dear everyone,
ITS HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok its hot. o well. it doesnt really matter. so this week we set 2 baptism dates. So i have been thinking about life alot lately. i have come to a conclusion that people do have agency and they are good at using this gift. sometimes i wanna pull a satan and make everyone do what they are suppost to do but o well. so this week we taught 9 lessons. so i have told my companion that this is unexceptible to only have 9 lessons. so we are going to bump them up. so i am so glad i am on a mission. i am so happy to be here helping people change there lives. well besides the unbearible heat and humitity i am ok and i love the mission. sorry i was a day late emailing, it was memorial day and we couldnt email. so have a good week everyone.

ok so this week we did ok. we could have done so much better but bad weeks happen according to my trainer. so i am kinda the type of person that will tell you my opinion especially when you ask me for it. so we have like a billion and a half "potential investigators" so we have to sort through them. how we do this is tell them why we are there what we do and what will be expected. it is then their choice to continue with the lessons. well i did this and now we only have half a billion people. so it is sweet to have investigators but we still need to find more. my companionship is awesome. we get doors slammed in our face. the first door i had slammed in my face my companion said well lets go. and i said nope he is being taught. i knocked on the door again and said listen i am going to tell you about the most important thing in the world and you are going to listen because you need what i am telling you. so we got in and taught him a lesson. that is how it is done. you gotta bold down here in texas. well that was my favorite thing this week. i gave to spanish priesthood blessings this week. one to a member and one to an investigator. it was pretty sweet. so besides the heat that i am just loving, we had a pretty good week this week. anyway whenever y'all are board y'all could write me ya know. my new address is
 
Elder Dillon Glen Allen
1400 West Valley Ridge Blvd
Lewisville, TX 75077
 
dont be afraid to write me the only person who will get bit or hurt during "this mailing letters to elder allen" is the mailman. i promise it will not hurt you. so i am glad i am on a mission. and every single male gender of age to go on a mission, you are making the biggest mistake of your life by not serving a mission. it teaches you so much. and it is the best two years. adios and dont forget to write me!

hello, so this week was pretty cool! i got to texas and met my mission president president sagers. we went to his house and ate a delisious meal of brisket! brisket is the bom. ya so we had a little testimony meeting and then we went to a church and had the in-field orientation. it was pretty sweet! then we went to the ap's house and spent the night. we woke up and went back to the church for more orientation and then we got our companions. my companion is elder jones from cowley, wyoming. he is a great human being. he has taught me and is teaching me alot about the mission. he speak beautiful spanish. me and him are like a tornado going into trailer parks preaching the word. we tear it to peaces and then help them put it back together the right way. ya we are awesome. just saying. so the day i got my new companion we went "knocking" and met and got 1 new investigator names Raul! ya he is going to be baptized when the time is right. so we honestly have no support from members...well they feed us... but we have no missionary ward leaders so we knock alot. and it is very succesfull. hispanic people are very nice when they are not waisted. we met the ramos family and they are now reading the book of mormon. we also found this awsome dude named albert and he reads the BOM alot. so does anyone know what it is like to sit in a building for three hours staring at people who are speaking a foreign language. ya that was me at church, and ya they speak super duper fast and so i pretty much just sat there. well thats exactly what i did. ya well that was my week and it was sweet! i will tell you all about this week later!

ok so this week is a rush... i do not have any time to email so i will make it quick. i love the mtc and i am glad to be leaving to the field. i am very excited. i know that i am in the right place at the right time. last week russel m nelson talked to us and it was sweet. he taught us about the plan of salvation. i am loving the gospel. the world is in a state of pre-cleansing. the church is being sounded in every ear. soon and sooner than all of us think the second coming will come with the very fires of hell that we will live in if we do not repent. the world is being prepared to be cleansed by fire. all those who do no repent will surley die. i am fearful for all of my friends and family who will not repent. have you ever seen a movie where the camera view is looking at the side of the hill and there is sound in the distance, the farther up the mountain you go the louder the sound gets, when you peak the top of the mountain you see the 300 million soldiers marching to destroy the little town at the base of the hill. the hill represents the blindness of the people in the world. they do not know that there is an army of 300million people about to kill them until it is too late. i feel the power of SATAN everyday trying to penatrate me and everyone in the world. he is real he is coming fast. the second coming is coming fast. repent. forget your pride and set your lives away and serve the lord. every member a missionary. Heaven=Eternal Progression with the ones you love, Hell=No Progression without those you love. please open your eyes everyone and see how pitiful we are if we do not use the atonement. i love the gospel. a testimony IS NOT YOURS do not keep it in. SHARE IT WITH EVERYBODY. if you do not you shall surely perrish!!! i love you all and i will email next week and tell you my address in texas. repent all ye ends of the earth and endure to the end!

