Well hello again. I am glad Cristmas went well for evryone. I already told you mostlyabout mine. We did have a good cristmas lunch but for dinner we did have a sack lunch but it was ok. At the end of the day we had the painter, greg olsen, come and speak. it was really good because he talked about visualizing christ being with us and that's something i need to know how to do. I haven't met the new Dutch Elders yet so i guess i'll tell you about them next week. They came in but they have a bunch of stuff to do because they're noobs. I heard some partially reliable news from an unsure source that the other Elders going to Suriname made it there this week. So hopefully it's true and it will work out for me when the time comes. Thank you for the letters of encouragement. I think I'm figuring out how to be myself and do this work at the same time. I'm starting to be happier this week because I only have 3 weeks left and i get to start over with new scenery. I think i really need it because this place has seemed like something that everybody just wants to leave so that's made kind of a negative environment for me. I'm going to try to make these last 3 weeks good though. Maybe I can help the new Dutch Elders have a more positive outlook. At the midpoint in the MTC they usually change the district leaders but not with me. Probably because it's not that stressful to be district leader over one person so they figured they would just let elder bastian handle it. I'm fine with the idea of minimum responsibility for me:) I hope you didn't worry about me e mailing late again. we couldn't go to the temple these past 2 weeks so i just did this during me temple time. next week i'll be doing this again sometime around 2 o clock. They just cloced for Christmas and cleaning i think....yeah the temple i mean. You can lecture me or ramble on all you want in your letters because i find your info very valuable. You two have done this bofore and i haven't. I think you could tell me and random thing and i would read it over and over again. Since Christmas this week hasn't been very eventful. It's just gotten snowy and cold and the only thing i can think about is the warm Surinamese sunshine. But the heat and humidity really don't sound that fun. One of the Dutch teachers was telling me what it's like there and he said the culture is very rasta. Everybodies rolling a duby all the time so i might want to think now on how to teach the word of wisdom effectively. So jase got a long board huh? he's only had me car for a month and he's already cheating on it....shame.... I want you to know that i really am doing better. Teaching is freaking me out less. I feel Pretty confident in my ability to get a message across, but being evaluated still bothers me. one of my teachers said she hated that too but when she got in the feild and was really do ing it she was fine. I love you all. I hope new years is great! Next time i e mail you i will have a week and a half left! love Hayden NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
