I remember you telling me about what happened about great grandma Stapley, but now I know that she has passed away it brings some more peace and comfort. Seeing great grandpa Stapley pass away was hard and I know they're both together now. As for Hesperia, I've only been here for a week and I'm loving it a lot here. Our area is MUCH bigger than all the areas I've been in and its because its developed neighborhoods but also houses spread out over the desert. It should give me more opportunities for pictures so I'll jump on it. This area is reminding me a TON about my first area and I think I'm going to love it more. As for Elder McLaughlin, we are doing really well. We are both working hard and having laughs as we go. He's from Texas and he went to BYU Idaho before he left and its been fun so far! As for the special box, I couldn't find a companionship going down so I'm just going to ship a couple things home as presents and maybe donate some other things, I'm figuring it out as I go along. So sorry! 

 Thats fun to hear about Grant, I can't believe he'll be out of Primary by the time I'm back. And thats good to hear about Bryson, I'm going to have to ask him how fun that new game is. As for Savannah, good gracious she is one super busy lady. I also can't believe its almost Christmas as well, everytime we are out walking I always see one of those Christmas countdown decorations with the time left on it and its getting closer and closer. 

 Things have been going really well over here though. We're meeting with a couple people and helping them as they desire to learn and have a closer relationship with God and Jesus Christ. It rained a ton for about two days and it we were drenched for about the entirety of the day. The area is about half neighborhoods and the rest of it is just spread out houses over a ton of dirt roads and hills. Besides from that though its a ton of fun. 

 I'll try and respond throughout the day with what happens. I've been very bad at writing in my journal and hopefully I'll improve it so these emails have more depth of what is going on. Sorry for the lack of content! LOVE YOU MOMMA!!

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...
