Hey,

So this week has been a crazy week. Today I found out I am being transferred, tomorrow right before Christmas. I am ready to leave the area but wish it would be after Christmas. We have a lot set up for this week here in Morristown that I don't want to miss. This morning I solved the Rubik's 360 that I got from our district secret Santa. We had a zone breakfast at the mission home. It was a lot of fun and we all got ties from our mission president and his wife. The other day we did service for a less-active member. It was cool because we built an Ice Rink in their back yard. I thought it was going to be this little thing but it's a really nice size. It was 45 feet by 60 feet. Also we got an investigator who is from China going to school here. His name is Yi. The other day he said his uncle said he needs an English name and asked us to name him. We gave him a list of names and he liked Kyle. So Kyle, in his prayer that day when we left, prayed and thanked God for my companion and I and asked that we could be friends forever and gave thanks for his new name. It was funny. On Friday we woke up early to go to NYC with two other Elders and two Sisters. We had to be at the Mexican Embassy for one of the Elders at 8:00am. So I can say I was in Mexico on my mission for a hour. Well the temple was only a few miles away and our session was at 11:00am so from 9:00am - 10:30am we walked around the city and saw a lot of the sights. I will send pictures soon. It was a lot of fun. Also got NY style pizza. It was really good. Take Care and Merry Christmas.
