Monday: P-day till 5:30, Dinner, Teaching, plan, sleep.


Tuesday: Zone Huddle, Exchange with Elder Sudbury for the rest of the day and until 4pm then next day. (an Exchange is when you go to another missionaries area or they come to your area and you work with them for a day)


Wednesday Get home at 4pm and tract, Dinner, a member came out with each of us to teach. plan, sleep


Thursday: weekly planning until 12:30 then i went on another Exchange with Elder Lolesio till 2 pm the next day.


Friday: get home at 2 pm and go teach a lesson, then go eat dinner,  then go and teach back to back lessons to 2 different Baptismal dates,  Go out to Venus Texas and  teach an over age Child, get back plan, Sleep.


Saturday:  Have a BAPTISM at noon, then an interview for another date at 1:30, eat lunch, go tract, teach another lesson,  dinner with some members, Went and visited some LA's and had a grand ole time, Plan , Sleep


Sunday go to our first meeting block of church, then drive to Ft worth to hear Elder D. Todd Christopherson talk to the whole mission,  Get back eat dinner,  Go have FHE with a Baptismal date and her family.  

So as you can see a pretty busy week i had a good time this week we also had a guy who has been coming to church for 7 years come up and tell us he wants to get baptized this weekend.  its insane how the lord blesses you.  Elder Christopherson's talk was really good he told that we are here cause the lord put us here.  Also he took questions from us.  He is a really good speaker and he is and apostle so it was pretty cool.  The work here is moving forward and i love it here in Texas even tho i have been thrown around a little bit.  Well y'all are awesome keep being you!

Mansfield TX!!

Hi!!!
      Well this week was a good one.  I transferred all safe and sound and am liking my new place.  So in Mansfield i cover two wards and there is actually some work going on here!!!  Its awesome!  So we have two dates one for this Saturday with a girl named Paisley.  She is pretty cool and is excited to get baptized.  She is 17 and has a desire to have the gospel in her life.  The other Date is with a girl named Serenity.  Her mom is a LA and she is coming back to church and wants her 12 yr old daughter to get baptized so her date is for the 27th of November.  So its exciting to have work going on.  We have a few more potentials for baptism and there names are Mickey Buck and his brother Arthur,  a kid named Jaylen, i like Jaylen  he is a really cool black kid who has a lot of friends in the ward ,his mom is the only thing holding him back from the truth.  There are some more part member families and people who like the missionaries and this ward gives us referrals so we have a lot more potential here.  Nothing to exciting has happened this week tho as far as other stuff.  There are a lot of people here who went to BYU-I tho so they know about Rexburg which is pretty cool.  Well y'all thats all i have for this week so bye!

Transferred again!

Hey Y'all!

    Well this Transfer came and went already.  So on saturday i found out i was leaving again to another area with another companion.  My comps name is Elder Walgamont.  Elder Johnson served with him at the beginning of his mission and he is from Boise.  I am going to the Mansfield 1 and 2 wards.  My new address is:  2512 woodbridge tr.-  Mansfield Tx -76063.  This week wa an okay week we didnt have many exchanges so we didnt have a ton of lessons.  The daylight savings time switch was awesome tho i was really glad when i woke up at 7:30 on elder Johnson's alarm clock.  Because it was actually 6:30!!!   That hour of sleep was awesome.  Also we had stake Conference this week and it was a good one our Stake Pres is a convert and he has an awesome testimony and it was a really good conference.  Today we get to play some football with another Zone!  I'm really excited.  I havent played that much football out here.  I really miss the pads and just being able to throw your self at someone.  I really am gonna miss this place and all the people i have met here i will probably come back to this area after my mission sometime.  Well thats about all i gotta say this week.  Sorry its so short i'll tell ya all about my new place next week. 

Love all y'all
