We were pretty busy and running around a lot. We finally got some people to come to church and it was great. We had a lot of people there, so it was awesome. It was a good Sunday. I was feeling pretty sick though because Saturday we got fed dinner twice. Oh, I ate so much, it was good though. One of the meals was tripe? intestines, it is really popular here in Porto, it has a cool story, too. But it was a good week and this week will be really good, too. We have some cool things lined up for this week. We are going to visit some cool people.<br />
That is pretty sad about everybody getting sick, sounds like an interesting Thanksgiving. Make sure you get rid of all the sickness, I don´t want to get sick. How are the Jazz doing? Sounds good, I can´t wait. Well, this week will be really good and I am going enjoy it to the fullest. I love PORTUGAL. I am so grateful the Lord called me to this part of His wonderful vineyard. I love you, um so i will see you next week. Airport, 2 pm. Don´t be late, haha jk, see you soon!!<br />

We had to move Maria José´s baptismal date back just one more week to help her be a little more prepared and to help her family, too. But she is doing so well, always happy and she reads and studies the Book of Mormon so much, and is making friends with members, which is so important. So she is doing well. We found a really cool family from Venezuela this week. They are really cool and they remind me of all the awesome Venezuelan families from São João. Everything is going well, though. It is pretty crazy how little time is left. It seems pretty unreal still.<br />
That is really funny about Cameron... I bet he did so good. I wish I could have been there. Um Thanksgiving Dinner... we have to do that, I am so down for Turducken. That is crazy about Caden too, it seems like it's just one thing after another for him. But he will be ok, so that's good. Well, make sure you get something set up with the stake pres. and all of those things. Thanks for the money. I hope all is well, I love you. <br />

We found out right away that Obama won the election because as soon as we left the house that day like 4 people told us. It was kind of annoying because that's all they wanted to talk about. Well, I got another phone call from Elder Wilson this Saturday and Rui got baptized. It was so cool. I was really excited that Rui got baptized and now he will be getting married in 2 weeks. We had a good week here too, Maria José is progressing really well. Still reading the Book of Mormon a lot and we taught her the Word of Wisdom last Thursday, and since then she has stopped drinking wine, coffee and stopped smoking. It was really great, and she is always in such a good mood. A new young family also moved into the ward here in Gaia, which is very nice because this ward has a lot of old people. Maria José is marked for baptism for this Saturday so that is our focus for this week and what we will be praying for. It has been really cold here and rains everyday so that is always fun. But everything is going great.<br />

You said you were going to put some money in my account, if you could put like $53 that would be great because that way I can take out 40 euros because of the ATM. thanks. People to be there when I get home? I have already talked to Daniel and he said he is coming up for sure. That would be cool if Trent could come, but he it's a long ways away for him. And just everybody in general. That chain thing is funny. Have you talked to the stake president at all? So that we can go like right to him asap, you know? That is really cool that Elder Hallstrom came to church there. He is really cool. Well I hope you guys have a great week. I love you!<br />

Today we had interviews with Presidente Fluckiger and it was my last one besides my exit interview. It was really good, Presidente is great. I have been blessed to be able to serve under 3 amazing and inspired leaders and I have learned so much from each one of them. Presidente and Sister Fluckiger are always just so happy and it is great to see them. This weekend we also had stake conference and it was really special for me. All of the São João members were there and it was so cool to get to see all of them again and see that they are doing so well. And stake conference was great and Presidente Fluckiger spoke. We found a new investigator this week named Maria José, so we gave the Book of Mormon on Wednesday and by Saturday she was already in Mosiah 8 -- I know, so cool. She has a lot of potential and is progressing well. I got a really cool phone call on Saturday too, Elder Wilson called me and said someone wants to talk to you. It was Anica, right after her baptism. I was so happy and I was actually thinking about her all Friday. It was so cool. And yeah, those were some of the highlights of my week. It was pretty good.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That is good that Caden is all good. That is scary though, but I am glad he is ok. That is really funny about Cameron too, he is so funny, but that is really cool that he is so passionate about something. How is everybody else doing? I hope all is well. And if you could put a little money in my account that would be great. I got the card, btw. Well, I love you and miss you.</div>

