Ahhhhhh! I am so excited!Yes I get to write one last time. :) Yes that will work to go meet with the Stake President that night it will all work better and be smoother that way just to get it done. I am doing fine I'm a l ittle nervous but a whole lot better.<br />
Â<br />
Friday during Companionship innovatory I cried a lot just ask my companion. haha Then he started to cry just as much so it was haha yea. After that was done I walked out of the room and the other Elders saw me and I just said in a funny voice I broke down. haha It helped a lot to just cry and let it all out. I learned a ton through the tears. My companion is so boss I love him. He listen and helped. :) hahaÂ<br />
However, this last week was the best of my mission we were able to have so much success!!! It was amazing!!! Even the Sisters in the district and a super cool baptism with us!!! :) I had my exit interview with President last night. It was fast and not how I pictured it being. On that tone it was a lot better than what I thought. Haha We didn't even really talk anything about the mission or things like that. He just paused a moment looked up then looked back down at me and asked what my plans were after the mission for studies I told him the vague plans that I had and yes say no. haha opps. Elder What Profession are you going to go into? I said I don't know? He gave me super good council and gave me some homework to do before tomorrow. Then he asked me about me companion but said it will an a not and o in Spanish which confused me. He grinned and said to find her? What things am I going to do? That I need to be not afraid and a lot of other things that I'll tell you in person. The whole time he was talking about getting an eternal companion I just smile with my face super red and embarrassed and would giggle just a little bit like Melissa. He gave some super to the point feedback and kept asking is that clear. I just smiled and said yes. :) It was exactly what I needed even if I didn't want it. hahaÂ<br />
Â<br />
I told my companion about it and he laughed and told me that is what I have been telling you the whole time!! You understood you just didn't heed. haha Opps. haha Â<br />
Â<br />
I know it won't be that hard to come back I think that I'm just making it seem to hard and to make a big deal out of it. Just one step at a time. If I seemed super shocked or scaried looking when I see you don't pay attention to it. I'll be fine.<br />
Â<br />
These past 2 years have gone by so fast!!! It seems like 6 weeks ago we were eating at Hawain Grill and you guys were making fun of me because I couldn't eat. I know that it hasn't gone by fast for you guys but it has for me it is crazy!! I love my Mission so much and I love you guys so much you are the best!! :)   Â<br />

Well I hope you know that I haven't started crying yet. You should be so proud. I almost did last night but held it in. I saw the aviation plans and that is a lot of flying I am going to be in shock again. I am glad that I will have Elder Sanderson with me the whole time or else I would have been lost. This are going good down here it has been so hot that It is crazy!! I have been able to get a very nice in breaded farmers tan. Then white if you pull up the sleeves again. Papa Murphy's pizza would be great! Also what is the schedule of meeting with all the people I have to meet with? I don't even know how the procedure works? That is okay about the car things happen. I won't lie so scared to go home. I promise that I have changed a ton but I am still the super fun-goofy me. I will be in withdraws just kind of how Michael was but give me some time to adjust. One thing you can do is the first couple of days I won't want to be alone by myself that is a big one. Other than that I will be fine.</div>

Speaking of all those things Elder Grant one of the Aps went to our church this weekend and he was talking to me on some things and then he told me something that I didn't understand before. He said there is a difference between being trunkie and being smart and prepared. Haha Opps won't lie I haven't prepared well because I thought it was good. Well was I wrong then my companion gave me some example and I learned. Thought I would say that. Also thanks to my wonderful companion that has helped me back into shape!! I feel that I am in a lot better shape than I was!! haha</div>

So that means lots of work and fun. Yesterday my companion and I were suppose to baptize a family of 3, however, one went to Mexico for the weekend; yes you can do that here when driving to Mexico is so close. The other one just didn't want to go to church and didn't fell like getting baptized and the parents didn't really push but that's okay. The sisters baptized a family of 3 a mom and 2 young daughters. they had been studing with the javoha Witnesses for 11 years!! So cool so hard to do if you know one of them. Then the other Elder baptized a cool lady also. the other sister, because their is 2 in the district, didn't baptize but at the same time they did. We tag teamed the family with them. Then Easter gets so much better!! Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts there were so many miricles this week!!<br />
<br />
So we were at the church for a long time cleaning up everything and taking home the clothes to wash them. We were super hunger also!! So we get home and I though in a big load of whites and start the Macaroni and Cheese because it is the end of the week and I am out of food. haha. then they start to Boil and we are having a fun time laughing talking then I hear something like a waterfall?? Que sera!? So I dash from the stove around the corner to the hallway and see the water runing towards me like a billon coackroaches!!! HAha of course I do my Wilding scream like the skinny guy off of nacho libre the one that looks like Jackson! hehe Then all of the Elders come to see and by that time it was super flooded so. With all the towels we had we channeled the water to go to the front door and out so it wouldn't run into the rooms anymore. Good thing it is all Tiel. SO we sweep it out with brooms. It was nice because today we didn't have to sweep or mop much. It was like most of the house had gotten flushed. So the rest of the night was cleaning the apartment and then eating afterwards. Fun!! :)<br />
My companion and I are loving the work!! There has been so much to do we don't have enough time!! He is super fun we have a blast. He was so excited that you wrote him back, Mom. I don't know what he wrote you the first tme but he smiled and said it was good. We compared the emails that we both received from you to see whose was the longest and I won not by much :p haha. He told me to email his girlfriend last week which was a little bit akward for me at first because it was me. But it was fine.<br />
<br />
It makes me laugh that you guys are so well at containing your excitement and joy for me coming home. I'm teased a lot by all the Elders in the apartment so it doesn't bug me to bad I'm use to it. It is like how I have been able to take this so well Because my older brother is named Michael.<br />
<br />
My ankle is doing a whole lot better it isn't at 100% yet I don't know how long it will be untill I can play volleyball like fast base good volleyball. :/ Ni modo. Whatever. My bike is hanging in there a member told my that I could use his if needs be so that is really nice.<br />
<br />
Also last Pday I went tie digging for the first time in the mission we had tried in Laredo but they didn't have any ties. It wasn't to much fun because I am not to much into the ties like everyone else is. It was a new experience though. I can't think of too many other things to write. Anything you guys want to know? I send some pictures and I think some videos but I don't know which ones I had sent?<br />
<br />
Oh yes this popped if you don't want it to be on the blog but it is so funny! So yes my mom is Tammy I think I get this from her... So I wake up my companion in the night fruectly. nope not because of snoring but because my fart are so loud and all of a sudden that there wake him up. haha It isn't my fault I have no controll they are so loud that they wake me up sometimes too. haha So he now uses earplugs. Which he talks in his sleep and it wakes my up and I love talking so the other night I though he was awake so i started talking to him but he ignored me then went to the bathroom and I tried to talk to him again but he said nothing and crawed back into bed. I was a little flusted but I went to sleep again then tried to talk to him again in the moring then I realized he had the earplugs in. Haha I told him what happened that night and we laughted.<br />
<br />
Love you!!! :)<br />

