Hey everybody!!!
 
So far mission is going great..kinda weird having to shave everyday and not being around Mom to help me with everything...I cant wait to get all these lessons and doctrine down so that I can share this beautiful Gospel with everyone in New Mexico!! We have starting teaching investigators and its kinda hard to me cuz I didnt really prepare as well as i should have...but Ive been praying everyday to the Lord to help me feel the Sprit and relate people with the lesson to help them better understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ!! I was crazy nervous at the begging not knowing anyone here and having to come out of my shell alot but the District Im in is so loving and fun to be around that its getting easy for me...my first companion Elder Maxwell is pretty bold guy and likes to go on about deep doctrines, and he is a complete bookworm and loves Star Trek :) so we are pretty much opposites on things to talk about haha! Luckily our District Leader Elder Barret is such a cool guy and loves to ball so me and him connect pretty well...there are 8 guys in our district but probly the Elder I love the most is Elder Olsen! He and I are so alike...same height, weight, love sports, like to get talking about random things! I recently beat him in basketball so I need to stay away from him for a little bit haha...but anyways the food here is pretty random what I mean is that it will either be really great food or just some cold stuff thats been in the freezer for too long but most the time its great. Yesterday we had a great Devotional and Neil D. Anderson of the Qurom of the 12 gave a great talk about repentence and how we can use scriputral power to help us back up our doctrine..I loved it! WE also had another devotional on Sunday where this crazy piano player just demolised the piano and played for like 12 mins but it was awsome!! Just got done going through the Provo Temple with all the missionaries which was a great experience as well as being amazed at the beauty of it. Love all of you and especially my family for helping me get this far in life!! Hope everybody is doing well!! and sorry I only got 30 mins to write so I cant give more detail but next time Ill be more prepared i promise.
