Has it been six months?

Wow, the time is going so fast, I'm hitting my six month mark in three days.  Elder Bunda is getting transferred.  He is going to be a Zone Leader.  I'm staying here and getting a companion named Elder Elkington.  I think that is his name.  I may be killing him this transfer so that will be pretty cool.
**editors note - "killing him" may refer to this being Elder Elkington's final area or it may mean that Elder Jamison will be pushing Elder Elkington to work very diligently.  I have asked for clarification.

I had a dream last night that I was in a fancy Chinese restaurant and the Millirons were there.  I was in my missionary clothes and I started freaking out.  I saw Noah first.  Then, he took me over to the booth where Sam and his parents were.  It was pretty cool.

I gave myself a haircut this morning... I messed up a bit on the sides.  I cut too high up on my side burns, but it looks good and even and my glasses cover most of it.  Actually, I'm looking pretty studly.

We have been trying really hard to find new people to teach but it is not going too well.  The other Elders in our flat are doing great though - new investigators every day.  That is okay though.  I know that if I am obedient and do all I can, I will do the work God needs me to.  I'm starting to get sick of all the millipedes.  They are super annoying.  We found a half eaten dead rat in our yard yesterday.  It was super gross.  My new study spot is our roof.  It is really cool because I get a great view of the city on one side and a national park on the other.

Our zone has set some amazing goals for this transfer.  We just set a goal to teach and baptize 26 people, which is the sum of each companionship's baptismal goal.  We have decided, as a whole, to give all we can this transfer.  It is our Christmas gift to the Lord.  Our companionship goal is one baptism.  We have four weeks to find, teach, and baptize this person.  Please pray for me.  I need all the help I can get, as does Elder Elkington.

I love you all so much.  Keep strong in the faith and know that Jesus is the Christ.  He lives and, through him, all things are possible.  Never ever give up the knowledge you have for what the world has to offer - like in President Uchtdorf's talk in conference.  "Don't exchange the priceless pearls of true happiness and eternal values for a fake plastic trinket that is merely an illusion and counterfeit of happiness and joy."

I love you all so much and I love Jesus Christ and my Father in Heaven.

Love,
Elder Jamison
