Happy New Year!!!

Hey guys!  Happy New Year!  We decided to celebrate the New Year 
with a little extra sleep so it was definitely a relaxed celebration. It was 
great. I don’t think I have ever loved sleep more than on the mission.  

This week was pretty good.  I got sick Christmas night so we stayed 
in the next day.  My body ached and I had chills.  We had interviews 
on Wednesday with President Hansen.  He gave me a blessing and 
I know that really blessed me and helped my get over the sickness.  
It was awesome.  The power of the priesthood is real.  

This week was pretty slow so I really don't have too much to report.  
We spent all day Friday and Saturday biking around trying to find 
people to talk to.  We didn't have too much success but we will try 
try again.  Sunday was awesome.  All three English wards combined 
as well as our Spanish Branch for a special meeting.  All the English 
ward boundaries were rearranged.  None of these changes will affect 
the Spanish Branch but it was really cool to witness.  It is amazing to 
witness the progression of  the church to the point where they need to 
make room for more people.  I had the opportunity to translate this 
meeting for our Branch because I’m the best Spanish speaker in the 
district.  It was fun.  I really enjoy translating.    

Last night we were invited to a New Year's Eve party at a member's 
home in the Benton ward.  It was great and we ate a lot of cookies. 
Love you guys! 


Love Elder Merrill