Gaia is really cool. This ward is really cool, lots of old people, but they are pretty darn funny. A bunch of characters. So you finally got the flight plans, there is only going to be one other missionary with me, because one already left, but I get home earlier in the day then I thought. Make sure you tell all of that to Mike, too, so he can know. As for the homecoming talk, it can be the 16th, I am fine with that, just get that set up. That's awesome about the boys, they all sound like they are doing great. Well, by next week will we know the results of the election? Let me know how that turns out. My new comp is really cool. He is from Idaho, and he is the oldest of 6 children. Next week we have stake conference, and the branch of São João da Madeira is in this stake, so they will be there, too. So, that is kind of exciting that I will get to see all of them again. So, is Elder Oaks going to reorganize some stake stuff? That will be cool. Well, let me know how Halloween goes. I hope you guys have a great week. I love you.<div>

Well, this week was pretty cool and it just happened to be my last week in Costa da Caparica. I am going to Gaia. It is the other side of the river of Porto. So back to the north. I am really excited, I kind of missed Porto. It will be fun. I will be serving with Elder Egbert. He is in his second transfer, I am stoked, we will have lots of fun. I am excited, but a little sad because a lot of good things are going to happen here in Costa, we have like 4 people marked for baptism. But it will be fun, my last transfer, so crazy.<br />
<div>
<br />
That sounds like you had fun there in California. So the wedding was cool? I bet it was really cool to be there in that part of Cali it is so pretty there. Is his wife cool? Where are they living? Still in the Fontana area? Does he know I am coming to visit next summer-ish and we are going to a Dodgers game? :)<br />
<br />
Well everything is going well and I am excited. That is okay about the house, we will just keep praying and make sure we put the Lord´s interests first and He will bless us and it will all work out. Well, I love you and hope you have a good week. What is everybody going to be for Halloween? And Do?</div>

Sadly, Anica wasn´t baptized this weekend, but she will be soon. She is really elect, she just wasn´t quite ready. I am enjoying my time here with Elder Wilson. We had a really good fast and testimony meeting yesterday, the spirit was really strong and it was good. This is the last week of this transfer. So, almost to the last transfer now and such. So next week this time I will know where and with whom I will be serving to finish. Kind of crazy. That is crazy about the gas prices being so high. Are you excited for the wedding? You will have to let me know how is goes, and tell Rick and Wife congrats and everyone else hello. Aunt Peggy has season tickets?? Did she have good seats? Better than REMS?? I think that would be sweet if she could hook me up :) Election coming soon, it will be interesting, I don´t know anything about what is going on. But, from the little I hear sounds like Obama has the advantage for now. But things are great here. I am getting close to finishing the Book of Mormon again and Jesus the Christ, I am learning lots. I have been thinking a lot about what I will talk about when I speak in church, I have a few ideas and I will start writing it next week. Well, tell dad happy birthday and give him a hug for me. I love you, have a good week.<br />

Conference was great. We got to watch it all. There were so many things that I liked. Reoccurring themes, they talked a lot about strong families and deep conversion. And obviously Elder Holland was my favorite, I am actually listening to him again right now. It was so good and something we must all do. Other talks I really liked were, many, Elder Ballard was really cool with his beep analogy, really beautiful. I liked the special music number right after Elder Packer, that hymn was really pretty. I really liked Elder Bednar´s and Christofferson´s talks. And of course every time our beloved prophet spoke, how thankful I am to have prophet of God in these last days. Conference was great and I am excited for the next one already, mostly because I will be watching it with all of you. That is really exciting, too, about the new ages for missionaries. And will be affecting us very soon. That´s a big call, we need more missionaries and we need them now, big things ahead and a lot of work to do. We are teaching a very special young woman named Anica and she will be baptized this Saturday, she is very elect and very smart and learning very quickly. She has already had a few opportunities to bear a small testimony to others.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I talked to the office last week and they said they would be sending my flight plans that day, so you should be getting them this week. Let me know when you do. How is everything going at home? I hope you guys are doing well. Everything is great here. I love you so much.</div>

