Freezing Rain

 12/14/09

So another year of freezing rain for you guys 
hugh? yeah i think we got the rain part of that 
because it started raining on Thursday and it 
didn't really stop until yesterday so ew lost most 
of our snow here in the valley but we still have it 
and it probably wont go away totally. So Ethan got 
elected winter ball prince i bet he was really 
excited when it got canceled fol. Let me know 
what Ethan gets on the ACT he'll probably get 
like a 33 or 34 knowing house genius he is. Just 
make sure that he knows not to take a whole lot 
of time on each problem he needs to make the 
best use of his time that he possibly can. well i 
wrote in my letter about this but ill tell you 
anyway. We taught the first lesson in Spanish last 
week and it stunk. Elder Whittier (Bless his heart) is like one of the greatest missionaries ....when he can understand what he's talking about. I talked pretty good but wasn't able to be quite as confident because i didn't have little pauses where my companion would be speaking so it wasn't as good and lol every time that i would ask elder Whittier if he wanted to say something he would look at me and just say "no entiendo" (i dont know). But he tries really hard and i know it will come for him he just needs to have confidence in himself. 

Lets see ... oh yeah! Chrstmas is on the way! You 

asked me what i wanted in my Christmas package. I really dont need anything that much so ill be 

more than happy with whatever you want to get me. But if you really want to press me for 

something that i want ... i guess i could go for a: Newcastle United Soccer Jersey the Black and White vertical striped one in a size medium ... But really all i need for Christmas is to know that you guys are doing ok and that you are having a good christmas. ill see what i can do for gifts for you guys and Pictures will be in the mail soon ill send you my first sd card so you can see what ive been doing here. 

And yes i did read that same message from president eyring in the december ensign. You guys will think its pretty funny but its like christmas here when the ensigns come haha. That and 

packages are cause to celebrate. But anyway about his message our teacher told us that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to read it because it would make us homesick ... too late. But i know that the time that im sacrificing away from you guys is enabling others to be with their families forever. I ran into David this week and he says hi and thank Grandma Bever for the package she sent me. That was greatly appreciated. See if you can post my address on facebook again and say: "Thomas needs mail!" on the home page. Because I haven't got a letter from anyone else besides family.  If you could do that that would be great. I love you all so very much and hope that you all have an amazing Christmas!

Love, 

Elder Bever
