חג מולד שמח عيد ميلاد مجيد Feliz Navidad Buon Natale felicem natalem Christi 메리 크리스마스 לעבעדיק ניטל καλά Χριστούγεννα щасливого Різдва Feliz Natal Merry Christmas!!! I hope you all have a very great Christmas. I would normally write a big email, but I'm celebrating La Navidad like the rest of you, so I'll give you guys a short summary of what went on last week, and you will get a full email sometime in the future (maybe)! What happened :  - Decided to make a goal to listen to  all  of Pres. Nelson's talks (General Conference, MTC, BYU, etc)  - Discovered Pres. Nelson learned and read the bible in Hebrew (Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew)  - Decided I would learn Hebrew to be able to read the Bible in that language  - Discovered that Gospel Library has no Hebrew translation (something to do with it being a dead language)  - Decided to switch the language to Arabic  - Realized Arabic is hard  - Is questioning life decisions.  ...

Clue° IRL - Even With Real Murder!

Alex Orellano , Pistol , Plaza Yep, you're reading that title right! The Murder Capitol of the world is finally pulling through! No, they didn't murder me, and I wasn't in any danger, but I'll get into that story in a bit. Hi friends! This week has been very busy in the work of the Lord, and I have felt very fulfilled, even more so now that I have an interesting story to tell for this weekly report! Somehow, this next week will be even more busy than this week (holiday fun!), so I'm very excited to report on what is coming up!   This time, I'm going to start with a spiritual thought so I get it over with, and hopefully sometime soon I can get out a whole email dedicated to a spiritual thought (or thoughts). M Russell Ballard's Wisdom In the weeks after his death, I decided to start going through every talk he ever gave.  It's much easier to listen to a bunch of BYU talks all at once, so I downloaded every one of his BYU talks, and just this week I finish...

Sooo... I'm Not Sure What To Name This Weekly Email.

Full title: Sooo... I'm not sure what to name this weekly email. It's not that there aren't cool things to title this - a lot of stuff happened this week, for example: We had a stake activity, choir practices, two ward councils, divisions, district council, awesome lessons, and more! But I'm saving those for the bulk of the email. *Sigh*, I'm sad that I only have 1 hour to write an email because I could honestly write forever, but I need to better spend my time doing other things - Like baking pizza! Now, I'm not sure how much more I'll write here in the title because I need to put the pizza in the oven, but I hope that you guys have a great time and I applaud you for reading this instead of the rest of my email! I hope these shenanigans can make you laugh. One a final note, have you seen the new Wonka movie? I have to wait 19 more months before I can watch it, so you'll need to tell me if it's even worth the watch ;) I hope you didn't read the w...
