Hey!

      I loved the vids you sent Heidi, and Kyle. Ashton is a super funny guy. I like how good he is at talking with his arms. I think it really helps get the message across. I am going to try to do my arms like his when I am teaching our investigators. I CAN"T BELIEVE how big Oli is. She’s not a baby any more. And I am finally a big boy. ;). And Kevin...well he is an old man. And Mom and Dad......ehem

     This week has been awesome. You know the ten investigators that came to church last Sunday. Well...none of them came this Sunday. Yeah we were pretty depressed. Not even the Enriquez family came. Me and Adams were thinking it was because Elder Booth is no longer here.

     Yeah Elder Booth has now hit the dust. He is home. We woke up at 3:30 in the morning to take him to the airport. Ridiculously early ya know, but it was nice to see everyone go home. I am not going to lie but I felt pretty trunky while I was carrying his bags up to the check in. We took a few photos and they all left. (I attached one photo).

      All the trunkiness is out of me now though. Me and Adams are super excited to get working. He has to train in a few leadership trainings this week, so it will probably just be me going out to work.

     Yesterday President Pagadaun joined us for our companionship study and worked with us for half the day. I was pretty nervous at first. But I quickly discovered how sweet our President is. He Really Just rocks. He sports the short sleeves when he goes out with us and is way powerful. We got to go to the Enriquez with him. But it was kind of a bummer because Ezekial wasn't there.  We were bummed but we had a good lesson with the wife and her two kids. I guess they didn't come to church because one of their kids were sick and some other reasons.  She was so glad that she let us in because for the first time in his life he has stared to change his life, pray, and read the scriptures. In that lesson we told her how much we know that the Book of Mormon will change their family and that the peace that they need they could find as they continued. Keep ya updated.

      Man the mission is awesome. It has been so great being able to communicate to these people. They’re so amazing. There is so much to learn. Ahh I just want to learn it all. But we are not allowed to. We have to learn the lessons we need to learn through the way Heavenly Father wants us to learn them.

     Well things are doing good. I love you all, and appreciate all the emails. Talk to you next week.

Mom, 

My electric shaver is Great!  I love it. I am saving money like crazy and look as Guapo as ever.  And the insoles are great on my feet too and the rest of the package was awesome also. I will get a check up on my eyes pretty soon and I will see how much contacts will cost

Love you,  Happy Thanksgiving!
