So as always lots of interesting excitement here in Toledo. Christmas Conference was great. We woke up at 5:30, and put 6 of us in the truck and headed to Kirtland last Tuesday morning. There was Elders Brockbank, Brooke, Nelson, Hale, Eardley and me in the truck. So we got there about 9:30 and went to the visitors center to look at the nativities which is always good. Also we chatted with the other missionaries there too for a little bit. I also saw Brother Phillips and Brother Packer at the sites so I will send you the pictures. We had lunch at the Stake Center there in Kirtland and then went to the Kirtland Temple for a little devotional thing. There was a lot of songs and testimonies by missionaries and other people like President Brown, President Connor, the Stake President in Youngstown, and Elder Tittera the area 70 over President Brown. I like Kirtland a lot for sure. We ended about 3:45 and headed for home. When we got back, I drove another 30 minutes or so with Elder Nelson to Bowling Green for exchanges. In the morning he was pretty sure he had hand, foot and mouth sickness, so we had to drive to a CVS and get it checked out so that made for an interesting day. Frank is still doing good as he is just so busy, but we talk to him on the phone almost everyday. Roxy we met with and she is still coming along slowy. Larry Mitchell came to church this week which was great. On saturday we helped a recent convert and her son, who both are restricted in a lot of areas, move and it took all day long, so I got my workout in for sure. Yesterday it tried to snow a little bit but the ground was to warm for it to stick much, but there was the first attempt I have seen this go round. Random questions are good, for dinner usually we will have leftovers, or I will whip up some canned soup or an egg sandwich or random things that are super easy like a pb and sometimes j or honey sandwich. Thanks for all the updates.  I got letters from John Alger's family and Bob Holt this week, so thanks to them very much. I am doing great, always learning lots. Have a wonderful, marvelous, amazing week.
