This week went by really fast! And its almost time for transfers its crazy! This week was pretty awesome. We had exchanges with our Spanish Area Leader Elder Pope. So we were a trio for a day and he helped us a lot with Spanish. That was pretty fun Elder Pope is awesome.
Best day of this week was probably Friday. We went and taught Dan and Monica again. They are doing really good. They are both really funny. Monica made beets just for Elder Jackson cause he said he likes them. And now Dan makes fun of him for that. They had a lot of questions about the Priesthood and Baptism. We answered their questions and had a really good lesson. They are really interested. Monica reads the Book of Mormon a lot and likes it but Dan hasn't actually read it yet but he said he would so hopefully that happens. But the awesome thing is he was on an airplane a few years ago and someone gave him a Book of Mormon and he still has it. We invited them both to read the Book of Mormon and come to church.
This week we had 3 Investigators come to Church which was really awesome. One was Steve. His room mates said he moved out but on Friday we decided that we should go to his house again and there he was sitting on the couch. The other ones were Michelle who we met on Saturday and then Monica came. And they all really enjoyed it which was good.
It's really amazing to see how much change happens to people when they come closer to Christ. I've seen lots of change in my life but I can really notice it in people we teach. You just notice something different about them. It really is amazing.
Love and miss you all!

Letter to his Mom (I told him he needs to come home in a cowboy hat and boots, if missionary has a usual plan to expect for your first couple transfers and asked him his high and low of the week)
Maybe before I go home I will get a cowboy hat and boots. And the weather really hasn't been that bad. It changes a lot so one day it will be sunny then the next day miserable and raining. But yea car is nice but I really want a bike. Getting fed too much food... But I've heard in the summer it gets so hot and humid that you sweat a ton. So you have to be careful cause when you pull out a pass-along card from your shirt pocket it will be soaked in sweat. And apparently when you bike in the summer some people ask if its raining cause you are sweating so much. So that should be fun.
All I have heard about the mission president is that he is unpredictable. Some people have had 2 trainers and others have been with their trainer for 3 transfers. So not sure what will happen. Just have to wait for the call on Sunday.
Haha in Texas there is so many big trucks. People will either have a big truck or those fancy muscle cars. Like the Chargers, Challengers those types of cars. It's kind of crazy.
I'm definitely gaining weight haha. There is some days where I can definitely feel my shirt is tighter than before. Those are usually the days where we get fed 2 Dinners...
I can never think of any lows.. Like I'm having a great time. Sure there are days where we get a lot of doors shut or not many lessons but I have not had a bad day yet. Always have good things happen. So yea no lows that I can think of. For the high of this week. It would probably be that we had a bunch of Investigators come to Church yesterday which was awesome.
And I have no pictures sorry... I just don't know what to take pictures of...
Love you,

Oh I thought of a low. It rained last night and was super cold so there is a bunch of ice now. And this morning when we were going to the care Elder Jackson said "Cuidado del hielo" which means 'Careful of the ice' but I didn't know what hielo meant so I went and slipped on the ice. And now I know what hielo means :)
And yea get fed a lot here. Maybe I'll just let myself gain 20 pounds then start working out more so I stay there :)
