Things this past week have been slow because I had a bunch of leadership meetings to go to. We met with the Brokehaws on Thursday and it went well. We didn't teach anything really cause she had her sister and daughters and niece there. Anyways today we played football and it was fun. Me and Elder Ware played. I busted my lip though. It's not really too bad though. It's crazy that I will be done soon. I have less than 4 months now. If I get my way I want to serve with Elder Ware in Middleton or at least live in the same house as him. I'm planning on going to the LSU v Alabama game with him. It will be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to it. Things with my companion are going pretty well. I'm hoping to get a lot of teaching in there. Anyways I dont have much to say this week. I haven't decided what I want my major to be. I'm still thinking about it. Anyways I'm gonna go. Yall have a good week and take care.

A Busy Week
Well this week has been busy. We have been teaching quite a bit and getting a hold of people. We are supposed to have an appointment with the Brokaws this week ( Model Girl lol). We finally got a hold of them. There are other people we are likely gonna start teaching if we can ever get a hold of them. I will be at leadership meetings on Thursday and Friday so I won't have much time to go contact them.
To answer your question, I write my mission president every week. I've done it my whole mission. It just lets him know how things are going and everything like that. Harrison is 9 years old. (Harrison was baptized last week.) He is really smart for his age though. He knows alot about the gospel at that age. It's really impressive. Trevor didn't end up with my former comp. (Must be another Elder Jones from Cali.) We are still trying to get the family with 9 kids to church. I can understand why they have trouble. Their kids a have a variety of things from ADHD to what Thomas has. The kid who has what Thomas has is way worse though. (Thomas has Asperger's Syndrome)
I kind of figured Mark would be a better writer. I'm kinda lazy with it lol. I just don't take the effort to do it. Unless its a girl I'm writing lol. Things are starting to get harder to stay obedient. I'm really trying. So far I'm doing good. Like video games and stuff have become so much more of a temptation.
I just looked at that picture u sent me of Garrett. I can't get over how much he has grown. So today we played zone against zone in football. It was pretty fun. Although there were quite a bit of people there. Too many lol. I can't believe Austin will be home soon. That's pretty crazy. (Austin is another missionary from our ward that is coming home next week from the Los Angeles mission. I have always said that once Austin gets home I will start counting down.) That last week is gonna be so hard for me. I'm really gonna try and stay focused though. Anyways that's about all I have for this week. Yall have a good week.
