Today's email session was great! Elder Sed had a good Thanksgiving and a much better week than the one before. Getting good news is the best.

How are you doing today!
I am doing great. This week was lots better than last week. Last week kinda
sucked. This week didn't though. Thanksgiving was fun. We went to two houses. The
H family and the P family. They are both really cool families. We also had lots of
food. It was really good. We just had the traditional stuff it seemed, although
we had fried shrimp too with the H's. It was really good. I didn't take any pics
but I guess I should have haha. It was super fun to go to the members' houses and
just kinda relax for a bit. I really liked Thanksgiving. Thanks for the pics--I like the blue on the Christmas tree. I was pretty surprised to not see it red and gold haha. That seems like
what it was all growing up for me. The blue looks really good. Are you still
keeping the super big tree? I really liked that one. Wow, you went shopping on Black Friday?! That is a first haha. Was it the early time
or later in the day? I bet it was later that you went. I bet my Christmas
package will be awesome. I will save some stuff to open on Christmas--it's more
fun that way. Just wrap up some of it and I won't open it till Christmas. I will
love it I am sure.
That's great church was good. Brother P did send me an email. I haven't read it yet
though. He is awesome, I agree.
That is so many indexed names! The wards out here can barely hit
100,000. Oak Hills ward way to represent! haha You will have to let me know how Mia
does in her audition. I wish her luck. That is great Lib is doing the choir. Did she do it
because of Mia?
Thank you for all that you do Motha. I am proud of you too haha. I am going to be making a Christmas card and
sending it out.
I pray for you guys too, just so you know haha.

Dear Pops a lot!
This week was great. 3 NEW INVESTIGATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote
about it a little in a letter I just sent, but we found three new ones and one is on
date for the 14th of December. That is a WHITE Christmas if I say so myself
haha. Challenge: Check! It is right, I only have 2 Christmas' in the field. I am
sure it will be one of the most memorable. It's great to be serving a mission.
Honestly!
That would have been fun to go to the Utah game. Who did they play? They do
need a new quarterback. The one they have now sucks it seems. Kyle better not
leave while I am gone! It is good that Utah State won. They sound
like they are doing great still. It does not surprise me one bit about
the Jazz. Rebuilding years are no fun for the fans.
I saw the new tree in the pic mom sent. Looks really good. We haven't had
snow up here yet. Just rain and lots of it. I would rather have rain though. Our
car probably wouldn't do so hot in the snow haha. The "maliboat" (chevy malibu)
kinda sucks. Oldest car in the mission. It's just nice to have a car though. It
is sure nice to have when it is 7 degrees outside haha. I wouldn't doubt it if
the storm we just had gave you guys snow. It's a pretty good one. I am sure Jared
will love it though. I am doing alright. I am staying warm too. I am looking
forward to the letter you sent. I haven't gotten it yet but probably soon I will.
That is good that work is going good for you.
Dang, I was hoping you had some pranks haha. Elder S is just a
prankster haha. Sometimes I just have to set him straight haha. It seems that
is all I can remember really well too--the people and the experiences I am having. I guess
that is what matters most. It's what you learn from.
Our investigators have been doing much better this week. Vince, the one
we have on date for the 14th, is really excited to get baptized and he really
wants me or Elder S to do it so he is trying really hard to get ready for
then. We have a couple others who are doing great. Tomara, Lizzy, and John are
doing good. They are just trying to work toward baptism. John is a boyfriend to a member so that is how he got interested. Lizzy is a 9 year old
daughter of a less-active member who really wants to be baptized. We are working
with the family and her to progress towards coming to church again. Other than
that, those are really our main investigators for right now. It's been a much better and successful week. It was super nice to have. We
will get to talk on Christmas but it is just figuring out where I will be and when first. Transfers are on the 18th and I probably wont stay in Ellensburg for too much longer. Only time will tell. I will let you guys know as it
gets a little closer.
Thank you for all that you guys do for me. I love you all lots!
Love, Elder Sedlacek
