What's up, Mama?
I am doing good. This past week was good. I got all my stuff moved to Sunnyside. Transfers were good. We live in a little house, just me and Elder J. I like Sunnyside. It just smells all the time everywhere you go
because of the dairy. I don't know if I like that about this place but our
teaching pool is huge! I am so overwhelmed in trying to get everyone's names
straight. That is the hardest part right now. It is a nice place. Elder J calls himself a geek, and I am getting to know him. The members here are great! The ward gives us
tons of referrals. We had did have a Christmas program, but let's just say some of the
musical numbers were a lot better than others.
I have heard lots of good stuff about that movie Frozen. I will have to see
it when I get home. It stinks that Mia didn't make it into the Sound of Music. She can try out next
time though.
That is cool that Brother J is still our home teacher. I bet Grandpa H's was fun.
I love his clam chowder. I . That is exciting
about the bathroom. Be sure and take pics so I can see it.
For Christmas Eve, I will be calling home sometime around 8:30 here so 9:30
there. We can finalize any plans then. I will be Skyping from the ward mission leader's house. It will be sometime around lunch time in Bountiful. I don't
really know an exact time, but it should be close. It
will be soooo fun to talk to you guys. I am super excited. Thank you, Mama, for
all that you do for me. I love you guys sooo much.

What up, Dad!
Transfer week went well. I got to Sunnyside and went right to work. The
mission has two main meeting points in Richland and in Yakima, so we go to the
closest one to our area and then meet up with the new companion
and go to the new area. It would be crazy to have it be like you had where you
just go by yourself haha. We just hop in a car and drive to a meeting point. Not
as exciting as you had it haha. Ellensburg to Sunnyside is only a 45 minute
drive so it wasn't that far to begin with. I am looking forward to talking to
you guys on Christmas too. It will be super fun.
That is okay that you didn't get to see any games yesterday, but try to do better
haha. Updates are fun but not a necessity.
Sunnyside is a crazy place. It is 90% Mexicans who speak only Spanish and a
little bit of English. It is lots of dairies and vineyards. It always smells like
cow dung everywhere you go haha. My new comp is Elder J. He has served in Sunnyside twice on his mission for a total of 10 1/2 months! That is crazy so I
think he is going to leave at the end of this transfer. He has been out pretty
much 18 months. He is very good at member relationships. I
am learning how to best work with him and have fun with it. We have tons of
people in the teaching pool, so much that I am overwhelmed just thinking about
it. I am just trying to learn everyone's face and who they are. It is great
being so busy with teaching though. I wish I could tell you more about our
investigators but I don't know much about any of them. It is crazy haha. We get
tons of teaching though. It is great!
That would have been sooo cool to have been at the Christmas devotional for
your work. I bet it was super sweet to be at. That is good that work is keeping you busy. I am looking
forward to talking to you on Tuesday and Wednesday! It's going to be sweet! I
love you guys and am so grateful for all that you do for me. Talk to you
tomorrow!
Love- Elder Sedlacek
