We got an early Christmas present when we unexpectedly received an e-mail from Bryan the morning of Christmas Eve. Here is part of what he wrote:
"So my first week here was great. They've got this computer setup with my ldsmail.com and they let us use it on P-day for 30 minutes. They've even got a countdown thing in the corner that counts down from the time you log in. It's pretty intense. So I'm here and what did I forget to bring? My notes from the week because I can't remember a darn thing off the top of my head as to what all has happened this week. So I'll do my best to recap stuff.
"My companion is Elder Wright and he's from Riverton. He taught the marching band at Riverton High after he graduated and he plays percussion, so we're really tight and have a lot in common and that totally rocks! Our teacher Sister Olsen is a short petite women whose a returned missionary and BYU student whom we call affectionatly Goldy Locks due to her very curly, very blonde hair. However what she lacks in size she makes up for in spirit. She does an excellent job of inviting the spirit and letting it teach us.
"The spirit here is so strong. It's really cool how fast you can learn things. We've already got the first lesson down flat and we've taught it several times in different mock set ups and to real people in the Refferal Center. The RC is amazing. We've been there twice already. I've gotten 5 people to agree to having the Elders in their area bring them a Book of Mormon and teach the first lesson, then to have them read and pray about it. Then yesterday I taught one women the first and second lessons, and she committed to be baptized!! She's from Ohio and named Cynthia. She's a middle school English teacher.
"We've had some really good lessons. We had one on Sunday about a change of heart that was really, really good. I'll have to get my notes and write about it to you next week. The main point of it is that we have to live it and excercise the examples of it before we are able to go out and convert people to our gospel. Then we've got a Christmas Eve devotional tonight and two tomorrow but they won't tell us whose coming.
"I love you all and hope you have a merry Christmas."
