Alright, in advance, I do not have a lot of time to email. So it's going to be REALLY rushed. I am currently emailing in a laundromat up in the desert of Apple Valley. Nope, I did not get transferred up to Barstow, but I am now in a more open part of the desert called Apple Valley, sadly there are no apples as far as I am concerned. My new companion is Elder Harris, from Detroit Michigan. I had the opportunity to pick him up from the airport his first day and now six months later we are now companions! So that's going to be pretty fun. 

Chase's father was supportive of him talking to us and everything. If anything his father encouraged him to come out the mutual when we invited him to come. The father wasn't interested in learning anything at all, but he would always get Chase for us whenever we came by. Chase has been progressing pretty well too. It'll be up to the next missionaries to help him out and the area we covered. 

Man holy cow I am really rushed for time. I will definitely do MUCH better next week in terms of actually telling you what's going on out here. I will ALSO make sure to take lots of pictures to make it up to you while I am out here. New Area, new beginnings, it'll be a ton of fun out here. Again so sorry that this is so short. I AM STILL ALIVE. So do not panic, I'll let you know everything that happens this upcoming week, it's going to be goooooood! LOVE YOU MOMMA!! Tell Dad and the kiddos I love em!!

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...

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...

Did You Think to Pray? I actually took pictures this week. And for some odd reason this computer is denying me the right to access those photos... Hold back the pitchforks for now, I'll fix the problem sometime soon. But besides from that one. The title comes from a praying mantis I saw while knocking on doors. I went to go ring a doorbell and there is this giant praying mantis guarding the bell. I ended up not wanting to fight the thing and knocked on the door. Something our mission does every transfer (which is a six week period of time kept by missionaries), we have this thing called a zone conference. And all the missionaries here in the desert got together. Which is always a fun experience being out for little over 13 months now seeing people I've grown to meet and love during my time here and catching up with them. But the whole reason we got together was to learn and grow in our service out here. And something that stuck out to me was learning to set goals, but mo...
