So we got transfer calls on Saturday and Elder Dixon is going to Menifee and I am going to be companions with Elder Moss who was Dixon's MTC comp. Elder Beeston and Jensen are training and Elder Baltazar is still a ZL but with a new comp. I will be able to see him at our zone leader meeting we have at the beginning of every month! Other than that there aren't too many other changes that happened.

This coming Sunday we should have a baptism and it wasn't this Sunday because Andres couldn't stop smoking soon enough. He has been off for about 5 days now and we are super excited for him!

I am happy to still be here in Hemet because its a good area and the ward is really working well. I will have been here for 7 1/2 months at the end of this transfer so that would be the longest time I will have spent in an area!

I am officially addicted to watches just like my dad! I have 7 watches out here and whenever I see a cool watch I feel like I have to buy it! They are so cool though! I will put a picture down here of them on my desk.

Well I gotta get going but I love you all!

No time Sorry! I will send a HUGE email next week! I love you all and I love my mission!

Elder Allen

Well Evan way to start the year off!  This was his email today!!  So here is a bit more from my personal email to his MOM!  I'm putting this one here so I can embarrass him.  Maybe when he gets home he will see this and think that maybe he should of done a better job emailing his family. BUT maybe not...he is having fun on his mission and only has one day a week to get things done. I STILL LOVE HIM!!!!!

Mom, 

Well I guess I will need the money to get a camera and I plan on getting a cheaper one. I don't have much time left so I am sooooooooooooooo jealous! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you so much and I would love to hang out with the snow!!! Is Ethan doing better? Is he loving it? I want to hear from Colin and me and Josh email each other every once in a while. Can you try to get Colin's email? A party would be nice! So have dad text me if you put money on my card because we should have a baptism this Sunday! I love you mom!!!

New Year's Eve this week!

December 30, 2013

Well first off Christmas was sick! I got a new Humvee watch! It has a velcro nylon band and at first I wasn't too pumped about that but after wearing it for 2 days straight I love it! It looks so cool! Thanks Dad!! I also got my new basketball shoes that I am excited to use for the 2nd time! 1st was christmas night and they work really good! I got so much food and candy! I get to snack all personal and companion study! I also got some subway cards and some money too so today we are going to go buy some stuff! I am not quite sure what I want to buy though. Also on Christmas we went to Denny's in the morning for breakfast and we saw these two guys get in a fist fight and beat the crap out of eachother! We also ate dinner with a family at Jack in the Box too! 

It was so cool to talk to everyone back home! Mom cried!!!! Its cuz she loves me! It was super cool to see all Dad's guns! I can't wait to come home, shoot those guns, get a job, earn some money, and then buy a ton of my own guns! Seeing the house was really cool too! It was super cool to see Cyrus too! 

Christmas Eve was fun too! We had our mission party which was incredibly fun! I got to see Baltz and Beeston and Harris! We had so much fun!!!! The party was so sick! We are so good friends! We partied it up!!!! Later that night when we got back to Hemet we went up to Idyllwild, a small town in the mountains, and we stayed at the missionaries house and played charades and mafia and Elder Johnson and I were Santa and we rung bells on the roof!!

We are teaching these 3 brothers and they are 51 50 and 41 and the two youngest have mental problems but they all came to church this Sunday and are really progressing so we are looking forward to the oldest's baptism on the 12th of January! A member of the ward got them all Christmas presents too!

2 weeks left of the transfer!

I get to see Beeston and Baltz on Friday at MLC!

I love you all! Have a Happy New Year!

Elder Allen

Well there goes another week!

December 16, 2013

Well we had our baptism on Saturday and it went really good! Pricila and her husband Arturo are now members and we have to work with their kids now. Yesterday David, Joe, and Pricila got confirmed and I confirmed Joe and it was in Spanish as well! Lucila is another investigator we have that is going to get baptized next Sunday! That will complete their family which is super cool!

I am planning on Skyping at 2:30 my time so in Ohio it will be 5:30 so I can't wait!!!

Multi-Zone Conference is tomorrow and that will be fun! 

I went on exchanges this week as well and I was with Elder Cochran in his area and we had a member drive us out to a restaurant in the middle of no where and we couldn't even find them and when we went back outside our ride was gone and then the phone died 5 minutes later so we had to walk all the way back into town and we were so tired!

I am not living in a 6 man apartment anymore because this past Tuesday we moved the 2 Elders on bike into a new apartment so now we got a bunch of room again. It was super fun in the 6 man though!

I bought protein last week! Gonna get SWOLL! 

I am a little nervous about sending a memory card home so I might start backing them up out here on my hard drive.

I hit 16 months yesterday as well so that means there is only 8 months left which stinks because time is flying by and it is just going to fast! I need more time to reach my goals!!!!

Well I will email a little next Monday but not to much because we get to Skype! I love you!
