It was so great to talk to you all on christmas! That was so much fun. The 40 minutes went by fast but I understand why it is only 40 minutes. I feel like if it was longer than that then it would make me homesick! But I am still in missionary mode so I think that was the perfect amount of time. I love you all! It was weird to see Jonny as not a missionary. You all seem like you're doing great! So it is 4 degrees outside today. That's pretty crazy. Very very cold.
This week has been good! Pretty slow because pretty much everyone is home for Christmas.
Thursday we had district meeting in the morning which was good! It was weird though because my other district meetings had been with companionships that I would only see once a week. But now since I am on OSU I see my whole district every day haha! It's cool though. I like my district. After that we went on campus and contacted a bit. We had a lesson with a recent convert and he is super cool! Since we got doubled in to a sisters area investigators and converts are used to sisters and not elders so it is different for them but we seem to be getting along with everyone that the sisters were teaching so that's good! We talked to a lot of people on campus. So it was a good day! 
Friday we were really in a groove in the morning talking to people. You walk up to someone and talk to them while they are walking and then when that conversation is over you find another person. It's a lot different than missionary work in Bellefontaine but it is really fun! We talk to a lot of different people majoring in lots of different things. Fun stuff. We had a lesson with one of the progressing investigators in This area over Facebook! That was really cool. She is awesome and the transition from sisters to elders didn't seem to effect her. She was even asking us questions that she didn't want to ask the sisters so that was a good sign! 
Saturday campus was completely dead. And it was so cold. We had one lesson that day so that was good but the rest of the day we walked around trying to find people and talked to as many people as we could but that was only like 7 people. I'm excited for Christmas break to end so there will be 60,000 people to talk to haha! 
Sunday was Christmas eve! That was a great time. We had church which is always great. We went and talked to some people after church. And then we went to Bishop Keyes house for dinner and games! We played apples to apples as a district and that was so much fun. Apples to apples is such a funny game.
Monday was Christmas! And I got to Skype you all. That was so much fun! And then after that we we contacted people over Facebook and then went to the Barnhouses' for dinner! We played spot it too! Thanks for that! The Barnhouses used to live in Vancouver! They said they lived in the salmon creek area.
Tuesday we got back in the swing of things and tried to talk to as many people as possible. But not many people.
It was a good week! Elder Morse is so much fun as a companion. And it's always nice to be able to talk about the Northwest and he knows the places I am talking about! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I love you!! Thank you for everything!
Your son,
Elder Collier