So close that one time 4 Sisters took a wrong turn and ended up there opps President wasn't to happy about that then laughed about it later because it was just so sisters. haha That I super crazy about Gmas bday. We were able to have a baptism yesterday!!!! :D It was a fun one. Luis is a 9 year old boy from a less active family that we have been able to help. It also looks like we will be baptizing a part-member family of 3 this up coming week so be praying for them! :)<br />
<br />
I still love my area and my companion so much!! It has been so busy and tons of work I love it!! :D Elder Lattanzio wrote you an Email mom. So read it I don't know what it says? haha I don't really know what I want to eat when I get home? Hamburgers on the grill with Idaho Mashed potatoes no French fries!! , however, Do you'll remember how I didn't eat anything before going in to the MTC well it is going to be just the same. So save it for a few days after :) haha<br />
<br />
So while reading your letters I can tell that you are starting to get really trunkie and it makes me laugh a smile then get nervous for 2 seconds then it goes away. :) haha Today I am suppose to write Elder Lattanzio girlfriend a letter. haha He told me to go on a date with her afterward and I just laughed and it my Melissa voice said no.. haha. I feel so old in my apartment because they are all 19 and I am 21 and guess how old My companion's girlfriend is??? Guess, Guess, Guess, Yup 16! So I think I can meet her after the mission but not a date she was born in 1997! Wow.<br />
<br />
Any new word on My card? My bike looks like it will last me the rest of the time so that will be nice.<br />
<br />
Haha also something really funny is I didn't want to take my suit to the dry cleaners so I put my suit in the washing machine on cold and on delicates and it came out perfect and a whole lot cleaner! I put it in because if it got wet from the rain or something like that it would start to smell like wet dog. Yuck.<br />
<br />
If my car isn't fixable that is fine don't worry about it. It has a ton of miles anyways I think it is time for a new one. If you want to sell it that would be fine. I could buy one of those 500 dollar ones from the impound or fine a steal. Being capricious I want a Subaru Baja 4WD and Ac or an outback JK but really dream car. All the other Elders like at cool cars that drive by and I could care less about them. In my last area I learned what Mercedes Benz were. haha whatever though. IS the old green car stilling working? I saw one the other day for sell and it reminded my of it? I am doing tons better about freaking about about the world and things like that. I had a spaz in the car with my companion and we laughed and then he gave me some good advice so everything is super good now. <br />
<br />
I might have to apologize if I am not able to get all the gifts that I want to get you guys! I hope to have some time. If not I will order the things off the list that I have on Ebay.<br />
<br />
I also spoke a short talk in Spanish yesterday the Bishop asked the some missionaries that day to do it! So I noted on the things that I wanted to say and it was so much better this time!! I just laughed when I messed up in Spanish and told them to nod their heads if I said something then asked them If I said it correctly. I told them that I get nervous in front of tons of people even though I love, love talking. they laughed so it went really Well. My companion speaks it so much better than the people do here it is crazy! Last week I had a few people ask me if I was still learning because they compare me and my companion but they forget he is from Argentina. Love you guys a ton!!! :)<br />
<br />
This is Kyle's Companion's letter:<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
How are you doing?<br />
<br />
This is Elder Lattanzio, your sons companion. I just wanted to say thank you for raising him the way that you did, he is SO much fun to work with and be around. I'm sad that you are stealing him back in three weeks, cuz it has honestly been so much fun. He's a super hard working missionary and he makes everyone around him be pumped up to go and do work! I am really enjoying being his companion.<br />
<br />
Also, he has common sense, I like people with common sense, I'm sure a lot of that comes from the parents, so thank you for that :)<br />
<br />
Elder Lattanzio<br />

However, I commenced with the subject "Oh no it has started" Because there is a time that comes to pass that the family and friends slow down on there writing and communication with a missionary because they say that they can just tell me in person. haha Well I have been seeing this occure for a little bit now so it doesn't shock or bug me. :) Don't think that I am writing this so that you will write more and just wanted to write it to see if any concurr? I told it to another Elder a while back and then one Pday he called me over and said oh man it has started I laughted and said te dije bien eh. haha<br />
<br />
I am loving this area so much there as been so much work that it is crazy!! We have been able to gather a huge pool of people to teach which as been a huge blessing.<br />
<br />
I loved conference and everyone teased me that it was my last one in the mission field. My companion thinks it is funny to have a count down because he loves to watch me squerm and then roll my head back and say nooooo. I am doing super well loving every second that I have. I love working with sister missionaries they keep you on your toes and never a dull moment with them. My companion is a super good missionary and for not being out long he is second nature at what he does. I love to try and speak like he does the accent is so much better than the speakers here. the members make fun of it a little bit but it is a lot better spanish than the nasty spanish here. He helps out a ton and I am prayer and hoping that he will be able to train we I'm gone. We have been doing super well here with the work. Just pray that we can help them progress and make it to church. Also I was able to fix my bike so hopefully it lasts just a little bit longer. The sisters had an extra in the back of their apartment and I borrowed parts off of it and then put it on mine.<br />
<br />
Also my very first week here our President called us and said I will be at your apartment in about 2 minutes esta bien? good thing the apartment was in good shape and super clean. He came to do interviews which took a little while to do. Mine was super fast. He asked me a couple of questions then stated to say somethings and then smiled and said I will save those for the next interview. Oh man.<br />
<br />
It has been so busy the past 2 weeks! Some many meeting and some much updating the area and working thing crazy. When I first got here Elder Lattanzio hadn't really been taught anything about an area book so that was fun. Tons of learning hard work. We working together super well. We laugh and have super much fun together. Also, he thinks it is funny to give my tips and pointers on dating because yes I have told him all my stories. He also had taken it apon himself to get me "into shape" 5 weeks till sexy. Well he is a riped guy and loves lifting weights and does realize that I am not and I am just skinny and weak. However, today he made my lift a lot and I threw up for the first time on the mission. I threw up 2 minutes before studies then started to cry just a liltte bit because I abhor throwing up!! I was in the bathroom and thought he had heard me because the door is right next to his chair but he didn't. I finally told him and he say give me high five I am so proud of you!! You did so well. I wasn't as happy as he was. I told him that I not yolked like he is and that I have never lifted like that. After I threw up I felt a whole lot better. I am just super tired now. Super that you had to read that but it is good memories.<br />
<br />
My ankle is doing a lot better I played bball but went super easy on it and it didn't hurt. it still is a little bit still however that is ok.<br />
<br />
And yes, Jackson is right this part is super crazy and scary! I don't want to return to the real world! Ugh Here is a list which I can say because most of are steps in the gospel... Dating, Eternal spose/marriage, school, career, job to pay for school, and some of the first things a mentioned a I have already had a huge shell for and the mission has slowly poured more onto that shell to make it nice and thick, which I love I can stay in there nice and warm and nothing to worry about. haha just thought that it would have been funny to include that list.<br />
<br />
All is good though! I love the mission my companion and everything.<br />

