We are having fun!
December 9th

Well this week was awesome! We started it off finding out we are living in a six man apartment this transfer! We are having a ton of fun and it is so cool living with a ton of people! We then had a meeting with our district leaders and I got to hang out with Elder Johnson!

On Thursday we then had MLC and I got to see Elder Beeston and Baltazar!!!!! We had fun chillin and we will see eachother at Christmas which will be fun! On Friday we had our zone meeting and that went good. We then ate at a Buffet and it was super good!

On Saturday I saw the Buckeyes play because our dinner had it going on their TV and I missed watching football!! It was my first time seeing them play since I left home! I still don't know if they won or lost because no one has emailed me yet! So email me please!!!!!!

We then finished up the week with a baptism yesterday and it went really good! David and Joe both got baptized and I will leave some pictures at the bottom for ya! They are super cool and one lady that was going to get baptized on the 22nd will be out of town then so we are doing the baptism this Saturday so she can be confirmed on Saturday! We are going to tear it up here in December! 

Well I am looking forward to Christmas so I can talk to my family!! I sent my mom some Christmas present ideas so if you want to get me something ask her please! I love everything though so whatever I get I will love! Unless its poop don't send me poop!

I miss you and love you all!

Thanksgiving Week!

December 2
Well Thanksgiving was a blast! We played flag football and it was super fun! We ate at our bishops house and they had this fruit salad with little snickers bites in it and it was delicious! After that we ate at David's house and he is our investigator who will get baptized next Sunday! After that we went back to the apartment and invited other missionaries over to play Cranium and Mafia and we had a blast! Thanksgiving next year will be a little different though!

Wednesday morning though Elder Dixon forgot to lock the truck so that night it got broken into and my GPS and FM Transmitter got stolen. Elder Dixon's wallet got stolen as well so now I have to drive the whole time. I am a little bummed about that and the cops here wouldn't do anything about it. So I might need a cheap GPS for Christmas but nothing too big because I already know the area here and I would only need it for 8 months. 

David and Joe are getting baptized next Sunday which will be awesome! They are both super solid and they both talk about serving missions as well!

Transfer calls were this weekend and our zone got flipped upside down! We have 3 new District Leaders and one is Elder Johnson! We will be able to go on exchanges which is really cool! Hopefully our zone does really good this transfer! 

Well I will have to put up a christmas list next week or I will send a letter home with one in it cuz I have to get off!

I love you all!

FINALLY!!


Well we had a baptism this past Sunday! It was a mother and her 9 year old daughter! Her name is Adriana and her daughter is Tatiana. They are super cool and the church is just what they need! There should be some pictures at the bottom but the baptism was really good and the visiting teachers were presented right then and there which was amazing! This ward is really good!


This next Saturday we get transfer calls! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by! Elder Santos came to the baptism though and he is the AP so he knows everything that is going to happen and as he was walking away I asked him if I was staying and he turned and nodded his head yes! We have a ton of baptisms lined up for December so I am happy I will stay!

THANKSGIVING on Thursday! We are going to play flag football and I will play with Elder Johnson! We are going to have a ton of fun and eat a TON of food!!!

So any Black Friday deals? Someone could forward a walmart add or something so I can check out all the stuff I am missing out on! I am going to miss it but next year!! 

I plan on writing Ethan today but I had a dream about him a couple nights ago. So I was back home and Ethan couldn't handle the Marines and quit and was explaining how he couldn't take some of the things they did in boot camp and we were talking about my mission and how he wanted to serve a misson really bad. I was pumping him up and it was cool but only in my dreams! I am going to support him through the marines though and he is going to serve his own mission! I love him though and I wish I could focus more and write him a ton of letters!

I got to get going but I miss you all!

PS this is a pictures of when we went to the temple a couple weeks ago too!
