Feb. 23

Hi I’m doing good. Pensacola is OK. We talk to a lot more people just because Pensacola is more ghetto then Pace so there are more humble people here. Elder Singley is a cool guy. He didn’t know Elder Gordy, he is from Lewis Town. Thank you for the package, most of it was gone in two or three days. But it is nice to have lots of candy to devour in a short period of time every once in a while.

It was still hot enough to do this. (tasted pretty good still)

March 2

Quick question, did you plant a tree in our front yard? About my glasses, I went and ordered them so when I get them I will take some pictures and send them to you.  They are going to look so cool and they are transitions and just in time for summer. We do have a few more investigators but most of them aren’t the quality of investigators in Pace. But we did have a good lesson with one of our more solid investigators today.

March 9

Right when I got off the computer last Monday I remembered that it was dads birthday, so tell him happy birthday for me. I did not get Alex’s email, but that is crazy. Was the dog bite just on his leg? Then the volcano that is so cool and scary. I think that is would be cool to see a volcano erupt. It seems like everyone in Florida has some kind of dog. Some of them are not very nice looking ether. I got my new glasses so I will send you pictures. They are super cool and they are transitions. I’m doing well. I’ve been starting to get flab on my arms and it sucks. But when I get home maybe me and dad can go and work out together.

Transfered, but not far

Feb 9

I’m in Pensacola now. It is a little more ghetto then Pace so when it gets dark if we don’t have a set appointment, we will stay inside and work on the map or something. The members don’t feed us as much here so I’m trying to adjust to feeding myself for every meal. It can be hard sometimes. I want you to know that I love you and all that you did for me. You never know how good you have it till it is gone. In church there was a gas leak in the church so all the doors were open to try to air it out.

My new companion is elder Singley. He is from Montana. The apartment is smaller and less clean but you get what you get. It is just me and Singley. I know most of the other Elders because I got to see them at zone trainings and stuff.

Love you so much

Valentine’s Day was good. Some random people sent my comp and I some candy so it wasn’t bad. When there is a holiday on Monday the library is usually closed. So we just find a new place to email.  I am in the routine of missionary life; I just wish that I could sleep more than I get to. My testimony has definitely grown.

 I might be going to an eyeglass place today so can you send me my eye prescription. I might not buy them this week but I have been really thinking about it.

Leaving Pace

Here are the past few e-mails:

January 12
I guess I have a urinary tract infection, so they are giving me some antibiotics and since this has happened before they are referring me to a urologist.
We had interviews with president this week and he was saying that they are cutting the amount of missionary’s in our mission so most likely elder Whitney and I will be leaving pace. It got below freezing two nights in a row, so some people put there hoses in there trees and run them so they don’t freeze but then they get some cool icicles. I’m in the process of getting some gloves and a beanie. And I might need to buy a warmer coat.
 We switch off with the other elders teaching gospel principles. Speaking of hiring there is a cool guy in our ward, his name in John Larimer he is a convert and was on a mission in Colorado but came home early because he broke his leg. He intends to go back out and after he gets back he wants to move to cedar city and would like a job so he asked me to talk to you about it. But he is super cool and I love him.

January 19
Hey it has started to warm up a little but it still gets cold at night. But one of the watches you sent showed up, the one that looks like the speedometer and it is so cool. We found out that we are moving in with the other elders Wednesday and will live with them for two weeks. Some of my clothes are getting to small/tight for me and on February 4 we are going to go to the mall in Pensacola for p-day and I will be buying some new clothes. Do you want me to send you my old clothes or should I just throw them away?

January 26
Well when we were walking we got rebuked of our heresy so that was interesting. We were going up to a guy who was walking and as we go close he raised his arm to the square and rebuked us of our heresies.
We went to cracker barrel and it was super good. One more of my watches has shown up, the black one. So now I just need the white one. I haven’t been transferred just yet I will find on Sunday night what is happening for transfers.

February 2
I’ve gotten taller and fatter. I got my suit pants let out and today I will be buying some new jeans. One pair still fits and I might need a new pair of service shoes. And some of the Van Heusen shirts are super tight around the neck, but I might just get some button extenders.
So tanner got his license before Brant, Tanners life goal has been accomplished. I am getting transferred. All of pace is moving out, so all 4 of us are packing up and I will tell you more next Monday with my new stuff. It will be sad to leave pace.

Happy 2015

These pictures are from a member whose son was getting baptized and they invited us to go to Texas roadhouse. Our investigator is out of town right now so he didn't come to church. Settlers of Catan sounds like so much fun. We almost played that on Christmas, but instead we played apples to apples junior. We were told that we are closing our apartment. meaning that we are 100% moving but not sure if they are pulling us out and going to have only one set of elders in Pace. So if you have things that won’t be here by the end of January, send them to the mission office address for safety. Thank you for the watches they sound super cool.
