Sup Stinker Bones,

This week was just lovely.  All my Christmas presents were just great except for the maroon sweater you sent me.  You know, I hate maroon.  (I think he's making this up--we didn't sent him a sweater.)  

Christmas was tight.  On Monday night (Christmas Eve), we had a family home evening with the zone that was super sick.  We sang Christmas songs, read from Luke 2, bore testimony, and ate food.  It all had a real nice "romantic" feel to it cause the power is still out, so we did everything by candlelight.  It was sweet though.  The spirit was strong.  And one of the dudes in the zone has a super good singing voice, so we had him do a solo--it was nice.

And calling the fam was sweet too.  I was stoked that it was a good reception this time.  Most especially it was fun pranking Becca.  I'm glad I did too cause now I have a lot of important data I can use in the future.  

Also, the other day I finally achieved one of my mission goals--I finally ate bat like I've always wanted.  Actually, it was pretty good.  It was all cooked up and looked like a dinosaur.  I ate its tongue to prove that I am a warrior.  

And our baptism for Selina was way tight.  Selina is the dopest.  I'm so stoked for her.  We had to do the baptism in my last area in Aleisa cause our water is still out and we weren't able to fill up the font in Lepale.  So we just packed everybody into our van and spanked our way over there.  I got to do the baptism.  It was the dankest of all.  Good day for sure.

Oh yeah, I guess I haven't written anything about my comp.  His name is Elder Faitau.  He's a short little Samoan dude.  His head probably only comes up to my shoulder.  He finishes his mission in April, so he only has a few months left.  He lives like fifteen minutes from our area.  We drive through his village like every Monday.  He is a funny little dude, but he's a good missionary.  We get along super good, so it's good.

Thanks for all the packages and everything.  I was mega stoked.  I gave my comp the "Payson Utah" shirt.  He was so stoked on it.  He looks like a true Davis when he wears it.  

Keep your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground.
