Hello Mom and Dad!

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 was thinking of writing a talk about Love and Forgiveness but I'm still kind of dwelling on it. I know during this recent General Conference we had a couple talks that included Love and Forgiveness with also some other quotes that I could possibly use. I'll email you guys some of the finished talk maybe next week if everything goes according to plan but otherwise I think it'll go pretty well, I want to leave a lasting impression on those that need to hear this message.

Little update in the mission field, I've been with my companion Elder Olson and we both love some of the same games and movies. Like we just have conversations about the most whack things and its so much fun while trying to talk to people about Jesus Christ and the Gospel. Except practically everyone we try to talk with turns us down and when we say "How's your day going?" they reply with "No thanks." and shut the door on us. Such a weird way of saying how your day is going right? People are weird. But to be honest when we get to talk with people we have conversations about almost anything with Members and Nonmembers here in Victorville. But something I realized that helps so much is when we have the chance to Pray and Read the Book of Mormon everyday it REALLY HELPS SO MUCH. There are blessings from our Heavenly Father and it can bring peace and other things we ask for into our lives. The power behind these things is so powerful and simple, almost too simple but its big acts of faith.

Work here in the mission field has been making more and more sense as I think deeper and deeper. The only unfortunate thing is I haven't had many opportunities to teach and its kind of hindering my ability to teach clearly and simply to everyone I get the chance to. And when I knock on doors sometimes I'm still awkward but I'm still trying to improve. But I know when I put my best forward the Lord can do the rest and I can still learn and improve otherwise me and Elder Olson have mostly been trying to find Investigators and visit/teach people that are less active to help them feel welcome and know the importance of coming to church.

I pray and hope everything goes well for everyone!!

- Yeah Elder Olson will be speaking as well except he won't tell me what its about soooo oh whale.

On Halloween we have to be back in our apartment by 6:00pm so that's pretty unfortunate but otherwise just regular work in the mission field until that time then we can do whatever. Thank goodness me and Elder Olson have music otherwise we might go insane in that amount of time we have. We'll come up with something fun. The Ward I'm in does this Chili Cookoff and TrunkOrTreat actually this Friday which we'll be inviting people to and having dinner at.

I'll have to see if I can get Brother Zavala when I meet with him again to send it to me or something.

- Elder Olson has some nice soundtracks from movies and other stuff so yeah. Unfortunately I again did not take any pictures, I am a terrible human being. But I'll make sure to take some at the Ward Halloween Party with Elder Olson. Thats funny me and Elder Olson shopped at a Winco Food today as well with the Zone Leaders. Winco is the goto for missionaries.

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...
