Hey all. I hope all is going well at home. It's getting harder and harder to come up with what to write in these. When you have the same schedule every day the whole week just kindof blurs together and it's hard to think of anything super exciting to write about. Since the temple was closed today we had alot more time to spend napping and that was great. I had plenty of time to sleep and write letters so it was a relaxing day. It's good to see all the snow. I hope it stays for christmas so that we can have a white christmas. Last night after class me and Elder Gonzalez hurried and made a little snowman before any security guys got mad at us. He was pretty excited because he had never played in the snow before. There were millions of elders having this big snowball fight and all of the sudden one of them yelled "Security!' and we looked and saw a guy coming towards us, and every one scattered super fast. It was pretty funny. Last night we were talking to Elder Sorg about France. He is going to Greece but is from Toulouse and so he was telling us about the mission and the culture over there. He taught us about what not to do in church and dinner apointments, so hopefully we wont offend to many people with our American ways. He's a great elder and i know he'll be great out in the field. I'm ready to head out. There were a bunch of elders who left for the field last week and this week. It was kindof sad but exciting to see them all go. We get 21 new elders and 7 new sisters this week though so it will be fun to meet all the new people. A few more random updates: tie trades have now been banned, J1 is an evil washing machine that locks your laundry inside for an extra 15 minutes, and Elder Gonzalez sleep talks in spanish. Since my next P-day is on Christmas i'm not exactly sure what is going on for email but we'll see. I don't get to call home from the mtc for Christmas so that's a bummer. I got a bunch of Christmas cards these past few days so thanks for that. It's nice to see pictures of everybody. I hope you all have a Great Christmas. Remember the real reason why we celebrate it. I've been reading Jesus The Christ these past few days and it's great reading about the life of the Savior and all of the things he did. I've also been studying the Atonement alot this past week. It really is the greatest gift that we could possibly recieve. Remember Christ and all he did for us as you celebrate His birth this week. I love you all. Joyeux Noel!
L'amour Elder Swenson