Crap. haha Also I my bike broke down all the way so I think that I might after to borrow a members or buy a bike at a pawn shop or Walmart soon? I love my new area it is almost Spanish so I love it!!! haha I love love my new companion I wish that I could stay with him longer. He just got done being trained and he is a super good missionary and can teach and do everything. Well the district that I am in has 2 sets of sisters and another set of Elders that live with us. They district is doing so weell they are on fire. the only thing that they are lacking a little was keeping the area book up todate and a little bit of obedience issue which it is all good now.<br />
<br />
Elder Lattanizo is the name of my companion I am braking him which I have never done in the mission. He is from Argentina and has the coolest accent in the whole world. He speaks spanish correctly too which is a plus. He has lived in Utah ever since he was 7 so he is teaching me spanish and English because both are better than mine. He corrects me all the time because I tell him to. He didn't know to much about the area book or things like that so he has learned super fast he will probably train when I leave or become the district leader. He was super nervous to get me and to kill a missionary but he told me " It is funny you don't even want to go home" I told him that I might have a brake down and if he sees me crying in the future that I am okay. Also he is Italin!!! 7 Out of his 8 great grandparents came over from Itally!! Isn't that so cool! He thinks that our family culture and back ground is rich and cool but it is so cool to look at others.<br />
<br />
Also we don't have to many miles on the car each month so we have to bike also. We also got a brand new 2014 toyota Corrola on Saturday It is so boss! We had a malabu chevy, yea, Never buy one. I have driven 2 old ones in the mission and a brand new one and they are the pits!!! stupid cars. The corrola has a voice programer on it that only responds to my companions voice!! it is so cool I have pictures!! I am so excited to be here they is so much work to be done I haven't had anythime to catch up on it.<br />
<br />
I won't lie I was super nervous to work with Sisters I never have done that has a district leader. My companion laught and told me that if I could couch girls volleyball and even 14 year olds that Sisters are nothing. They are so awesome though. The other night at 10:26 I get a call from them and all 4 live together they are laughting like crazy and ask me if they can ask me a question? It was sister Price on the phone and she starts telling me that on monday that they forgot to buy toilet paper and they were out and need some right then. SO they wanted permission to got to the store super close by to get some. haha I laughted and told them to just call a member girl to get some and bring them some. This was saturday night so they couldn't go the next day on sunday and get some. I aslo told them if nothing works to just take a roll from the church until they could get some. Everything work out okay. haha. My ankle is doing great I fell almost back to normal i still can't play sports though.<br />
<br />
I am doing super well working hard and loving every minute if it. I can't feel the love and prayers from you everyday! Love you guys tons!!! I am so excited for general Conference!! :P<br />

I don't understand what you were saying? Yes I got kenna's package on Wednesday on my birthday. I loved the package and gifts thank you so much. Mom haha I realized that I could have told you to go on Philps.com to by the new shaver head. Thank you for the new one though. Man dad is just traveling everywhere. Yes I actually was super blessed on the day of my birthday we went by a member to see how they were doing and then gave us coconut cream cake from Sams Club it opened up here on the same day as my birthday which is my favorite Then, we had a meal appointment on that day, which is a miracle because we hardly have those, and they had pizza and a super yummy chocolate cake. My companion told them it was my birthday and they did a 21 and sang to me. It was a super good birthday. It was a pretty day that day too. So what it the topic that I am suppose to speak on? Yes I am getting truckie transferred to hildago. It is super close to the board and to the mission office. I am not going to the North which I thought was going to happen. I think that I am going to go brake a newer which I have never done, (Brake meaning the next companion after training) So I am excited about the next area. It is a car which I haven't been in a car area for a while. Sorry this letter is super short it is because most of my time was loading pictures.<br />

I loved it the other Elders thought it was gross. haha Yes I got the other package that you sent on Saturday. Yes the weather has been super crazy down here it doesn't want to make up its mind. the wind as been super strong down here too. It makes one slow on the bike. Dad's letter was smaller because I ran out of time to keep on writing. Yes I am doing really well. Learning and growing more and more. :) So last Pday I Sprained my ankle pretty bad playing basketball. I have Pictures. My shoe slipped off a little bit and I went down on it and I heard my ankle pop. So I had to look up what to do on the Missionary health guide book. It said if the pain or swelling was over the boney part of the ankle and so I had to call Sister Maulenda and then send her a text of how it happened and details about it. So then, I had the area Doctor call me, so, I talked to him. So I was going to play a joke on you and put this sentence after this next one put I thought that and then say just kidding after that but would be super bad and rude to yall. (So I might have to come home early it is bad we will see.) No but it is fine the Doctor just said ice it and but a brace on it. ELder Guielltte had a nice brace so I am using that one. He also told me no sports for a while I think about 5 weeks great. It is healing very nice and fast. I can ride the bike and everything. However, if I walk to far I just have to take a brake and then keep going. Won't lie I was a little bit slower this past week. haha Also we had zone conference this last week and Sister Maluenda did a power point of missionary safety and of course it goes over things on about Pday and then See says like Elder Wilding he sprained his ankle hopefully he doesn't have to go home early. Then moved on and president stopped and asked who did that?!? then of course I had to raise me hand and say me. then he asked my some questions about what happened so every one know and then they said so jokes about it here and there. It was all good. So you know how I am a hypochondriac so when I first did it I went to the side and in my head I though that I had messed it up bad because it was super tingly it felt the same way as I did when I broke my arm the second time. SO in my head I was like I don't want to go home if I messed it up. I will work in the mission office I will go and work at the MTC for the last bit I'll do anything I said to myself. I was just a little worry there is reason to be right? :) However, all is good. We also went to SIster Stacy Dukes house to move a chicken coop and then she feed us lunch and she had to turkeys and I would gopple and then make the young Jake gopple and they would all laugh and I loved it. then the other Elders know that I could make good animal noises and so I did a cow one and they all loved it. ahah Sister Dukes has a small little farm for recuing animals. It was fun. She also had quail hard-boil eggs they looked like little dinosaur eggs. Thank you all for the birthday wishes! :) I can't believe that I am going to be 21! I don't feel that old. Love you all!!! :)<br />

