Well, first things first. I fear I haven't written you in awhile, and I want to appologize. I try to write to everyone, but often I run out of time. Know that I always read you letters, and I love to see what you write, so don't think that I don't love you.
Now, as far as the Book of Mormon goes, it appears I have taken the lead again for a while. I'm in 3 Nephi 5, so I'm not too far ahead. I am trying to keep up on my reading, so hopefully I'll finish before the end of the year. Thank you for letting me catch up though. XD I don't know that I'll be winning, but we'll see what happens.
I must admit I am a bit jealous of the snow you guys have. I think you would like it here. I'm currently in a short sleave shirt with no problems from the cold. From what I've heard they've never had snow in my area, so I really don't have hope for a white Christmas. A green Christmas maybe. We also have our Christmas tree as well. The only thing is that it stands less than a foot tall. Still, it was what we could afford. We don't have any crocheted tacos though. Just the real ones. I like those better anyways.
As far as Bring a Torch, I was pretty sure that Janette and Isabella were two different people, but I didn't actually know. I guess you learn new things everyday. Speaking of learning new things, it looks like somebody has learned how to do math. At least you can know that it is impossible to be worse at math than my current companion. I'm not sure how he made it through High School, or Prepa as those in the know (AKA Mexicans) call it. The scariest thing is that he has talked about studying to be an engineer. (OK, weird side note here. I will admit that as a missionary I have used google translate a lot to help me. However, up to this point I have not had to use it to help me remember how to spell a word in English. I say up to now because I just had to use it to remember how to spell engineer. (Apparently it's not engeneer. (Parenthseption XD)))
OK, that's what I've got for you this week. I love you, and I'll try to write you more often. If I don't write you next week, I'll talk to you on Christmas. Speaking of which, It would help if you passed me your Skype information so that I can call you guys. From what I've heard, we have a mission activity until 3 (I think caroling) and then we will be calling home. (3:00 here is 2:00 in Utah.) So I will be calling sometime after that. I'll try to have more information next week. Ok, that's it I think. I love you.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
