Hola amigos y Familia       I hope yall had a very merry Christmas and were able to see family or just enjoy a great day. I want to say another huge thank you to everyone who sent me something, you're the best! But as for my Christmas, well we will get to that later. Anyways this week had its up's and it's downs for sure. We started off a little rough cuz my tire was still popped (i changed it dont worry) and it was also extremely cold. We hit a cold front and it was terrible, I don't remember Idaho even feeling that cold. Plus the wind made it 3x worse. Gotta love biking in the cold. But this week was chill because we didn't really work much as it's the holidays and it was freezing.       If you know me pretty well you would know that I'm pretty blunt and like to keep things real and straight. With that being said this week and the past few weeks actually, I've been struggling here and there. I wish I could say that getting myself buried in the w...

Merry Christmas yall!!!        I feel like I just wrote yall yesterday. The time is going by so fast I don't even know what the days are anymore. It's crazy to think I passed my 4 month mark, college didn't even go this fast. Everyone says the first 6 months are super slow and it gets super fast after that, and if that's the case I'll be home next week hahaha. But anyways I hope all of you have a merry Christmas and you're able to feel the love of our savior and his spirit during this wonderful time of year! I was going to write Christmas cards to everyone but realized I have no cards and no money for cards and I also don't know how to address the cards so they go to the right place,  but good thing they never taught that in school. This week has been a hard but productive week. I'm grateful that I have this opportunity to push myself and grow, it's been nice to feel the changes in myself.        Just yesterday after church we knock...

Yo what up?!       First of all, for all of those people who sent me a letter or Christmas gift thank you so much!! I'll have to somehow send a card back. I've also been having a lot of people ask what I want or need for Christmas and I'll post that later. But this week was pretty interesting. I've been sick for 3 days this week so we only worked for 4 days, but man did we work hard. But being that I was sick not much happened.        Me and elder Dunn were trying to sleep and rest so we could feel better one day, and just as we were done with chores and getting settled in, our ceiling starts leaking. I mean this thing was straight up pouring out water like Niagara falls. We had to end up fixing our AC unit and repair some other stuff, but elder Dunn and I, are not meant to be together apparently because we keep having weird things happen to us and he probably thinks I'm insane or bad luck lol. But he's been a good comp so far so thats been good!...

Yo howdy yall!       This week was unusual to say the least. I got my new comp elder Dunn. He's a pretty cool guy and we're getting along well so thats always a good thing. He's been out for about 6 months now. Poor kid had a weird first week and I'm not just talking about because he had to be with me lol.       Our first night we went to bed early at around 9:30 because we were up at 5am that morning for transfers so we were so tired, and I was homeless the last 2 nights before that. I usually lock my front door and shut all the doors in the apartment and turn off every light before bed. Well that night because we were exhausted I forgot to lock our door for the first time ever. An hour after falling asleep I wake up at like 10:30 and I have this overwhelming feeling that someone was watching me. I rolled out of bed and noticed our bedroom door was cracked open. Then me and elder Dunn heard footsteps on the stairs. I ran out and saw all the doors...