Also yes that is the Date that I come home Julianne sounded so excited in her Emailed I loved it. It made me smile and laugh inside. Also I need to ask you all something. Don't post on face book what time I arrive at the airport. Close friends and family is good because that is a lot already. haha I am still me and all but I think that because I will be so excited/shocked from the amazing Plane ride. That I might have a heart attack. However, Don't stress yourselves out it you think it is to many people I love people. You will also get to met Elder Sanderson's family because they will be there waiting too. Haha I also got a another short call from the office to ask when my license expires so good thing that I already got that done. they called because in the past there has been missionaries whose licenses have been expired and it is super hard to get out of the Valley, that is the name of all the border town here, with out your license so they have had to maintain some missionaries here until the had figured that all out. I am all good now I just need to hold on to it so that I don't loose it and have to order another one. Also tell Grandpa thanks the other Elders love the cookies they are so good! Did you get my package I sent it last Tuesday. Anyways enough about that stuff! Funny story time!!! So we have 2 huge hospitals in our area so we give blessings there when people go tell us to visit their friends or family members. or members from other Cities tell us to go visit someone. However, We all know that I am a mountain Boy from Idaho and that has only been on 2 plane ride all to the same place. So I find myself on the 6th floor in the elevator and we are going to the 1st floor. I haven't taken the elevator a lot in my life time. So we entered and they was a guy that go in with us, he was going to the same floor. So we start going down then the door opens and I get out. Right? Well I make it all the way out then my companion and the other guy final seem to tell me that that is the 2nd floor and the elevator stopped to pick up more people. So I had to turn around and I felt so dumb! We laughed about it afterwards and I said, "We don't have those where I am from!" haha It was a good thing to laugh about though. I can't think of anything that I would want for my birthday? Just tell me the souvenirs that you would like? Well I love you guys so much!! Tell Dad that I say hi and that I love him too!! :)Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-35361196706016627402014-03-04T18:32:00.001-08:002014-03-04T18:32:38.068-08:00March 3, 2014Haha for my Birthday I don't need anything. :) Yes you could send me the razor head that would be nice. I just need the razor head not the whole Razor. it should be between 25-35 dollars. No it is fine to ask the date when you start you know that there has to be an end it doesn't bug me at the least. If you served well and did your best it's fine. I fly in on the 7th of May. roughly I will fly in around 5-9 in the afternoon it depends on the lay over from Salt lake which should be the longest one. The one in Dallas should be less than an hour. I fly in With Elder Sanderson who was my companion and I have worked in a lot of the same zone for a good while now. Oh man I loved all the pictures of Ruby and I saw some glimpse of the new Carpet. All the snow at KIm and Mike's house. Also there was a surprise mission meeting of all the leaders in the mission so very fast we had to ride back down to McAllen. So, the hastening the work has hit here in this mission. We had 2 guys from the missionary department to implement a new teaching way for to Preach my gospel in the Details. Well it started out by them telling us the way we teach and do other things through them out, put them on the alter and destroy them! SO now I fill like I have just entered the MTC again because we are now teaching totally differently. They told us how long it will take to get it down and to become very efficient at it. Well, by that time comes I will be home so I just need to work hard and rely on the spirit to guide me and help the investigators. I only know how to teach the first 3 lessons because we haven't been told of trained yet on the models of the other so that is fun. We roll played it and it was in English and I wasn't very good at it. haha I will learn more and be able to grow and apply more than ever and faster than ever. I am doing good here. My bike is going to last me so that will be good. Also transfers are on the 25th of this month so any packages must need to get the apartment before then and if you don't know if they will just send them to the mission office and I will get them on the 25th most probably. :) Anything I didn't answer you can email them and I will get back as soon as possible. Love you guys tons!!!! :)<br />

Well I can't get a bike from the mission, however, I know the one I have will last me out. Also I would but a new razor head they just don't have the correct size anywhere. So I am writing today because the library was closed on Monday and then I went to McAllen again to a 3 day training. It was good a lot of things are changing in how we do missionary work. Now we are to get a referral from ever person and every lesson after the first one with an investigator must be in the house of a member. So that is a big challange to do but it can be done. Also, yesterday got a call from the mission office to see what airport I want to fly into. I told the salt lake airpoty if that's ok we you all?? haha gotcha Just kidding I said the Pocatello airport. I will be landing with my good friend Elder Sanderson. That will be so much fun. I sat with him on the way down from Salt Lake to Dallas. Before training on Monday night we had a big Miracle. We got a call from the mission office and it was a referral of a young lady whose College teacher is a member and the member called the office to find out what missionaries would be her students and while I am talking to the mission office the young lady calls us twice because she could wait for us to come over. I couldn't take the call we had to jump back into the lesson that we had and then we called her back and went to her house. Super prepared and she her needs was wanting the gift of the Holy ghost So we taught her Gospel of Jesus Christ and wanted to be baptized again to receive it. However, in the middle of the lesson she stopped us and had tons of questions where the restoration would have applied. So we told her next lesson. She has a super bussy schedule and we haven't been able to met with her lately. So pray that she will come to church. Her name is Courtney Carpenter like the singers. Other than that just pray that we can find some new people that are going to progress. would be the best. Also as you know my area is lots of English so it is good to know that my Spanish won't go too far away from me afterwards. I am a little bit slower at speaking again a little but still understanding everything. It is like starting up an old engine up. Also before I forget. What kind of suvenres do you all want? I am no idea. I would get you some cool Mexican stuff but I don't thing that I am in the right area for that right now. there isn't on of those stores around. So I don't know? Something of Texas or Mexico? I wish Meixco because the most part of my mission has almost been in Mexico. I will be writing on monday so thing of somethings to talk about because that is only a couple of days away and I hope to have some to say. My companion is doing good he is learning a lot and even in this area his Spanish has gotten so much better. the weather is super nice down here it has improved a lot. It is like Spring down here right now. Have you guys seen a robin Bird yet that is when you know it is spring that is what julianne taught me. I thought I saw on the other Day and then told me companion about it. HE never had heard that saying beforehand. Well, I love you guys so much!! I can feel it everyday. Just get swimming :) Love you.Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-53869833629764273482014-02-16T22:36:00.002-08:002014-02-16T22:57:50.208-08:00February 10, 2014 So the morning that we woke up and found all the snow is the morning that we had to drive to McAllen 45 minutes away and on the day just because of the cold and everything school statrt at 10:00 that morning. Also there closed down the express way and it wasn't even bad at all. I got to drive the Zone Leaders Van so that was fun. Before I drove I relized that I hadn't driven since july!! Whoa. Everytime it gets hard, when the wind pushes a little bit harder than you think you can push the words of Mike come it my head Head down, push, and work hard Last week it was super cold also!! It is cold on the bikes because you create your own wind and then when the wind is blowing against you it is double the worst. Also I called that number earlier in the week and now my card is working so that is good. It is crazy that you guys haven't been receive lots of mositer because last year and the start of this year as been so wet. That is good to hear that great-grandma is doing better I can't believe she will have 99 years this year!! Whoa Yea you told me about the letter that is so so very cool!! Not going to lie I pray she makes it to May!! :) We there isn't to much new not that I can think about right now. We are still working with Victor he was suppose to get baptized yesterday but felll ill I guess. He is so crazy!! Oh also transferrs are tomorrow and I am staying and so is my companion. The only one in the District that is leaving is Elder Bertrand who just finished training Elder Nielson and his new Companion is Elder Gualette (Sp) the other missionary from Pocatello Julieanne Knows his mother. He will be in the District with us and live with us so that is cool and exciting. So it looks like I will finish up the mission in this area or get trunkie transferred which means the last 6 weeks or the mission go to that area and then die, Which is a jargon in the missionary language for the time that you finish your mission your dead, that is hard right. WHen I first got into the mission and my trainer told me oh yea he already died talking about a missionary and didn't put to much thought it in while saying it. I responded wait more missionaries have died!!??? With a scared face then he had to explain to me that it is a saying in the mission langauge or a jargon. So that is what it is looking like for me. I am glad to stay here. We have a mountain to still climb and work and I felt a little overwhelmed this morning but I will reiterate the quote from my beloved unlce Kim and one Apostle that I can't remember and that is to Work, Work, Work. Reiterated over the pulpuit was Tate Shup Up and Work. So that is plan that the spirit told me this morning while I was pondering. Work, work, work, and pray the Lord will help out and make up the faults. I know it can be done. other than that I am doing super good. Keeping the faith and head up high. Just like the song says on the blists CD Hold! Hold you head you high. Which he I was younger I distinctively remember singing blow! Blow your head off then mother correcting me, I don't know if you recall that Mom? haha well sorry that I am so random today that is how it always is. It has and is so coming to pass would President Dye said when you set me apart. You will be rejuvenated in the work while remembering the love that your family has for you. Oh how that was so true and directed by the spirit. I am grateful that Melissa Roberts was so fast and took such great-careful notes. I am running out of time here for emailing. I love you guys so much and can feel the love and prayers dumping out on me here while I work. I am doing wonderful and I love this work with all my heart just How I love the Savior and you all. I am sorry that I have miss spelled so many words I am trying to use them a lot so that I can know them in my native language and then use them in Spanish. No spell check today. i can say the words the hard part is the spelling. love ya.<br />

