Hey family what's up,
Everything is fun here, this last week has been great, I found out that I am over all the youth for the whole stake, which means where ever there is youth I go. So I go anywhere and everywhere I want to go in the stake which is awesome.
Elder Mellor is fun, we have a lot of fun together. Did I tell you about me knowing him before? Well on my second transfer and his first transfer we told each other that we would be companions and what do ya know we are companions, cool huh?
So today I have pday which means we are headed to pikes place after emailing.
About the sword they are just small samurai swords so probably not that heavy.
Oh and the reason I want that 50 dollars is to help me buy a GPS I need about that much to buy one, because my area is roughly 30 square miles and there is no way I am ever going to be able to memorize that big of an area so if ya could send some money that would be awesome.
Anyways love ya all and have a great Christmas.
Love,
Elder O'Brien
P.S. I will call you guys when I find out where I am calling from.
12/14/10 News from Seattle 3rd!!!
Hey family,
Transfers where today and I got a new companion and a new area which I'm a little bummed because I loved Burien ward, but hey good news I made senior companion so I must be doing something right. I am also in a car which I am the driver, woot woot, my new comp's name is Elder Mellor from Orem Utah (yeah I know another one of those dang Utahans) what is it with this mission sending so many people from Utah to here (wink wink lol), so I am officially in dad's old stomping grounds downtown Seattle, so where does pappy want me to go?
These last few days have been very sad having to leave my favorite area in the whole world, the Burien ward. I got a lot of hugs, no kisses thank goodness from my Chuuk and all the people I visited, apparently I was everyone's favorite missionary because everyone gave a lot of parting gifts or maybe it is just the Christmas season, either or. But yeah my favorite family the Dacus's gave me a bunch of presents, I got a few toys and a few ties, I think one of my favorite gifts was when I was doing some service for a less active guy and when he heard that I was going he went into his bedroom and brought out not 1 not 2 but three swords and gave them to me. I told him I couldn't take them, but he said it would break his heart so I said yes and then he made a comment, think of it as my Christmas present to you from me, so yeah I might be mailing home some swords, just because I don't want to lug them all over the place and don't freak it wasn't my fault, is the season to be jolly right?
About the Christmas presents, don't need any clothing I'm good in that department, how bout I make it easy for ya, just give me 50 bucks or something like that and a few goodies and I will be happy with that.
I could use a couple more temple slips that would be nice, tho I did forget to take one to the temple this last time I went, so yeah that's all I need.
Love ya much,
Elder O'Brien

12/7/2010 Greetings from Burien!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey y'all how have you been doing,
Life is great here as usual don't have that much to report tho these past three days has been awesome. First on Saturday we had dinner with our Chuuks and they sent us home with a lot of food and then on Sunday we went to our bishop's house the Pulokas, the Tongans in our ward, and they sent us home with a lot of food. Then yesterday we went to a single's potluck and they sent us home with a lot of food. We have dinner tonight at the Dacu's an awesome family in our ward and no doubt they will sent a lot of food home with us as well, so yeah mom you you don't have to worry about your son not getting fed. Elder Armstrong and I are getting stuffed hopefully it won't put too much weight on. lol
Oh and we also was able to go to the temple today so that was as always a very spiritual experience and that is about all to report.
So ta ta.
Love ya,
Elder O'Brien
