Hey family!

Its been a long 10 days since I last wrote to you. I´m excited that everything is coming together well for Amber and Kyle's wedding. I wish I could be there, but I´m guessing that Amber will put my face on a cardboard cut out or something... haha..

This week I had a wedding of my own. There was a family in our ward that had been waiting for 9 years to get married, and the missionaries had been passing there for 2 years to help them. I went there and told them, "I´m here to help you guys get married in the least amount of time possible". I loaned them the money to pay for the wedding, and they were finally married this past Saturday. They said they´d pay me back, but I´m not horribly concerned. I just felt good that I was able to help them on this special day. The husband was an excommunicated member who is returning to the church, and the wife was baptised right after the wedding ceremony. It was definately a wedding and baptism that I´ll never forget, and it was the first family that I was able to help on my mission.

I didn´t get transferred this week. I´m staying with Elder Kutomi for 6 more weeks. He´s doing a ton better now. His attitude is tons better now, and he´s learning really fast. I feel like this transfer should be a lot better than the last one. Last transfer I learned a lot of patience.

I love you guys. I´ll write you again in just a couple days on Monday. Thanks for the emails, and letters, and I can´t wait to talk to you on Christmas!

love, Elder Forsyth
