The Lord's work cannot be frustrated!

well life is way way to crazy here too, i have some stories for you...first i will talk about your letter. so brody is a cavity man is he?its probably from eating frosting off of 2 dozen cinimon rolls. sweet2 letters whoop whoop haha. thanksgiving we are eating with our branch presidents family andprobably just gonna visit members all day and our investigators. iheard you all might be headed to the cabin, that would be way fun (hai actually have some members here that once im done they want to comeup and go to the cabin and visit) i hope that you all can go though iknow that everyone has a good time when they are there. KaLee got a job at the mall? thats awesome, what store? madeline is finishing drivers ed what the heck?!?!?! she is not old enough for that bah they are all growing up tooo fast!!! i dont like it... haha that poor computer has probably had it im pretty sure that we had the keys put back on twice when i was there ha. so your done with your clinicals, whats after that? can you work and what not? snow snow snow, i had a dream about snow last night it was a weird onebut there was snow and i loved it! school, so usu stuff is goin good or whats the news? do i need to tryand do scholarship stuff? idk i started freaking out a little when italked to a kid that is gonna go to school the same time as me and hesaid that he was workin on scholarships and grants and i didnt knowwhat the heck i needed to do... dad will do good ha we sound alot alike on the phone anyway. things here are goin pretty good, working hard like usual. the family is doin pretty good, they want to learn everything before they arebaptized so we are helping them understand that they will learn therest of thier lives. i think 3 out of the 7 will get baptized this month and the rest next month. haha i have seen brandon a few times it makes me smile to see someone who knows the wind and snow of osgood like me :) idk about the needs of my comps family but i will find out about his and what not and see what we can do. oh camden i love that kid he is a hoot! he would be talking about how a girl is hot, haha the kid is 3!

ok so my best day and worste day were probably the same day once again... i found that after overcoming the greatest opposition you find the greatest happiness. so im going to tell you a story. the 2 most handsome missionaries woke up sunday morning, showered, shaved,ate, and finished up what they needed for their 930 meeting. they leftfor their meeting at about 920 which put them there about 5 minuteslate. they had their meeting with a very awesome man brother segurawho is their ward mission leader and is very very ready to help in theLords work always looking for ways to better it. they close their meeting with a prayer and the missionaries elder tortuga and estufa make some copies of a paper that the branch president would laterneed. they went to the bathroom and then decided they would grab lunch at the house and come back for church. they are riding down the roadand they are about to pass the road delta when elder estufa says " HEY TORTUGA what do ya say we visit paul(a less active boy)?" Tortuga says yeah that would be awesome, we can invite him to church today. so they go down delta 8 houses and stop at pauls house. the set their bikes up against the house and go up to the door. the elders were thinking well we will be like 5 minutes, we will invite him to church and see what we can do to help him. well his mom, who is not a member, answers the door and invites them in ( yes there is another male in the house!) so they look at each other and can read eachothers minds and know they should teach a lesson. so they go in and teach a very powerful lesson and they can feel the spirit very very strongly but it was about a 15 minute lesson and they closed with a prayer and it was way way amazing. they walk out and the first thing elder estufa saysis, " YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!" elder tortuga," yeah i know that was soooo awesome i cant belive we got in, you havnt gotten in there since you got here and now we did." then he realizes why estufa said it he looked where his bike was and was is the key word...someone had stolen his bike on the sabbath day. then estufa starts thinking and is more happy about getting in with paul and later he gota phone call about an amazing miracle that happened with a referal that he gave to some sisters and he was more focused on peoplessalvation than the bike that was just takin. he looks at elder tortuga and says you ride and il jog home we have a bike there i can borrow,elder tortuga says well lets just go to the church and we can get a ride home after and the spirit said that was what they needed to do so elder estufa says ok i think that the lord may have something for us there. so they get to the church and there is a member and he says hei have been thinkin about this family that you spanish missionaries should go by and gave them a referal that they probably wouldnt have gotten at any other time. later that night elder estufa was thinking about the day and himself, he thought about how much he has changed as a person. he thought before my mission or even in the beggining i would have probably been yelling and freaking out if my bike got stolen but instead , of course i was upset, i thought about what God had planned for us in that moment and i thought of others salvation and not about me or what I had lost, he realized in that moment that he is really starting to become the person that his family and his Heavenly Father want him to be. i think that was the way that Satan THOUGHT he could stop these 2 mighty and handsome missionaries but he thought wrong.

im borrowing a bike now and all is well, the Lords work cannot be frustrated. haha that was my story and i hope you all enjoyed it,but now i gotta get running i love you all and i hope all is well. let me know if there is anything that i can help with!

