To answer your question. The only lesson we taught all this week was the person we have on date, her name is Elida. She's been doing absolutely stellar, she's super excited for her baptism and it's her birthday on that day as well. She's invited her family and friends and she's been reading her scriptures and praying more and more. Her and her husband are so funny, they are both pretty young and just fun to talk to. Funny thing was we had Stake Conference yesterday at 10:00 and we got a text from her asking why nobody was at the church building at 1:00. I just looked at it and smacked my head, I thought they knew about stake conference and it all got goofed up. Her baptismal interview is this Wednesday and after hers I'll be giving another one for somebody in my district they are teaching.

Man, Dad's work is just getting crazy by the sound of it. Sounds like a ton of fun though, I'll be rooting for him over here. Funny that Savannah's dance keeps getting in the way, that girl is nuts. Bryson probably picked up those things because of me. I know I was a trouble maker of worts back home, then again you would know, Mom's know everything.

Not going to lie Mom. It is getting REALLY ought out here, just trying to be faithful in the work. California is an interesting place, everyone thinks we are soliciting even though we aren't selling anything, everyone opens and slams the door because I can say "Hi", people deliberately attack our faith acting super snobby like they know everything (though those are fun because I can put them in their place with pure scriptural knowledge, plus the Spirit testifies to them and they deny it, so that's fun). Currently at a struggle right now, I've honestly thought a lot about going home because nothing is really being done out here, I just feel like I'm wasting time trying to help these people in California.  To think about it the only thing keeping me out here is the fact Elida is so great, and that so many people are looking up to me from back home that I don't want to disappoint them, and DEFINITELY NOT disappoint the Lord. I'm just getting sick of it out here, I'm trying to do my best but nothing is coming from it.

I don't want you or Dad to worry about me right now. You guys have a lot on your plate and Bryson needs everything he can get. I'll do my best from over, but goodnight when I do get back I am going to drop kick that kid. His emails just want me to fly over there, smack him a couple times, and fly back and I could still work out here because it's a stinking 1 hour flight away from home. If you haven't noticed already, I am very sarcastic when it comes to me expressing my negative feelings out here. I'm being serious, but I'm trying to make the most fun out of it.

Give everyone a hug for me, and don't give up out there. I LOVE YOU MOMMA! Have fun over there with the rain. If you respond back I'll try and do the same.

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...
