Alright question time!
1. Any fun things for P-Day? Just the same ol' same ol'. We got haircuts today and oh my goodness the picture will describe how terribly that went. I asked for the lady cutting my hair to leave an inch off the top and in the process that is what happened and with my glasses off all I heard from her was "Oh no...". So not super fun, hoping I don't get made fun of too much but it's pretty bad... Rest in peace my dignity and pride.
2. Yup I got the year mark package and I was laughing really hard when I saw that shirt. I also appreciated a ton of the puns on there. Extremely well done, I was very impressed.
3. I think I started attending in my Junior year but I didn't keep consistently going until my Senior year. I think I popped in every now and then but near the Senior year is when I actually really started going.
4. How did you hear about that? Our ward mates baptized a Chinese couple named Nicolas and Feel! I remember always helping them in English class and trying to talk to them when they came to church and it was amazing seeing their progression! Elder Bryner and I had the opportunity to participate in the Confirmation on Sunday.
5. Yes my release date is August 12th, don't get too excited. Still got an entire year to get rolling after the first one! 

Sounds like a ton of people are leaving for their missions and going on them. Kind of crazy how fast time can fly and how soon people leave and come home. I bet its just always people leaving and coming back that are talking up there now.I personally right now cannot remember who that is. There is something called the mission veil and it makes you forget everything you knew from back home. Its pretty real and makes it super unfortunate for me when people ask where specifically I am from and really certain details. Its ok though, I'm able to manage enough questions.

Recently Anthony has been "busy" a lot so we are going to give him a little break so we can continue meeting with him. We were doing pretty well with practically 4 appointments held in a row and then just one after another they start falling through and its been over a week now. So we'll go back next week and see what happens. 

Besides from that though Chase has been doing super well. The young men are doing almost everything in their power to include Chase without even asking us. Its pretty crazy but its amazing how loving they are to reach out to those around him. We are hoping to meet with Chase again tomorrow and we'll be bringing a young man along! We are hoping to get him on a baptismal date either tomorrow or this Friday so we'll see how that goes!

We recently picked up someone new though! His name is Carlos, and he has a 18 year old son in the navy and a 16 year old daughter that goes to school. He's a mechanic and loves to learn new information, and something that I've never been asked for is not why there are so many religions. But why isn't everyone unified when it comes to religion? Since most religions teach about good morals and beliefs in God but most people fight or quarrel over these things. And we got to answer practically most of his questions and tell him the church Jesus Christ's set up is back on the earth and there is proof of that. It opened up super well and we invited him to read and pray from the Book of Mormon and we'll be seeing him this Thursday!

Otherwise we had plenty of work in the office and in the area that got done and it'll get a little busier with zone conferences happening this week but we'll make it happen! Otherwise Momma I always LOVE HEARING BACK FROM YA!! Keep cool out there, and keep having fun with the kiddos! 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...
