hey dadda

man its good to hear from you. been a really fast week hahaha i legit cant even remember what happened the days get mushed togerther. miss you like crazy as always. thought that we were getting ipads this week, but was disapointed ahaha its chill. a trailer park burned down this week so that was nuts. this lady bore her testimony and she used to be Pentecostal and she was just yelling and it was weird. but i bore my testimony in sac, ive done it every month so far and i am gonna do it every single month for my mission i decided so that it will grow.

but that sounds crazy that the move is so close. cant even beleive it its so nuts. so exciting tho, hope you guys find a cool place to live that would be tight. im jealous of you going to all fo these college football games! man i miss football haha. Vero beach is the area just north from mine, theyre in my same district so thats way sick! members never feed us over here it sucks. but yeah i study spanish every day for an hour, but it just sucks cause i never get to use it. i can say whatever i want, but understanding is still hard for me just cause im never around it. hopefully i go to a spanish ward :)

but thank you for everything you are such a great example to me. dont worry about me too much. i love you guys tell everyone that i love them and that i miss them like crazy. have an awesome week dad!

had to say goodbye to my recent converts and that really sucked, but it was good its good to have a change. the pace is just so different here in ft p. it'll be awesome tho i am excited. i am with elder hunt and he seems like a pretty cool guy and we work super hard so thats good :)

The wildlife in Florida (Jackson proves Darwin's theory)

hey daddddyyyyy

love you so much man! hope that everything is good and that everything is going smoothly with the move :))))) but this week went well for me, i got my new suit, thank you so much it means a lot :) i had my interview with the president and that went reall good too, but.......

IM GETTING TRANSFERRED!!! :)))))) im so excited i need a change so bad this was definately an answer to my prayers. i kind of knew that i was going to get transferred tho, i had my interview with the mission president and he told me that i was dipping haha. im so excited to get a new house, the appartment i have been staying in is so bad, haha im so pumped to know where im going to go! they added all of south west florida to our mission, so i think that maybe i might go there. im sick of miami lol, but its a great place to keep learning spanish. i hope that i go to a spanish ward tho this time. i feel like my spanish can only go so far in an english ward. but its good. i really am going to miss so many people in this area tho. flagler ward is so wierd and i love them all ahahaha.  im done with the hood and the aweful hygiene that goes with that. but its good tomorrow i find out where im gonna go! IM SO NERVOUS but im excited and i know ill love wherever i go :))))))

i love you dad and i thank you for the great example that you are to me every single day. it means a lot to me to have a dad with a strong testimony and a love for me like you do.

i can eat with you if it is in my area, which would be sick! but i dont know where i am going to be transferred yet. ill let you know. when are you coming to miami???

love you man tell every one that i love them as well :)

Food poisoning and Suit woes

hey dad its so good to hear from you and to hear all your comforting words :)

that is so crazy that you were in ft lauderdale! what part were you in??? our mission home is in plantation. im like 45 minutes away from there tho, but thats still so awesome.

This week was good. haha just like any other week this transfer, slow as dirt. haha i am secretly hoping i get transferred haha im going crazy in this area. but i am still working my butt off and i am super grateful for all the trials and experiences that i am going through. i am definately becoming a better man from them. i got sick this week last thursday and i was throwing up and crap, but i feel good now. a member took us to a cuban-chinese buffet and thats probably what did it lol. haha not the best but oh well, im alive :) i cant even remember anything that happened this week, all the days are so blurred together. haha i wrecked my bike yesterday and ruined my suit! ripped the whole armpit and shoulder! freaking sucks! haha i need a change. transfers are on the 4th so hopefully i go somewhere awesome :) anything is good tho i know God knows best so i trust in that for sure.

dad i am super sorry that i wrecked my suit. 

i am so sorry for mikayla, of course i will be praying for her. tell her to pray for her decision and that if she NEEDS to go home, God will bless her for willingness to serve and her righteous desires. i love that girl. ill try to send her my love. i feel so bad i will do better. support her no matter what decision she makes, itll be the right one, i know it.

i love you dad dont forget me and cheer for those seahawks :)
