Yeah boy! 3 meals planned! In the morning Elder Smith and I plan to play at a Turkey Bowl which should be really fun! We are going to show the youth how playing football is done. Without tackling of course. :).
This week I've seen some blessings come from tracting. I am curious to see if some of the people I have met will make going to a church tour at least that we are putting on. One step at a time of course.

I am going to be writing lots of letters this week. So cross your fingers I'll be sending one to ya'll. (if you wrote me a handwritten letter you will most likely get something in return)
:) So I have got to tell you guys...I am not the same skinny guy I used to be. I have gained around 10 pounds since being out. (the scale is off in the apartment...but I still consider me gaining 10 pounds to be true). We shall see what happens for thanksgiving/christmas and new years. My companion Elder Smith and I are into working out and tracting so that should help to burning off the many calories. Also I am back onto my cereal diet. For anyone who knows me...I am a huge fan of cereal.

I want to thank all those who have written me.
Love you all,

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Drive safe...with the cold weather can come more accidents.

Buddy boy...I was shocked when I saw the scale say 153. My companions said they scale was off but I figured I wouldn't make excuses. Now days though I am feeling stronger since I can curl a 35 pound weight about 7 times on each arm lol and at the beginning of my mission there was no way. I weight lift/jump rope/yoga for excercise. Also can't forget walking up and down the Kentucky rolling hills while I tract. So not to brag but my legs are BOSS. Made me remember Steve when he returned from PA how ripped/lean they were...
Each week/transfer/companion I find a way to improve. Each week/day is a non stop improving process. My last companion Elder Eliot and I spent to much time with members...so we could get referrals but now I'm making up for lost tracting time and teaching people Elder Smith and I find on the streets. Him and I are growing to be the best we can. He had Elder Eliot as a companion also so we shared some of the same frustration we felt serving with him/since he wasn't the greatest missionary. What is odd though is Elder Eliot is now a Zone Leader inCrestwood near Louisville...so he is having to grow up a bunch...
Elder Smith and I are enjoying calling less actives to repentance/former investigators. This week we taught a 16 year old girl (that is totally sweet and shy) we straight up made her cry...I was like oh gosh time to tone down the bold teaching/using scriptures on her. We are doing our best to fulfill our purpose as missionaries so I'd say I'm looking real up as a missionary.
Each week something unique happens. One real memoriable momment that came to mind was seeing a deer get hit by a truck in front of us.
Alright I've got to go e-mail the Mission President.
Love you
Your little bro.
p.s. Keep working hard! :) It'll pay off...
I miss you a bunch by the way. Thanks for sending me an e-mail
