Hey family,

I'll get the Bentleys your email and they can give you their address, I forgot again :( but she'll want to talk to you anyways probably. No, they live in Appleton on Bateman. Don't worry Mom the presents were perfect, especially the pants. Strangely enough a couple nights before Christmas I was thinking "these pants (of the pajama variety) of mine are too thick and hot, I need something made of a lighter material" and then BAM I got the pants you made. So thank you for reading my mind ahead of time and making them. They are especially cool because they don't have a front or a back, as far as I can tell, so putting them on is that much easier.

You got 5 inches of snow, wow. Hope you could still open the door with all that snow..... Hope you have enough wood for the stove to last you the winter.... *sarcasm* Thats actually a fairly good amount. That snowman is awesome, I like the eyelashes and cap, very original. We haven't built any yet, but the Hmong and Oneida Elders built a pretty good snow cave out of a drift. We need another storm though, there's not a lot of snow left.

Ya the temple was awesome. We did some baptisms (I baptized a very big man, 6' 4" ish, prob weighed 270, good exercise) for Bro Bently's ancestors and then did sealings for like 40 people while Elder Warr went to a wedding of one of his cousins. It was a really good time. Chicago is the closest from a-town and takes about 2 hours 45 min in a minivan so I got a lot of good sleep in.

Well it's official, Oscar and Alma are moving to Texas til April :( We're saying goodbye to them right after this. We're going to get in touch with the missionaries there and tell them about O and A. They went to the Spanish speaking ward down in Neenah yesterday with the Spanish Elders, which was awesome.

Kenneth and Jonathon also came to church again yesterday. Their baptism is going to be in late Jan (prob the 29) and they are both really excited for it. Thank you for all the prayers, I know they are helping.

Yes Dad I love the people.....and the missionaries.... and the animals.....and the packers (who beat the bears!)

Hope you have a fantastic week everyone!

Love
