Hi mom!
So this past week was pretty great! Christmas is much different on a mission but I absolutely LOVED it!
It was also really great to see you and the rest of the family on skype! And HOLY CANOLY!!! Carter and Roman are SO big!!! I can't believe how fast they've grown and how much they are talking! It's just nuts! Anyway, I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you'll all have a great New Year as well! I still can't get over the fact that tomorrow is 2014 and I come home in 8 months... So, last night a member took us out to this place in Charleston called Shore Acres. It's a Botanical Garden that they decorated with over 400,000 lights! It was incredible! Almost as cool as Temple Square but not quite :) I will have to send pictures!
Oh! So there's this little part member family in our ward who's from Guana and we just started teaching his wife last week! They have the cutest little girl and they have one on the way! We are super excited to be teaching her and she already said that she would be baptized! We also set a baptismal date with Holly! She is such a great girl and her baby is so stinkin' cute! He's so chubby and has the biggest brown eyes! There are like 4 other ladies in the ward who just had babies or they are due soon and I am dying not being able to hold them!!! It seriously is the worst! Anyway, I think I got you all up to date on everyone that we are teaching last time. There are tons of great potential here in Coquille and I feel like it's about to explode! Also the 4 of us missionaries in the ward have this awesome idea about starting a branch in Powers!! We called President Young and told him our thoughts and hopefully we will be able to get that up and going. We have lots of LA member out there and it's about an hour drive to our chapel here so I think that if they had a chapel to go to that was closer they would probably become active. The only thing that we're struggling with in starting a branch is not having enough priesthood holders out there. We have the faith and determination though to get this little branch up and going so prayers would be greatly appreciated! :) Thank you again SO SO much for all of the gifts! I loved every single one of them!! And thank you for all that you do for me. You honestly have no idea how much it truly means. I love you so much and hope you have a great week!!!

"Holy Canoly! lol Lyndsie, your couch looks like our old couch, the one we had in LaVerkin..."
"Haha I know! It's so weird! Another reason it was like I was at home for Christmas!"
