On our local radio station they have this silly song they sing on Fridays ~ "Friday, Friday, Friday is my favorite day...~ but for me, it's Mondays when we get our next letter from Elder Ethan Merrill. Woohoo! First, a weather update:
Hey there! Happy December!! Nothing really new here besides a new month though. There was a crazy storm yesterday! There was rain and thunder like you wouldn't believe! I couldn't believe how much of a storm we were getting!
Then we had asked if they had any decorations to put for the holiday:
Lol, we did put up some Christmas decorations of our own. It's a tree about a foot high and with some decorations hanging on it. It's so hard to get into the Christmas Spirit without the cold. But I imagine it would be hard for the people in Argentina to get into the Christmas spirit without the heat! Thanks for sending me the box {please let it get there!!!! some goodies and of course a new tie for Christmas, lol}. Thank Sis. Brandt for the $20!
We had told him that several of Dad's co-workers had been laid off but that his bosses has told him he would stay because of his great ability to do multiple jobs, get along with others and work diligently. I said those were qualities I often saw in Elder Merrill as well:
I'm happy that dad is keeping his job. If I have any of those traits, it's because he taught them to me. I try to be a good companion and not get frustrated, even if they do things that tick me off sometimes. I try to focus on the good things really. Patience really is a helpful attribute with the mission.
I promise to work hard always! This week has been a little rough for us...plans fallen through and stuff like that...but I try to stay positive. I pray for you guys every day and even though I won't be home for Christmas, I'm always thinking of you! Elder Ethan Merrill
As always son, you will be in our prayers and hearts constantly! Still my hero!
