Merry Christmas Everybody!
Another good ol' week in japan. I got a new companion named Elder Akagi from Utah. He is half Japanese and way awesome. We came to Japan at the same time which is pretty fun. We spent most of the week looking for investigators and spreading Christmas cheer. I dressed up like Santa, and we went around singing to people on the street and trying to explain to everyone what Christmas was all about. It was super fun. My companion and I met a guy while housing, and the first thing he said was " I have no interest in what you have but I like the hymn book" so after he told me I couldn't show him the hymn book, I took it out anyway and my companion and I sang, "Joy to the World". It was cool and he gave us an apple. Our Christmas party had a good turn out and this cool Nigerian guy that I randomly called from our phone showed up. He is going home for a month, but will be back in February.

Merry Christmas.
How have you been? It'll be fun to skype you guys in the next week or so. When will work best for you guys? I have to confirm it today. Missionary work has been good. We haven't found any new investigators which is rough but we will find some. New Years is the biggest deal in Japan so even our mission president told us to take 3 or some odd days off to deep clean our apartment and try to read the whole Book of
Mormon and stuff like that. How's work been going? Are all of your Christmas master plans coming together? I got the package from you guys but I haven't opened it yet. Should I wait until Christmas?
Here's me dressed up like Santa at the ward Christmas party. We also visited an old folks home with the whole ward and sang to them and stuff. There were probably over a hundred of them there and I shook all of their hands and they were just all so happy that we had come and it was awesome. Christmas time is just so happy. I asked one guy on the street last week what he thought the meaning of Christmas was and he said in English "lovely" but he meant love. Everyone else just says to eat cake and stuff, so it stuck out to me how Christ is love, and he wants to help everyone whether they want it or not. I'll talk to you soon.
Love you.
Love,
Eli

Hey Mom and Family!
It sounds like everyone is working hard at this time of the year. Keep up the hard work. I got the package you sent!!! Thank you!!! I haven't opened it because I didn't know if I should wait for Christmas. Also, the old missionary couple is taking us to Costco today so any suggestions? Also when is best to skype? They said the 25th or 26th is
best over here but we can do it until the 30th. I'll see when my companion wants to do it. How is everyone? It snowed over here! Here are some pictures! Love you guys.
