Elder Myers Dec 28, 2009

hey everyone! i love you!
first off thanks so much for the christmas stuff! it is much appreciated! i didnt have any snack food before christmas and now i have too much! haha

yeah it was great talking to you!i love you all! i dont think that i was too distracted or anything i did feel kind of weird afterward that night but it wasnt anything big so dont worry! this week it will be back to normal (almost, we have to be in by 6 on the 31st and 1st) but im doing great so far in terms of adjusting. like you said its hard but i have done a lot of hard stuff before and i know that i can get through it especially with the help of the lord.

we had a baptism yesterday- anthony our blind investigator... it went well but it was pretty stressful getting it organized and all that, especially because it was right after christmas and there was a lot of people out of town. there is def a shortage of piano players in the ward (especially the spanish ward- sometimes we have to sing accapella! i always wish i had cole's piano talents! cole- i heard you got second in illinois for a young composers thing! nice job! congrats! as always im astounded by your musical talents because that world is so foreign to me! haha but yeah def keep up piano etc for the mission-like i said, it will come in handy- no one in our zone can play the piano except forone or two people and they say they arent good, the zone leaders are always asking "can anyone play the piano????!" i wish i could say i could... so yeah, keep it up! and leading music! thats easy for you i know but i made a fool of myself once trying to do a fast 6/8 song... i kind of just waved my hand... im practicing with my companion though! haha)

that was really random but yeah. this sunday we have our first baptism into the spanish ward! its the chavez family, i ithink i told you their names and everyhting but i know that i told you about them before. they are really nice! and of course im really excited about that.

not too many new things have happened since we talked last... except my companion and i eating garretts popcorn at almost every meal that we eat in our apartment...!

give everyone my love!
im sorry i am so bad at responding/writing letters! im still getting into the groove of the field... and as im sure everyone all knows im a very distracted person and so yeah... sometimes im distracted just when i walk down the street in LA, i dont ever remember being this spacey... maybe its just that i have never had a person follow me around all day... haha but that doesnt mean i wont write! that sounded kinda bad but im just noticing that...

i love you!
