hey everyone!
how's it going up there? things are just the same as always down here. there's really never anything to tell.
for Christmas, i kinda already did send an email, did you not get it? i thought i already said what i did? and did you get a phone call from brother monson? you must not have gotten that email, cause at about 3:30 i was emailing, so i was just inside. i did go to the temple that day though, but at like 12:45, so i guess i missed you all. that night though we just watched some more motab, which is good i guess, but we just spent like 8 hours in uncomfortable seats watching movies, so it wasn't that fun. we watched mr kreuger's christmas that night, and i don't think i've ever seen it, so it was fine i guess, but kinda weird too. thanks again for all the presents, we had some fun opening them, well i opened them, everyone else opened theirs, but you know what i mean. it's just cool thinking that now i only have one christmas left, weird huh? i guess i'll have to get use to warm christmas' too, even though i only have one, cause it was like 50 and sunny down here, it wasn't normal, it didn't feel like christmas at all, course there's not really any christmas spirit here, well at least like the santa and elves and stuff, but they put lights up, so i guess that kinda counts. it is a little crazy to think it's already been like a week after christmas, but monday was basically just a normal day, we don't get a christmas break here, so it was just right back in the swing of things. but it's all good.
i did learn a couple of cool little things. so christmas, they don't say christmas in spanish, it's just navidad, but "mas" in spanish means "more," so it's "Christ's Mass," but also "more Christ," kinda cool i thought. and a cool little lotr fact, "grima" in spanish means "fright" or "horror," so that's kinda cool as well
i'm not really surprised the jazz are blowing it, i'm not expecting them to be good this season or maybe even the next, but i do think they're gonna be dang good.
well it's a short email, but nothing has happened in the last like 3 days, so i don't have anything. i really just want to get out and do some work though, i'm sick of the "fake" stuff. obviously i still have lots to learn, but i'm not a fan of this place, plus we're here 10 weeks instead of 9, just cause we were supposed to come in on thanksgiving week, but i guess they didn't want us travelling that week or something so they pushed us back a week. but funny thing with my visa, i got a thing in the mail awhile back and they said we were just gonna be travelling on our passport alone, we didn't need a visa, so we applied for it for nothing. but they checked my immunizations and things too and i'm fine there, so i'll be able to go when they let me. my estimated departure is the 23rd, so who knows if it'll change, but i'll plan on that.
well i hope things are going well, tell everyone i said hi. and i'll talk to you next week!
much love,
elder paskett