We brought some really cool people to church, and we were really blessed in that aspect. We are super stoked for conference and are hoping to get lots of people there for that. We marked a couple people for baptism this week, too. A lady named Graça, she is from Cabo Verde. And another girl named Anica, also from Cabo Verde, she is really elect. That´s cool you got a letter from Presidente Fluckiger. Did he say anything else? Yeah, I am district leader, I guess. All I have to do is talk on the phone more with other missionaries, it´s okay. You should be getting my flight plans really soon. Let me know if you haven´t received them by next week so I can notify the office. I got the letter from Brigham and Cameron. I liked it a lot and I will try and write them back and get it sent off this week. That´s cool about the house, you should find something cool. And thanks for getting the dentist thing under control. Rui is going to be baptized (we think) the first week of November. We are just waiting for his girlfriend´s dad to come here to baptize him. So that will be really cool. That´s kind of a silly story about Caden, but kind of funny. Let me know my flight plans when you get them, and anything else that´s cool. Well, I hope you guys have a good week, btw you don´t have to keep reminding me about the time I have left :) it will go by fast. Make sure you have everyone watch conference and then tell me their favorite speaker from this one. I am so stoked about new temples and new stuff. I love general conference. I love you.<div>

I guess I will tell you what we used it for. Um, we have a really sweet golf course in our area, so yeah, you guessed...it we went golfing. It was pretty sweet. A really fun experience. Elder Wilson is pretty good, he beat me, but only by a little. How is everything going back home? So you guys went down to STG for the show?? It was cool right? I miss STG. Yeah, Daniel better be there when I get home. I was thinking, too, when I get home like within the first 2 days or so I would really like to go to the denist and orthodonist. Well, this week was pretty cool. We are finding lots of cool people with lots of potential. We found a cool guy on Saturday that came to church and liked it. Elder Wilson is really cool and helping like Costa a lot more, he loves this place. Well I hope all is well back home. Send me a longer email next week :) I will try and write Caden and Zack, too. I love you.<div>

Well, we had a really good week. Elder Wilson is awesome, he is a really hard worker. We found some pretty cool people this week. Costa is cool and there is a pretty good chance that I will be here until the end, but I don´t know. I can just wait until I get home for stuff. I only have like 2 1/2 months, but who is counting, right? So, a few letters would be nice, but all other stuff can wait. Things are going really well. Ha, we were with Elder and Sister Henry yesterday, they gave us a ride home from church, and right before we got out of the car he told us well Utah beat BYU last night 24-21. It made me happy, I felt bad because he likes BYU, but what do you do, it´s UTAH. But besides that, everything is going well. Caden looks good, he is so big. Yeah, you guys better read everyday. I can´t wait for conference, it seems like we just had GC, but all the better. I watched Elder Holland´s devotional last p-day, it was so good. Elder Holland is my hero. Well, I love you guys. Tell Caden and Zack to email me. Have a good week.<br />

It went really well, it was awesome. Almost the whole mission was there. Sadly, Elder Nelson had to leave before meeting with us to go to Russia to organize a second stake there. But, I got to hear him a lot in the MTC, so it was okay. But, we had Elder Rasband, Elder Teixeira, Elder Richards, and Bishop Caussé. Elder Rasband was so cool. He just let us ask questions and then they would all take turns speaking and answering the questions. I enjoyed every minute of it! Elder Richards has like the coolest genealogy going back to the first convert to the church, Willard Richards, then Franklin D. Richards, George Franklin Richards, and LeGrande Richards, all former members of the Quorum of the Twelve. Today was transfers, I am staying here and getting a new companion, Elder Wilson. I am pretty excited, I met him once and he is cool. He is from Salt Lake and lived in Brasil for a while. So, only 2 more transfers :) That is to bad that McLane is moving. Well, how is everyone else? How are the boys? I love you, have a good week.<div>