Kyle: haha yea i do!! It was 30's and Aunt Allison was right it is such a different cold. it is because of the humiltity. We would talk to people and they would be so puzzed we were outside. One lady pulled up next to us because she was so worried about us and advised us to go home because a storm was on the yern. We smiled and said thanks then said to ourselves while laughing we can't.Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-4600371627018578452014-02-03T11:29:00.000-08:002014-02-03T11:29:24.903-08:00February 3, 2014 haha when we were out working last night people told us a little bit about the game. We had a couple of set appointments with people but they were watching the game. After a guy told us about the game I laughed and told me companion the game doesn't even matter to me at all. He laughed and said even before the mission I don't think that I have watched a full super bowl game. Haha I totally had some pictures to send to yous but I forgot my camera again opps. Also question about my new card it worked once now it isn't working? I tried to call that # on the front to activate it but couldn't get a hold of someone to do it so I just tried it and it worked once now it isn't. Don't worry about it this week because the only places that I have tried it were a Marshalls and at a small business owned vacuum store and it didn't work at the small vacuum store. I needed to get a new filter. The winter Olympics are already here? that is crazy. We also had a freeze here it was cool. Not a total freeze but the trees had ice on them. I took picture. We are doing well. WE have someone looking to get baptized this coming week. His name is Victor and he is a bit crazy he is not all there socially but is super smart and bore is testimony yesterday and it was very good a short. I guess before I came he did that is Spanish ward and was pretty much yelling into the microphone is Spanish and English until someone from the stand told him that his time was up. so I was super nervous when he told me to guide him up there and that he wanted to be the first person to go. haha he did super good he didn't know quit how to end it but it was smooth. He knows a lot of enormous words in English so sometimes he confuses me. haha like he is so smart he is crazy. I learn new words thought Like plumage and that is like the word in Spanish La Pluma which means feather or pen in English used for pen is because in the old times with ink and a feather I Guess? His interview with our Zone leader went good too. Who is Kyla? Man dad is working like crazy!! What does he do if he ever gets sleepy? I have picked up on that attribute of him where I can fall asleep on a dime. yea what is your calling right now is the stake mom? I forgot what it was when you left stake young woman's sports director? Also about my bike so you know how it was stuck in the gear what I did was a loosened the cable and then tightened it to where it would be in a stuck in a lower gear and not at 7 and now I can change from 2 or 3 in the big one and now it is so much easier and it works. So I think it can hold out. Anyways who knows I might be transferred to a car area? I am doing super good. This last week it was so cold and I didn't prepare myself for a mission that is cold I had to wear my pajamas that you gave my under my pants to help keep me warm on the bike haha. On the day with the ice I had on one sweater, that 2 pieces thing that you guys got from missionary mall, hat, glove, and a scarf wrapped all around my face. I had to adjust my helmet to fit over all of it and it almost didn't fit. I had pictures I will definitely send them next week so sorry.. We also saw a possum running in front of us one night so we took off running so we could see it up closer. It ran in some bushes and wouldn't come out then I say hey can't they climb things? We look up and it was right above us on the fence. Then one time about 2 weeks ago we are knocking on the less actives door and the biggest spider is above us and my companion hit the web it is on and it falls down swinging almost into my face and I started jumped because I had no where to go I was in a corner and I might have swilled like a pig or a little kids a good amount of times as it swung back and fore towards my face. Well Love you guys tons got to go!!! I will update you on the workage of my card next week thanks!! :)Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-70555918084378124992014-01-27T11:01:00.001-08:002014-01-27T11:01:54.427-08:00January 27, 2014Story time! I finally thought of one even though I have a million. Oh man Robby!! Do I have the story for you!! So last night we final got to go meet a young couple who aren't members but had been taught a couple of times by the other missionaries in a members house and then they send the referral to us. So it is a young couple with a son that is 1. We go in a it is pure Spanish and we sit down and I look at the young guy and he looks just like you!! Could be your twin. It was weird when we started teaching his mannerisms were like yours and his hair and hair duo. I also thought that the way he was acting when we were teaching he would be just like you. I told him that and he just laughed. cool young couple! Haha the whole time we taught I wanted to talk to him like he was you haha. Give him a big huge and scare him haha. ( I wrote this to Robby first and didn't want to rewrite it.) Family!! Also tell the young women thanks for the package I loved it! So that is good that you think the Melissa story is funny. It is now. haha not then but it is crazy memories. Oh man dad you are just on the go everywhere!! We had dinner with the Stake President last night and they have 7 children and the penultimate of the kids asked me to guess what her favorite thing to do was and I asked her what it started with and she said G and I guessed very fast jumping!!!!!! Right???!!! The whole family laughed at me and said no, no, no, G no j not much Spanish for you and I said not enough study of English. It was fun with all the family. Also one of their teenaged son said to me one time, after sitting with the kids at a ward party, how much time do you got in the mission? I asked slowly haha and he said well you are going to get married fast because you are so good with kids and they love you. I died when you said that and I said mm well more like 5 years after the mission that sounds better. We also had Stake conference this past Sunday it was pretty full which was good so full we didn't even find out investigator that came we texted him after and he said I looked for you too. He is a man that has investigated the church for a very long time and then stopped and then an answer to his pray was to go to the Mormon church so he came back again we have been teaching him for a while now. He is the investigator that reminds me or Don. I am still working on the bike problem. The day I called the mission about my bike is the day after the Senior Missionary who was over that had just finished his mission who was super good at his job! Bummer SO now the responsibility goes to the Assistants to the President and they are super slow and getting back to people! We also have a new thing in the mission call the chain of command so I have to work through the Zone leaders to get ahold of them and that is the problem or I call the office and they are never there when I call. However, I will be fixing this problem soon. I think I got to the mission office in a week or two for a training with my greenie. How is Grandma doing? I love the story that aunt Mellonee had of her. I hope she is doing well. The area that I am in is mostly white people and a little richer in some part of the area I have learned and grown a great deal in this area. We have some people that we have been teaching but all of a sudden drop of the face of the earth then we hear from them again so that is always exciting. We were going to have a guy get baptized last week but last time I had heard of him he was at a gas station next to his house with no car for the car or money but we don't know where he went. he is another guy who has been learning about the church for a while also. I love you guys so much!!! I love this work and we are working super hard!!!! Till next time!! :)<br />
Elder Wilding, Your son and Brother! :) Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-60847587911994105402014-01-23T20:37:00.001-08:002014-01-23T20:37:50.314-08:00Weird!This is an email I sent to Kyle!<br />
<br />
I got a called to day from a weird number. It was the Missionaries in my area wondering if I would still like to hear a message from them! I laughed at them and asked if they were LDS and then told them I was already a member, for my whole life! I said that may be my number was there by mistake probably because I was helping fellowship someone! Funny! But then the more I thought about it the weirder it was so I decided to google the area code! It was from Texas! Specifically Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo and South Padre Island, Texas areas! Why are people from your area calling me like I am an investigator! The number was _________! So weird! Did you right my number down if an area book?<br />
Love Ya,<br />
Melissa<br />
<br />
This is what I got back from Kyle:<br />
<br />
Oh yes so about that... So my last companion love him to death but he had some problems with playing jokes and being obedient. So about that super sorry that that happened. Well so the story starts when my companion and I are cleaning the area book out which the other missionaries before us were not too well at keeping it up to date. However, the missionaries before that did save investigators numbers under an investigator section so I come up with the idea to call the numbers to see if the people would be interested again. So I look for a name that isn't spanish so my greenie could call so it would be in english. SO I look and find a name that is super white so I handed the phone to him and then he calls it. He starts to talk then says oh your a member? Oh for your whole life? So I am think oh sweet a less active in our area no one knows about we'll visit them! then I hear him say the name aloud and signal for him to hang up! to not talk more. Then I have the most shocked face in the whole world like how did that number get in the phone?!? Then the spirit of my conscience tells me that is was my last companion before hand I think he got it when I said it to the member that called you for college stuff. I was not happy with him. So my greenie called you during weekly planning. Super duber sorry. We earazied your number from the phone completely so that won't happen again we laughed then went on with more planning. So don't worry I am being obedient and not writing your information in area books. It is the craziest thing that you were the first person we called. weird is the right word. So don't call the number you have because that would be us. haha fun to laugh about now. super wiered out too. My greenie was just glad it was in english he didn't mind. Love ya!<br />

