 Hey everyone! What's going on this week? Anything exciting! Enjoying the snow? How was your Christmas? My Christmas was great! I got to skype with my family, and only cried a little.
 We did finally get snow up here, and it looks like this one is the one's that will stay. It's only around 20 degrees right now. Several people are excited, but most seem to be okay if the snow melts away!
 My week was good though! One of the best things this week was a lesson we taught to a couple of members after a meal appointment. We've started teaching some members
the discussions again, and it's been pretty awesome! With this one time we were teaching about Joseph Smith, and the First Vision. After explaining about the Great Apostasy and how Joseph Smith didn't know what church to join, and decided to pray and ask which Church was the right one, and I barely was able to say that Joseph Smith didn't expect or know what was going to happen, and I started crying. That's all I seem to do now. Is just cry. As I teach District Meetings, lessons, all the time. I became a District Leader, and they didn't
tell me that I was going to cry all the time. Oh well. It's spiritual definitely, but I'm such a boob now. It's just ridiculous. 

 Anyways, this Church is true, I know it! Joseph Smith was a prophet, the Book of Mormon is true and is the key to knowing whether or not Joseph Smith is a prophet, or if the church is true! Have a great week!

 Woah, it's almost Christmas? Wow! That's incredible! This year went by so fast! I'm sure everyone else felt that to! Couldn't be just me right?
 Well, this week flew by, of course. We did get some snow, but again that all melted away. White Christmas? Maybe in our dreams haha! Who knows though! Snow could come at any moment! How has your week been? Anything new or exciting? I feel I ask that question a lot. This week we, my companion and I gave a talk in sacrament, together. That was kinda weird really had to make sure the transitions were good. We talked at the same time and shared a message on the Spirit of Christmas! 

 We've of course done our missionary work and I've truly seen people open up more to a message about Christ at this time of year! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! The church is true! Jesus Christ is our Savior and was born that we may live! Forever! I know it!
 Have a great week everyone and enjoy this time of year! Also, thank you for the Christmas wishes that I've received it means a lot!

 Well, my week was good! How was yours? Anything new and exciting? Anything crazy?
I know I had a pretty full week! We spent time this week, not only in the Dover town, but a day in Manchester New Hampshire for a meeting, and a few days up in Greenville, which is north of Dover. We had a pretty good time up there. Crazy thing was, there was snow up in Greenville, only for a day or so after we got there. It melted when we were there, so maybe
the New Mexican blood in me is heating up this place! Haha! Who knows, we have had a quite odd winter for up here in Maine, by now there foot or two of snow! Nothing much else honestly, have. Merry Christmas everyone! Remember for the reason for the season! Have a great week!

 Have I ever said that weeks and days just fly by? Holy Moly, I barely remember this week. It just was over! It was good! Definitely good. How was your week? Anything cool or exciting?
Mine was just a blur, I seem to keep reiterating that, we had several appointments throughout the week fall through, but we just replaced that time with finding, and even though we got poured on a couple times when we were out walking around or tracting, it was pretty fun. I can't even say I've had a boring day today. 

 We've specifically been using the Christmas video, and it's just so awesome, being able to
share that with others! Did anyone get to see the Christmas Devotional? That was pretty awesome!
 I don't have much else to say, but I would like to express my love for the Savior in the most straightforward way I can, HE LIVES. I know it, and I love him for it! Everyday, I wish I could be who he wants me to be, and I keep working on it. I wish I could help everyone I talk to
feel the same way for the Savior as I do now! He is always there, and will never leave us! He is there and loves us. Loves me, and loves you.
 Have an amazing week everyone!

 Hello Everyone! How was your week? Mine was good, it just flew by. I mean like holy cow. There is an awesome new Christmas video out that I would urge everyone to watch, it is so cool! #ASaviorIsBorn, I love this video! I can't express how much I love it, I just know that the message it contains is true! 
 My week has been good, Thanksgiving was fun. We had two meal appointments, and unlike last year, I decided to pace myself and not just gorge. So, that all went well. I wasn't bursting at the seams like I was last year, so that was definitely an improvement! Also, we are low on miles, so we've been walking around a lot, so I'm sure that has helped keep my metabolism moving enough to be able to handle large amounts of food like that! This week, well, remember how I said there was snow? Yeah, not anymore. It is all gone now. The snow lasted for a few days and then disappeared. It is still cold, like in the 20s and maybe 30s, but no snow. Very odd for this time of year! Anyways, I know this church is true, I know that it is Christ's church here on the Earth! I know our Savior was born so that we can live. I know he loves us and watches over us no matter where we are, or where we have been. I love this time of year and being able to reflect on the mission of Jesus Christ, a few of you told me that I would love the Holidays on my mission, not only because of the opportunity coming up to Skype home, but also the just overwhelming amount of love and giving that we all display. I know that as we serve others, we'll be able to feel of God's love for them, and for us. Have a great week everyone!

 Yup. Snow is here! Woke up this morning to a nice layer of snow out here in Dover-Foxcroft Maine! Woah! As far north in the NHMM as I can go! I'm super excited! This week was good! How was yours?
 We had some awesome stuff happen this week, we stacked hay bales on Tuesday, my first day here, while at a horse farm! That was awesome! Followed by a week of tracting and finding, but also with some amazing lessons with investigators and less actives. 

 I'm super excited for winter, and also the fact that every once and a while the missionaries
go to help a member milk his 150+ dairy cows. I think I spent a little too much time with my trainer, cows are awesome. 

 Anyways, that's all I can think of have an awesome week everyone! I know this church is
true, and that the Book of Mormon will bring us closer to God and to Christ if we study and live the principles taught in it!




 Well, I'm moving on from Machias! I've been called to serve as a district leader, so I'll teach and help out the elders and sisters in a certain area here in the mission. This should be interesting!
 Other than that, how has your week been? Anything cool or exciting? I'm doing well, and can't wait for this next transfer! The week has just flown by, first we had some awesome service at a less active members house. They have about eight pigs, one that is 200+ pounds! My companion had a dream about a pig that size a few weeks ago, then we found it! Haha! Then we had an exchange with the zone leaders, and that just all flew by.        

 We met with several less active members this week, and we taught them all the message of the Restoration. It was way awesome seeing them reinvigorated by that message. The spirit was always so strong in those lessons. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of
God, and I know that the Book of Mormon is true. God is our loving Heavenly Father and cares about each and every one of us. I know by the power of the Holy Ghost that these things are true. Jesus Christ lives and he is our Savior!
 Have a wonderful week everyone!