I am a bargain shopper!

hahaha yeah it semi amazes me sometimes when i get up so early and i dont have a gun in hand too, nah idk its something that i cant explain that drives me. i have come to love so many people here and i get up to help them. now when im home i may not be so great at it buuuut i guess we will see haha i have heard that you cant really break the habit which im not really stoked for cuz i kinda would like to catch up on some sleep!

i dont even understand the concept of time anymore, it goes to fast and doesnt make any sense at all. its dark here about the same time too and makes everything a little harder. i think people get a little weirded out when 2 guys in suits come up to talk to them in the dark. im glad we are on the same time now cuz it makes emails and stuff easier to time.

so an early thanksgiving huh? sounds like it was a blast though, i have one of those food problems too. i think its more that i feel bad and love these people so much that when we go over and they have prepared so much for us i eat until i literally cant anymore. That's funny about Matt's new puppy! i refuse to have small dogs! they are cute but i have seen enough yapping chihuahuas to last me my whole life and i dont want one in my house! haha Saiko cant die or be murdered before i get home, i will need a hunting dog next year so dont do it, mom!

i know you have changed ha you really dont seem as stressed and i feel like you are all just happier. i have actually all ready written that down that goal thta i will go every week especially with my wife because i have seen the healing power of the temple in marriage and how going helps sooooo much! im really glad that my little challenge for you has turned into such a big thing. i really knew and know how much it would and will always bless your life. im really happy that you and dad are both starting to go together!!!!! gosh i have the best family in the world! my parents go to the temple my sisters do my brothers are studs idk what more i could ask for???

hahahahahhahahhaha the "burn up the carpet club" is gettin big :) i never thought i would be a founder of such a big thing haha. the cinnamon rolls is hilarious too! Brody would, what a little beastie. i cant belive he just turned 4?!?! he is gettin old!

so life here is amazing and crazy! so i gotta laugh cuz you were tellin me to take vitamin C so i dont get sick and i was a smart alic about it and the day after i got tuttle i got his cold too hahaha. all is well now i have lots of vitamin C and im takin my others too. the family we are teaching is sooo awesome! we went to the visitors center with them and it went wayyyy good. we had 7 people at church yesterday which was SWEET!!! i love being with elder tuttle, we have so much fun together! we bought 63 POUNDS of candy for 7 bucks what a steal i know im a bargin shopper like my momma :) we saved like 300 dollars! funny stories yeah we had one last night ha, we went home for dinner and elder tuttle was goin to the bathroom and all of a sudden the power went out and he was freakin out ha not cuz he was scared but cuz its hard to go to the bathroom when you cant see anything hahaha i made him clean it today! best day this week was definately saturday cuz we went to the visitors center and had some sweet lessons and what not it was so awesome. ummm things to pray for would definately be that the family we are teaching can feel the spirit and the importance of the restoration and keep progressing. i dont think i really need anything sent, idk maybe my teeth whitener RICE BAGS we need some of those haha if that is possible. we are eating with our branch president and his family for thanksgiving so it should be fun! haha speaking of missionary moms how is your lunches with all the other moms? well i gots to run i love you all and i hope all is well and you all have a wonderful week!

So busy!

im so sorry i have like 0 time today cuz we had a zone activity and went hikin it was way fun but toook sooooo long and yeah we are just barely emailing. so we dont have any solid investigators anymore, they all kinda bailed on us and we are back to looking. we have one guy that comes to our church and english classes but lives outside of the area which makes things difficult. so since we cant teach him he cant be our investigator but our boundries might be getting changed so we can. we can only hope.so i have learned alot this week about all sorts. i have learned alot about faith and prayer, i continually learn about the atonement and the amzing power it has. haha elder carrillo crashed on his bike and that was pretty funny and today when we were hiking elder scherbel rpped his shorts. ha i think i may also continue to shave my head like dad does cuz it feels really good. i still havnt had a schance to listen to my birthday tape, i tried to find a tape player but couldnt, life is so busy i dont have time to do or think or really anything about anything. sorry i gotta run though its short i know but i got a ton to do!

