One More Day, But Who's Counting???

Since our computer has been down, this letter from Rees is a little late, but amazing as usual!!! Tomorrow is Christmas, and I must say that I am more excited to talk to Rees than open presents!!! So here is his letter from Monday!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hey Fam!
How´s things back home this holiday season? Is it cold there? Just like two days ago, it got really cold here. It has been a bit harder to get up in the mornings too. The gas to turn on the heater to heat the water is like frozen every morining so it takes like 15 minutes just to get the thing going. But it´s much more enjoyable than the heat, so I´m not complaining. The work picked up quite a bit this week too. The Lord always knows when we need a little boost from him. I sure hope I still see miracles like these after the mission. I never understood before how much the Lord really loves us. He just wants to drown us with blessings, we just have to do the little he asks of us. We´re all pretty excited here this week. I´m excited to talk to you all. I think I´ll call between like 12 and 2. Tell the Kings to be there so I can say hi to them ( if they´re not in california). So ya, the 24th is the big day here to celebrate so this cool family invited us to go eat dinner with them and then on friday we´re gonna eat with this other family that lived in California for a long time. They´ll be sure to hook us up with some good food. And christmas morning we´re gonna go as a zone to an old folks home here in our zone and sing and play games and give them some little gifts for a couple hours. It should be fun. I cant tell you all how much I love you and appreciate you. It´s so amazing being able to be here for christmas. I cant believe its already the last one. I better get to work so I dont lose any more of the time I got left. I love you guys. Tell everyone I wish them a merry christmas. Granny and Laura, thanks a ton for the money. It´s definitely what a missionary needs most. = ) I appreciate the love and support. Love, Rees P.S. Thanks for the package mom and dad.
