My sunday was good, we just got back from dropping off 200 sack dinners at a homeless shelter with all the members in our YSA ward. It was awesome to give those out and to talk to a few of the people there and to bring the light of christ into their lives.
 
Awesome to hear the Juston just got home. Say hi for me and tell him I have 3 transfers left...
I hope to end my mission in a spanish area, so that I have that same problem. I am sick of speaking english, I miss the hispanic people.

What a great experience. I've always wanted us to go to a soup kitchen or something like that at Thanksgiving. I love the thought of serving. Maybe this next year we can do that. 

How is the companionship situation?  Do you think you will be transferred from an assistant back to the field before you come home. They say each mission is different but that the president sometimes likes that to be your last experience, to teach and be close to the people.  

You know The Lord will put you where you are suppose to be for those who need you as well as what you need. Embrace these last few months. They will go by quickly. I love that your homecoming is so close but I know you will miss the daily experiences as a missionary. Enjoy each day!

Love, mom

I love you too Mom!

It was very rewarding. Just to talk to them, and lift them up in a time of need was great for all of us to experience.
 
The companionship situation has gotten a little better. We have had some long conversations about things, and it has helped a little. I won't talk about it too much, cause I don't want you to think he is a bad guy. I love him, just personality differences are hard to get past some times.
 
I think that I will go to a different area before I come home.  Assistants have never been called as early on as I was. So, I think he could send me back out, but you never know.
 
I love you Mom, Thanks for the asvice and encouragement. I needed that. This last week was hard cause I am realizing how short my time is, and I want to be doing more. I know I have done all that the Lord wanted, but I just want it to last longer. This really is his work.

HEy Family,
 
Another crazy week as the assistant to the mission president. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we have trainings from 9-4 with all themissionaries in the whole mission. This time, I am the senior assistant, and it puts a whole new level of pressure on me. I sware, president is trying to see how far I can succeed. I have found that I flourish when I have no idea what to train on, or when president tells me a new topic right before I get up in front of all the missionaries. The spirit is a wonderful thing that helps so much, and I am so thankful for a heavenly father that would allow me to have that.
 
So, on sunday I was talking to one of our investigators, and he has not been able to get baptised, because he is facing a trial for a ridiculous situation that he shouldnt be tried with. Anyways, I was like, lets put our faith in god, and plan for your baptism, and I know that he will help. So he is on date to be baptized in a few weeks. So, We are super excited to help him, and pray that his charge gets dropped, which it should.
 
i love you family. Stay warm, cause I am using all my christmas goodies to stay warm too.
 
Love,
Elder Cybulski

It has been really cold here too. We have been in the below 10s almost this whole week. It has not  been fun. We got snow as well, but not as much as yall. We are supposed to get some more tonight I heard.
 
That is so exciting that you are in the primary. You are gonna do great in there. The Lord is keeping you in touch with the little ones, cause we are all getting bigger lol.
 
I am so happy to hear that you are taking care of the missionaries there. It really means a lot to them that you do that, and I am sure they really love all our antics lol. Say hi to them for me, and tell them to keep up the good work. And tell them to take halle teaching with them.
 
So carli told me that she has been trying to get in touch with halle lately, but halle has not responded. Tell halle to respond! She has talked to kip, but not carli...
 
I have not got a package yet, but I will open it on valentines day, thanks for the heads up. Love you guys!
