Hey Family,

It was so awesome to talk to you guys on Christmas! You all seem like your doing awesome and that's great! Thanks to everyone that sent me a letter in that package, it was the best present ever!! I wish I could come skiing with you guys, I think when I get off the mission skiing is something I am going to get into! Anyways, this week was pretty good! My district meeting went well, I threw down on the elders in my district and my zone leaders said it was the best district meeting they've ever been to, haha! There are a lot of elders in the district that are being disobedient right now and that aren't focused on their purpose, so this week has been pretty stressful with trying to help all of them out! President Miller even had to come and talk to some of them... But yeah hopefully I can be an impact to all of them! Elder Gardner and I are getting along so well, we are teaching and finding with more and more unity and power each and every week! Our investigators are doing pretty good, we got a new investigator named Ilva this week. She is from Sweden and she grew up Lutheran. We taught her the Restoration this week and she took it in very well! We gave her a Book of Mormon and a chapter in it to read and she said she would! We also invited her to baptism and she said yes so we set a baptism date in February and she said that she was going to need some more time so we set a date for April 19th!! If everything goes well that would be the best birthday present ever haha! Randy is doing well he hasn't smoked for 2 weeks now and he is still on his January 18th baptism date! All is well over here in Cherry Hills and I love being a missionary! It is the greatest work that any of us can do in this life and it's an honor to be wearing the name tag with the Savior's name on it! I hope you all are doing well, keep doing the right things and the Lord will bless you! I love you all

Love Elder Summerhays
