Hi Momma!!

Yeah yesterday with MLK the library was closed and we didn't really have the opportunity to email but today we went to a business center really close to our apartment complex. So I could email from the business center here or at the library not too far from us but its got some more distance and we are on bike.

This week we got to go eat dinner with three families. The Cases', Browers, and the Francis' which was pretty fun. I heard what happened with Cami so I hope everything goes well back in the office and I hope Cami is doing alright too.

Sounds like you were having a lot of fun with the kiddos and their busy busy schedules. Funny how at so young they could be so busy all the time. I am learning a little bit of Spanish from my companion but I haven't asked to learn any I guess. I could have him teach me but we need all the time we can get to talk to people during the day because on bike it takes some time and distance to travel to people and we are talking along the way. Maybe I can learn an itty bitty bit. 

Everything out here has been going pretty well though. Just last week it rained from Monday night all the way through Tuesday to Wednesday morning was when it cleared up. So we got to bike around in the rain and get extremely soaked and pretty much talk with no one the entire time (because everything is safe and cozy in their homes) so that was pretty fun. On top of everything though its been a crazy week with bike problems and weather and just navigation in general in this area it gets pretty interesting out here. We are trying our best out here and committed ourselves to try harder to meet our goals and help others progress in the gospel. We had a couple lessons and discussions about the Book of Mormon with some of our investigators this week and actually find another person, Rafael, who we are going to try and teach the entire family too. Its pretty awesome!

I failed at taking pictures again last week with everything going on but I'll TRY to make a conscious effort to take pictures and other things for you. Otherwise I love you lots and hope everything goes well for everyone back home!!

Hi Momma!

Yeah I am in a new area, and in a new apartment which is a lot nicer than the older one I stayed in, just has a lot more room (I forgot to take pictures which I promise to do that). It's just me and Elder de La Torre in this apartment. From what I can tell you Elder de La Torre is from Las Vegas, Nevada which is super close to our mission and it turns out he is actually a "trial missionary" and he might be staying in this mission or be called to somewhere else. His mom is a member and his father is currently investigating in the church so it's pretty cool. He loves music and played in a mariachi band for a little while and did orchestra so he is pretty awesome, and he speaks fluent spanish which helps when we run into a lot of spanish speaking people here in Ontario.  Yeah it is kind of crazy how fast time has flown by honestly, I feel like I've been here for awhile even though I haven't and even though the end is far away it seems to be coming up kind of qu...

Thanksgiving Week!

Hey Mom and Dad! This last week went by pretty slow for me (I think because it was week six of transfers so it felt weird). That's funny that all the kiddos want to sleep in, no more its time to get up and get work boys and girls! You guys already set up the Christmas tree? Nice! Sounds like you guys will be having a blast with the cousins up in Pinetop, make sure to send me some pictures! That's pretty funny that you got called to be the Sunday School President, I'm sure on of those kids is gonna need your help and love while you are fulfilling your calling. Teaching is going pretty interestingly, its the holidays so not many people are home or are with family outside the area but some more people are home so its odd but fun! I'll be spending Thanksgiving with a lesser active family called the Whites and they invited us for dinner so I'm happy for that! The Ward is absolutely amazing, the people are so nice to the missionaries and we practically have a dinner every...

Did You Think to Pray? I actually took pictures this week. And for some odd reason this computer is denying me the right to access those photos... Hold back the pitchforks for now, I'll fix the problem sometime soon. But besides from that one. The title comes from a praying mantis I saw while knocking on doors. I went to go ring a doorbell and there is this giant praying mantis guarding the bell. I ended up not wanting to fight the thing and knocked on the door. Something our mission does every transfer (which is a six week period of time kept by missionaries), we have this thing called a zone conference. And all the missionaries here in the desert got together. Which is always a fun experience being out for little over 13 months now seeing people I've grown to meet and love during my time here and catching up with them. But the whole reason we got together was to learn and grow in our service out here. And something that stuck out to me was learning to set goals, but mo...
