Hey Mom!

I love you!  Sorry I don't have much time this week!  We have been busy all day working on a zone plan that we have to have ready and it took up most of the day.  I promise I'll write more the next week haha.  But all is well!  We had some really good experiences this last week and we had 5 investigators come to church.  I  know Troy teases you about loving me more but tell him you love all your children the same!  I promise we will follow all your instructions in opening the Christmas gifts.  That's part of the fun and I promise that I will wait and take pictures.  Thank you so much!  ha ha ha woops I mean ho ho ho!  Tell Troy and his family and the Oaks thank you in advance and I love them all.  Everything is going great Mom, my companion is doing really great as well.  We are learning a lot!  He is definitely a good companion!  I'm not sure if I will get changed or not but I think I will get changed.  We have changes in 4 weeks on December 15.  Thanks Mom!  One reason I'm grateful for you is that you always cheer me up and you are always positive and smiling!  Keep on being the Mom!  I love you and sorry again that my letter was short.  Love you more than all the stuffing that will be eaten this week!

Hey Dad!

I love you and miss you!  Sorry but I don't have much time to write this week!  We have been super busy all day working on a zone plan!  I promise I will write more next week.  I really appreciate all you do for me.  Well it's a bit stressful at times but I'm doing good!  I am trying to continually be better and I know that I will keep on progressing!  I'm really learning a lot though and that's good!  My companion is great!  He is getting used to things right now but is doing super good!  Well I'm teaching him English right now, that's part of the training lol.  Well I have a lot I need to do better so I can help him in his kingdom.  I've been emailing Bryce constantly but I haven't heard from Geordan in awhile.  We are still finding people but not as much this week.  That's okay the next week we will find a lot.  We had a miracle with one of our couple investigators.  They were living together and had been for a long time.  We told them they needed to get married but they couldn't because one of them was married to someone else a long time ago and hadn't gotten a divorce.  They went and talked to a lawyer and he told them that they had been separated so long that they were automatically divorced.  They don't have to pay or do anything!  They just need to get married and they are good.  This last week we were on a bus and when we got on I saw a youth and the spirit told me to talk to him but I wasn't sure at first so I went and sat down and finally got up and talked to him.  So it turns out his brother had been listening to some other missionaries and this guy had a lot of interest so we have an appointment with him this week!  Thanks for everything Dad!  I love you and I am doing great!

Hola Mama!  le quiero mucho!

This last week was really amazing!  My new companion is Elder Gutierrez!  He is really awesome and we get along very well!  He is from Chihuahua Mexico!  We got to eat in the mission home on Tuesday and then we got paired with our trainees!  We had a big training meeting with president and I really learned a lot!  Thank you so much Mom!  You are the best ever!  You are very talented Mom!  We are so fortunate to have the prophet we do!  He is a great man.  I feel that I can overcome anything when I go to the temple!  We are truly blessed to have so many temples close.  My week was super awesome!  About 2 weeks ago Elder Flores and I contacted a lady and this week Elder Gutierrez and I found her family at home and we taught them and the spirit was so strong!  We got there and the Father was so burdened with something that he was almost in tears at the end of the lesson.  When we went back the second time he was so different and HAPPY!  They are now progressing to baptism!  We are so blessed here!  I am so blessed to have my new companion he has been a great help to me this week.  I have a lot to make better and I know that he will help me!  Our investigators are great.  We have about 6 or so that are on the way to be baptized and we are finding more.  Thank you so much mom!  I know you will love Christmas in Germany!  I am really blessed to have you for my Mom!  Heavenly Father knew I needed you for a Mom!  I love my Mother more than all the particles of dirt on the earth!  Love you bestest!

Hey Dad!

I love you!  This week was really great!  So my new companions name is Elder Gutierrez and he is from Chihuahua Mexico!  I'll send you guys a picture.  He is really awesome and he just completed his first week in the mission!  It is really awesome and exciting to be training!  It is definitely a great responsibility and you learn a lot from it.  This week was a little crazy with getting use to everything and getting adjusted but we are getting back into the swing of things!  It is really fun being with Elder Gutierrez!  We had a really spiritual experience with an investigator in a family home evening!  The spirit was so strong!  We talked about eternal families!  Wow that is really cool about the Phoenix temple.  I really like the Gilbert temple too.  I realized that I have been so blessed in my life and I feel even more grateful for things I didn't realize were such a big blessing.  Well it is definitely interesting and a lot of work.  But it's work that I love!  I'm continually trying to be better and be a good example to my companion!  He is a really good companion!  Well sometimes it is challenging but I'm trying to do the best I can and I have been really blessed!  The spirit helps a lot!  The trust President has in us is really big and it is a valuable thing!  Only a few of the zone leaders are training right now.  My new companion talks a lot of Spanish.  We have had a lot of success this week and the spirit helped us to find a lot of people!  We are continuing to progress and do better!  Heavenly Father has really blessed me and I'm so grateful for that!  I know the gospel is true and that this church is the church of Christ!  I love you Dad!

