Hi Mom, 
Wow it's almost Christmas! That's cool that you're going to spend Christmas Eve with Brett and Jennie. I think I'll call Christmas day! Tell Brennan he should remember what I taught him and he'll be alright. Things are going good here.  We had a family in church on Sunday and that was awesome!  It was a little awkward in Sunday school,  (we don't have a gospel principles class).  The teacher was like, "hey, today we're going to fill out family record sheets for the baptisms of the dead."  Then he started to hand out the sheets, and handed them to our investigators, to which they were like "hummm?"  So I said to the teacher,  "do you think you could share a little introduction because they're investigators"  (and you think someone as a returned missionary would understand but NO).  Then some other "smart one" in class starts to talk to them and says, "Yeah, the church dumps millions and millions AND MILLIONS of dollers into family history!......" So anyway,  just imagine it is your first day visiting a church you show up and they say, "Hey guys! We baptize dead folk and we spend a TON of money doing it!!!!"  I was a little upset.  As true as it is, if their isn't any explanation for at least come comprehension the spirit is not present and no one will be edified.  I didn't want to loose investigators -A FAMILY!-, so my companion and I got up and shared very simply why we do temple work.  They were happy at the end of the lesson, so we have to see if they have some crazy questions during our appointment Tuesday.  We taught a professor this week, which after so much time of trying to teach things extremely simply, was interesting but also really cool.  He had some awesome questions, and it was a really cool lesson. It will be awesome to talk to you guys for Christmas.  I hope you have a good week! Love, Aaron
