Hi! Man you are gonna be in Boise for a long time, haha I am excited to see the baby! Tell Jenni and Greg good luck for me and that I will be praying for them. Also ask Jenni if she ever got my birthday letter I sent her.
I never met that girl but that is way cool!!! Do the missionaries have a lot of success around there? I have always wanted to spend some time with them and look at their numbers and find out how the mission works there.

That is funny about the Fb requests. It is probably just a bunch of RMs from here. I am glad your friends with Tina too! I saw Elder Berryessa this week and he always gives me an update on her. I am so excited for her to get her patriarchal blessing! Man I dont think anything has ever made me happier than seeing her progress in the gospel. That is so crazy all these girls on missions! I was hoping Cassie would come here. I could totally see her as a Kirtland sister. So hearing that some of those boys could be on a mission before I am even home made me sick haha and maybe question the new age change! haha kidding! There is a little difference in the ones that haven't lived away from home. Not so much in the work but just like street smarts and stuff. Like Elder C and Elder H have a hard time shopping, haha they are just confused and don't know where things are or what to buy. I never realized it, but living away from home gets you used to things like that.
That's cool Steph wrote you! I love her, she is one of the few girls I know that has her crap together in her life haha.
This week went really well. We had our Christmas conference in the Kirtland Temple which was awesome as always. I don't think it was as good as last year, but it was still cool. We got to go look at the nativity display at the historic site and it was so sweet. There were like 700 nativities and stuff, it was cool. Also the Thompson's came. I don't know if I have told you about them but they are like my favorite members ever. He was reactivated and she was baptized a couple years ago and they LOVE missionaries. Like its crazy how much they love them haha, but I told them to be in Kirtland at 4 on Tuesday for a surprise. Then all 8 of the missionaries they know that are still here met up with them and surprised them. They loved it! Sis. Thompson said it was one of the best days of her life haha. They have a huge picture frame on their wall of missionaries wedding announcements haha that's how much they like their missionaries.
Then Elder Johnson and Elder Dowley bore their testimonies and Elder Johnson made me cry. haha I am gonna miss that kid so much. It sucked saying goodbye to him. It was such a good day on Tuesday though. Probably one of the best.
We went on exchanges with the zone leaders this week too. It was funny I went to Garfield heights with Elder Morse and he has only been a zone leader for like 2 weeks and he was like Elder Skalla I have no idea what I am doing or what I am supposed to train you on. I think this exchange is more for you to train me haha. It was fun though. He is like 6'8 so I felt tiny the whole time haha This week should be a good week. There are some people coming from Salt Lake for an LTM on Thursday so that should be good. Still no one significant to tell you about teaching wise unfortunately. Just gotta keep working though. I hope you have an amazing week and have fun with the baby! I love and miss you!!
Elder Skalla
