January 18th - MY LAST EMAIL AS A MISSIONARY...

This is my last email as a missionary.... I am overwhelmed with emotion right now.  We had Y's baptism and it was the perfect ending to my mission.  Not to mention the interview with Pres. I had yesterday.  Everyone had an interview for like 20 minutes and I was there for an hour just talking and crying with him.  He thanked me for all the hard work I have done and for loving every single one of my difficult comps that he has given me. I cried like a baby.  I'm so grateful for every hard day ,every hard companion that I have had cuz they have taught me so much. I am forever in debt to my Heavenly Father for giving me such a good, but hard mission.  I can't describe with words about the love I have towards the Savior and towards every single person that I have taught. I cant wait to see you all, but it's been super hard for me to hold back the tears everyday.  The church is so true and I know that Jesus is our Savior.
I will see all of you on Wednesday at 4:30. I love you all so much.  Have fun getting ready and I don't care what you make for dinner, I am good with anything.

I got to go Momma,
Love you...BYE!!
See you all soon.

January 12th - I STILL HAVE A WEEK & I STILL HAVE LOTS TO DO!

So Y. passed her baptism interview and she is getting baptized this Saturday.  No better way to end the mission.  She asked me to baptize her.  I am so happy.  We are working super hard and I'm just trying to give it my all this last week. It hasn't really hit me that I'm going home yet. I hope it doesn't cuz then I wont work hard.  I know I still have a week left and I need to do lots still
We have some other investigators and stuff, but they don't want to come to church.  But we are working super hard and just trying to love them. Everything is going super good, lots of work to do.
And yeah, you can get me set up for school if you want in Feb?  Is that kinda soon...naaaa just kidding!  Whatever you think is best.  That would be cool to get me in all the same classes as Hunter, so we can go together.  I couldn't be more happy if I could speak at other wards and help out with the mission prep class.  That would be cool.
When are we going to come back to Mexico?  oh yeah I got my suit done today.... Hahaha! its sick, its shiny Hahaha!!
I got to go Momma, make sure you keep me in your prayers.   Pray big time for Y. so she can get baptized.  I couldn't send any pics but I will have a ton when I get home, don't worry.

I will talk to you again this next Monday for the last time...

 

Love you tons Momma.

peace out!

Jan. 5th - I AM A FETCHIN BABY!!

Tell brother Bisk that I would love to go to the wards and talk, nothing makes me more happy in life than sharing my testimony with people, honestly!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share my testimony for the last time as a missionary in sacrament.  I cried like a baby. I didn't even cry at my farewell...Hahaha! But yesterday I would have felt so ungrateful if I wouldn't have bore my testimony.  I cried so hard in front of this little ward and everyone was crying. I am getting really sad lately knowing that everything is coming to an end. I don't know what's up with me.  I just feel like crying lately all the time.  I have never cried this much in my whole life....like sometimes I just want to cry.  I am a fetchin baby! 

Hey! I am getting a new suit so put some money in my account. This morning I went to Acoxpan and a little lady who makes suits is making me a way sick one.  It's probably gonna cost like 100 bones though, so hook me up!  The suit is gonna be gray but it's gonna be shiny!!  Weeee, yeah buddy!! But put some money in my account cuz I am buying that suit.  It's custom fit for me and it's ballin!  I am gonna look real good!!

K, so keep praying big time for Y. because she is getting close to her baptism and she needs to make some last minute changes.  This last week was awesome. I really am feeling like an instrument in the Lords hands lately and nothing makes me more happy.  This was a good last week,  nothing too special just trying to work as hard as I can.  I love the mission.

I can't send any pics sorry, next week I will.

 

I got to go Momma. I love you tons and make sure you keep Y. in your prayers.  I love you all so much. Bye.

Dec. 29th - THE ATONEMENT CAN DO MIRACLES!

