Hi Mom!

How are you this morning? I hope you are surviving in all that snow! Chels said you guys got somewhere around 6-8 inches?!?!?!? That is so crazy!!! I wish it would snow here! Even though it's freezing cold, I still would like a "White Christmas". The cold here is different than back home. It's a damp/wet cold so it goes right through you and chills you to the bone.. and once you're cold, it seems there's no way of getting warm.
Guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!     WE ARE GOING TO THE BEACH TODAY!!!!!!!

It will be my first time going to the Oregon Coast so i'm super stoked!!

 

Anyway, yesterday we had Zone Conference! (That's why you didn't receive an e-mail) It was such a GREAT conference. The AP's started out by telling us that our mission has been chosen to test online proselyting. We will each have our own i-pad and will be on Facebook, Skype, Blog, and E-mail for an hour each day to teach the Gospel. Crazy, right???? I think it is absolutely incredible how the Lord is using technology and modern devices to Hasten His work. The prophesy given to Joseph Smith in Doctrine and Covenants 88: 73 is so true. It's such an awesome thing that is happening and the use of technology is going to make it possible for the Gospel to go to all the world! It will be interesting to see how quickly this work picks up even more than it has. Also at Zone Conference we talked about having Higher Expectations and how we can align our will with the Lord's will. It was very Spirit filled and probably one of my favorite conferences yet! And as a Christmas gift from President and Sister Young, we watched the movie Christmas Oranges! It was really good and during the part where the children got oranges in the movie, the AP's and Pres. and Sis. Young walked around and gave each of us oranges and wished us a Merry Christmas. It was so sweet :) We then did a Tie exchange for the Elders and a Scarf exchange for the Sisters!! The whole conference was just superb! And it was only the Coos Bay Zone.

So Sister Young and Sister Kleinman said you called them about the fleas.................................. Oh mom, you are so funny! I just love you! Thanks for your concern, I will be fine :) And I promise that I will send "My Christmas List" that you asked for today! The past few p-days have been crazy and we never have time to sit down and write letters but I will make it appoint to do that today. Thank you for all that you do for me!! I really do appreciate all you and the rest of the family do for me. I love you guys! Oh! One last thing, transfers are this weekend, so don't send anything to my apartment address. Thanks! I hope you have the best week!!!

Love,

Lyndsie :)

P.S. I will let you know when we get to skype when I find out.

P.S.S.-- TREVOR!!!!! HAPPY 30 MONTHS SWEETHEART!!!!!!!  I LOVE YOU!!!! :D
