Hey Dad Thanks again for the letter!
Things have been going great! The members from both wards have been a huge help. We have 2 great ward mission leaders that help us out in both wards. Luckily we got rid of all the bed bugs. I didnt have any in my bed in the appartment, but the other elders did.
I live in a great 2 bedroom appartment with spanish elders again. I have really been starting to pick up on some spanish.
I am having so much fun on my misson! Where ever i have been going i have been making friends like crazy! i get along well with every elder. My appartment consists of Elder Moore, Elder Powell, and Elder Majia. We have some great experiences together.
So far i have been doing quite a bit of tracting on my mission, and i have been getting fairly good at it. We have slowly been finding people to teach. We have only a small amount of investigators, but we have been finding people to hopefully try to teach while tracting. So far i have been doing alot of less active work as well.
Recently we got a media refferal via a text message on our phone. A lady ordered a Book of Mormon from www.mormon.org I dont know if you have recently been to this website, but it is a great tool for missionary work. Technology has really been making an impact on missionary work. In December we should be able to text our investigators, and maybe sometime in my mission i could be on Facebook doing missionary work. If that happens i have to add every missionary from the mission on my account so everyone knows what other elders are saying. My testimony has really been strenghthened tremondously.
Elder Moore is great. This is actually his first time on bike. He has been out for 11 months, and this is his first car area.
Wow the Ward sure did change quite a bit, i sure am glad the ward is still asking about me on my mission. well i guess i can let you know an idea of what would be good for Christmas.
I think a GPS would be nice. Like a garmin Nuvi or something have mic help choose. so far i havent needed one, because i have been on bike, but it will come in handy for sure in the future. other than a gps. i could always use some more slim fit white shirts 16inch neck with some ties, and a nice tooth brush. other than that i would love some healthy food. more protien, and all that jazz. some healthy drink mix to add in some of my smothies would be nice. Weights are an option as well. they sell dumbell bars at wal mart that you can add weight on. ireally like those. some of the old gray weights in the garrage might fit on them. cds are good too with a big cd case.
Well the weather has been getting cooler!! :) it rained for a couple days this week. it was awesome. if you could send me my wolf blanket in my next package that would be great!:)
Well im going to try, and email the rest of the fam a bit too. send them my love ttyl.

Hello son its always good to hear from you and know you are doing fine. I have been thinking alot about ya lately hopeing that your having good sucsess in your new area, I know it is a bit tough starting in a area that neather you or your companion has been there. In some ways it is probably a great oppurtunity to build your new area. Anyway how have things been going? Are you receiveing help from members to find investigators? How has the weather been there this week wet also? It has been rainey most every day this week. Did you get rid of all the bed bugs? So is it just you and Elder Moore in an apartment, and is it a decent one? Is Elder Moore been on a bike before? The other thing I was thinking too, ya need to think about what you would like come christmas so I can be looking for it and get it to ya on time, I know things will get real busy with Keira's wedding and all so I am trying to get a head start. Things here have been prity much norm this week, Keira and Matt came down this weekend and took pictures for there invatations. A F lost to Alta but it was a close game they just stuggle to score when they have the chance. BYU did win this week against San Diego. Mic has been a bit under the weather with a cold but is getting better. Red still working hard Her last check was over 400 so she has been getting quit a few hours. I have been staying busy but been missing riding with all the rain. Saturday I put plastic tarp covers over the dog runs so with the rain and snow they will stay dry. Buster still hanging in there but he's not as stong as he used to be, but he is still happy and loves attention. I picked a couple boxes of apples from Jeane's trees saturday and a few peache's also, there good as usual.
Well I guess I will wrap up, by the way they called Russ Davis to be the new young mens president. I talked with Austin today said you were planning on sending him a letter. Things in the ward are good the Jeppsons get home off there mission this weekend. Eveybody ask's how you doing, I think Bro. Myrick never miss a week in asking how your doing but many others ask also. Well I am glad to hear you were able to listen to all of conference, it's so uplifting and great to hear the Prophet and Apostles speek it seems to give me more determination to do better. Well I hope you have had a great week, I have been praying the Lord will bless your efforts, and that you and your companion might have the Spirt with you to inspire, guide, and lead you in His great work. Love them, Love them and teach them with the power of the spirt and it will hard for them to resist following and doing what you ask them to do. Two of your greatest attributes love and a great spirt about you, let everyone you meet see your happiness and love. I pray and pray that you may find great joy in the Lords work, and that through the spirt you will find those seaching for the gospel. Have a great week, I know you are committed fully and are doing all within your power to sucseed, stay strong never wavier, God is with you.
LOVE POPS