Conference was amazing!

haha mom its ok that you cried, i dont really mind it anymore ha. confrence was absolutely amazing, i loved the talk about the guy that was swimming and the life gaurds had warned him but he went out anyway. the life guard watched him and went out and waited for him to call for help. he was right there right when he needed it though. that is exactly how Heavenly father and Jesus work they are always ready to help but they are waiting for our call. the 5 dollar story and the prayer. so great i love general confrence now its so crazy how much its changed for me. the father talk about loving mothers also wow that really hit home, i always need to be an example and didnt realize i guess that the way that i would treat my wife would help my daughter determine the husband she chooses. its crazy my decisions and actionsaffect alot more than just me. we watched at a stake center. im so glad you got to see elder klien, i know that he was very happy to see you. i heard from him today also and it was nice. i miss that guy but he sounds like he is doin awesome. so is KaLee's friend that she is coming to AZ with a member? if not i might be able to see if i can set up a lesson with them...anyway we shall see i guess. emotion bowl, blue posts again haha about time!!! how is jose doin, i havnt heard from him in a while. so the roads i gave you was just our area haha not my zone, my zone boundries are waaaaaaay bigger. i do live outside my zone though. we live on the southeast corner there is a pool in thebackyard and we live in the pool house haha. we dont teach many lessons cuz there isnt many hispanics in the area. we found a few potentials though and im hoping to have at least 1 baptism by the time i leave. they havnt had one here for over a year..... im gonna do it tho. ok so i gotta run but i love you lots and miss you a bunch! oh the santa thing, tell santa to hold on to his money for when i get back cuz im gonna have clothes and all sorts of stuff to buy for school... just take pics of the fam and send that i like seein everyone. il try and be better with pics, im just always so busy i dont even think about it. anyway love you all!!!

TINY little branch. my stake is kimbal east stake but my zone covers the smiths stake. sister cottrell is so cool ha i dont get to talk to her much now cuz i am a long ways from the temple and VC but il see her once and a while. she has definately been one of the friends i have made here along with alot of others, idk who all is planning on coming with her to my homecoming though... did she sayanything about alisha? oh bub, i knew that he would do good! he is soooooo awesome. that makes me smile that he wore my tie :) im not gonna lie i feel a little special. i cant believe they are all so musically talented, what the heck happened to me???? i cant carry a tune in a bucket or play an instrument really to save my life haha. i havnt listened to the tape yet cuz no one has one that plays the big tapes, just little ones but i will find one today. holy birthdays!!! 44???? wow how old ha jk your just a little seasonedpops. so is KaLee what the heck, did she go to phoenix? im so glad that things are good there, how is the weather it is coolin down here and it is really nice. crazy this is my last "winter" in arizona, as a missionary anyway. things are really good here to. i seem to be gettin companions that are a little better every time or im just learning how to deal with them ha. nah its awesome, i really like this branch and feel like i will get really close to them cuz its so small. its so funny though cuz they have had missionaries all the time but usually one has been english speaking and one spanish and usually the spanish was a native and the other a white guy so when i came they were all like holy wow you speak spanish! they are just amazed and happy to have 2 missionaries that know spanish again so im really excited. well i love you all and hope that you have a great day, we are gonna be takin some pics today so i will send them next week and what not.

The greatest and saddest day of my mission...

sounds like you are staying busy as normal which is good ha but yes winter is coming faster and faster and for you there will be snow haha. i was gonna say we worked really hard to do that insulated and heat lamp part and your gonna tear some out and add on to it... but thats good how are those chickens? you still love them to death? so the letters, i will be happy to write them back as a group is there anything special that you would like me to put in or just ansswer and write to what they said?

wow sorry idk what happened computer like spazzed out and sent it. so the letter to the school (skyline?) i write and just say please release my transcripts to my mother mindy stosich or what? and i have to get that notarized? then the thing for the visa i fill everything out but i dont sign it and then get it notarized and send them both back right? yeah the connections class, its like an english class or something and its sweet and it gets me some stuff that i need. it is the one that starts a week early yes. hey Shane Motes had like 3 days home and then he went to Hawaii, i can still visit ha. Yes, i could definately work with kids for a career, i really wanna be a doctor or something now. that may change between now and when i get home but thats the career that is on my mind right now. you can give me some other ideas like specifics cuz i dont really know still.

im super glad you llike your class, it is definately good for you!
oh man that stinks that he is goin off again, im glad he had fun though. you both definately deserve some of that. what is he going to now? speaking of going, did KaLee go to phoenix or is she going? i was hoping you could see elder klien that day but maybe another day this week.

