No Thanksgiving in Mexico


Hey Mom,
     I am doing good, I actually kinda forgot about Thanksgiving... I dont even remember the date that it falls on, like the third Thursday or something like that. I am sure the injury has got to be ruff on her, I know it was for me to be watching everyone play and not be able to do really anything to help them. You can cheer... but it isnt the same. I am glad that she isnt letting it get to her though. Now she just needs to know that she needs to come off of this injury sprinting and be even stronger when she gets back.
     No you didnt tell me that Kenna made the basketball team! hahaha That is awesome, and I with her am super excited to see her play. I dont know how much of a help I will be to her because I havent really played basketball in two years... But I will try to help her... haha
     Glad you liked my letter, just remember to do the homework. ;) hahahaha I actually told my companion while I was putting it in the drop box thing that when you got the letter you would probably cry... hahahahahahahahaha I still kinda know you even after two years being gone ;) hahahaha I honestly dont need anything, and even if I did I wouldnt ask for it... There really is no need, seeing that I will be coming home this month. I am leaving a lot of things behind in this house because I just dont want to take it because I know I will just leave it behind when I leave. Dont worry, I am sure I will stil be a por driver when I get home. Just a few review crashes and I should be set ;) hahaha
     Well unfortunately I am being changed again... I am not very excited about it either. I am now going to be in Hidalgo, Villahermosa. My companions name is Elder V. So I dont really know what to expect because I have never been to Villahermosa before except for when I pass through it on the bus and then I am usually asleep so I really have no idea. We had so much good planned this December to do here. We have like 4 baptisms ready, lots of good activities, and the members were getting excited to start working with this new way. So next week I will let you know all the details about the new area and everything.
     Well Thats about it for me, Hope everybody is still doing good and doing their homework. Be Happy and always remember to smile.

6 Weeks...


Hey mom, We just had one baptism this last Saturday :) It went really well and we have like 3 or 4 that we are preparing right now for their own baptisms. :) So things are going good :) NO we never have any big things like that for the youth, except for last Saturday and today they went paintballing. That is awesome that McKenna got her card on her birthday :) That means Dad got his card? I dont remember what cards got sent home together hahaha. Well I am doing good, nothing really too new here... hahah Changes are next week, and my companion wants to leave.. hahaha not because of me but because he has been in the area three transfers and if he stays with me to "kill" me, he will be here for at least 5 transfers. And that is a long time. Everything is going good though: I am doing good and Sounds like you all are too :)
 
Love You guys, have a good week :) In just 6 weeks I will be home to hug ;) hahahahahahaha

Cow Heart..Ugh!


Well I also dont really have much to write about this week.... hahaha We had a good week though. Just all the stuff that happened is just normal stuff that you have already heard. This last Sunday it was Stake Conference. It was this stakes first conference and it was really really good. We had 5 people in church and we have two baptismal dates. One for this week and the week after too :) They are super ready and they are awesome people too :) I have had lots of fun teaching them.
Wow... look at you guys go hahaha you already had mormon.org accounts. hhahaha I honestly dont really know how this is all going to work with using the internet and stuff. But that is why we are going to be studying it for 2 hours a week... hahaha Yes I do remember my Facebook password.  I am 98% sure that is it. If I am right, I will have a lot of friend requests... hahahaha
Kenna and Dad should be getting cards soon... hahahaha hopefully that is.... Well I really dont know what else to write... hahaha I had my temple interview with President CasteƱeda this last Saturday and passed ;) hahaha But it only lasts unitl January, so I will need to have an interview with the bishop set up.Oh, I also ate cow heart... that was weird. It didnt taste bad, but it did taste different. I also got a flu shot yesterday... My arm is kinda sore today now though.
Well to end I am going to share three things I learned or liked in the Stake Conference:
1. In Stake Conference, if there is not an Apostle there the Stake President represents them and is basically an Apostle in these two hours of conference.
2. "To receive Celestial Glory we HAVE to give more than a terrestial effort."
3. "God´s love is unconditional, but his blessings are conditioned"
 
Well hope you guys have a good week. :) Happy Birthday Kenna if the card doesnt get to you in time.

Travel Plans :o)


I will be getting home December 31, 2012 at 4:44 p.m. Ugh I didnt like getting this, I have a sick feeling in my tummy hahahaha I dont know why. I will be coming home with Elder Hartvigsen, my past companion. :)


Hey Mom and Dad,
      Well I am doing good, I didnt really like getting the flight plans, my tummy went all funny feeling... hahaha But I would like to ask a favor from everyone is that they dont write me about home or anything like that until at least the tenth of December or 12-10-2012 or December 10, 2012. Thanks :) But I will answer these few questions that you have already asked. I personally dont think I am trunky... here we call it dead... hahaha I do want people to come over the day that I get home. I think it would be more exciting and everything. I would like my first meal from home to be homemade chicken noodle soup. But I kinda wanna eat Panda too seeing how it was my last last last meal that I ate before I went into the MTC.
      Another crazy thing is changing in the mission. Now, we are going to start teaching using Mormon.org. So once a week starting this week we need to study it for two hours. We need to teach with that and encourage everyone to go there members included. So if you have time would you and each member of the family make an account on it. That would be awesome. I am making one next week as a missionary.
      Well w had 4 people in the church this week but they werent the people we were expecting to come. 2 of them were new people and the other two are people that arent sure yet if the want to get baptized or not. The other one we were really hoping for had some problems because she is taking tests for this whole week in her school. So we cant even go and visit her this week because she is going to be at school almost all day everyday. Today I bought a cool Nike watch that is touchscreen... hahaha It was only $20. But it is really cool, I havent worn a watch since middle school ... But I think I am starting to like them again.
     Well I am doing good, I am still healthy and weigh about 147 lbs. hahahaha Well I think that is about all I have for you. Thanks for everything. Also, I did get my birthday package. Thanks it was awesome. :) Love you guys.!!!!!
Love Buddy/Elder Evans
