How's it going? Long time no see, quite literally, but how's it been back in Arizona? I got your package with the fortune cookies, chopsticks, socks, chocolates, that super awesome looking tie, and other letters and goodies. Thank you so much for those! I have been slacking when it came to writing paper letters so I'll try and get back into the groove of things. Everything in the mission field has been an adventure, as usual, and somehow I've been in the mission field for already 2 months, like where the heack did time go like COME BACK. Seriously though the work here has been hard but I never expected it to be easy and so far as much as I work there are blessings around every corner, even if its not on that day. Putting the best foot forward and continuing forward in faith is action in itself and just keeping forward helps out a lot. Also being able to have the thought that maybe I planted a seed in the hearts of others is enough to keep me going. The mission work ...

How's it going family?! That's awesome that Bryson got his Driver's Permit and it will be scary at frist but he'll get the hang of it. Just takes practice and little by little he'll be cruising "safely" down the streets. Looks like you guys had fun that Fall Break and having cousins over! Bummer that Grant lost by a couple of points but there's always something we can learn from defeat, even in the mission field here. I would like to thank you guys for sending me that shirt, it looks a tad too big but I haven't tried it on YET, but it looks SOOO GOOD. Also thank you for sending me that Acne stuff it will help cleaning up my face. Good luck with those conferences coming up dadio! Hopefully you got that Email from one of the members, Brother Zavala, took us out to dinner at FarmerBoys and it was super good (sent to Mom's email I believe). Turns out I was scheduled to give a talk this Sunday in the ward I am serving in so that'll be fun. I...

Hello Mom and Dad! How have you all been? Looks like you all had fun in California and up in Pinetop! I'm glad you all had fun and I hope and pray for you all always! I mailed the iPod and the cord thing together... I guess someone just stole the iPod when I had tried to send it back home. That's pretty unfortunate and I hope that person realizes the guilt and shame in stealing. But thank goodness for repentance right? You got me a T-shirt?! I can only imagine what it might be. I should be fine with the jacket you sent me so it'll be great (hopefully). I'll let you know through email if I need another one or something else.  I have no idea about Jacob's farewell but when I find out I'll make sure to let you know! I've heard from Rebekah every now and then, she is having a blast up in Provo BYU! I have had the opportunity to play "chair soccer" which is pretty much hitting chairs as the goals with a soccer ball, it was pretty fun...

Yesterday was Columbus Day or something so the library was closed, oh well. Everything has been going pretty well, still learning in the mission field and I swear everyday I read the scriptures I learn something new, like every dang time. I've read the Book of Mormon more than once but reading it in the mission field, I seem to pick up some pretty key things that are like *BOOM* new concept that gets you hooked and thinking. I did try on the jacket and it its a bit baggy and big. But when it does get colder I'll try it on and see how it goes when I'm proselyting in it. To be honest, no tears were shed when Elder Ruiz left and it was just a hug and good luck and be safe on the flight back home. It didn't feel too hard but I know he'll do great back home. And yup I'm staying in Victorville still, the work continues! My new companion is Elder Olson, super great guy and funny to talk with, we literally had the best conversations already and I just met him ye...

Hello Mom and Dad!! I'm glad to hear you both got callings, and how ironic is that you both got callings IN scouts, talk about working together. It'll be a lot of fun and something to always remember about our callings is there is always a reason. We may not see it at first but when we look through our "spiritual glasses" we can see what we can do for others! That's pretty funny how Grant now uses "BOB" in Basketball, but that really does help out a lot. Bryson can be a funny one and I think we may have to revise those morning chores we have. Awesome to hear that you were able to have Family Home Evening and I know as you keep coming together as a family and building that foundation of love and the gospel it can bring us closer together. I know it will. I'm actually really curious, where on earth did Mom get a picture of me eating ice cream? I didn't give anyone that I know your guy's phone numbers or anything. So please enlighten me ...
