Last P-day!

Well this is the last letter you are going to get from your son as a missionary (hopefully that brought some tears to your eyes because it did to mine). And it is going to be short... hahaha and I dont have a crazy story like you that I just cut my finger off. I am excited to see your finger tomorrow?  Well I am excited to be able to talk with you guys tomorrow. 

Question... Kenna mentioned something about a girl that is staying at the house? Is she going to be there when we talk. Who is she? how did you meet her? Sorry for the questions (I didnt really understand Kennas Spanish.... hahahahahaha sorry)  Well hope everything is doing good. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I dont know what else to say because I will see you tomorrow. So You have one day to finish your homework. Love you guys 

Talk to you tomorrow. SEE YA ;)

2 Weeks & Counting...

So this is probably going to be a short e-mail too. We really haven't found anyone new to work with this whole time that I have been here. You are right, it is super hard to leave someone ready to be baptized and then get to another area where there is pretty much nothing...

About the phone call home, I can use Skype and I am going to do it on Christmas the 25th... We are going to have to use mine for both of the calls. He is going to call his family at 5:00 and then I will call you when he is done. Like 6:15-6:45. Unless you guys can't and if you cant just tell me next week so we can hurry and set everything good. The mission Christmas party was o.k. It was different from last year but it was still good. :) I had fun. They call Santa, Santa here... hahaha

The area I am in is really big and has a lot of potential to be really good. But with the companion I have and not being able to knock on doors and all these little changes, it is taking more time than it should to flourish... But I am now just trying to focus on starting it up good for the next Elders that are going to be here. I don't know what I like more... Being in the city or far away from everything; they both have their perks.

As for the going home, I have no idea what is going to happen. I assume I am going to stay in my area until Sunday night. I hope so at least. I don't think that we are going to go to the temple either. I don't know if I ever told you guys, but for this last change, I am District Leader. Nothing too big and it is a lot different than I thought it would be. 

Well I don't know what else to write. You have a week left to do your homework. Talk to ya next week hahahaha Love you guys.!

Your favorite son ;) hehehehe

I wanna see Tally!

 YOU GOT TO SEE TALLY!!! THAT IS CRAZY AWESOME!!! hahaha The pictures are awesome. I am super jealous of you hahahaha That is soo cool, He looks good, hahaha I like his suspenders... hahahaha That is cool that he is doing so good. Did he have an accent when he talked? What did his companion think about the visit? He looks like he is enjoying himself up there in New York.

     I am doing good, things have gotten slightly better, I think my companion is getting tired of me trying to tell him to stop doing some of the things that he does. But it has gotten better. So this last week we got to go to a sealing of a family in the ward, it was really cool but not what I was expecting at all... It was a lot shorter than I was expecting. hahaha But it was still really good. That is good that Jenni is doing good with the baby, they looked awesome. I am excited to get home to be able to see her, (the baby, not Jenny... hahahaha).

     They have not told us anything about the Christmas phonecall yet. But as soon as I know you will know, dont worry. We are going to have our ward Christmas party not this Thursday but in two weeks. I am excited for it. But they kinda do it weird where every family brings their own food and the ward really doesnt do anything. For New Years I would like to see as many people as possible hahaha Family and what friends I have left that arent on their missions... Riley is actually the only one I can think of that I really want to see. Tell him he needs to come at least say hi to me but doesnt have to stay. He can leave and go to his parties... hahahaha oh, and all the friends from the ward. And if it is possible I would like some Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup... :) with bread bowls :) hehehe.

     I am making a list of things to tell you this phone call to set everything good for when I get home and what I want to do and stuff like that... Cause I know you will be asking, so I will try to be prepared. hahahaha Just make sure to bring a couple blankets so I dont freeze... Hahaha I am really dreading the cold... 

     Well Talk to ya in 2 weeks and see ya in 3 ;) hahaha Have a good week everyone!!!!

Frustrated!

   Hey guys, how ya doing? I am o.k... not too happy with everything that has been happening this last week here. I cant believe I got transferred too, I was actually kinda mad about it... hahaha and no my companion didnt get transferred. My new companion and the work stinks right now. My companion is so DEAD it is not even funny. It is ridiculous. This is not how I wanted to end my mission... They didnt baptize last transfer and they have absolutely no one here to work with. We have a couple of kids and one youth but they have been investigators for a while now, they are called eternal investigators and the majority of them usually dont get baptized. 

     My companions attitude is absolutely horrible. I dont think that he can say anything good about anyone that is not his friend in the mission or in the ward. He always talks about things he shouldnt and he is way to preocupied about things that dont concern the mission. He also doesnt stop talking about how bad he wants to get home and out of the mission. I am super frustrated right now. Because I dont know the area to take over and I cant contact people in the streets so I dont know what else to do. I think I am just going to punch him to bring him to his senses and start working. Actually, what I have heard is that he has been like this pretty much his whole mission. He has had like 18 companions and like 10 areas. That is way not normal and it is because no one wants him. At least the other kinda bad companions kinda worked and wanted to do it. He just complains about everything and doesnt want to do more than eat, play soccer, and thats about it....

     Sounds like all the Christmas stuff went up good... The week before I left Carmen (my last area) We helped an awesome family set up their Christmas tree and Christmas stuff. That family was awesome and I miss them a lot. It was really fun though. I am super excited to see all these changes that have happened to the house... hahaha 

     Lucky! hahaha I really liked New York, it was really fun. We did some awesome stuff out there hahaha Well remember to do your homework. I am trying super hard not to die too, but it is really hard... I am going to try to change a lot of things with him so that the work can change and get better but I dont think he is going to like it or even want to do it. So I guess we will see how that goes. 

     Well hope your week in NY goes well and the girls do good in their schooling and stuff. When are their breaks this year? Have a good week, do your homework, and talk to ya next week :)