So I don't have tons of time and I am probably not gonna be able to write back and forth with you today Momma.  But just know that I am all good, just loving the work and loving everyone in contact with me.  I love Y., she is so awesome.  She has made so many sacrifices and she is progressing so much.  She has a bad attitude but she is changing sooooo much it just shows that the Atonement can do miracles in the lives of others.
I'm not trying to think to much on coming home because every time I do I just get sad... im gonna cry ALOT, but whatever! 
I loved the pics.  We had a good time on Christmas.  We went to Burger King and I ate real well. We went caroling and I didnt even want to carol, I just wanted to contact peeps.  So when everyone was singing I was just giving out cards and trying to talk with everyone. It was sweet.
I think that's about it. Love you all tons and please, please continue to pray for Y. so that she can continue to change and accept change.

Love you all!


Yeah, that picture got cut off...sorry!
The computer sucks!

Dec. 22 - THIS WEEK WAS SUPER SICK!!

Ok Momma, so this week was super sick!  We are actually doing way better than I thought.  We found 5 new investigators this week and we put a baptism date for the last week in the mission for me!  Her name is Y. and she honestly is the reason God put me here in my last change.  She flat out told us that she listens to us cuz she feels the spirit when I talk.  That made me feel real good.  She is so awesome and she wants to get baptized the last week I am here.  She is awesome!  Pray for her big time cuz she has a really bad attitude but wants to change.
Hey! so am I gonna speak that fast Sunday or at ward conference?  Is that super bowl Sunday?  Let me know.
(Your homecoming is February 1st, which is fast Sunday and the Super bowl.  That won't change.  Sorry, but cross your fingers that the Packers will be playing!!)



That's the Christmas card we are sending to the whole
mission...HAHAHA!!  I am gonna send one home and to
some people in Utah, but I bet I beat it back
before anyone gets them!

Dec. 14th - FERRERI'S, BEEMERS AND MERCEDES!!

Ok  Momma, so here is the deal...I literally only have like 50 minutes more to write.  Everything is super good.  I am in Narvarte. It's a ward in the same stake that I was in Escuadron, so I am not too far.  My comp is a boss and his name is Elder H and he is from Idaho.  He is super tall and quiet but a nice kid.  The cool thing is that we are living with 2 other elders in the same house and its a ton of fun!  We are having a blast!  We are with Elder R and Elder B.  Elder R is from Cali and was trained by Elder Y.  He's the district leader.  I am not district leader anymore, just senior comp...hahaha!  It's sick!  Not lots of stress, just six weeks of just focusing on our investigators, pretty cool!  The apartment is cool but kinda dirty, we have to clean a ton today.  I am not in Elder W or Elder M zone. Elder M is in Acoxpan, hahaha...that was my ward. Elder W is in the mountians way far away.
The ward is hard.  We are in the richest area in the mission.... the richest!  It's crazy, we see Ferrari's, Beemer's and Mercedes all day.  The people are hard hearted here big time.  We had 10 lessons this week and walked everywhere.  But its all good, I know the Lord wants me in a hard area for my last change.  We also have some cool investigators that we just need to put a baptism date with.
Everything is good. I don't have tons of pics but I will especially tomorrow because we are going to play soccer at the zone conference. It's going to be ballin!!!  We are going to eat and hear Pres speak and then we have to present a sketch or something.  We are gonna do something super funny, like a skit or something.
I got your package and haven't even unpacked everything, but i will today.  It's just this week i didnt have that much time.  I will put everything up today, don't worry.  But I ate all the pop tarts, hahaha!! I took those down big time! Thanks a ton for the package, I love reading the letters everyday, I think that's better than the candy. I have read like 15 of them like Moody's, K.G'S, Fowers, Gee's, Grandma's and some hunnies from Tyson's homecoming.  Oh! the Grange's too.
Thanks so much for sending me that memory card.  I will take tons of pics this week, don't worry.  I'm not sure honestly if im gonna write a ton next Monday because our p-day is on Christmas next week so on Thursday.  I will let you know whats going on, don't worry I will write you guys and tell you what time for sure and everything, just send me my skype info so I can get it all set up jhere.

Love you tons,
I got to go Momma ...bye!!
