A long long time ago...Well one year.

Hey Y'all!

    Well what a week its been, We are going to set a baptismal date tonight with some overage kids which is really cool!  This week has gone by super fast, well to be honest this year has gone by super fast.  There have been some slow days and some days that i wonder where they went.  All in all i am relatively happy with my first year as a missionary the sad thing is that i hear the second one goes by even faster.  So this week we went on an exchange and i went to a different area and i ate dinner with Steve Danielson's sister!!  Dad do remember Steve?  His sister told me that he worked At BYU-Idaho and that he opened up a pineapple Grill in rexburg so i knew who he was it was really weird.  It just goes to show ya how small the world really is!  I have come to a conclusion that the world is even smaller if your a Mormon cause its almost guaranteed that you know somebody whose knows the same person, Its really weird.  

Well more about my new area, umm its in the Hurst stake in Texas and we have almost the smallest area in the mission, its kinda ghetto but not really like there are poor people but not like killeen or fort worth.  Elder Rindlisbacher is from Fresno and he actually went to school up in Idaho in 2007or 08 and he stayed there for one fall term.  He is older than me in real life but he has been out on his mission for 3months less than me.  He is a really funny guy he reminds me a lot of pord, Not in stature but in personality.  So this is gonna be a great 6 weeks cause he has been here for 2 transfers already so i think that he will be gone after this one.  Thats just my thoughts so dont quote me on it.  

Anyways Mike umm well i have been in 5 areas and 4 zones and have had 9 companions.  Its a lot of companions/areas/ Zones!  Well Estes sounds like a ballin place man, And being a Spaniard would be awesome i am jealous of you/ and i cant wait for your letter i have a letter but no stamps/ money to buy stamps so you will get a letter next week as well!  Misty thanks for the letter and i bet your glad to be two kids lighter for about half the day for the next 9 and a half months roughly.  I'm glad Jayce reminds you of me that means that i was good lookin at a young age as well as now, haha.  Love ya misty!  Dad hey dad thanks for the e-mail and all the updates and stuff i'm jealous of the tandem riding cause you guys get to help each other pedal i have to do it all by my lonesome.  Your texan sounds really good dad haha you could pull it off, maybe we'll see.  I have a favor to ask of you; Will you put some more money in my account sorry i am trying to spend less i really am and i think i am spending less.  Anyways thanks dad.  Mom,  it is weird that i have been gone for that long it feels like such a short time ago.  I still remember Olive Garden and how fast the drop off was.  I'm glad i'm here tho i'm also glad that my friends are doing great how about pord do you hear much from him from anyone??  I havent gotten my package yet i might get it today.  thanks mom so much.  Jax hey i couldnt see whatever it was that you sent me sorry i tried but it wouldnt come up.  Jen I told ya that Killeen was the best place ever ha.  I probably talked to that guy while he was down there we saw them all over the place down there.  I bet mom and Dad would never tell ya to go away, no matter how distoyed there house gets ha.  Well y'all i love you guys so much thanks for all that you do!!

Te Amo Mucho!!

August 12

Hola Y'all!

   Well this week has been adventurous, kind of anyways.  So the thing that sticks out in my mind mostly this week is bike problems.  Monday, We were at Walmart buying some spare tubes and when we walk out to leave Elder Wallis notices that he has a flat tire so we have to fix it right there at Wal-Mart and we don't have a pump so we have to ask to use one of there pumps.  Tuesday, we riding along and about a 5 miles from home i get a flat tire, luckily there were some members who lived only lie .5 miles away so we walker or bikes over there and they gave us a ride home so i could patch my tire.  So at home i patch my tire but as i'm pumping it up something happens and it Explodes like seriously blows like a 5inch hole in my brand new tube.  So i had to put another tube on there.  Wednesday,  We had a good morning but after luch we just start riding and elder wallis' bike gear shattered so the only gear that worked on it was 6. The bad thing about this is his bike is like brand new so we had to take it back to Super target and the we went to Wal-mart again and bought a new bike. it was crazy!  Today is running smooth tho were doing good.  So that has been my week so far.  

