NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER UPDATE

11-4-09

Hey everybody,
Wow, that’s crazy that grandpa is engaged, well I guess it will be good for him. I did get the card and your pin thing was a little weird but I think I got it. This week has been good we went to the temple on Halloween night it was really good. The weather is really nice still but everybody else is cold. There wasn’t much happening this week, we are teaching a lot of people though. We have a baptism this week some time when ever the kid can pick a date that he can do it so that is good. Well hope every thing is going good back home, oh yeah tell Aaron to change the oil in my car I thinks it up. I can’t think of anything really that I need yet. Ill let you know if I do, love ya all tons!

Hey everybody, thanks for the treats, every body ate them so they were happy you sent them. That’s good that everybody is doing well and that the swine flu is on the down swing. Oh yeah it was good to hear from Robyn this week. Oh yeah tell Aaron it was a lucky shot haha just kidding, that’s good that he finally got one after 4 years of going.
Well this week has been good we just put someone on date this week she a 12 year old girl that lives with her grand parents, and has had the missionaries over for a couple of years but she didn’t like them that much but she likes me and elder Gibson a lot I guess I always help her with her math homework when I’m over there. I wish I could just do that type of math and not calculus. She came to sacrament meeting for the first time on Sunday because we had to talk. Oh yeah tell the bishop that I’ve already talked twice so that makes up the time I didn’t use back home. And everything else is going well down here the weather is still really good it, although it does get a little cold in the morning. Oh yeah mom if you could send me my monster jacket for the morning that would be nice and I cant think of any thing else well I got to go.
Love
Jason

Hey everybody, Thanks for the package, the jerky was really good. Trapper emailed me and said he got his also. He was really thankful that you sent it. Well this week has been really busy we have been teaching a lot of people. We have 2 people that are getting baptized this Saturday one of them is a 12-year-old girl she is really funny she acts like she is 14 or 15 and she is really blunt to us but she likes us, which is lucky. The other one is a 17 kid who was almost baptized but his parent wouldn’t let him but now they will so that is really cool. Well sorry I’m not going into more detail but I have 3 minutes on the computer so I have to be short well ill let you guys know how it went next week have a happy Thanksgiving!

Love ya all

Well hey every body,

Well this week has been good it has been a little chilly it got down to 37 degrees last night so I did wear the jacket you sent me. Oh yeah and it dose rain in Arizona it rain all day on Monday so it made riding a bike suck. It only rains like 3 times a year. I did send you a letter with my new address on it so you probably got that today or yesterday.

Um we did have a baptism this last week it was kind of crazy the kid decided on Thursday night that he wanted to get baptized on Saturday so we had to throw every together and try to get everybody there it turned out good though. Um oh yeah my companion is Elder Walser he is from the Seattle area. He is a pretty cool kid. Oh yeah that is really cool that Aaron roommate wants a Book of Mormon tell good job on the missionary work. Oh yeah tell Emily happy birthday and I’ll send her gift with the Christmas gifts. Well I got to get going well love you all lots

Jason called at 8 am Christmas morning. He sounded really good. Everyone got to talk to him, even Robyn and Blake on a 3-way call. One of the members there let him and his companion call on their cell phone. That was very thoughtful and generous of them. They didn’t really have a time limit but we knew of course Jason wouldn’t talk long, as you can tell from his letters. They are teaching 8 or 9 people right now. He is in charge of 3 wards and a singles ward. The less wealthy wards are more interested in helping with referrals for the missionaries, but they all like to feed them. Jason said that he hasn’t gained any weight. He ate dinner in a 5 million dollar home on Christmas Eve! There are so many kind and generous people watching out for the missionaries in Gilbert, which is so comforting for his mom!!

So far Jason has been safe on his bike. His companion flew over the handlebars once! And no dogs have chased them either. There area is one mile square so he knows it very well by now! They were going to be visiting their investigators on Christmas day so he was looking forward to that. He was also preparing a talk for Sunday’s Sacrament Meeting about the Savior!

He sends everyone his love!!
