IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

Well, it has been another good week here in Dubin. Life is awesome as a missionary. Elder Beckstead is still with us and so that has been really good. I love him, he's such a cool guy and he's already my best friend. Elder Musson might be coming back on Saturday so well see if he does. If so, it will be me and Elder Field alone together again. Who Hoo. But moves call is tonight so technically one of us could be moving. We had Presidents interviews on Monday, and I told President I wanted to stay one more moves here and he said okay so we'll see what happens. I Love Presidents Interviews they always lift me up and give me a new motivation to be a better missionary. Presient Creer is awesome. Well Elder Hansen the Elder from Joseph City went home a week or so a go because he had a bad stomach infection so he might be back in January. Lucky Bounder, timed that perfect to be home for Christmas. Just Kidding. I also heard from Elder Musson that My Friend from the MTC Elder Holloway, my long-lost cousin from Idaho went home not for medical just went home he was an awesome missionary it made me sad. Also, a couple others that were in the MTC with us went home already too, their dropping like flies.

Well, this week at church something exciting happened. ROSE AND JOE CAME TO CHURCH. It was amazing. I have been praying for this day for so long. It was so good to see them there. Rose loved it, they only stayed the first two hours but hey that is an awesome start. Joe said he liked sacrament meeting but didn't really like Gospel Principles. I told him one step at a time. So they are progressing nicely. Rose will be ready for baptism pretty soon I hope. I would love to get her baptised. From Alchoholic to Baptism that is a major change so that made my whole week. But Rose said they would be coming back on Sunday so hopefully its all up hill from here.
Well it was sad to hear of Joseph B. Wirthlins death he was one of my favorites. Who can forget his talk about laughing our troubles away last conference. You could tell it was him time, but it is still sad to see him go.
I am getting excited for Christmas. We'll be working hard to get less actives and investigators to our ward Christmas party. In Ireland our church has services on Christmas no matter what day it is so that is intresting. So we will go to church on Christmas. Its good to hear you got your tree up mom and dad. I am sending home my Christmas package today so hopefully it won't take to long to get it there but don't open it until Christmas Eve.
I guess you guys are all getting ready to head to Vegas for a few days. Good Luck Cody!
I see miracles happen every day and it's an awesome to be a missionary at this time in Ireland. I guess you see miracles happen there to. When I read dad's email about Tommy starting to get paid $30.00 dollars an hour I just started balling. The Lord takes care of us and does answer prayers in his own time and his own way.
Well not much new here. Thanks to Mom, Dad and Jamie for the letters. And Aunt Oona, Jamie, Dad and Aunt Marsha for the emails.
I hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving. Ours was good. Bishops wife fed us a good Ham and Turkey dinner, it was very fancy and nice of her. Of course it wasn't near as good as yours mom but it was still good to have Thanksgiving dinner.
Happy Birthday this Next week to Aunt Kathy on Friday, Dawn On Sunday, and Aunt Marsha On Monday. I Hope You guys all have great ones.
I Love you all and I hope you have a good week.
Elder Hancock

Letter to/from Mom

  Good Morning Mom, It was so nice to get an email from you today. I hope you are about to recover from everyone being up to Taylor for Christmas, I bet your ready for some quiet time. Well Elder Hansen, From Joseph City, Is still not back yet but hopefully sometime. Transfers are in 2 weeks so my companion will probably move but we could both stay here we will see. I don't really have any news just getting over being sick but i feel pretty good today so hopefully the worst is past. We were both about to go stir crazy in the flat so it will be good to get back into a routine. I don't know how some missionaries don't work and are lazy, the time goes by so slow when you do that. Everything is much better when you are actually working and having good lessons to teach. "it is only those who do not know how to work who do not truly love it." I got your letter today from a few days after christmas. I'm glad you got your New Years date, that sounds like fun. Well in ...

"I'm Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired"

  Well Good Morning family, Hope this email finds you all well. I have been sick the last four days I just can't seem to get over the bug I have but I am feeling pretty good today so hopefully I will be ready to go out for a regular day tomorrow. It's weird at first I had a bad sore through and my hole body just ached. But then it felt like someone had just been punching my stomach. My stomach has been killing but no throwing up or anything. So, it has been weird but I think it's about gone. But my companion has been sick as well so at least we've been miserable together. It probably doesn't help being couped up in an old mouldy flat. But we both are about to go crazy. So anyways besides being sick I am awesome. So sorry there's not really anything to report I have kind of been out of the loop for a few days. A member named Norman volunteered to take us to Giants Causeway so that will be cool. I think we are going next Wednesday. So that will be awesome we have ...

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Well Hope you all Have a Very Merry Christmas. I just wrote a long email and I did something so the whole thing was erased so now you are going to get a condensed version because I don't have time to write it all out again. I can't believe that I am not going to be home tonight for the big party and for Christmas. I think those are about my favorite 48 hours of the whole year. I heard the Hancock party was fun last night I was wishin I could be there to see all my cousins. But even though I am a little home sick I wouldn't be anywhere else, I'm still lovin the work and grateful for the chance I have to serve. Last night we were tracting, which we have been doing a lot of because its Christmas week and everyone is busy, so we haven't had too many appointments. Anyways so we were tracting and we knocked on this door and a guy named Johnathen answered he is about 23 probably. So we talked to him for a while on the door step and then he said "do you want to come in...
