Ho Ho Hello!        Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope your day was filled with love and joy. My day was amazing and I'm so grateful for the time that I had and all the people who shared their kind words and love! This week was a pretty good week! We met some pretty cool people, had lots of fun with other missionaries, and just had a good time! Our apartment is slowly coming together now, and deep cleaning everyday is exhausting, but so worth it. We also learned that tracting on Christmas eve probably isn't the best idea because no one wants to meet with you, and sending a huge text to over 1,000 people wishing them a merry Christmas is a nightmare. My phone dropped 30% in less than 5 minutes due to how many responses we got and how much texts my phone sent out.      I recently finished the book of mormon the other day and the ending is always so freaking good. Some might say the best. It got me thinking about pur spiritual gifts and just gifts in g...

What's up gang?       Okay, I'm impressed. Blown away even. I'm gonna keep it real with you guys, when I heard I was going to Hobbs I had my expectations pretty low, and I was sad to hear I'd be separated from the cities again, but boy did I get humbled. This area is really good and I'm really liking it already. I've been extremely busy these past 3 days and it's been so refreshing. My district here is awesome, and my companion is literally the same person as my little brother. The apartment we live in has been pretty neglected so we've been deep cleaning it, and apparently it's the notorious haunted hobbs apartments that I've heard many stories about, so that's exciting. (I'm actually excited about that cuz I get more ghost stories) but I'm really liking this area a lot, and the lord actually confirmed to me that this is where I need to be. I felt so at peace from an experince we had just after church...       So during church we got...

What's up cuties!?       Well you read it. I got my transfer news. I'm leaving Abilene and I'm headed to Hobbs New Mexico! My new companion is elder Nichols. I have no idea what to think or expect, and I've kind of become numb to change and to transfers at this point, but I think it will be good. This has been the shortest I've stayed in any of my areas so it's a little weird to leave after 2 transfers. That's usually when I'm adjusted and ready to start going ham, but now I get to experince something new which I'm always excited to do. I've enjoyed my time here and I'm ready for what awaits.       I'm just starting to feel better after being sick since Monday. In fact I probably pushed a little too hard today, because I was so excited to finally be able to work and get out of the apartment. We had a bunch of goodbyes, and they gave us so many treats and just spoiled us with meals and all kinds of goodies. By the time we got to our dinner...

Howdy yall!       This week's been good and I'm still alive. There's not much for me to talk about but I'll fill you in on some stuff. Our area is still chugging along slowly. We still don't have anybody that we're teaching currently, but we've got some real good knocking in. This week is pretty much going to be a knocking week from sun up to sun down. It's going to be pretty exhausting and frustrating at times, but it will pay off so much in the end. Also transfers are OK the 15th so I won't be able to talk to you guys until the 14th due to not having a pday until then, but if you're sending me packages for Christmas, if you could wait until I figure out if I'm staying or going that would be best! Just wanna make sure they dont get lost.       Anyways yall that's it, not much like I said. Hope yall have a great rest of your week and I'll talk to you guys soon!  3649 Cedar Run road, 79606 #413
