The first week with Elder Johnson went really well! We've served around each other in Ontario and in Apple Valley so being companions makes it a little more fun. He's from North Carolina and he'll hit his year mark this week. Mary's baptism went really good actually! She was nervous at the beginning and she looked so much better. Her son who was baptized 2 years ago bore his testimony during the baptism service and it went really well. She already feels like she has been a part of the ward and now that she has been baptized and confirmed she feels even closer. Darla has been sick ever since she came to church so hopefully we can meet again with her soon. Yeah I got an email from Bryson so hallelujah!

Throughout the week it got pretty stormy over here in Hesperia. We've been getting good amounts of rain and its been getting pretty chilly along with it. I think our little weather app told us at one point it felt like 34 degrees outside. When you got a drizzle of rain, wind, and some winter cold, you better believe it'll make you cold. It was cool though because we found some small acts of service even when it was raining. We met this Chinese man named Ramen? (I must have heard wrong) but he recently moved in and knew little English so we helped him with some boxes before it started raining a little harder. He was super grateful and fun to talk to. 

That was fun to hear you had the chance to go to the temple and go with Dad. We only get to go every now and then, but since Mary got baptized she can get a limited use recommend and we can go with her if we get permission from the Assistants (since the Redlands temple is currently outside the mission). If that happens I'm for sure getting some photos of that as well. Besides from everything that happened this week out here, it was quite the blur. We've been going out knocking doors more on the pure dirt roads and turns out, lots of old people out there. Then you knock the more developed neighborhoods and its families and a more diverse variety. Kind of interesting.

Sorry that the email is a bit shorter than most. Some things came up and I'm trying to do better about "wasting" time on Facebook. Thankfully its usually just on Mondays but it does kind of take me home for a bit so I need to make sure I stay obedient to everything. Trying, thats what matters most. Elder Johnson has been helping me exercise better so it'll be fun!

LOVE YOU MOMMA!! KEEP BEING AMAZING!!

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...
