hey there everyone well this week has went by pretty quick, I'm really liking it here in the Gila valley and still really excited about the area and all the work going on down here so i made a mistake on my address down here it is 3393 w main st. #17 so i hope nobody sent a letter yet this week has been super busy but I'm still way excited, and thank you everyone for writing me it really means a lot to me getting the updates on family and i know everyone always says that nothing really exciting is happening but everything is exciting to me just being able to read the emails from every one means a ton so even if you don't have anything to say I'm fine with that i just enjoy hearing from people : ) well not much else has happened this week but I'm sure i will have more to writer next week thanks for all the love and support ! love you all and have a great week !

hey there everyone well this week has been crazy! so first off i got transferred to thatcher Arizona its the smallest town in the state i swear probably the size of Ferndale or so, that's kinda what it reminds me of actually and there are a ton of members here so its pretty nice and the best part about thatcher is a temple is going up here and the open house will be April 23 to may 15 its actually called the Gila valley temple but its right here in thatcher. my new comp. is Elder Torres hes pretty cool hes from the Philippines and this is his last transfer so there is no guessing about it i will be here for the open house and the dedication and the cultural celebration and the prophet will be here to dedicate the temple so i am very excited to be here the work is so much different here than in Tucson mostly cause the members help out a lot more and another nice perk is we practically get every thing free or discounted (free dairy queen!! I'm going to get FAT!) so for a missionary its pretty much amazing here oh and my new address is 3993 W. main st apt #17 Thatcher AZ 85552 well hope to here from you all soon, i was sad to leave Tucson but now I'm excited to be here! well i have to go love you all !

hey there fam ! well this week has gone by pretty quick and being a holiday yesterday the libraries were all closed so I'm emailing today instead the holidays always seem to mess up our schedule but whatever as long as i get time out of the week I'm happy : )well one miracle i saw this week was we had a man named Dave show up to church on Sunday and we got talking to him and found out that he had investigated the church about a year ago in Tucson but he is in the air force and they moved him before he could be baptized and then he fell away for a while he said but he was sent back to Tucson and he said that he wanted to get back into it so we stopped by last night had a great lesson and after resolving some of his concerns we talked about baptism and half way into it he said I'm sorry for interrupting but i really want to be baptized I've i know its true and I'm not sure how when you can do it but i could be swimming in it ! and the amazing thing about it is that we talked to our mission president about him and he told us to set a date for this weekend and previous to the lesson we were kinda hesitant to set that date with him but he beat us to the punch so this weekend we will be baptizing Dave its truly a miracle and next weekend we will be having another baptism for Carrie so if you all could pray for them and everything that would be great, well i hope that everything is going well with you all and i cant wait to hear from you next week.