Hello Dear Mother!

I hope that you are well!  I am doing super great here.  Well we just had transfers again!  Something interesting happened.  Elder Flores and I split up and are now training!  In our ward there are 2 areas.  He is in one and I am in the other.  We are both still zone leaders but now we are training new missionaries as well!  It is super awesome and super crazy!  I'm so excited!!!  I don't get assigned to my new companion until tomorrow so I will let you know next week what happened!  Let me just say that I had like absolutely the best week ever!  We had 6 investigators come to church and they all loved it and they all have baptismal dates!  Sunday night a sister from our ward accompanied us and we met 3 of her friends and taught them all and put baptismal dates with them!  It was a really great experience.  I'm so happy with the success that we have been having here!  I know that the Lord is really blessing us and that he will continue to bless us even more!  My week was great Mom!  I had a lot of experiences where the spirit guided us to find people!  I was on divisions with an Elder and he had an impression to go and help some sisters that I didn't notice.  They were shoveling a huge pile of dirt.  So we went and helped them and taught them and 2 of them came to church!  They loved it!  It was such a neat experience!  I have a testimony of service with piles of dirt!!!!  It really works.  Yes I am getting plenty of rest!  Thank you for everything Mom!  I love you!  Have a fantastic week and spread the gospel and think of me!  I love you more than all the moms in the world!

Hello Pops!

Love you and miss you tons!  I have really great news!  I am now a training zone leader!  My companion and I are both still zone leaders but in different areas.  We are both training new missionaries as well!  As of right now I have no idea who my new companion will be but I am super excited!  I am really excited to learn and grow from this experience and I am sure that this new missionary will help me a lot!  I also had like the best week ever!  Six of our investigators came to church and it was just awesome!  They all have baptismal dates as well!  There was one day that I was on splits with another Elder and we had the goal to find 5 new investigators that day and we beat that goal!  We found 6!  The spirit really helped us!  Our lessons were really spiritual too and we could see the desire of these people to change.  All and all it was a great week!  Glad it's cooled down at home, it has cooled down here to.  We are really having great success, we found 15 new investigators!  Thank you so much for your counsel Dad I really appreciate it!  I love you!  Have a fantastic week and take care of yourself!

Hi Mom!

I'm doing really great!  How are you?  This last week was a little bit rougher because we had some investigators drop us and a lot of members couldn't accompany us but it was still a good week!  We had the mission council and it looks like we might be getting I-pads sometime but I have know idea when.  The council was really inspiring though and I really enjoyed it!  There are a lot of things that I want to change and do better!  Sorry Mom, I promise that nothing is wrong and nothing happened!  If you don't get an email just wait until Tuesday!  I'll try to let you know ahead of time if I can.  I love you!  I'm grateful for you emails.  The temple was really great and helped a lot!  Yes we did take pictures and I'll try to get them sent soon!  I'm excited for your trip to Germany and that Dad gets to see all the history places he wants to.  Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.  Our investigators are good.  We have a few that are progressing and hopefully more will soon.  Thank you for your prayers.  Busy doesn't even describe it!  But it's a lot of fun.  We have been busy making the new zone plan.  It's a plan that all the missionaries in our zone follow to help us do better and have more success.  So we have been busy making that and working in our area and with the mission council and a lot of other things.  I haven't sent my suit yet but I will.  I can listen to efy and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and anything with the church label on it.  When we got the cub scout's box we ate everything in the first day!  My shoes are fine and yes my socks are all great.  I love you more than all the buses in Mexico!  Have a great week Mom and thank you so much for everything!  I love you best!

Hello Dad!

I love you!  I hope all is well!  Your Stake Conference sounded like a great meeting.  It's amazing how we can use technology to spread the gospel!  Heavenly Father really inspired that field!  I'm glad you and Mom went to Payson and enjoyed the mountains.  My week was really good!  It was a bit more difficult as we had some investigators drop us and a lot of appointments fell through but we still had a successful week!  We have kind of slowed on our contacts a little but we are starting to pick up again.  We were really focusing on working with the members and investigators we had but we need to keep contacting more.  We are going to have miracles here!  Without Heavenly Fathers help I could do nothing.  Right now I'm really trying to become a better person and a better missionary.  A lot of times I feel like Nephi because of the many sins that so easily beset me.  It's amazing how so little can be really big stumbling blocks.  I know that with Gods help I can change and be better.  Thank you Dad!  Have a really good week and be safe!  I love you and miss you!  Sorry if the letters are short this week I didn't have much time!  I love you though and I'm doing really great!  Love you more than all the coke in the world!

