Question Answering Time:
1. How was my week? Its been quite the roller coaster. Lots of phone nonsense to deal with and prepare for and we are going to be starting a new transfer this upcoming week so me and Elder Clawson have to do a lot of preparations for that so WOOH.

2. The phone set up? Its really annoying honestly. Have to charge the phones, boot em up, download a program and make names and passwords for all of them. Definitely something I never thought I would do in the mission but hay its the experience of everything!

3. Yeah I heard about the teacher strike from Bryson. I honestly saw it coming eventually. School teachers have a lot to deal with nowadays. You have to prepare lessons, teach a class, grade everything and keep everything and everyone up to date. And you also have to deal with a bunch of children. They honestly don't pay them enough but I guess we'll see how it goes.

Sounds like y'all are going to have a lot of fun over there in the Bahamas. And holy cow sounds like you guys are going to have quite the adventure. Honestly when I get back I'm just going to want to relax for a little bit. Catch up with family and friends, get back on my feet, probably work and get ready for schooling but I guess we'll see as time goes. Remember to take pictures for me while you are over there (ironic I know don't start screaming yet). Recently me and Elder Clawson were able to find more people to teach! We are starting to teach this man originally from Burma and he is Buddhist. It was really strange trying to teach someone who had ZERO knowledge about God so we are going to have to teach little by little and hopefully it'll work out! And we also met a Filipino family of 5, a mom, dad, with 2 girls and a boy around the ages of 10-17 so that'll be fun. Our first lesson with them was super awesome. 

Also the reason why I am emailing on a Tuesday was because today we went to the temple! Its been a little while since I was in it, our mission gets to go on a 6 month period, and when you depart from the mission so it felt SO GOOD to go back. Just to feel the peace and comfort that came from being in the walls and in the Celestial room was amazing. I'm going to try and make a conscious effort when I get back to attend more often. But on top of that I am pretty low on time because the temple took 35 minutes there and 35 minutes back and the temple session so I'll email you next week for sure!! The next time I email will probably on a Wednesday because of transfers next week but I'm sure you'll be fine. Say hi to everyone for me and have fun!! LOVE YOU MOM!!

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...

Hello Mom and Dad!

Thanksgiving was really awesome, we had dinner with a family where they have 5 boys and we got to spend our one dinner with them for that night. Got to eat deviled eggs, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, crackers and cheese with ham, chili, some barbecue hotdogs, and lots of other food which was amazing! Everything else over here is going very well though! Although Elder Olson got sick for a day and we had to drive to an Urgent Care outside our zone so that was fun. Elder Olson is pretty much the same height as me and everything, why do you ask? I don't think its cold enough to get any extra layers of clothes or anything but thanks! That's awesome that everyone of the kids is doing well and doing the things they love! Funny how as soon as I leave you start having missionaries over for dinner, maybe we'll have to invite some more when I get back from my mission or something. Um I don't know anything about plans for Christmas yet but I'll email you when I find out the det...
