Well, Elder Keller and I will be getting a new missionary in our already too small apartment. He is a visa waiter going to mexico. He will be a good missionary. I am excited because all of the hispanic males are working during the day and we cannot teach the Females without a third man. Well we now have a third person. O ya we are going to baptize alot more. So that is going to be sweet but it will not be sweet because our apartment is litterally Small. Yes it is going to be an adventure.

           So this week was very eventfull. We found 11 new investigators. We also taught 13 lessons this week. I was very excited. So everything is suppost to be bigger in texas. Well i am proud to say that idahoans know how to cook thanksgiving dinner bigger. :) Thanksgiving was great. We ate with the Formans house. They are americans so we had the traditional everything execpt, MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY...... ya what the heck no potatoes and gravy. o well. we also ate with the Torres family and had pork tamales and sweet coconut tamales. O they are gold in Corn husk. I loved them.

           So on friday, We found this man who was leaving to fort worth and we taught him a lesson and he came to church and know is a progressing investigator. His name is Julio Salazar. He is 75 years old. he is from El Salvador and he has lived in america for 45 years. he is a really cool guy who has being prepared by the lord.

          Yup so that is about all we have done this week. I would list all of the people we met but yall dont really know any of them. But yup that was our week. Thanks everyone in advance for the million presents i am going to get for my birthday because i know that my family loves me so much. (that was a hint to send me something, but yall dont have to because its the thought that counts)

Elder Dillon Glen Allen

 So haha the pictures. i would be a good mexican. those are my yellow boots. the last picture is my companion now

Well i am going to be honest. i have no idea what happened last week due to me being in the middle of this week. We couldnt email on monday due to the veterans day and tuesday because of the conference we had with elder bowen of the seventy. i will write about the conference on monday.

So How is everyone doing? Any plans for thanksgiving? What about Christmas. I have not recieved any addresses in the mail of anyone. I want them. i want to write all of my family and tell them of my appriciation. I am so glad to be serving a mission. I am glad that i have this opportunity to be a missionary. I am practically overwhelmed with the spirit always and i dont know why 9 months feels like a dream. Well i am so glad that everyone is supporting me. i really feel the power of yalls love and prayers.

 

So sorry this ends up being a short letter, i am trying to remember something i can write about and it is not happening. So i am going to write about what i have leaned recently.

 

So everyone who has ever known me they know that i am pridefull. :) i dont think i am now. Here is how i avoid it. So i get angry pretty fast when people correct me and try to tell me they have a better way. when i get these such feelings i simply get out my pen and write down something good about the person or the situation. this has helped alot. the oposite of pride is humility. the fastest way to be humble i think and i have come to know is by the principle of Gratitude. just count your blessings everyone,,,,,, it works.

 

Well thats about all folks. have a good week and i will email you in about 4 days. :)

  Alright so the miracle of the week is Evelyn. We have been teaching her for a while now but she just has all of the perfect questions. If she would come to church she would have them all answered. Well i know that she recieved an answer that the Book of Mormon is true, all she needs to do now is to act of what she knows is true. She is all ready to be baptized. If we can catch her 3 times this week we will have a baptism date for her. I am so excited to see her progress. She is doing well.

           So This week was kinda good. Last monday We taught our current baptism dates, Tony Gloria and Jessica Garcia. They are great people who are ready to be baptized. I know that they are ready and that they do want this change in their lives. Their parents are members and they have come a long way. About 12 weeks ago they were going to get devorced and the missionaries knocked into them and started teaching them the missionary lessons to see if it would bring them back together. that is what we are still doing. we are not giving advice we are simply teaching the lessons so they can keep the commitments. they are praying as a family. ( all 9 of them) They all read together often. they are a blessed family to be able to stay together. Tuesday we taught The glorias again. We also taugh 2 other lessons. The weather on tuesday was wierd. it was freezing cold in the middle of the day and towards the night it was like 90 degrees. ya really wierd. Wednesday for halloween we were not aloud to go trick or treating haha so we had a district meeting instead with cinimon rolls and tootsie rolls. Yup it was pretty fun. Thursday we made armor out of cardboard for a lesson on the armor of god. i will send a picture next week of the sweet armor we made. Friday we found a new investigator names manuel. he is super ready to be baptized. we are going to set a baptizm date with him next lesson. Saturday we taught about 5 lessons and it was probably the most spiritual day i have had on my mission due to the constant teaching we had. when we are in a 45 minute lesson it seems like it is only 5 minutes. it is because of the spirit that we feed. Saturday felt like an hour long. Yestarday was the day i found out who i am and what i am suppost to do as a missionary. People who have gone on a mission know what i mean.

           So i am glad to be in weatherford. my spanish is going through the roof and my testimony is growing. i am lucky to be where i am. I am happy to be a missionary and to be able to help others change their lives. I know that i am supposed to be on a mission. If anyone is still having doubts if they should go on a mission then stop having them and go. a mission will bless your live and the lives of other exceedingly.

          Elder Keller is a really good missionary. His Spanish is Excelent. i am pretty sure he speaks more gramaticly correct that the natives around here. We are being 100% obedient and nothing is holding us back from reaching our potential. we are haveing so much exito here in weatherford. We have 2 baptism dates and 2 progressing investigators.

          So i do not have alot of crazy stories. Do not be supprised by anything that happens in the future is all i have to say.
