2-7-11 To Mom:
Well hello there mother. Well transfers were Monday and I am Garland 5th Ward which is a Spanish Ward so I am excited to see what happens here. And yeah from what I have heard it is like heaven for finding hispanics haha Well that is cool that you are planning on getting a new car, and that you are going to get you grandma's stuff and now you might be able to help me out haha j/k. But it would be great and yeah if you could send my card as well cuz I am running out of room on the next one just to let you know. Well this week was great but at the same time not but we did a lot of work even though we had a lot of snow so it was fun. And that is crazy that Austin is going through the temple. Do you think that you would be able to get me his email? Well I got to get going soon but there is something on dad's email that I would like you to see as well, haha, at the end so I think you will like it but I love you.
To Dad:
Hey dad, well first off I did have a good week but it was very hard. We were snowed in all week practically so we just walked around our new area. I am in Garland 5th Ward and it is all Spanish so I am hoping that I can pick up the Spanish a lot better than I have been. Man that is crazy to think that Braden is home now but that is way cool. And yeah with all the snow and ice we have just been walking around the area a bit but we did do very good this week and we had a lot of exito (success) so it was nice. And this week we went on an exchange with the assistants and it was way spiritual for me. I guess I learned that I need to be more bold with people because the assistant that I was with - he was way bold and he had a very powerful testimony so I really enjoyed being with him for that time. And my finances are getting better but they could always be better but yeah it is a work in progress so I am working on that and I dont remember if I told you that my new companion is Elder Merkley and he is the disrict leader so it is fun. Well we just found out that we will be going out to teach with President this month so I am kinda excited to do that. Well that is about it for now but I am very greatful for you both again and I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you i love you I love you, one for every day haha so I can say I love you every day. Well got to go now. Have a great week.

I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED!!!!
1-31-11 To Mom & Dad:
Well I finally have gotten the call to be transfered for the first time haha and I will be getting doubled into a new area with a new comp and none of us will know anybody. I think this will be a great experience, but it will also be very tough so I am kinda nervous and excited and we just figured out that we are doing the transfers tonight because there is supposed to be ice tomorrow so we won't be able to change tomorrow so yeah I'm excited. And my new companion will be Elder Merkley and I have heard that he is awesome so I am looking forward to it. This last week was good. We had a few good lessons and I said bye to a few of the members last night and through the phone this morning so I am kinda excited to leave my greeny area and going to heaven, so I have heard from the other elders. Well I don't really have much more to say other than I love you so much padres. Espero que tengan un buena semana tambien. (I hope you have a good week also.)

Hello mother. First off it's good to know that you were able to go the temple this last week and that you were able to forgive your mother. I need to learn how to forgive others as well, but other than that this week was ok. We went to a training on Friday and I learned a lot and there were missionaries that gave talks and we stayed around and talked with some of the sister missionaries who left our area a bit ago. I was wondering if you did send anything yet cuz I am out of money for this month but I am doing better at managing my money but it doesn't help that the only thing we do for lunch is go out so it's not really helping in that part but if you have sent a little something it will help. Well other than the meeting with all the missionaries, this week was ok. We had some good lessons but we had a lot that punched on us but it was all good, I think. Well that was all about it for this week that was good, but I hope you all have a good week. Well love you have a great week
To Dad:
Yeah this hasn't been the best week either but when we went to North Dallas to the store Moons it's kinda like Deseret Book but it's called Moons I saw the saying I never said it would be easy but I said it would be worth it and since then I think I am getting better but I know that I still will have tough times ahead but I am going to try and look at those times as times to grow cuz I know that Satan is going to work harder on us when we are getting closer to God. But as for this week we had a training by our president and it was really good. We talked about how to involve the ward missionaries more and the ward missionaries and I thought it would be perfect for our ward cuz our ward is not really that great when it comes to helping the missionaries but I think it will get better, but other than that the week was ok but I think in the future it will get better. Well dad, I hope that you have a great week at work and home. LOVE YOU A BUNCH. Take care

Well hello mommy. I am glad that you had a good week - lots of good food (turkey dinner) :) trunky hahah j/k. Well this week was ok. Well mommy I honestly don't think that $140 a month is enough for me - anyways until I learn how to manage money good but yeah a little help goes a long way :) Well I am glad that you are going to start reading in Spanish now haha. It's fun and yes I am going to do my best to keep my end of the deal:) Well I really don't have anything else that went on this week that was different than last but we did have interviews with the president and they went very well and I learned a lot but I can't remember it right now haha but maybe later :) Well I got to get going now. Oh and something that I want you to tell Miles is that I love mustard hahahahaha. Yeah my comp made me try it a while back and I love it now like 5 weeks ago hahah. Well have a great day off and rest of the week in school. love you tons :):):) have fun
To Dad:
Well I am glad that you were able to go to church this week. It's really a blessing to go to church and take the sacrament but I think when I take it i could still be more focused on what I am actually doing, but I am trying to do better. Well this last week was ok, I thought, but I did feel (a little down) but I thought of the Savior and what he went through and thought that it was nothing compared to what he did, so I guess I'll stay here :) Well this week we had a lot of people at church and we had a few great lessons this week and went tracting a lot. We did find a few good people but by the end of yesterday I wanted to punch someone. I don't know why but I talked to my companion about it later and now I am all good. Well something that I learned from my president is to be diligent and I know that I have heard that for a long time now cuz I really stink at being diligent and I am going to try harder at that. Well I got to get going now dad but I hope you have a great week. Adios dad

1-10-11 To Mom:
I'm glad that you had fun in Idaho, and that you saw your daughter and Steven. I am glad that he is good to her. That is still so weird to know that Steven is in the obispado(bishopric) and that Shayanna is going to be a mom soon, and I will keep her in my prayers as well. Well this week was good - we had a lot of good lessons with our gators and we are seeing a lot of baptisms thus far and it is amazing to see the change in so many peoples' lives. I am so thankful for the gospel and I know that I could be doing a lot better but in Ether 12;27 it says that if men come unto me and be humble I will make their weak things become strong and I am so greatful for the scriptures and what they can teach us if we listen and study with real intent and I am greatful once again for the example of you and dad for me. Well I gots to gets goings now. I love you mommy. Have a great week.
To Dad:
Wow I'm sorry that work is in the way of the sacrament. I was thinking a couple days ago back when we were in Moses Lake and that I wish I would have gone to Hearthstone (assisted living center) a lot more cuz now I really love serving others and I love that they feel so loved when they see a new face there and I just wish I would have gone more. Well I can say that the best meal was the homemade pizza from Sister Blocker. She reminds me a lot like mom in the way she cooks and her pizza was really good. It makes me feel at home whenever I go there. Well I am still reading in Spanish but you are also reading pretty fast. I am trying to read at least ten chapters a day or more or at least that is how much I want to read anyways but you have the advantage over me I think haha. You know how to read faster and understand it better but I am learning a lot still. Well I hope you are all enjoying life, and I can't wait to see you all again and I know that is a while away or at least that is how I feel but it is also flying by at the same time. It's confusing haha. Well I got to go now. I love you dad