Oh I love this story! How I miss this boy!Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-10193763362298919672014-01-22T16:33:00.000-08:002014-01-22T16:33:00.715-08:00January 22, 2014Family!!! :)<br />
Yes it is suppose to be in the 30s on friday down here. Oh man that is crazy that Grandma fell. That is super good that Koda is doing great! well things are going great here. Funny thing that dad asked about my bike because it broke down in me last week. It is still rideable but the gears would change anymore it is stuck in 2 Or 3 and then 7 on the big one. So it is a chanellege to ride sometime. However, I believe that the mission has a good amount of extras and they said that they might lend my out one till the end of my mission or there is a member that might sell me a newer one for a better price. SO don't worry I will get that taken care of. This past week was a good one. also i have a crazy story and you will have to ask Melissa about it. I am running out of things to write again super sorry. My companion is doing well. We get along good. He is doing well and is enjoyed the learing experiences out here. He don't understand my humor sometimes so that is fun. I can only think of one story but it isn't good. It was on monday I called to get my card activated and I was on hold for ever and then one of the elders told me it is a Holiday I bet that they are closed?. yup there were. We played Volleyball on Pday if was fun. I like playing but at the same time I don't because it shows me how bad I have gotten and how out of shape I have become. I go to spike the ball and can't jump high enough to get on top of the ball. I just laugh that is all I can do. It isn't competative volleyball either like rallies. The work is going a little bit slower. We have been working super hard and smart. most things aren't working but those are the times that you grow the most. The time that you talk to people and they reject you just helps to know that you are so much closer at finding that person that is waiting for you and is ready to hear the gospel. I know that the success will come maybe in changing ourselves or planting seeds. It will speed up here soon. I can feel your prayers always and love all the love and support that you have for me. Haha I doubt I could live down stairs it is so dark and I would be all by myself. that is just wierd. :) Haha next week I need a list of questions because I am running out of things to say? oh yes tell Sydnee that that is to funny that she ran a stop sign that is worse than driving on the wrong side of the road in your driving test. Crazy to hear that everyone in their family is taller than Aunt Mellonee. I wish that I would have grown taller on the mission but I didn't there is still tons of time though. Oh I also took care of my licence to extend it I sent it in about a day or 2 ago. also is my pin number still the same for my new card I had that question that i needed answered?? Love you tons!<br />

Actually the lord works in weird ways but they always come out good. I had to pay for a part for the washing machine back in November and the office lost my recite and so I had to call them a ton of times because they are slow and it paid off because they just but that money back on my mission card so I had an extra 43 dollars. As a spare that I could have gotten to if needed. So no worries :) also we were able to see the miracles and have some cool finding experiences!! Even had a whole first lesson in Spanish and my new companion invited him to be baptized and he was really excited so that was fun. My companion did get almost the whole lesson because the guy spoke fast and had a heavy accent. It was good. I am so glad to hear that my system was still up and running! :) I can see Grandpas face already. I teach some of the missionaries to clean better and to have silly systems like that. they usually call me their mom and I just tell them no I'm the heifer and then I get to explain to them what it means and how all the Evans use it :p haha. It has warmed up I bit here so that is good. that is crazy Wyoming will do that. Do we still have our black washing machine? I ask because ours here as been braking down and I have learned a good amount on trying to fix it myself. So it reminded me of when we had those same problems. I final fixed it all the way!! After all it was a stupid connection that was loose in on the side where it was hard to see so some times the connect would go that the lid was down and sometime it wouldn't work the it would get the connect and go. So I have learned more and new things about the washing machine. I am glad to hear that my letters sound just like me I try really hard to have them that way. That is super good to hear about how good Alexis is doing in Canada. She is a trooper because I would be so cold up there right now. haha I also forgot to tell you that on New year eve we had the opportunity to watch Mulan and it was the best it took a lot not to sing along. ( I might have already told you that but I can't remember or not?) Training is fun I learn a lot to so it is super fun. He is a good missionaries and works hard. haha you has the greenie sickness where he can fall asleep almost anywhere at the drop of a hat. especial in the almost 9 hours of church. :) I am trying the think of more things to write but I don't know? And right now I have about 15 more minutes. haha that is how it is when you have more to write and when you can't muster out and more you are left with all the time in the world. Anything that you guys want to know next time questions? I don't need anything I am doing super well. oh so last Pday I final found a Mable Bar donut!! They don't have those down here. I am got outside of Walmart and I couldn't wait so I start devowerign it and then it had pudding it the middle. I wasn't to happy but I still ate then and enjoyed them. I am adding all these little faces because I have extra time. We got stuck in the rain last night and it was cold because we both didn't have any jackets. Love you guys so so much!! Thank you so much for the prayers!! I could feel them so much this past week and I feel them all the time. I am so glad that I have you guys as my family!! :D Love you!! Until next time! Love Elder Wilding!!!! :) </span></span>Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-24498949783338705672014-01-06T22:42:00.000-08:002014-01-06T22:42:06.871-08:00AnglesDear Elderman,<br />
Thank you for pushing my car and me to safety. I really thought I was going to be hit by ongoing traffic on the expressway. Your quick actions to push my vehicle out of danger was a God send. God bless your bravery and kindness . I will always remember you as my New Years Eve Angels.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year,<br />

