New Calling

November 07, 2016

Well Im glad to hear you are all doing well and tell Tyler I said good luck ;) It sounds like you guys had a good stake conference and this past sunday we also had an area broadcast from salt lake and I guess it was the first time they have ever done that but it was really good. It was cool because they talked a lot about going to the temple and teaching like Christ. There were four different speakers, and I can't remember the first three's names but the last speaker was Elder Rasband. He really emphasized the idea of one by one and how each of us can make a difference one by one and how God knows and blesses us one by one. But it was a really good reminder of the difference we can each make. 

Oh ya and it was really cool to see Halloween happen in a small town, they went all out! All the kids in the town and other smaller neighboring towns all gathered together in the town square and all the shops handed out candy and the park in the center of the square had tables set up to pass out more candy. And now they are already setting up for Christmas! They go all out for that too :) The weather is starting to get a bit chilly too. The low tomorrow is supposed to be 33....thats a degree above freezing.... Well hope you all have a great week! Love you!

Ya I love this little town, it does seem like it is straight out of a movie. My mission president and his wife always say that Washington is their favorite town in Iowa. It has been getting a bit colder and we are starting to get some ice in the mornings but everyone has been telling me it is normally snowing this time of year and this is very irregular for it to be this warm right now.The past couple of days the low has been in the 30's and the high between low 60's-50's but I have been able to stay warm so far :) 

We have been working with a guy named Rodney and it has been so cool to see the change in him. He once told us he used to be content with life but now he knows he can actually be happy. He has been trying so hard to make a change in his life and he has come so far already and we are so excited for him to keep changing.

That is so cool you and dad got called as ward missionaries! I know you guys will be great at it and will receive so many blessings from it! 

Tell Sebastian I said good luck and to kick that other kids butt ;) and tell LJ i said good luck too, I dont remember who she is but I might if I saw her face so you should defiantly send me a picture of her ;) And sorry I havent sent any pictures I keep forgetting to bring my camera when I email. But do you think you could also send me a picture of our family and one of all the cousins together too :)

GO SEBAS!!! Tell him I said good job! So this week I got a new companion and her name is Hermana Beach and she is from California so we are in a zebra companionship (one english and one spanish). And we are still in Washington :) But I have been trying to work on my Spanish and I have been able to understand mostly all of what people say but I'm working on the responding part. Hermana Beach is super nice though and she is cool too so we get along great. We ate so much food on thanksgiving! The member that fed us lives on a farm and she makes everything from scratch and there was so much food. Then we got to pet some horses and sheep after so it was fun. How was your thanksgiving? Its getting colder here and they said it is supposed to snow this week so im excited for this week :) I hope your week goes great! Love you all!

oh ya and we just had a change in our music rule so we can now have any artist as long as they are singing a hymn so do you think you can ask LJ to put some music together for me? And here are the last pictures me and Sister Hilliard took together and the one with Nereyda she is wearing my name tag because she wanted to :) she said it felt funny
