I'm actually glad to hear it's cold back home because then I can actually use some of my scarves and coat still! I love it~ Still no real sign of snow here, but the ground was a little icy this morning. Little slippy already! I've heard some predictions that snow may not really come until after Christmas, sad day! I was hoping to at least a bit 'fore I go.

Good to know school stuff is all cleared and ready to go! You are miracle workers~ The Sepps were so thrilled to help us out. They are such gems! Night school.....meh. Not too excited about that, but maybe I'll just have to suck it up for this semester, 'cause then it looks like all the business credits will be done in one semester, leaving me with basically just electives until graduation. That's nice to think about :)

I'll really try to locate a nativity. That may be hard to find, but if there are any here in Estonia, I'd be sure they'll be in Old Town. There's a little Christmas fair in the main plaza, I've seen it from afar, but haven't walked around to see what's at the booths. I'll see if I can get some tips on nativity whereabouts from members... call in the favors! I'll be going to Pärnu actually this Friday, and I talked to a member down there about the bunny hats. She said she think she saw them at a shopping center, so I'll check that out!

It's interesting to give people an ultimatum because then they'll actually find, or make time to meet with you, hahaha! I've been texting and calling some investigators and less-actives in order to meet, so we already have a few appointments almost every day this week. It's been really fun meeting with these people whom I've grown really close with over the last few months here. I bore a one minute testimony in sacrament meeting, and then the branch president asked Elder Broby to share his too since he's leaving as well. Funny thing is, we haven't heard if we're actually speaking next Sunday...? Does that mean we're off the hook? Honestly speaking, I have never been asked to speak in sacrament meeting. I've only just rarely testified on Fast Sundays so that it's the members' chance to shine. That's really odd :P This past week was amazing, and this week looks to be the same! Thanks for all of the love and prayers! I'm enjoying every moment.

Love,
