Merry Christmas, family,
So, I got transferred to Rocklyn 3rd ward. It's a cool place. My companion is Elder Myers. He is from Indiana and wants to be a country singer when he grows up.:) I am going to call on Christmas at 9 our time which is 10 your time. Hopefully that is enough time to get people there. Rocklyn is not flat like Roseville, it is all hill. We live at the top a of a massive hill. I am pretty much going to have thighs of Thor. My last sunday in Roseville was great. We had tons of investigators show up. When I said goodbye to all the members they all told me how much they liked having me in the ward. I almost wanted to cry; all is well. I get to start a new chapter in my mission and I am DL again.
Well I love you and the church is true.
Love,
Elder Hurst

Hello,
All is going well with me. The weather is like in the high 60s, then it rains, then it goes back up. But training is so awesome. I have learned so much about how to do missionary work. We are starting this thing with our members to get them more involved. We picked up a new investigator thak is excited to learn more. She lives right next to the church and has a really good friend in it. Sorry it is short. I have to get going because someone is on their way to pick us up. The church is true.
I Love you and pray for you.
Love,
Elder Hurst

Hey!
I thought you would like this seeing how it is Thanksgiving soon. I am so thankful to know of my Heavenly Father's love. I know that because he has given me such an amazing family that loves and cares about me. I am thankful to know of my Savior Jesus Christ. I am thankful to share the love He has shown me with the people here.
I love you. You are all so amazing.
Love,
Elder Jared Hurst
I AM THANKFUL: FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT. BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO, BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.
FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE TAXES I PAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED .
FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.
FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.
FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME .
FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION .
FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM.
FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS I CAN HEAR.
FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.
FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.
FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.
AND FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