Also i find out if i get transfered or not this Saturday so Dad just hold back on the Emv till next thursday when you find out where i'm going.  Bart is going to be baptized next Saturday tho so ooi am happy seeing the fruits of your labor is nice.  Well anyways on to y'all  Dillon man thanks so much for the e-mail it didnt say much but still appreiciated.  How Chris doin?? Do y'all talk a lot or not too much?  How about Colt do you ever see him?  just a couple of questions that you can answer next week.  Mike,  Man thats Funny/Gross people are so weird.  I havent quite hit it yet man i got about 2 weeks till i hit it its on the 26th.  Its crazy how fast time has gone by, you'll be here soon enough man.  Thats way awesome i've never done that, praying at a Community Gathering thats cool.  Maybe you should learn some Japanese next so you can talk to the Japanese kids.  Haha well man i'm excited for your letter.  Pord thanks for the short little leter man did youget my cool card that i sent you yet?? Its awesome just so ya know.  Brooke, well sorry you havent gotten a letter and all those questions have been answered twice you just need to go and ask the people living there if they have any mail for you cause they are dang good letters but anyways my address is:(1331 airport Fwy #305 Euless TX, 76040)  So why are you moving so much??  Where did you get a job?  Also I Love you!!

Dad, Yes it is scorching down here haha. The work is going slow but going!  Its good to hear that the little ones help you pick/eat those raspberries.  Its too hot here for anything to grow right now and ist starting to get a little brown in Texas.  I'm jealous of all the fun oyour having w/ you grandkids haha keep enjoying it.  the projector ahould be fun.  well like i said up there you can holdoff the Emv foe another week well love ya dad.  Jen,  awesome i'm glad you got that letter i was worried that you didnt get it.  Tell walker hi and that i love him haha.  Mom, It is weird but i still have a year left to make a difference right? Tell sean and Chris i say hi and tell sean to write me back!  Ha love you mom.  Jill hey Sis well i'm glad i can put a smile on your face from a 1000 miles away!  I'll answer that question in a letter.  Transfer calls are this week.  I like the outline a lot especially the part about maesurable/ tracable goal cause this ward has a missionary plan and its not tracable so its kinda pointless.  i think that is looks really good personally i just skimmed it but i like it.  Anywasy you should totally try and see me when you fly to fort worht that would be so awesome!!!! Ha well i will keep jeremy and you in my prayers okay? Alright well thanks again for the letters you guys all rock (except those of you who didn't write me)

I didn't Crash!

Hello everybody!

   Well August is here already! Where did July go?  All well keep on keepin on, right?  Well as the title reads ia am safe this week so far and didnt crash on my bike! Yeah  i'm happy about that!  Also this week was President Sagers first Zone Conference, and it was really good.  We talked about the Atonement pretty much the whole time, so it was awesome.  He is really smart and knows a lot about stuff.  We also watched something called the District 2.  It was about some missionaries in San Diego, and John Hepworth was on it and it was so trippy i didnt know what to think.  I guess that they were trained or something in a specific way and they are gonna start teaching us off that.  It was really cool.  Also at this Zone Conference we got new phones and they are pretty cool actually they aren't really that cool but really cool for a missionary.  So the ZC was a success and i liked iot a lot.  

On a different note not so spirtitual, last week we had a really cool P-Day activity, we fenced!  I know what your thinking but it was way fun and we had a tourney and i Won!  Which was even cooler.  I'm probably going to take it in College.  Its a lot of Defensive Slides so it felt really natural.  That was way fun.  Also Dad i was just wondering if i could get some more Emv  before Transfers which happen in about 2 weeks. So if possible thanks.  Back to being spiritual we had two really good lessons this week with new gators and they both will be at church this week!  Their names are Harold and Lorelei.  They really are great people and they both love the Missionaries!  So this might be premature but i think that they will get Baptized before October. anyways that was my week and i'm sure there is more but i cant think of any so on to you guys.  

Elder Dayley man thanks for the E-mail your so consistant i love it i know i will always get a letter from you buit my Add is 1331 airport fwy # 305 Euless TX 76040  So i will write you today and you can write me monday sound good?  That Verse is funny man the Bible is so weird i cant understand it half the time.  Thats why i love the BOM & you!  haha peace out mike. amor buddy! Misty hey, thanks for the E-mail 2 in a row way to go!  I bet gracies violin was awesome haha thats so funny but i hope that she sticks with it cause it is an awesome talent.  I hope that you get to sleep in cause you need it you sound exhausted...
