hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry christmas!

And I know. I am the most spoiled missionary ever. Everyone says that they stop getting things after the first 6 months haha. I have a feeling that you wont forget about me though. 

So I think it will be 7 or 7 30 here. If iIam not mistaken its 4 your time. Not sure though so look into it! I already talked to Sara about everything she should know. You can't see the weight I put on.... its just a tummy, but I am so huge that it is 20 pounds there hahaha. I don't think there is anyone else that wants to see me that bad. 

the eyeballs are awesome and yes! I already wore that tie twice in a week. I gave the others to missionaries and a sister missionary.... she wanted it for her brother or so she says. Usually when we are making contacts in the street I give away the stickers and the kids love them but the American flags I give to the missionaries and the tootsie rolls I am eating:) along with the pillow mints hahaha. sorry. So the Whitmarsh's wrote me and made fun of the way I write haha after everything but my letters would be boring without it haha. so I will continue to use it:) sorry Richard and yes you used it right in the letter!

This Christmas definitely will be different but will be good. For sure I am learning patience with this comp and I will continue to learn throughout my entire mission. it will be good for me:) 

I am definitely ready for a change. Transfers are January 9 so its already really close. I am excited! I think I like my hair medium like it will be when we talk. It isn't short or long. Its good but the curls aren't really there either. 

We had a ward christmas party! it was really interesting. Elder McCann got a picture with Santa. Ask his aunt because it was the ugliest Santa I have ever seen in my life. I was so excited that he was in Brazil... but then he came out and he had to have been an imposter because Santa can never be that ugly but the food was good:) 

so... we also had the missionary party which was every missionary in our mission! it was really cool and I got to see my old comp and the other people that were in my house! We ate and watched a talent show put on by the missionaries. it was.... interesting. haha Do you know the jepsons in the San Jose stake? they have a son in my mission. I already talked to him. 

What I opened this week... chap stick which was good.  gummy worms:) peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!!!! mints! that's all but it was great! everything should be opened by the next time I talk to you guys! 

Oh and I got a package from the Birds! which made my month. I had no idea that other people besides my family send packages to missionaries! it was awesome! haha thanks!

Oh. and we played handball today. it is awesome!

Love you all and hope you have an awesome christmas on Sunday! talk to you later!

LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
