December 28, 2009

That was awesome getting to talk to you guys! You all seemed really happy so it made my day! You told me about the necklace on the phone and that Marley tried to eat it... so you didn't really cry too much LOL :)

Janel told me all about her new guy she started to like a little... but she didn't want to get into a relationship before the singles cruise.

Even if Donna and Brian move, Marley and Jenna wont really be that far away so they can still play and all that stuff... especially when their favorite uncle gets home and then they will have another person to play with. Our family is really close so i don't think they will have a problem being friends.

Ruben and Monica ( the ones who just got baptized) game me an ornament... so i will be sending it home soon. It was funny cause Monica kinda jumped at me and gave me a hug... it was kinda nice... first hug of the mission. And i thought about it... and it doesn't say that we cant hug in the white hand book... it just says we aren't supposed to flirt... so i think it was safe. They are just really good people!

Elder Law knows my area really good... he was in it for about 8 months before i got there... so its kinda nice... cause Blaine never really got to know the area because I knew it already. He is a really good guy. He played football for Boise State before he came on his mission... and he is going to go to BYU after. He is just a good Idaho LDS guy. Sings a lot though... not that good of a singer. But he is loud. LOL

Yea I am for sure obeying the rules... they aren't hard rules to follow. It is really just the following the commandments... and then a couple others that just keep us safe so its not that hard to keep the rules.

I love you guys!

November 30, 2009

My thanksgiving was pretty sweet. We went to this persons house who had 13 non members there and then 4 missionaries... that was pretty sweet... they were way fun people! We just hung out really with the teenage guys... they were fun to be with I would hang out with them if they lived by me. At the house the family rented a bounce house and the missionaries were able to go in there and wrestle... that was so much fun! Everyone picked on me though; think it was cause I was the only one who wouldn't take it serious. Everyone else would have turned it into a real fight. It was fun though; good food too. Then we went to another families dinner and that was good food too, but they never had enough to drink so I went home and drank a lot of water. Good time though. We had normal turkey... well the first family had theirs smoked... that was really good too though... normal food.

I love the rockets! They just don't last very long sometimes, except for grandpa has had his for a long time. I still remember when your rocket went up and spun in circles and almost took off some heads.

That is fun that you guys went shopping and did breakfast and stuff. We had to run to Walmart here in Brawley that morning cause we were out of milk. There was hardly anyone there; it isn't as busy here where nobody has money. That was fun to put up the tree and get the decorations out when you guys went out to go shopping. I just put on some awesome music and put up the tree and play with the Lego train. That is a good time of the year.

I was able to watch some of the BYU game the other day. I actually saw them win cause it was on when we were at at the mission leaders house for dinner and we just were watching it. He told us he wasn't going to turn it off and its hard not to watch it when they are just sitting right there.

I broke my credit card the other day, the mission one. I went to buy something and realized it was cracked where the magnet strip is. I am not sure how it happened but i will have to use some of my other money until they send me the new card. So, just make sure there is some money on there for me. Ii will have to get some food today, thank you.

We baptized most of the people we were teaching. Finding new people is always the hardest part cause once we start teaching them they know how much they need the gospel. But, finding people is always the challenge. We went to talk to this kid the other day who said that he wants to talk to missionaries. He turned 18 so now his dad can't say no. But he was smoking weed; lots of it. I found something out; Marijuana triggers migraine headaches... lol good to know.

Its been a good week here. I didn't get transferred again, so I am still in Brawley... and I am still with Blaine. Elder Gunnell got a new companion and he is fun. He is from Bountiful and worked right by where Brian lives. Pretty cool.

I love you. Have a good week.