Hello!! how is everyone?? still havent heard from alot of you. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa tubbs and jacob for emailing me! Thank you wyatt, mom, and dad! thank you Googlemans!! thank you everyone! you all have heard that mail for a missionary is good. well i will tell you how good it is. its not...... haha just kidding! i love mail! i take one thing out of everyones email and apply it to my life as much as i can! you all help me so much more than you know. thank you so much for everyones support and prayers they are heard and anwered and acted upon. Jacob i cannot send you a tag until the field! the mtc are kinda butts about me getting more. but o well jacob i also need your home address.
So whats up everyone?
how are you wyatt? whats knew? i hear from untold sorces that you are trying to recruit people for swing chior. now didnt i tell you that you would like it? haha ya i loved swing chior! email me some pretty weird or awesome stories! ok? hey i can get and write mail very fast so you can also write me.
Hello emmett! happy birthday. that tie has been in the presence of the predident of the apostles! isn't that just cool! i know it is! emmett i know you dont like reading but if you read the book of mormon you will like reading. even though the book of mormon is confusing,if you read it out loud everyday you will soon understad it and find yourself reading it alot. happy birthday! Feliz Cupleamos
OLIVIA! you are my sister! you should be writing me! i am your only boyfriend you should have! :) i am just kidding. but ya! draw me some pictures and i will compare them to all of the rest of the sister pictures here at the mtc. i know that you will win! hey you to need to read the book of mormon!
Mom! thank you so much for your example! you have taught me alot! everyone should be reading the book of mormon like you do. I promise you and the entire family that if EVERYONE will make it there FIRST priority OVER EVERYTING to read the book of mormon that you will learn, grow, gain a testimony, have a happier day, reveive personal revelation. and when i say put this as your first priority that is what i mean. god is first and you will not enter into heaven without a knowledge of the gospel...(ppsst.. the gospel is the book of mormon.. that was a hint!) i love the book of mormon. put it above everything else. it is easy, if you put god first he will put you first. weird cocept!
Dad! well i know a just taste of the mission, and it is delicious!! o man i love it. thank you so much for your example. When i get off my mission i am going to make you read my journals and i will read yours! ok? :) love you so much and thank you for everything you do.
ok So this week was kinda downgrated from all the other weeks. no apostle came but o well. so i have been trying to decide what to write in my letter. but have no idea. so i am just going to type randomly until something comes up. so the entire schedule at the mtc changed so my p day is on tuesday this week and next week. i leave for texas in two weeks. it is amazing how time flys when you work it to death. there is not a lot that goes on at the mtc worth talking about. the food it... well i guess its food. haha but i love the teachers at the mtc. even though they are only two years older than me they are easily 15 years more mature. if anyone has any thoughts on not serving a mission than SHAME ON YOU. god has given you everything to you. just think of this. the dust of the earth is more obedient that anyone on earth. the dust  obeys everything it is told to you. so we should honestly be desinagrated because everyone is so disobedient. so be obedient and you will recieve blessings. thank you everyone for everything you all do. and remember...this will help you... SATAN CAN NOT READ YOUR THOUGHTS! he is nothing. he will not read your thoughts. but he is smart enough to put thoughts into your mind. he puts those thoughts in your mind when you walk around the earth. you see something and he puts a thought in. so to make satan blind to the things he puts in front of you. you must obey every commandment to blind satan. keep at it. the advesary can and will be eliminated!! gight for the right team. do not fight for a terrorist!
I love everyone and thank you so much for your support. (: love you all talk to you soon

i am doing great! so this week was awesome. we have simulated live investigators that we teach here at the mtc. so this week we committed one of them to be baptized in two weeks. its not that great but it took 5 blooming weeks. haha laugh it up. o well i am learning and me and my companion are finally getting along. i love the mtc. the food is finally just beyhond beliefly descusting but i still eat it. and i swear the food is not what is getting everyone sick... its those dang college rats. i saw them preparing fruit and they would cut it up into squares and pick it up and smell it and man handle it. Ew. they looked up and saw me and they must have seen moroni behind me or something because i put the fear of my salvation into their hands if i die without preaching the gospel. :) haha well that was the hilight of my week. so i am meeting everyone here at the mtc. there are a couple from malad. the howards. they served in the phillipeans. they are now i believe working at the mtc. they are awesome. i also saw spencer canova and sam wiscombe from jackson. it was pretty exciting! so there are alot of destractions from the outside world and i am proud to note that i am doing severly well on casting out the advesary. it is amazing how much i have grown. if any of you have time throughout your day......haha ya right you have all the time in the world compared to me. do not let any time go to waste!! time is like eternal life here. so i am commanding you to read "beware of pride"-by ezra taft bensen. i am commanding it, this means it must be done!!! so yestarday we were privelaged to here another apostle at the fireside. m. russel ballard spoke to us. it was amazing. so this is what you will do from now on everyone. Repent or live forever with your sins in hell with no eternal progression. Well this week was amazing and i want Letters people lettlers. you have so much free time! Use it for the better just dont sit around.!! thank you all. i love you all with all of my heart. stay strong
