Working on through the new year......

Hey Mom!
How are you? It was wonderful to be able to talk to you on Christmas! I hope that everything went well and that the Family was able to have a great Christmas!
This week has been really good but very busy! I've been doing a lot of traveling lately which is fun and all but it starts to get old very quickly for three reasons. 1 it cuts our teaching time in half or sometimes it even takes the whole day 2 It gets expensive! Haha I'm only living on 85 bucks a month and cabs are sooo expensive! and 3 it makes our clothes super dirty and hand washing takes forever.
Haha but aside from the traveling I've been doing good, tired, but good.
Since the new year is just around the Corner I thought I'd share a few of my goals with ya :)
I would like to have the Old Testament finished by July..very possible Finish the New Testament in the remainder of the year I would like to not gain any weight--the food here is crazy heavy and a lot of the thinner guys gain a little...Oh and I would also like to read through the Book of Mormon a second time. I'll probably be finished by the end of January with my first go through What are some goals that the family has? This past week Elder Moss and I have been having a lot of lessons with Muslims. It's been interesting. Generally they approach us very close minded and try as hard as they can to disprove the Bible. To use it against itself. But we were able to meet this man named Useph. He is 22 and after our initial contact with him it took us over a week of going to his house every day before we were able to sit down with him for a second time. He is obviously Muslim but is very interested in the Book of Mormon. He has agreed to read portions we give him and also to pray, and we also explained to him the last paragraph in the introduction page. It basically states that if this book is true than Christ IS the Saviour of the world. He's agreed to read, ponder and pray and he understands that if he gets an answer from God that the book is true it also means that Christ was much more than a Prophet-as many Muslims believe. Its going to be very interesting how this man progresses. We'll be seeing him tomorrow hopefully Anyways send my apologies to Pops...It doesn't look like I'll be able to send him a letter this week (time is soooo short) anyways let him know that I got a really good laugh at what Derek said :)
Well I love you all and will talk to you soon!


Love Elder Green
