got bit by a dog!!!!

well hows your week been mine has been pretty crazy, we had 2 baptisms scheduled but one backed out again at the last minute so thats a bummer but its just not his time i guess, so the other baptism that we had was an older woman who's nephew is the 2nd counselor to the bishop and has been trying to get her to get baptized but finnally we started teaching her and she started accepting everything and she stopped smoking and she was paying her tithing within a week of our lessons it was awsome to be a part of it i love it seeing the change happen in peoples lives it is amazing. so other than that we had changes today and me and my comp are staying together but the other 2 missionaries in our ward both got taken out so thats a bummer cause now our area is HUGE but we get to use bikes again so hopefully it will burn off all of the tacos hahaha. so me and my comp are taking some funny pictures cause both of our families are wanting more pictures so we trade cameras and take a bunch of random pictures haha so thats good. hmmm other than that its been raining hard core here with like rivers in the streets so thats not too much fun to work in. so the other day we were knocking doors and we were switching off every other door so we came to one house and it was my comps turn but he didnt want to knock it cause there was a big dog sitting right by the door so we went to the next house but as we were waiting i decided to go knock on the door with the dog, so as i walk up the dog looked friendly but as soon as my finger got 2centimeters from the door bell the dang dog jumped up and bit me right on the knee! i was shocked i didnt know what to do so i finally got loose and gave the dog a little kick and turned around to find my comp laughing... not only laughing ON THE GROUND ROLLING!!! hahaha and it was pretty funny it was a classic "i told ya so" moment so that was an exciting day, but other than that i cant really think of much other stories right now but ill tell you some more next week, well i gotta go i love you guys soo much, give sam and lia hugs.
i love you,
adios,

Just missing the boy (almost 1 year now!)

answer to prayers

well hows it going family... im doing great so we have our new president and we had our conference with him, but before i tell you about that i want to tell you an experience.... so you know how i was kinda nervous for the new president well that last week i decided to really pray about it to help me feel better about this new changeso last monday night i said my prayers and i was just laying there and my mind was just wondering around when i just got this feeling, a really good feeling and i felt and knew that this new pres. was going to be great and that i was going to be just fine so going into the conference i was so happy and couldnt wait to meet him, i figure having pres. doxey for a year and learning all i did from him in that time and now i have a new opportunity to learn from another man chosen to teach us and guide me on my mission so it totally changed my opinion and now im looking at this as an amazing opportunity to learn soo much more and thats what i went into the conference thinking.... and WOW i learned soo much and my interview was great, Pres. Chavez is an amazing man and i have so much to learn from him... so thats the new info on that part.
so other than that i totally miss the reunions, i wish i couldve been there, i loved that reunion spot up at Goosberry hill, i still remember my first reunion there haha so how is the family doing? and what is this store that kally and mark are doing?? so im doing good me and my comp are getting along pretty good so that helps and other than that its the same ol stuff Work Work Work! so other than that not much, well i better get going, i hope you guys have a great week and i love you guys soo much!
i love you,

Post pone Baptism :(

soo how was the reunion??? i sure do miss those they were one of my favorite things to do but it seemes ive missed the last 2! so other than that this week has been crazy and this one coming up is going to be even more crazy!! so this past saturday we had a baptism set up for 1:30 so we got to the chaple a few hours early to fill up the baptism font but the water was going super slow and then all the suden just stopped!! so we didnt know what to do we had about an hour and a half till the baptism and we couldnt get ahold of our bishop so we were looking all over for something to turn on the water pump when about 45 min to the baptism our bishop shows up and unlocks the janitors closet to turn the pump and the boiler on so we hurried and goteverything taken care of and ready but we were a little late so the bishop took us to pick the kid up and when we got there he said he wasnt ready to get baptised so we and our bishop talked to the family and it turns out the family doesnt think he is ready so we had to post-pone his baptism so that was a big bummer but we have another baptism this sunday that looks good to go so im excited! but this wednesday is when we have our conference so im kinda excited to meet our new President finaly so other than that things are going great and im almost to my year mark so thats awsome. i still havent got your package but hopefully this wednesday at the conference but who knows but i hope so.
well i better get going gotta go get ther laundry done and clean house and maybe some more soccer later on
i love you guys soo much i think about you guys all the time!
i love you

slow week

well hello, so this week was kinda a slower week for us not to much success but we have some really promissing families. but our new president is here but i havent met him yet but everyone who has is saying he is the law on the rule book and is enforcing the part in the hair, and has sent a kid home already so hopefully all goes well, our zone conference is the 15 so ill meet him then.
other than that like i said things were kinda slow this week and we didnt get the kinda numbers we were hopeing for but we are still one of the top companionships in the zone and our zone is leading the mission in baptisms so thats cool.
so it sounds like its going alright i sure did miss the rodeo and all the excitement. well thats a bummer about the mtc and families but it was kinda getting out of hand with huge groups of people going in but we made it haha
well i hope i answered all your questions this time haha im sorry it gets busy here but ill get better at it
i love you guys soo much and hope you have a good time at the reunion im gonna miss it
love you
