Dear Family and Friends,

 

   First Picture: This is a chinchilla. I have never seen of of these. it was hissing at me alot when i was around him. I dont know why but he was.

   Second Picture: This is me in a tree. haha i scared the missionaries we were with. I swung down and scared all of them half to death.

   Third Picture: This is my companion. He fell asleep. I  got bored of him being asleep so i put an expo marker to work. Haha he woke up and it was a good laugh. he thought it was funny. Nothing has happened to me yet since i have been to sleep.  it was alot of fun.

arlington is full of hispanics. my companion and i set a goal to contact 40 people a day. Yestarday we contacted 66. It was a good day. there are alot of apartments here which it makes it easy to find people. I really like this area. I will see yall in 3 months and about 15 days. not that i am counting.

Hey Everyone.

   Sorry I have not written for a while! I randomly got a call the night before transfers telling me i was getting transfered. I only had 4 hours to pack everything I own and got transfered more north. The work has been amazing. I left A baptism in waco. pretty sad but she still got baptized and she has goals to be sealed in a year.

 

My new companion is Elder Melville. He is from Utah, again. and he is such a good missionary. He is a hard worker and loves to teach people the gospel. He knows the doctrine and has an undiing desire to share it with everyone. He has been out for as much time as i have left. haha. he loves the mission and we get along great!

 

So we have been trying to find new investigatores. We found one man named miguel Rios. He has been pronounced dead 4 times and doesnt know why god has kept him alive this long. We testified that it is because he needs to be baptized and he agrees and wants to be baptized. We are working with him. Throughout his accedents, he now has alot of brain damage. but he still can talk and feel the spirit. We are very excited for him to be able to take this step and be baptized.

 

I love this work and i am vey sad because its drawing to an end. But that is ok because life goes on. I will just keep trucking along doing my hardest to become who the lord wants me to be.

 

Love yall.

The First Picture is of my music bear and I. This bear (DJ teddy) and i have been all over Texas together. We do not have any relationship together except that of music. O heavens i am treating this bear like tom hanks did Wilson in cast away!

The Second Picture is of my hat and I. Also my hat and I are really good buddies. We are going to do alot of things together when i get home in 5 months from today. We are going to dig holes together, probably ride horses together and go hunting and fishing together. That will be fun. Isn't that neat.

The Third Picture is of The Mean Muggin Alligator. I do not know who the weird kid is behind the mask. But he apparently is wearing an alligator hat. Who the heck does that. O that's me.

They will be baptized November 2nd. I am very excited for all of them. They all have been doing so well. Esteban randomly suprised us yestarday with some mole!!!! o ya mole is so good. It is a kind of meat smothered in spicy peanut-butter-chocolate and chille. MMMMM the best. Esteban is a really good guy.

Picture #1: Your missing a very important person in this picture. Dont worry I got yalls back. Dad your foot looks good.

Picture #2: Well this is a bit of art that my companion and i came up with. We have the force. and i aparently am diing in this picture.

Picture #3 This is my cowboy getup. I finally sealed my outfit with the hat. I did not pay a dime for all of my cowboy stuff.

 

This week was really good. Waco is a very nice area to work in. So what i mean is it is a little dirty and not alot of morals. perfect enviroment for missionaries to be in. We are going to do very good here. I am very excited for the future. Sorry i dont have much time to write a bigger email. But i love yall and dont have too much fun without me!

Hello Family and Friends!!!!

Waco is Weird. It is just like Weatherford. So I have come to a conclusion that I get sent out to the country for the winter and the city for the summer. Here are some pictures.

 

This is probably my favorite companionship. The guy in the middle is our zone leader. He was our companion for a week because his companion got sent home. Haha i am just kidding his companion is the new asistant to the president. The green house in the backround is where i lived for 4 1/2 months of my short life.

This is Gismo. We found him about 4 months ago. We were just being regular old teenagers and messing around. We found a hill and tried throwing rocks up it. Ya we are children. He was at the top of the hill. We talked to him. He quit everything he was doing that was violating the word of wisdom and the law of chastity in one day. He started reading the Book of Mormon and now has a testimony of the truthfulllnes of this gospel. He will be baptized in the near future. He is a man that has impacted my life greatly. He is definitely my best friend here in texas.

