My boots did come thank you so much for them! I'm excited to get the Christmas package! It's crazy it's already Christmas time! Have you decorated yet? Are you gonna participate in #LightTheWorld? I am so excited for it! What Christmas songs are you singing for choir?
Thanksgiving was really fun. No Turkey bowl which was sad. But we had district meeting that morning and that's always a good time. My district is so awesome. After district meeting we went to the Yorgasons for dinner! They deep fried their Turkey! It was super good. We didn't get to slaughter it though. They did that a few days before. It was fun to hang out with them for a bit. They are a really awesome family. I was thinking about how thankful I am for so many things. I realized that I have been so blessed in my life. Growing up with the gospel in my life has blessed me so much. I am thankful for the way you and Dad raised us. 
On Friday we had a lesson with Patrick. He played the guitar for us and sang a song he wrote. It was awesome. And then we taught him and he is now on date to be baptized! I am really excited for him. Sadly I might get transferred out of Bellefontaine so I might not be here for it. But I am still really excited for him! He is so cool. Then we had a lesson with another investigator that night and it went really well! 
We have been extremely low on miles because it's the end of the month so to save miles on Saturday we walked a lot. It was very very cold but it was good. We knocked on a lot of doors and talked to some people on the street. No one was really interested but at least we talked to people! 
Sunday was a little discouraging. No investigators came to church again. That is the hardest thing to get people to do out here because the church is so far away. And you can't drive to everyone's house and get them to come. But next week we are going to go to Patrick's in the morning to make sure he comes. We talked to some potentials that night and they were interested so we are going to teach them so that's really exciting!
Monday was exchanges! I was with Elder Palmer my district leader. He is from Idaho. He is really awesome. And we were able to talk about sports and that was much needed. We knocked doors pretty much all day and we found 3 new investigators! It was a lot of fun and I noticed that I have grown so much already. I am not as scared to talk to people I don't know! I've learned that the trick is that you just have to start talking. It is awkward at first but then you keep talking and it gets better haha!
Tuesday was pretty good too. We knocked doors in the morning. We had 3 lessons but 2 of them fell through. We taught Patrick again though! He is excited to be baptized. It's really cool to see his desire!
Well that was my week! It was pretty good! I love you!
Your son,
Elder Collier
