Hey Everyone!

The first snow has fallen! It has been a lot of fun actually.  They cancelled the 2nd and 3rd hours of church because of it and school today is also cancelled. The people here are big babies.  It really is not that bad at all. The assistants told us to stay in unless we needed to go out so we were not able to watch the Christmas Devotional.  None of our investigators were able to go either but the mission president really did not want us out. 

The snow has been fun! We went with the Elders in the Centreville 1st ward and the sisters in our ward and played in the snow at our complex.  We built snowmen and had a snowball fight.  The snow was not great but we had fun. I enjoyed just playing in it and having fun.

This week went great!  Every single lesson was with a member present which is super cool!  I am really proud of what this area has become.  I was reading in my journal from my first few weeks, not finding a person to teach and still having no one to work with was so hard.  Now, we have 10 to 12 people in our teaching pool and have 5 less active members that we are working with just feels really good. The Lord has blessed me so much here. The hard work pays off.  

Transfers are coming up and I have no idea what is going to happen. Either way, I have made great friends here in the ward and we have really got this area going!

Christmas time is here or so they say!  It really does not feel like December.  Time has been flying. I really want some Christmas Cd's like Michael Buble' or Bing Crosby; just classic stuff.  If you could send that stuff it would be awesome!  We can't listen to the radio but Christmas music is OK as long as it's a CD or IPod.  They say 16 days until Christmas but I am still waiting for Halloween to come.  It really is strange.

I love hearing about all the things going on at home.  With Aunt Kelli and Grandpa's talk and Christmas preparations!  I hope you have a safe week and a Merry Christmas! Love you all!

Love,

Elder Westover
