Leaving

Hello everyone,

For all ya all that don't know I am Going to Texas TOMORROW!!! at 9:45 and will be arriving there at 1:45 Texas time I don't know what time that is here, you do the math. But, this week has been awesome I have some really cool experiences at the RC (Referral Center- which is a place where people can call up or chat using the number off of the pass along cards or off of mormon.org and talk to the missionaries about any questions they have about our church, it is basically the only place us MTC missionaries can do actual missionary work) But I have two experiences. The first was I logged on to the chat and I was talking to a lady that was once a member of the church but had gone inactive. Anyway I was talking to her and she was offend a few years back stopped going to church and stopped praying and reading the scriptures and basically came to a point where she was no longer happy. Well I gave her two talks the Supernal Gift of Prayer by Richard G. Scott and Thou Shalt Not be Offended by Elder Bednar. She read them on the spot and then I got to commit her to go to church. The end of this story kinda sucks because I set up a return appointment and she never showed but I still got to show her the path and it seems like she was going to follow it. Also I got to talk on the phone to a lady from Missouri ish area that just had a baby and was searching for a new church. Well anyway an Hour and half later I had explained the doctrine of our church, got her to take a Book of Mormon, and go to our church for the first time. So anyway the church is progressing and we are bringing in lost sheep. For all my family members I'm going to be calling the house when I fly out at 9 o'clock ish depending on how every thing works out and hope to hear from everyone. Wish me luck I have to practice my airport approaches.

See Ya all latter

Easter letter

Hello everyone

So first i would like to say that i am sorry to hear that both Uncle Buz and Grandma Arnold passed but at least we have the knowlegde that we will see them again. So there is no need to worry.I am glad to hear that lani passed her first test with flying colors. Tell her to follow her uncle and pass the rest of them with flying colors... actually don't tell her that, cuase then she will fail them and i will feel bad, test were never my forte.

But...I GET MY FLIGHT PLANS THIS THURSDAY and will soon be in the field, which is fantastic.Um.. passed that, i regret to inform you guys that my pantry is full over here and it will take me at least two weeks to eat it all. So there is no need to send any food items anymore whereas i wont be able to fit them in my suitcase. Now small items of fabric can be sent if they arent from the 80's, you know what i mean Christy and everyone else that knows what that means...ties.

Raschel thank you for you helping me out w/ facebook and i thought note in the toilet is keind of funny but what do i know i have been in the MTC for a month now and it has distorted my sence of humor.Any way love you all BYE

PS amber i am glad you not dead i was begining to worry

Conference- We are all Nobodies

Hello everyone I hope you all watched conference it was an awesome one. I think Elder Hales and President Ucdorf’s talks were my favorite. And my favorite quote from it all was “… We are all nobodies…” (Neil L. Anderson) I have definitely figured that one out the hard way here at the MTC. Other than that there really isn’t all that much to report. I leave here in 3 WEEKS though which will be great. I love this place but I am ready to go out into the field and talk to real people and teach them our Mensaje (message). One of my companions just figured out that he is leaving a week early and I got to say I am kinda jealous, I know I can still learn a lot here but I am ready to get out there and teach.Anyway con amor Elder Loveless
