Hey mom! I'm just emailing to let you know that I got my visa on Thursday and I will be heading to Mexico this Monday (September 13) at 12pm. It's super rushed, but it's cool that I'm finally going. So I'm just letting you know that some time between 8am and 12pm Monday morning I will be calling from the airport.
I hope all is well and I hope I get the opportunity to talk to you guys. They will be flying us to Texas, then Mexico City,and then Veracruz. I get to Veracruz at 9 pm Monday night. I'm extited to see what's waiting for me in Veracruz and I'm exited to talk to you guys. Take care! Let grandparents know also. Thanks!
5:28 p.m.
Alright, so I'm in the airport waiting for the phone, and they have little computers where you can pay to check your email, so I figured I would do that while I wait. I gotta admit, I'm sad to leave Park City, but I'm exited to see what is ahead of me. It's going to be crazy intense fun. I'm wodering what things are going to be like with the hurricanes and all, but I guess we will see, haha.
Man, Park City is going to have such a good month the next two months, it's crazy. We get a direct flight from here in Houston to Veracruz, so I will get there around 11 at night, so that will be fun.... but I can't believe I'm already headed to Mexico! I'll talke more on the phone I guess. Just remember I love you all. No worries mom, I got all the stuff you sent me, it was great. i packed the protein but had no room for the mangoes, so Park City will enjoy those. Take luck all! I love you!

Transfer 2. Week 3.
Well, we are already going on week 3 of the transfer. There certainly is no time to get comefortable in the mission field--thats for sure. This week was definitely a learning week and a building week. Just as in sports: some years are bulding years. In the mission, some weeks we have to be building weeks. There's nothing you can do about it. I just gotta take what I get and roll with it!
I have applied the concept of talking to everyone and so far it has worked. According to the PMG definition, we have 4 new investigators, but I don't feel confident enough to call them that yet. Spanish people are definitely easier to contact. The problem is getting them to follow up with stuff, but it's where the success is in this area so far.
My comps are good. They like to work hard. We just gotta work on fusing our ideas and what not. It's almost like the difference between Republicans and those daggum Democrats with our different philosophies and what not. But we will work on it!
SO, the trees are starting to change colors here! Meaning, it's getting COLD! Man its cold! But it's so beautiful. I'm really falling in love with the place. Down town Park City is a really neat place. (Thats where the family tree center is) ;) ha ha. This week I have learned some good stuff about myself and what im turning into.
I'm still really working on getting letters to everyone in the fam, so just be patient. They will come, I promise! It certainly is interesting to have nothing but greenies in a companionship, but it's happening for a reason, and I know we can do this and that there are people here that we can bring to repentance.
Sorry we don't have time to write a fatty letter today. Yesterday the library was closed; that's why we are doing emails today. Dad, good luck at the horse competition. Jake, good work on your eagle project. By the way, you stuill owe me a letter after that fatty one I sent you for your birthday! Everybody, I love you. Mom, thanks for the packages. They are so great and helpful! I love the mangoes! Take care, and I love you all so much and thank you for everything! TTFN!

Transfer 2, Week 1
So crazy news!!!! We had transfer meetings on Wednesday and I got transfered all the way to Park City!! I'm not sure if I'm on a mission or a paid vacation, but it sure is gettting cold!
This transfer is going to be lots and lots of work, and praying and exercising that faith muscle. Right now Park City is a little slow compared to Kamas, so we are going to be working our [buns] off. I'm with Elder Wagner and Elder Miller. Together we all have 4 months in the field! Cool thing is, I have the most time out on the mission. Never thought I would see the day when I have the most time in a companionship.
Elder Wagner has been here for 2 transfers, and in the field about 3 weeks less than me, and Elder Miller is the same as Elder Wagner. I'm planning on applying what I learned from Elder Torres and Elder Hernandez to this companionship. We all worked so well over in Kamas. Since Elder Wagner has been in Park City the longest, what we do is pretty much up to him, so I will just be suggesting things. I'm exited for this transfer. It's really going to make me dig deep and decide what kind of missionary I am. I know the only way to do this is to be humble, patient, faith, and perfect obedience.
So we live in an apartment here that is provided by a member. My cleaning skills developed at Babbitt Motor Werks are paying off. I got the kitchen in order and I'm just gonna work from one room in the house to the next. It's nice to have counter space now. I'm hoping i can talk the mission office into giving us bunk beds so our little room can have more space so we can move things in the apartment around. Overall, it looks more spacious and a much cleaner environment. It willl take time and have some difficulties since my companions don't have the same expectations for cleanliness. But both companions are anxious to work and so we are just going to do our best!
There really isn't anyting else for this week, just the exitment starting all over again, haha! The Lord certainly doesn't like us being comefortable, haha! But I'm excited to be here in Park City... as long as im gone by the time the snow comes.... But thanks for everything. I love you all!