Well My companions name is Elder Sessions and he is from North Caroline. A lot of my companions have been from the East. This week has been good it was a little warm yesterday then it got really cold again. Ok not has cold as it is up there. So stories of Transfers!!!! Oh yes transfers always are and epic adventure. So... It was the night before transfers and we get a text from the Zone leaders that all the trainers have to go down to McAllen to get there new greenies! So all the transfer plans were taken off of the McAllen soil. Then we find out really late in the night what they are. so then next day comes. I am riding down with Elders Muitalo and Hachet and then I am in the back with SIster Peterson. Not award I am funny when we jump in the car I turn to Sister Petterson who is young in the mission and is training too, however, I look at here as I telling her and drawing a line down the car seat in the middle of us and tell her in a little-fun kid voice "that is your side of the square this is mine I don't cross this line and you don't cross your. I said while shaking my head. We all laughted it was funny. LAter, we are 30 minutes late to transfers like always and so I get the and take off my rain coat it was raining that day and I still have a sweater underneath because that is how cold it is. right? But the say right when I get there Elder Wilding come to the front. We were all seated in the chapel and so I go to the front not knowing what is going on. with no name tag on because it was on my name tag. Standing in front of everyone and then asking to I sit and wait what am I doing. One of the APs says Elder Sessions you with be with elder Wilding in the zone of Harlingen in the area Medical center. So My companion stands up in the crowd so I start to walk down to greet him right. NO You wait for him to walk up and give you a hug in front of everyone then. YOu walk down and find you seats. Yea everyone was laughing cuz I AM fun and I had no name tag of any idea what was going on. so the was fun. my new companion though I was funny. So that was fun. Oh man I love what Grandpa whore on Christmas Duck dinasty!!! That picture made me trunkie jk. Oh man oh much I love my grandpa!! Tell him I love the outfit and him too. Elder Vawdry a other Elders greenie and I got to teach primary and be in there for opening exercises. Ohj man the little kids were so cutie!!! Then we go to teach the old kids the plan of salvation. they were little brats and oh how much I am my moms child. We had fun teaching them though. my bike is still hanging in there if it rains my gears don't work so that is fun. We also took a short cut that turned into a huge memory. There was so much clay-mud that our wheels stopped spinning and then we had to clean them out to make them work it is like when my car got stuck in the snow drift do mad that the wheels wouldn't spin. We could pick up the bikes and carry them out so that was the good part. So did you get all my emails last week? So that is super crazy that there is no sno up there. We have had a lot of rain and it has been a rainer colder year down here. What a blessing. Still had those days were it was enough to melt the white shirts on your back.Ruby is super cute!! When is her birthday again? So I am doing super well here. The only thing you could do is pray that we can find more people to teach and that the 2 people that we have can be able to make it to be baptized this week. There are a Mom and a SOn. They little in a womans refuge which we can't go to or near so we have to met you at an elementry school and walk to a members house to have lessons. She can't use her phoine thre so getting a hold of her is the tricky part she has to be 2 streets away to use it. SHe is super super awesome and loves the gospel and is so prepared. SHe is a trooper she has been through a ton this past month. she is a huge blessing. I love this work so much!!! :) I love you guys a ton!!! :)Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-76614123246717293402014-01-01T15:12:00.000-08:002014-01-01T15:12:39.805-08:00December 30 2013family!!! I loved all the gifts that you gave me!!! My companion also loved all the gifts that he received too!!! :) Christmas was the best!! WE had 3 meal appointments!!! I was stuffed. I don't need anything for right now I am doing good!!! Also I am getting some shirts from the elder that is going home they are a lot whiter so that is nice. Transferres are tomorrow and I training!!!!!!!! :) I am getting a new fresh missionary the first one that I have gotten right off the plane. I am a little nervous but it will be good. Just pray that we can find more people to teach. Also from the gift exchange I got the vocal point Cd!! WHat a miracle right! I also got home made brittle and a note pad for writing letters. I loved talking to you and seeing your smiling faces you all seemed so happy it is awesome!! Sad I didn't get to see KIm, Mike, and Ruby but I got to hear them. I am very proud of you guys for not cry when I hung up. Did you afterwards. I didn't. However, I felt it like Kim and I would say. Also super sorry about asking about the kid thing sometimes my filter is off. Sorry :/ I liked the come back that Kim had though it was a good one. Mom your email isn't working what is your other one your gmail. So I am sending this to Melissa's email. Oh wow Dad was is Dallas that wasn't too far away!!!! He might come down here hahah jk. We have lots of Wing stops down here and they use Idaho popatoes. I like me some of them fries. My companion also got me huckle berry jam for Christmas how nice. Even red huckle berry. There are at the winter Cabin oh super cool!!! JAJA I didn't realize that I say that a lot. haha How much snow do you have? How much snow its at the cabin?! wow For New Years we will be watching a disney movie at the Church so we aren't outside on new years. The options are Finding Nemo, Lion king, and Mulan I hope for Mulan that is what I put my vote in for. I am so glad that we got to skpe I total forgot that I needed to sent up an account so one of the other missionaries was very nice and let my use his. so that was a live saver. When i first got on you could see my but I couldn't see you at the begining I have to accept the video it was very cool to hear all your voice so awwwww. :) I also have so blue ties to send to Mike I hope that they will work well. I love you guys tons. Love you!!! :) :D<br />

