HI MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great email and for the package that you sent, like you said, I wont get it until Wednesday!!!!!!!!!! President Durrant called me after he spoke on the phone with you and he said that he had a great phone call with you!!!!! What did you guys talk about?!?!?! I know that you really want to see me but right now Im set apart as a full time missionary and I need to be obedient to the rules and guidelines that I have been given!!!!!! President Durrant told me that he ride the part in the white handbook to you about how we cant see family for thosen two years because it will distract us. The white handbook is our missionary rule book. Id love to send one home to you so you can read it and get more of an idea of what a missionary is. I know that if i see you its only going to make it harder for the both of us!!!!!!! Itll distract me from the missionary work and itll make you miss me even more!!!! I do get to talk on the phone with you in two months which is good!!!!!!! I know that you guys will love texas and you can just think of me while you are here, but i dont think that a visit will be a good idea!!!! I love you a lot and it sounds like you guys are doing great!!!!!! I miss all of you and tell everyone that i say hi!!!!!!!! Is caileigh and stephen still wrtiting?!?!?!? You should go to church with mrs money or have her and the missionaries over for dinner or something, itll probably make it a little easier!!!!!
For the blog:
Well this week was another great first week of the transfer!!!!!!!! Since there was no changes im still in the samer area and with my same companion!!!!!!!!!!! I got to go on a two day exchange this week with Elder Treasure and he came over to my area!!!!!!! He is such a great missionary and we both love talking to people so its really fun to go tracting and contacting people with him!!!!!!! We got to meet a lot of great people that day and we got to talk to a lot of people about the church!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday we had a great lesson with a boy named William!!!!! He is nine years old and he wants to get baptized and he already has the greatest testimony ever and he LOVES the church so much!!!!!!!! The only problem is that his family is less active so we need to get them to come to church also!!!!!!!!! Then that night we had dinner with the roberts family!!!!!!!!!!! I love them so much!!!!!!! They are so awesome and two of the boys in the family are already such great missionaries and examples to their friends at school!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we had a great lesson with John!!!!!!!!! He is doing so great and his testimony is growing so much and he is progressing so much!!!!!!!!!! I love how the spirit can change peoples lives and how it can make them have that desire to make their lives better by learning about Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!! Since we have been bike missionaries lately since the mission cut back a lot on our miles, we have been riding our bikes a lot which i LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we are on bikes we get to be seen by everyone!!!!!!!!!! Well on friday we got to our bikes after we were done tracting and we realized that all of our tires were FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so we had to go and get new tires later that night!!!!!!!! Luckily a member lived close by so we could get a ride to the church where our car was parked!!!!!!!!!!! But while we were tracting we met this 17 year old named Zack and he seemed really interested in learning more about the church!!!!!!!! I really do see him becoming a member and we are going to go visit with him later this week!!!!!!!! We talked a lot about his desires and how happy his life is and i know that the gospel can bless his life so much!!!!!!!! Then that night we had a lesson with Kendle and it went so great!!!!!!!!! She is doing so well and she is getting baptized on October 29th!!!!!!!! Her mom is the best!!!!!! Her mom was baptized in January and she has such a great spirit about her!!!!!!! She loves the gospel and she loves the church so much!!!!!!!!!!! I love being a missionary so much and I love talking to everyone about the church and sharing the gospel with everyone!!!!!!!!!!! I hope all of you are doing great and loving being at school or wherever you are!!!!!!!!! All of you have an awesome week and remember that Heavenly Father LOVES you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
