Questions Being Answered:
- This week went pretty swell thanks for asking!
- Yeah we got a couple days of rain, I just wore my big jacket and didn't care about everything else. So it was pretty fun, thanks for the rain checkup!
- No I do not have a poncho but that's OK!
- We have had a couple missionaries leave early due to illnesses and other problems but it happens to everyone. I don't know about the number of missionaries but I know it happens. I'll be knowing more about things soon though (I'll let you know why in a bit).
- Nope I did not get pinched thankfully. That was because Elder Pedersen was sick for an entire two days and he absolutely hated not being able to work. So we all got stuck in the apartment unfortunately but that means we get to work extra hard!
- Not yet, I'll stop by an Wells Fargo ATM some time, no worries. You don't have to email President Taylor, its gonna be alright. I haven't been using my Wells Fargo account card but I'll let you know when I get the chance to look at it.

SO TO START OFF. I do not have a lot of time to email thanks to some complications this Preparation Day and other things that happened so I apologize in advance for the shortness. So fun story... Yesterday I got called by President Taylor that I will be serving as an Office Elder starting tomorrow. He wants me to come in early and get trained by the Office Elders now so I will be able to focus my attention to the needs of the mission and I'll have to treasure time that I get to proselyte even more than ever. So I have to get packing even earlier... I also found out that while I am an Office Elder I'll be able to help initiate our mission becoming a smart phone technology mission, which means we might become Facebook Missionaries so I'll be helping out with that. Its pretty crazy but I am looking forward to it. 

Sounds like you guys were able to have a really fun time and I am so glad that our family is so connected. While on the mission I have grown to love everything I was given and with the knowledge that has blessed our lives. The family unit is so powerful and important which means we HAVE to keep it all together and we will see the blessings that comes from being a connected family. I wish I could talk more about these things but time is super short so hopefully I have more time next Monday. Except next Monday is Transfer Days so I'll be helping people out with that since I'll be an Office Elder... Its going to be so much fun and work. I'll look forward to telling you more about it (all this was said with a smile on my face, love you!!!!)

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...
