No I don't need gloves. No I don't need scarves. No I don't need sweaters. No I don't need a warmer coat. And No I don't need money on my account I'll live but thank you! I don't really need anything if anything I have things that I DON'T NEED and might consider buying a box and shipping it home to make room for things I "collect" around the mission. Thank you though! Just wait for the birthday mark for me I guess, got some good amount of time before that comes up so don't worry!

The week went pretty good, definitely better than last week. Elder Pederson is feeling homesick for his family back home and other things he is working through. But otherwise when we get to work and stay obedient we do pretty alright. We are working through some things and working together the best we can so we CAN work together in unity because heaven knows I need companion unity so the Spirit can testify what we teach. He is kind to me and we actually get along pretty well, but nothing is perfect in life we know that.

We found a new investigator named Abram Yates who is Catholic and originally only wanted to hear what we had to talk about God and said "You can't convert me..." but by utilizing the HowToBeginTeaching points we redirected his thoughts and words to our purpose and the lesson went really well but there is still much room for improvement. And another investigator this week was Armondo who was a referral, for when we knocked on his door he told us he had just got home 5 minutes ago and could give us time to talk and share our message with him. We've had a lot of really cool moments where God's timetable is a lot better than the daily planning schedule we can come up with. Our contacting was also a lot better than last weeks so we'll continue to improve with every step into every day. Me and Elder Pedersen also got to have quite a couple awesome lessons with our investigators this week, we even recommitted on of our investigators to follow Moroni's promise and with "real intent" reading the Book of Mormon so this week has been pretty great.   

That's unfortunate about the championship game, it sounded pretty close. That is unfair though in all honesty, but even when we lose we learn something to improve and do better so that's a positive outlook on things! Man I miss YC's, that is some good food right there. No I haven't found any good ones yet but then again I haven't really tried looking so that's my bad I suppose. I don't get time to really look for these things anyways being cooped up in one area and then on bike, plus money budgeting so maybe for when I get back.

Its been fun but I gotta run now! I pray for you all always and hope for everyone! Gotta send a lot of emails out so tell the kiddos I said Hi! Thanks MOM!!

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...

Question Time: 1. My week was definitely interesting, I'll tell you about it in a bit later on in this email. 2. I have no idea yet, I'll be in the office tomorrow so I'll look for it and see if it came in the mail. We don't open those suckers until later and its going to be quite a hassle trying to figure these things out before we roll out ALL the smartphones to all the missionaries but I am looking forward to it and seeing the success that can be found. And yes I will be becoming a Facebook missionary, whoopdy doo for you! 3. Ideas for him? Well I was thinking of trying to get him something but I keep running out of time and forgetting but don't tell him that. I LOVE HIM, just shipping is really expensive... But maybe something that I thought of is giving him a book series called Mystborn or another series by Brandon Sanderson, I heard his books are really awesome and I'll probably read them when I get back. I honestly don't know, you know better th...

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...
