its really sad when they come up to us and ask us for money because we aren’t allowed to give them any. We say we don’t have any money which is awkward when we have just walked out of the local drug store or market that we have clearly spent money in.
I was able to watch the Christmas devotional last night in our stake center and it was great and the music was awesome! All the talks were great and I especially liked Pres. Monsons talk it was my favorite. (can you believe this is me saying these words to you?) My mission has really changed me!
The language is slowly coming along and I think it would help if I had a Filipino companion but I am doing okay.
That’s good news that there is finally some snow on the ground. The people here think that our weather is cold and everyone is wearing jackets and stuff. We walk into their house sweating to death and its really funny when they look at us sweat while they freeze. They ask us what snow is and what it feels like and what do you do with it. Oddly its hard to explain snow to someone who has never seen it before but we try to do the best we can.
That’s crazy that we have 7 missionaries out from our ward. Are there anymore planning on going out anytime soon or are we done for a little while?
Its funny that you mentioned Grandma Jeffery because I have been thinking when the last time I saw her was and it has been a while. Be sure to take pictures of her and send them my way. Also send pictures of the snow and Peyton building the first snowman of the year.
I hope that everyone is doing well and that your all having a great time do what ever it is that you do each day. I am loving it here and there is nowhere else I would rather be! Yes I do miss the little things and all of you very much! But I know that there are people that need what we have and with the Lords help, me and my companion can give them that. It has been hard, but my life has changed so much in the past year I cant even explain it. This gospel is the only way to have true happiness and joy.

Well that’s my report for the week. I love you all so much and miss you! I hope you have a great week! Don’t get too cold!! Haha
Love Elder Mulliner