Hola Mama! 

te amo!  espero que estes bien!  Know Mom there are a lot of missionaries way better than me.  I'm very fortunate to have one of them as my companion right now!  Elder Flores is awesome!  Thanks for praying for my investigators, it really helped!  We had a super neat experience!  On Saturday we were really close to the house walking by a little corner store and I had the thought to go and buy some bread because I was hungry so I did.  We met the owner of the store and started talking to her and we found out she has a son who is a member in Texas.  We taught her and the next day she came to church and loved it!  She wants to come back and I'm almost positive that she will be baptized!  You and Dad are both huge examples.  My cloths have been holding up super great!  I still have a few shirts that I haven't even used.  I just need to clean my suit because last Sunday it was pouring buckets here and I was up to my knees in water with my suit pants and I jumped in a huge pile of mud by accident thinking it was solid.  My shoes are doing good!  Well one pair that is haha the other pair got wet.  We have the council with the mission president and the other zone leaders this week.  Thanks for the hugs Mom I'm sending you an even bigger one!  I love you more than all the miles I've walked in my mission and that's like 8 to 10 a day!  Love you best Mom!

Hola Papi te quiero y te extrano!

We had a really great week!  We are really augmenting our numbers and we have been finding a lot of people!  We met one of our neighbors on Saturday and Sunday she came to church!  We also went to the temple today as a zone!  It was such a great and needed experience!  The new video is amazing!  We also had an investigator that got attacked (verbally) by some relatives because she has been listening to us but she feels that what we teach is true and she wants to keep on listening!  We also had some investigators that stopped listening to us this week.  They have had hard trials and they decided to just step away but I know that Heavenly Father will help us find more people to teach and I know we planted a seed or helped that seed grow so it wasn't wasted!  The work is going really good!  President Jordan and the assistants congratulated us on the success we have been having as a zone!   By know means is it thanks to us.  It's all thanks to Heavenly Father and the amazing missionaries we have here!  The results of this zone have really augmented and are the best they have been in some time!  I'm really happy to be able to help and do what I can!  I love being a missionary and serving others!  I just love working!  A lot of times things don't happen like we want but if we learn to align our will with the Lords then we will find that everything happens just as we want.  Thank you for all you do!  Be safe and go walking with Mom!  Love you pops!

Hola Mama!

Te quiero mucho y te extrano!  How was your week Mom?  My week was really good!  We had a lot of progress this week!  We have been super wet as well.  It has been raining nonstop.  It was really sad because there was hardly anyone at church this week because of the rain and we only had 2 of our investigators come, but 2 is better than none!  This week I have been learning a lot and I see a lot of things that I want to change and do better and that is what I'm going to focus on!  I want to be a better servant of the Lord and be a better missionary!:D  Tell Brother Godfrey thank you for helping you guys!  I'm really sorry for being a pain a lot of times when I was growing up.  I really wish I would've helped more and I will be sure to help all I can when I get home!  You both have done so much for me and I want to do all I can for you and Dad!  That's really great that you and Dad are reading the scriptures together.  I'm really happy to hear that!  Thank you so much for your support Mom!  I love you!  This week we had many experiences but I have learned a lot about repentance.  We need to change into the people that the Lord wants us to be, but we have to let him mold us and shape us.  If we are willing to strive to obey him and helps others then we will be blessed!  I have a testimony that the church is true Mom and I love being a member!  We are truly blessed and I love sharing this message with those who will hear it!  I love you too Mom and all you do for me!  Love you more than all the drops of rain that have fallen here in my mission!

Buenas tardes papa!

te quiero y te extrano!  I hope you are doing well Dad!  My week was really successful!  We had a lot of success working with the members and we have augmented our results!  I've been really blessed to see the progress here in my area and in my zone!  We are getting better everyday.  I always love your sense of humor, don't ever lose that!  I love you!  Right now I want to focus on changing myself so I can become a better person and be more of the person that Heavenly Father needs me to be!  I have a really big desire to serve Him and I want to be the best qualified I can.  I know I won't be perfect but what I do know is that I will never stop trying!  I'm seeing things I need to change and I'm trying my best to prepare myself now.  I'm really excited for this opportunity!  Dad I know that you were a great missionary and in fact I think that we are a lot alike.  Your mission helped you become the person you are and for that I am super grateful!  You have helped me all my life and I am very fortunate to have you as my loving father!  I love you and miss you Dad!
