As
for the call on Christmas Day... President T just told us all in his weekly
letter that we aren't going to be able to call home this year due to the influx
of new missionaries.
PSYCH!!
; P
I'm
supposed to arrange with you to call me on our Cellphone number (I think we
will be emailing you the number Christmas Eve, just so you don't have any time
to lose it) and set up a time for you to call and talk. :D Soooo... what time works for you? :) We get
about an hour. The guideline is "short", and President T has said
that if it’s much more than an hour it has stopped being anything even close to
short. : P
I'm still feeling forgotted. :(
I've only ever gotten one letter at the new apartment, and even that was
addressed to the old apartment, it just showed up at the new one by some
miracle! :) Elder A went ahead and had
his family just mail all his letters to the office and then he can just pick
them up whenever he or the Zone Leaders are down there. Apparently there is
also a way to ship packages to the US side of the border and then they can
bring them up to the office in a van so that shipping is cheaper, or you don't
have to pay customs fees... or something. I don't know if that's true, but it
could be worth giving the office a call and asking about? :)
I got my BC license today, they took my Oregon one and said I
wouldn't be getting that back.
Elder A and this huge boat thingy!! This pretty much says it
all, he doesn't look very happy about being in this picture though.

Icebreaker
Socks are quite possibly the greatest socks ever made. You all need three
pairs, Seriously! They are light, conservative in style and SOOOOOOO warm.
·
CTR
Socks are also really good, not as warm, but you also don't always want that
(unless you're in northern BC).

Lands’
End Shirts, awesome, but I just ripped the first one today, (part of the reason
I’m writing on this topic) and I’m not even sure how it happened, I just found
a hole in it.
·
CTR
suits also awesome, they are due to be dry cleaned again, but they are holding
up pretty good, I just have one pair of suit pants that are out of commission
because I took a tumble in the mud a few weeks back and I haven't been able to
get them to the cleaners yet.
·
The
two part jacket I got here is holding up good, the liner will eventually get
wet inside if its pouring rain and it is also out of commission right now
because it was also involved in the mud tumbling fiasco a few weeks back. But
as soon as I get a chance to wash it all should be right as rain (ba dum
cha!). In the mean time I've just been
wearing the shell witch is actually really warm and I've been doing alright
with just that even when it’s cold out, it does even better in snow than it
does in rain!
·
My
camera is a huge hit, all the other Elders are constantly coveting it (I
guess that's not so great) and Elder A is trying to figure out where he can get
one.
The
bad:

The
CTR slacks however are a complete and utter waste of time. The cuffs have come
undone on two of them and a third pair is working on it. I don't think I have
the skill to put it back the way it was, and it certainly wouldn't look right
either. I don't know what I'm going to do with them, or the shirt that I
ripped. : ( Mommy! I feel so helpless! Why didn't I pay
attention more when you were sewing?!? ;)
Any guidance you have there would be awesome too.

Surprisingly
I have not traded a single tie away yet. Weird. I like my ties.
And I’m out of time again. : (
I have to run, we have a dinner appointment tonight, but I will certainly
update you next week on what’s happening (or happened) with transfers.
Love ya!
Elder Thomson
