No questions this time, you made my life so much easier thanks Mom! And if you read this email and start to beat yourself about not sending an email yesterday or today don't worry about it. I still love you just like the wonderful example you are! The best thing is going to be shared at the end anyways. Leaves more room to tell some stories in the email now!

I guess I'll start with sharing a funny story that actually just happened yesterday. An hour right before church was going to start me and my companion were going about trying to talk to people and invite them to come to church. We started talking to this one dude washing his car with his child and while we were just talking with him I felt a really hard "splat" hit me on the head and see something on my glasses. And my immediate thought was "You have got to be kidding me right now. No way..." And as soon as we started walking away I asked my companion "I just got crapped on didn't I?" and he looked over and his eyes got wide and just burst out in laughter. A bird pooped on me, but it was a really bad poop, like diarrhea poop bad. I now hate birds. (Dad will get a really good kick out of this one). 

Recently last Wednesday we met with one of our investigator families here and when we went over they had a TON of questions to ask us and it was pretty awesome. They both are "Catholic" but non practicing and its the closest religious background they have. But they had a ton of questions that they couldn't answer and it felt pretty awesome being able to answer most of their questions and we didn't argue or dispute in anyway. Its like how it should be, it shouldn't be an argument and tornado of opinions of who knows more, its just the knowledge that God has given us and with the Book of Mormon and they church that Jesus Christ heads we can answer those questions that everyone has. And we actually have a lesson scheduled with them tonight with a member coming with us so I'm looking forward to that.

I got a haircut today. Wasn't able to take a picture of it though sadly so I'll make sure to do that for you next week. I know I am terrible with emailing pictures but hopefully this additional tool called a "smartphone" might kind of solve the problem for ya. Anyways though thanks for that email about the whole card get swiped thing and I'm extremely careful when using money. No worries mom, I got this under control. Kind of.

Love you Mom! Give Bryson a birthday hug for me because I know he loves hugs (Sarcasm maybe?). I love him, let him know that. Talk to ya next week Momma!!

Next e-mail, same day:
I just read the email you sent. It didn't come through at all so I'm sorry to hear about that. Hopefully those shots work out for you, I am pretty sure it hurt like heck, just thinking about needles being stuck in you just sends shivers for me. I don't have a lot of time left but I was able to read all of it. Sounded like quite the week for ya! Lemme know how all the projects and selling go. And yes my companion does know I was born in Texas but I'm not a "true" Texan I guess. I don't know, can't really say I am but I gotta a little bit of it in me. I'll keep Grandpa Loveland in my prayers for sure, but the best thing is if he does pass away we know Heaven'y Father will be waiting for him. But besides from that I gotta get going. Love ya Mom and I skimmed through the email so I'll try and read it next week. LOVE YAAAA!

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...
