Hello Everyone
So right now i am in.... Austin again. which is so sweet. I love Austin. I am in an area name Barton Creek. On a map it is in a place called Bee Cave and the areas around it. The area is one of the richest areas in the mission. In three days i have seen 1 Lamborgini 1 mazeratti 2 bentley and numerous porsches driveing around. It quite different from Hondo almost the oppisite.
Like i told you guy last week we got doubled into the area. The area was split from being the Lake Travis/Barton Creek area to being the Barton Creek and Lake Travis area. The first day we got here we dropped our only investigator and have been spending most of the time finding people to teach. It is not to bad though because my companion Elder Schoney served here one on his first transfers and has a real love for the area. I feel pritty confident in my ability to talk to the people here and the member here seem excited to do missionary work. So i have some high hopes and tonz of faith but if you guys could pray that we will be able to find some investigators that would be great.
Anyway love you all .
Elder loveless
p.s. One last thing if any of you are planning to send me anything hold off for a while because we dont have an apartment for us just yet. It is one of those things that they are "working on".

Hello everybody
This is elder loveless from here in the TSAM. I hope all ya all are doing fantastic. So i just learned that i will be getting transfered in this upcoming week. I have no idea where i will be going but i do know that me and my new area will be doubling in the area. Which means that both of us will be completely new to the area, which is going to be a challenge. We will have to start with all new investigators. Also my companion will be dying from the mission. So i will have the challenge of keeping him from getting trunky and thinking about home to much. I dont know what the next transfer is going to be like but i do know the lord does. So all i have to do is rely on him and this whole thing will go great. Like it says in Nephi 3 7 the lord has already prepared a way that we can save the soals over in where ever it is that i will be going. Anyway pray for me that i will be able to find the people that are interested in the gospel in my new area. I know i will need all the prayers.
Mom and Dad, thanks for your advice i guess i will get to use it with my next companion though. Mom with the people around you who ever they are if you want to spark the testimony in other the most powerful tool you have is when an opportunity presents itself , bear your testimony to them. Tell them how much this has helped you in you life and our family. Two other suggestions that i have is invite them to come with you as their friend and to do small random act of kindness, bake them cookies or brownies or pie or something and show your love for them. And if they say no, don't take it offensively love them anyway and invite them later on. You never know how much your example can do for someone.
Grandma Gehring, i loved the music as well. I think the second song on the Sunday afternoon
was awesome. Amber Happy Birthday.
Anyway I will talk to you all later

Hello Everyone
So i hope everybody enjoyed general conference as much as me. Elder Hollands talk was way sweet. i just want to take a few minutes and tell you all how much I love this church. I love how much guidance you can get from each talk. This really is an inspired church. Just to hear the words of the prophets boost my sole and spirit. It make me excited to serve the lord and do his work. i am trying to live life on my mission in a way that at the end of it i can respond to it as Paul in the New Testiment "I have fought the good fight i have been true to the course" and have no regrets. If the mission shows you one thing it is how many flaws you really have. And if general conference does on thing it help you receive guidance to find some more flaws to work on. I hope you all had the opportunity to watch it. And for those of you that didn't go and watch it. I should be on Lds.org for another week or so and you all need to hear it if nothing else watch President Monsons Elder Holland Elder Christoffersen and Elder Clayton talks they were sweet. Anyway love yeah watch them.
Right now we have been finding some sweet people.Anyway i love ya tonz. Dad, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
Alright love ya see yaElder Loveless

Hello everybody how life going in Utah.
So we have some Awesome news for all ya'all for here in the TSAM. Nina Gonzales has been BAPTIZED. It took some false starts but third time is the charm for Nina. She overcame the the opposition from here family and got baptized. Thank you so much for all your prayers.
And the first few week of our companionship Elder Wilms and I had a pritty dry teaching pool but the pump has been primed and the teaching pool is being feel with sweet sweet converts.
Well the weather here has started to cool down and we have finally gotten some 90-80 degree weather. This summer set a new record for days over 100 degrees which was over 60 day. We have also gotten some rain which is the best cause everything turns green in like a day.
Anyway love All ya'all

Hello Everyone
Alright so this has had it up and downs.New comp. Last week was tranfer week and Elder Tervort being the sickly child that he was got transfered up the mission doctors area in San Antonio, right next to the temple. And i got a new companero Named Elder Wilms. Elder Wilms is a studdly stud that just moved up from Criso spings the neighboring country area.
Un problema- We have noticed a problem in the area. Since the Trejos became members our teaching pool seems real shallow. So at this point we have been trying to find some new people to teach. This is a problem i hope will happen a few more time during to mission but a problem none the less.
Nina Gonzalez- Nina is back. So Nina is our down stairs neighbor. A sweet old lady that needs a few prays. She was supposed to get baptized yesterday but got caught at a family party up in San Antonio. We are going to talk to her and see if she will commit to get baptized next week so prayers needed with her.
Anyway that all for now

Alright So we have a some sweet news, beyond sweet, freakin sweat. we have some freakin sweet news from here in Hondo Texas.
First- Trejos- BAPTISM baptism baptism baptism baptism baptism baptism baptism!!!!!!!! We just had the best baptism for the Trejo family. And by 9 i meant 8 but still 8 souls recieve the saving ordance of baptism!!!!!!!! The service was packed and the ward is stoked. And the family has the most faith i have ever seen, everything we taught them was accepted with such faith. I love the moms answer to some of the commitments "I don't know how but yes". Such faith.
Next - Shoe x 2 - This month the zone ended with 24 souls receiving the saving ordinance of baptism, 24! so sweet! which means for the second month in a row we got the TSAM Shoe.
THE GRAND FINALLY- About 2-3 years ago President Hinckley commited the church to double baptisms. At that time the TSAM was baptizing appx. 50 souls. So since that time the TSAM's baptismal goal was 100 souls. This month for the first time in over 4 years we made and surpassed that goal with 108 baptisms in the month of August!!!!!!
Love Ya all,
Elder Loveless