Family!!! I am doing super good!! The mission party was great!!! It was tons of fun. Crazy that the missionary count is up to 7 in the family right now. Also heads up if I am a little weird during the first part of the skpe don't worry about it. It just with be a shell shock. everything looks good I think? The member is good with computers so that is good. It has been a little warmer that is good. Come with lots of questions prepared and things because I love to talk but you know me. I can't think of anything really to write super sorry. Also I think there is a way that the member can make it so that I can skpe with you guys and Mike and Kim and see you all? I think it is just that your computer has to be the head computer. However, I don't know what that means? I will find out. That is crazy that the bakers will have 2 on a Mission. I also received a letter from the Alabama Wildings and oh man have they all grown up a ton!!! It is crazy! I started writing them back and then we had to leave. I keep praying to get snow down here but it only happens every hundred years the snow that hits the ground and stays 1906 and 2006. My bike is doing good, knock on wood, it looks like it will last me so that is good. It if breaks down I am good friends with one of the office workers the one that had to call you about my wallet getting stolen and he says that they have tons of spare bikes that I could borrow in the office storage. I am doing good transfers are coming up super soon again they are on the 31st of this month. I will try and take more pictures I have been super bad at that. I also got my priesthood line so don't worry about that. My companion stills wants to open them because he knows that I hate to see them or open them before Christmas. But I have been winning so far. I am super sorry running out of things to tell you. We have been singing a ton for the wards Christmas song and I think that I am getting better at singing!!! :) Also you know when I was little I couldn't endure only the 3 hours of Church, oh man was I a devil. Our small little area has 3 three lines of unit that cut/met and so We get to be at church from 8:45 to 5 and if there is a baptism 6. I love it though. It has almost been like that the whole mission your feet get little tired and be the last part your head will start to bob if you aren't careful. :) If the member catch you they just laugh and ask you afterward "Been working hard?" Opps haha I love being a missionary and I love being a part of this wonderful family. How much of a blessing it is. I have people from different parts of the country if I know Wilding so and SO and Laugh and Smile and just say if they are Mormon and wildings Probably back in the line yes. Then say we come from people that had lots of kids. haha. Love you Guys tons!! Merry Christmas!!!! :) :D :P :<)</div>

I got the letter that you sent to me today it took 11 days to get here. However, I received the packages one on thursday on the other one on friday. I loved loved the cow tails. Mine came on thursday and when I was opening it I found tons of Moms hairs ok only about 5. Then I saw them so I searched for more and I found one of Melissa's hairs only one. Haha it reminded me when I would fine them in my underware and everwhere baha(You can take that part out for the blog) hehe. then My companion received his and was shoked. I think he was super excited and grateful he just isn't very emtion showing. I think he was excited because he took the magnetic Christmas tree from the fridge and made a place for all the presents under the filing capnet and decorated which is huge for him. He also said that that is the most present he has ever gotten in a Christmas. Yes I also spent 27 dallors and Christmas Cds. I have been playiing them ever chance that I can get. :) haha My roomate love it. Also my Mission President only says Skpe and that is it??? I found a member that has skpe!!! :) Haha So will Christmas Eve at 6:00ish Work?? So that would mean 5:00ish your time. hopefully the skpe will work with Mike and Kim? Suuper sorry only skpe. also only 45 minutes too. It has been pretty cold still here but today we have a pretty day. Also there was snow here ok not really snow but it was drizzling and the rain was tinny tinny snow pelets that were only the size of a burgur (moco) from Frosty the snow man's nose. :) of course it was nothing but I was streching it to be. No you don't need to sent my sweater I was just wondering if I still had it? I think here in Walmart they have hugly christmas sweaters so I will look. Thta is what I heard. That is super sad to hear about Sarah. :( I will keep on praying. I loved the cups that kenna gave you guys there are super awesome!!! I love the Elf ones!! It is so good to reflect on the past year to see of all the many grand blessing that the Lord has bestowed upon all of us. I love this time that we have to celbrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, to help out everyone, and to spread the Christmas spirit, just how Dad spreads his veggiemit on toasted bread. HA I try to throw in smilies here and there to make it come alive and be funny. I also talked in Spanish ward the first time and had talked in the mission. I won't lie it was bad but the spirit helped me so that is good. It was bad becuase right before sacrement we had to run over to an ivestigators apartment and lets just say she had some huge problems happening with her boyfriend. so I showed up super late while me companion was speaking because I was with Elder Sanderson my old companion from Laredo he is now my zone leader. So she came with her 3 kids and I forgot my notes and say tons of wrong things in the grammer of the languge of spanish but I told them I am not very good at speaking English or Spanish and they laughed and I keep stoping to ask if they understood me. They would shake their heads in agreement so that is good. They complimented my on my Spanish afterwards and I said thanks. I reminded my when Kenna, ANd Melissa would say the people only say your good at dancing because it is like the handicap people I just laughed to my self it was good though because the spirit helped and I wasn't so nervous. :) Love you know time. So tell me if anything needs to change for the time. Love you!!! :)Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137329490001550876.post-77157054779056108052013-12-09T11:36:00.001-08:002013-12-09T11:36:38.384-08:00December 9, 2013Family!! :) How is everything going?? Yes it has been super cold here but I have been prepared so it isn't to bad. We also have a heater in the house a normal one that is like the AC so that is good too! I just a super quick question the camera card you bought me did you buy it at walmart. It is because I meant to say to you send me my old one that has pictures from the missoin. So I don't need the one you sent me I can sent it back? Or keep it for the future if it might be needed? Yes I got the package from Melissa and grandpa all on the same day. My roomate love the cookies. :) Also we have a new rule in the mission!! We can Skpe our families if we find a member with it. Also only 45 minutes and no short phone call home to set up the time. Our mission President has asked to try and only have family so we aren't trying to kick off the girlfriend at the begining which is good I don't have a girlfriend. So it can be on the 24th or the 25th. Anyday works for me so you choose the day and the time and get back to me. Choose probably after 6 for me here. Also found out that we can listen to any kind of Christmas music if it is bumping and jumping or to loud with crazy beats. I died when I heat this I scream because I don't have any Christmas CDs!! :'( And the rule is only till now and christmas so it is whatever. I am going to buy at least one CD but don't know what one? I can talk to you guys through the program of Skpe so get it or find a place I am still looking for a member a lot of people don't have computers here so I will be looking. If not I will just to call you be phone. Also so glad you guys weren't to truckie today because today is my 19 month mark so only 5 more months. It isn't truckie to say it because it is the truth and I can't change it or hit from it. I also went to family dallor it is only about 5 minutes from the apartment on a bike to stop and look for cheap Christmas CDs but they didn't have any. It is crazy to think 2 years ago I was working there at Christmas time. MY companion bought some candles and they smell super good. We also have a little ceasars close by again. :) YES!! Down fall for 6 months till sexy but whatever. I loved the shirts that were in the package I went off for about 10 minutes explaining everything on them to everyone in the apartment and there weren't as thrilled as I was and they didn't get any of it aha. I won't lie I totally forgot about "Come snuggles with mama" SO when we ride on Pday or to the church with the zone leaders in the van in the back of the van The grennie fights my off when I try to grap him and Say come snuggles with Mama he is just like NAtalie so that is super fun. The greenie remembers the commercial so that is good. That is super good that Dad has been having a lot of work how is he liking it? Does he get tired. I bet he can listen to thing a lot. One of my recent converts listen to the Book of Mormon countless of times in his truck before we met with him it was super cool. :) ALso the heat was broken is the CHurch this Sunday so there was no heat and no hot water. SO we had to boil a ton of water because there was 2 baptisms yesterday. All the members were super cold. I am doing super good. HAve been loving the Advent and everything that comes with it. Also I looked up the word Oregon in all the emails and I only found the one that you told me that Dakota was going there but it not it is whatever. No worries. One an update on how I am doing? Pues You can say I love the mission. Love the work. I love Advent and Christmas?? I don't know? Well I got to go love you so much!!! Get back with me on what time for the phone call?? Love yous!!Melissa Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13296751944668065275noreply@blogger.com0