wow bub is off i am sooooo excited for him and proud of him! he will do great, tell him not to stress and that il be thinkin about him sunday.

so i will tell you a story that will take up time and i wont be able to write about the other questions but here it is. so saturday morning we get up do our normal thing and we get to comp study and we decided to talk about the spirit and praying by the spirit and some different things. well one of the questions was do you think that your companionship and personal prayers have been getting answered. we sat and thought about it and after about 8 minutes i had really thought that that hadnt, well the bigger things. we have prayed to find a family to teach since we got into this area and nothing, we prayed for just people that would listen and nothing. so i said that and i really felt like those things werent getting answered. dont get me wrong he answered other prayers and i think that is what frustrated me the most is cuz the things that mattered to me a little bit he answered but the most he didnt. i talked to elder pierson and basicly told him how great my desire was to find a family and someone to teach and yeah we ended companionship study. so we head out and start doin the norm, talkin to everyone, visiting potentials, recent converts and less actives. well at about 1215 we are riding and see this guy lady and little girl walkin so we stop and talk to them and they are like yeah we have some time and we will listen, so we were like sweet! im locking the bikes up and said kind of a little prayer saying thanks 3 people is awesome and how grateful i was. we walk inside and they have 3 other kids, its a family of 6. now this family sat down all the kids and listened and were sooooooo amazing, quiet, happy everything it was awesome! their apartment was so clean and they really wanted to learn and wanted to better their lives even more. it was such an answer to my prayers and it was definately more than i asked for!

saturday was one of the greatest and saddest days of my mission. i have come to love my companion sooo much and i learned alot from him, the area wasnt going crazy but we had found that family and the ward is sooo awesome. i found out saturday nighht that im getting transfered to a place called tierra rica and thats about all i know, my companions name is elder carrillo and is way nice. im gonna miss liahona 2 and elder pierson but i think that he is one of those friendships that is gonna last a long time like dad and kenny and russ. well i gotta run cuz i got a few more to write. i love you and i hope all is well have fun and be happy!

Primary was great!

hahaha Mom, i was so worried you would cry all the way through your talk i wont lie... im glad it went well! I am sure people were surprised to hear that it's been over a year. i cant believe that its been over a year either! next sunday and im down to 11 months... crazy! haha im glad you got goats and you will have to get some more animals before i get home. hahaha Saiko? Oh no, not another chewer, i doubt i will see him either, cuz i think if he doesnt get hit by a car you or dad might kill him. hahaha So Bridger is home? i know when i stayed home "sick" and had to babysit i wanted to go to school the next day too lol! i didnt know who KaLee was dating, but he is a good kid and i wish that all the other kids could just shut their mouths because that is so stupid, so what if he goes to church and comes closer to his heavenly father and understands the importance of his life here on earth. i think he should have the right to do that with out being bugged even if the first time he goes is cuz a girl invited him. people in this world are so immature, whether it be high oschool kids or adults its really a joke. i see it so much, people wont talk to us cuz their friends make fun of them for it. it is absolutely ridiculous. Mom, dont worry about your test in december you will do fine, im so happy that you are doing that. i know your not gettin home til late and its alot of work but its giving you something to do on your own and that is good. dads goin to woodbadge huh? i have heard all sorts about it but he should like it. i doubt kalee would run into me coming to Arizona, even if she went to the visitors center and the temple cuz im not there very often anymore. she should be fine, let her go ha i went to vegas with brandon for my 17th birthday ha. holy crap she will be 18!!! thats ridiculous i just realized, well it just hit me that she is gonna be 18... scary! So, new investigators, we have some more potentials but not really new investigators. we have 1 that has a baptismal date but is being really lazy and bails on appointments which stinks really bad and is tough but we will keep workin and see what happens. My biggest obstacle this week has been finding people that want to learn. its really rough cuz idk what is going wrong, we talk to everyone but we are finding very little that want to learn. my best day this week, though, was definately yesterday and it was because we had someone at church and also cuz we got to go in and help with the primary, i loved it and i actually learned a ton it was great! haha yeah after 118 degrees for a summer then goin down to 50s and 60s that is a big difference... im gonna try and not be a sissy this winter though, its my last one here so i gotta enjoy it! Yes, mom, i do still have vitamins buuuuuut i only take them once and a while... its hard to remember. well i gotta write president but i love you all and i miss you a bunch. have a great day!
