Elders Santos, ALLEN, Baltazar & Prieto

Well I had fun this week! I didn't take notes though! So I will be winging it!

We have been taking slow-mo videos with Elder Baltazar's camera! We were kicking stuff and dropping water balloons on each others faces HAHAHA!

Nothing too crazy went on though, we just taught lessons, talked to people, drove around, and ate food. Notice that sleep wasn't in there! I am pretty tired!

 I am saving my beef jerky and eat it during study time, but more would be cool! 

One of my favorite scriptures is 1 Nephi 4:6 It is how Nephi is guided by the spirit and didn't know what he would do. That is like me out here because I have no clue what I am doing half the time but I know I have the Spirit and it will guide me. 

Well I am failing now, I have nothing to email about so sorry.

I miss you all and hope you have fun back in Ohio!

Elder Allen

P.S. I went to the temple this week!   I wish I could go back but I have to wait 3 months!

His email to me was really long...so I'm glad mine was this week sorry to all of you!  We shall hear from him next week!

Elder Santos & Elder Allen

Week of August 12

So I am loving it here in Hemet with Elder Santos! We have a ton of fun and we do work too. We had a baptism yesterday and we have some scheduled for next week too! Roberto Martinez got baptized and he is 18 and he is pretty cool. His aunt and uncle are members and tons of people showed up for the baptism.  I love living with Elder Baltazar! We have fun all the time and hang out and wish Elder Beeston was with us. Anyway here are the notes I took this week.

I went on an exchange with another missionary in Idyllwild which is a town up in the mountains. There should be a picture with me and Elder Santos on the way up the mountain. The area is pretty dead up there though and the people aren't too accepting either.

I am going to need a weekly update on my balance for 5/3

I have seen people who used to live in Moreno Valley from my first area who live here now which is pretty cool!

We have been super busy! We have tons of people to teach and we have to go on splits sometimes so we can see everyone.

I can't believe I hit a year in a couple days! Time has flown by and I am going to start having my lasts of everything like last Thanksgiving and stuff like that! I hear it is like I will be home in no time which is weird!

I plan on sending my memory card home soon too.

I have been way better with testing and insulin being here and I feel super good. Hopefully Elder Baltazar and I start running soon! We are going to get so SWOLL!

That's all I got written down! I miss you all and hope you have a good week!

Week of August 19

I can't believe I only have a year left! It has flown by so fast! I am low though so I am just going to write my notes from the week

When does OSU start playing?

I started running with Elder Baltazar this week and so we will be getting in shape!

I was on exchanges with the APs and that was fun! Elder Moser is super cool and he is serving a 3 year mission which ends in February. I t is a long story and it was something with getting a visa but he is super cool!

I am super tired

Thanks for the package! I LOVE BEEF JERKY!!!!

I see Elder Johnson once a week here at P-day activities. It is cool serving around him. We are in the same stake but not the same zone.

We had 3 baptisms yesterday. It was Jose Pineda, Felipe Gomez, and Arturo Garcia (there names are in order with the pictures). It was a super cool baptism and we have a lot of work now because Arturo's family can get baptized too. I would write more but like I said I am low and need something to eat.

 I love you all and miss you

Elder Allen

PS  Diabetes SUCKS!! HAHAHA

These were my emails from Evan this week

he said he didn't have time to write to you all but here's the news I got.

Well I haven't got your email for this week for some reason!  I sent to many pictures to him!! Had to re email him. I did get transferred and my companion is Elder Santos and I live with Elder Prieto and Elder Baltazar! Baltazar is one of his favorite MTC buddies! I love it here in Hemet but I don't like being a zone leader! It is just so much more stuff to do! So many meeting too! Elder Johnson says hi!  Johnson is from Toledo Ohio. We are basically in the same zone! They split the zones here in this stake and he is in the other zone. I did my blood test too so the results are going to be here any day now. I am telling you it will be higher than 8.5 though. I am doing better though so don't worry about that. I might need some more lantus sometime! I am going to hit a year in 10 days ! Isn't that crazy! I can't believe it! I hear from tons of other missionaries that time gets even faster after your year and you start having all your lasts like last thanksgiving and Christmas and stuff. I am going to be home in no time I guess. I love my mission though and I hope it doesn't go that fast! I love you mom and sorry this isn't a big email and I can't write a big email for everyone this week. We have to use computers in the stake center too which stinks. The library here isn't open on Mondays. I love you a ton MOM!!! I can't believe your two big boys are gone! I already miss Ethan too and its been almost a year lol. 
Well I don't have time sorry! I love the pictures and I don't need too much just lantus insulin. I love my companion Elder Santos he is from Uruguay and we have fun. He is pretty goofy  I was around him in the Jurupa zone though so I know him already. I gotta get going but I love you! I email at 9 every morning from now on so you gotta get your emails in a little earlier lol!!

Elder Allen

He seems to be doing real well and I'm so proud of him being a zone leader!!  He may not like it but we all know it will be a great leadership training for him.  I'm so glad he loves what he is doing it makes being away from him so much easier knowing he is having fun and serving too!  I don't have any new pictures yet I will need to get on him about that!  I need to up date him companion section of the blog.

He has a new address on the blog so write him he loves mail!
