Merry Christmas Naked Homeless Man

Family ~

Hey. Things here are going great. This week we got to go to the temple. It was incredible. The work is a little slow right now, what with everybody going out of town and all, but we're still working hard.

Elder Sam Drake went home today. I will miss that man. He spent some time with us these last few weeks (he didn't have a companion nor an area). He kind of made me feel like I was also going home today. We saw a bum in the park with his pants down. You could see everything. Drake just looked at me with a serious face and said, "This is it. My misión is complete. I can finally go home." It was hilarious. But I wish him the best.

It hit me that I don't have much time left. Fifteen weeks to be exact. And several things have made me think about my misión. I've been wondering how I can be better and what it would take for me to be the missionary the Lord wants. I love the first three verses of 1 Corinthians 13. Charity means everything. If I have not charity, I am nothing. Many times, we go through the motions to achieve certain goals, but we don't understand the big goal. And if we do the Lord's work for any other purpose besides charity, it profiteth us nothing.

I love you guys and hate this keyboard. Don't be mad if the letters become shorter. You will only get like fourteen more anyway. But I will talk to you guys on Thursday. You can call me at like 7 {my time}. I dont know what time that is AZ time. Call my cell phone. It's . . . 552*******.

Love,

Elder Romney is ALWAYS looking for ways to be/do better. No wonder he is so cool.

What handsome, charming missionaries. I'm sure you are looking as forward to that call on Thursday as I am for Friday. Yeah! It can't come soon enough!
Merry Christmas to the Romney family! Julie