And coming in as the best family in the world.... The Cantu Family. This family is the best. David on the left is straight up a thug. He is sweet. Good guy. He knows alot about life and just how to make everyone happy around him.  The kid looks like he is cute but he will get you if your not looking. Haha i love baby David. Bridgette is Olgas daughter and Olga is on the right. This family is the best family i have ever taught here in texas. Olga and bridgette are members and David is not. Not yet.. BFITW- Best family in the world.

Well that is about all i have got to say. Peace out. Dont forget to write me. my addresss is:

 

4502 Lakeshore Drive #1207

Waco, Texas 76710

Well I am getting transfered to Waco, Texas. I will finally after 9 months on a bike be back to a car. My new address is.

4502 Lakeshore Drive #1207
Waco, Texas 76710

 

This is my 5th area. I have been in every one of my areas for 18 weeks each. I believe that i will end my mission in waco. It is a smaller town than fort worth. It is my second biggest area. I am leaving the worst part of the mission as far as crime to go to waco. I am pretty excited.

 

I do not have alot of time due to transfers but i love you all and hope that yall are ok. Write me if you get bored. O ya this week we had  elder anderson from the 12 and elder callster from the seventy come to our mission. I also saw dallas degn there.

This week was so great!

Picture #1: Elder Mckinnon and I got to go to the Temple this morning.

There is a new temple video. If you have not seen it yet, You really need

to go and see it. If you have seen it, go again. I loved the video and the

session. I learned a lot. I have not been to the temple in 16 months and

it was just so amazing. So many questions were answered and so much

was brought to my understanding. I loved every minute of it. Mom can

get permission from President Wray to go to the Salt Lake Temple when

 I land before I am released. I will see if that is ok from this end. Thanks!

Picture #2 Is of Elder Mckinnon and I's Exchange last night. We got

Some really cool shirts from our investigators. I think my shirt really

matches me. I also got another levi looking hugo boss shirt. the shirt

 I am wearing is a "Guess" shirt. This exchange was really good.

Picture #3: Is of Idaho License plates! This made me really happy

to see someone from Idaho in Texas. Happy Day! I will see yall in 5 1/2

months. Love yall.

P.s. Don't forget to write!!!

Cherish Every Second.

Picture #1 Thats whats up. Our investigator gave me her biggest bear. Not sure if or how i will get it home. :)
Picture #2 Is a sneak peak. Enough said.

Picture #3 Is a bag of ties that our investigator gave us. People love us here in northside. yup they do.

 

Hey Family and Friends!

      This week was the most critical week in my mission. As i become more and more converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, the harder things get. I am proud to say that Satan has not won this week. Elder Allen has. I am so happy to be a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. If you are not a missionary and you are worthy and able to go and you haven't. Period. Have some dang faith and repent for procrastinating. Go, you will never regret it. Fear is the opposite of faith. "Every Member a missionary." -David o McKay

 

Sorry for being harsh... honest. This gospel has changed the lives of thousands of people, and i am a witness of that. As an outcome to this, i have changed. It is very important to never say, i will do it tomorrow. I can do my home teaching another day i have all month to do it. I will go help that person if the husbands not there. whatever it is.... Procrastinators unite tomorrow. I am so proud of all of my family and friends for the support they give me while i am out here on the lords mission. I am so happy that everyone is doing good.

 

Really quick before i leave. We had a really cool lesson this week after we gave service. A husband and wife were fighting immediately after the opening prayer. they have been competing to see who can read the book of Mormon the fastest. Well, all we said is, its not a race we need to read it together. Just like Elder Holland said, It is never too late so long as the Master of the vineyard says there is time. "It is never too late so long as the Master of the vineyard says there is time." I know this to be true. We still have time. Love yall

Dear Family and Friends,

 First I apologize because I cannot write everyone personaly, I really have no time to do so. Second this week I do not have any pictures. But on the good side there is good news. So about 7 weeks ago, President Ames said to not tract if at all posible. So We have not tracted for 7 weeks and we are seeing alot more member involvement. It is amazing to see progression at its finest. I am so happy to be a missionary and to be serving for the lord.

 

THank yall for your letters and thoughts. If you get a chance this week go out on an exchange and have fun with the missionaries. You will feel the spirit.

 

Member work is the best work for missionaries. If not we tract all day and its not fun. Work with the missionaries. trust that god put them there. Trust them with your friends.
