new area info

To all at home and abroad.  I am happy to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Mom
I have a check up with the surgeon today.  Hopefully no cast, but we'll see I did get a nice set of X-rays.

I also lost my other suit in transfers along with all my ties, so now I'm just wearing one ugly clip on (from Leah).  That said some brothers from the ward are going to put together a few choice ties.

 Right well here is more information about the area.

I cover the four wards in the Mesa Central Stake Enrose, Harris 1st and 2nd and Grandview 2nd.  It is an awesome area with lots of prepared people.
We don't have a car, so the T-wreck has been repaired and continues to press forward.  Surprisingly there are some new sounds coming from the tire, which honestly are no cause for concern.  I had the opportunity to attend three Christmas programs yesterday.  All were wonderful.  My favorite was the second.  They had tone chimes and a stand up bass, which really filled out the sound.  With out the bass there isn't much power behind the choir, especially when the basses are hard to hear over the tenors and altos.  I also got to hear I heard the Bells on Christmas Day several times, which I greatly enjoyed.

As to my new companion, his name is Elder Kirwan from North Carolina  He has been out a few days over two months, so he is another young missionary companion, but by no means is he green.  We get along well and enjoy living in a apartment above the garage of a member family.  It is called the carriage house, and I"ll have to get pictures somehow. 

I already opened all my presents a few days ago, which I know will cause some distress from my older siblings.  That said what better way to focus on other people and helping them feel the spirit of Christmas then opening presents early.  That way I won't be focused on myself.  Not to mention some of the gifts were needed ie. batteries.

Next weeks email I promise will contain the great experiences of this Christmas season.

Love,
Elder Davidson
