okay I just about died when I saw that picture of Cal in the snow! That is too cute! the scotts also sent me some pictures and they are all so big! I hardly recognized them, they are all so adorable! 

   well I am also just going to write a quick letter so we will have lots to talk about on Christmas! I got your package and I loved it!!! Thank you so much! I was so excited and my companion and I have been blasting the music every day and singing at the top of our lungs, we were so tired of hearing the same 5 songs, it was so wonderful to get new music! We hung our stockings up on a rope where we hang our clothes to dry and our house finally has that little chritmas spirit it was lacking! and the picture book was so fun! I love getting pictures and everyone looks so good. who the heck is that kid sam is holding?!? oh wait THATS MY NEPHEW! i seriously dont even recognize the kid, he looks so old! Everyone looked so cute, it made me so happy!

    My zone performed our christmas program in the middle of the busiest street in Reu and my solo was a little more intimidating, but it was really fun! on sunday bishop got up in the middle of sacrament and said, and now we will hear a special musical number by hermana outsen for christmas, and that is all the warning I had! that is the second time this month he has surprised with a special musical number, ha ha. I literally sing at everything! I have performed more on my mission already then I think I have my entire life! its alright though because singing is fun! 

    Well I think I am going to skype sometime between 4 or 5, I hope that works for everyone!  I can hardly wait, I am so off the wall, slap happy excited to talk to you IN LIKE TWO DAYS!! YAY YAY YAYA! 

   Feliz navidad! see you on wednesday!! love you to the moon and back!

con mucho amor,

hermana outsen