We had interviews on Tuesday, they went really well. I really like President Fluckiger, he is great. So, then the other day the bus we were on smashed into a car. It was kind of scary, but I saw it all coming and happen. The bus driver just didn´t see the car. But, thankfully everyone was just fine. One guy in the car got a cut on his arm and was bleeding, and his mother was hysterically freaking out and crying and completely over-reacting, I just think she was scared. Neat experience though, I guess. So we had a couple cool lessons this week. One with the couple I talked about last week. It was cool and they are progressing really well. So, you guys had a good week right? How is the weather back home? Are you guys going to find me a job, a good one :) Well I love you guys, have a good week!<div>

I miss you guys so much. Well, we had a really good week. This really cool family we have been teaching finally came back from a vacation, so now we can start teaching again. Tomorrow we will have our first interviews with new President Fluckiger, so I am pretty excited. Interviews are always pretty special. Well, I hope you guys are doing well. Sounds like everything is going pretty well. I love you.<div>

We had a good week. We have a new missionary couple that are going to be here working with us in our area, so that will be pretty cool and help the work move forward. Also, here in 2 weeks we will have a conference with Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorom of the Twelve. And a number of other members of the Quorum of the 70, such as Elder Rasband, Elder Teixeira, Elder Richards, and Bishop Caussé, so that will be awesome. I am pretty stoked for that. Sounds like everyone is doing really well, summer went pretty fast, back to school. Caden looked good, that is a funny shirt. Thanks for the money btw. Well tell everyone that I love them and wish them luck with school. And good job for Zack with scouts. And Cameron with the broken window, welcome to the club of CCWB (Club of Classy Window Breakers). How is dad doing? How is work? I love you have a good week. Everyone and MOM :)<div>

Make sure you send me some pictures. How is everybody doing? Excited for school? See what you can do about my checking card thing, because it expires in October, just in case I need it come November.

A missionary couple that is leaving in two weeks made breakfast for us this morning. It was awesome, pancakes and eggs and hash browns, mmm. Our week was pretty good though. I got to see one women's race and a lady fall off her horse in the Olympics, so nothing really too exciting. Well, I hope you guys have a good week, and be safe. I love you.<div>

But, a lot of people got moved around. Well, our week was cool. We are teaching this new couple named Silvio and Raquel. They just showed up to church a few weeks ago and they really liked it. That is awesome that Trent is home, I can´t believe it went so fast. That is cool that Rick is getting married again. How are the boys? They already start school in like 4 weeks or so? Anything cool going on back there? Well, I hope everything is going really well back home. I love you guys.<div>

Caden finally emailed me, what a pleasant surprise. Well, we had a super cool lesson with Rui and the stake president here, it went really, really well. We ate a ton of food, I am still full. How is everybody else doing? That is awesome that Trent is home, time passes so fast. Today we went to the mall and I bought some really cool ties, I got a really good deal. They were on sale, buy two get one free, but when I got up there the lady was like, "special" and gave me buy one get two free. She said that it was right. I am finally in a place that has a mall and they have summer sales right now, so that´s great ;) well anything else cool going on back home? Hope you guys are great. Oh yeah, we found a lady from South Africa and she speaks English, so we taught her in English, it was so hard. But it was a super good lesson, and at first she didn´t really even want to talk. I love you, have a good week.<div>

Ours was pretty good, too. We had a really good church meeting and there were so many people there, the most in a while. We got some of the less actives to show up, which is always good. We got a lot of work done this week. Our investigator Rui is doing really well. People don´t even know he is not a member at church, it´s great. So, are all the fires in Utah pretty much under control now? Have you heard anything about Trent, he should be home?? So how is Caden doing? He should email me one of these day :) How is Uncle Rick? Are Candice and Paul gonna visit again? Here is something cool, I am going to want a new suit before I come home, so that is pretty much the last thing I will need some money for. And I can get a real good European suit for like $120. So let me know if you guys can help me out. Time is going by real fast, its super weird. Only like 4 and a half months. How are the dogs doing? I don´t really know what to say, my emails are boring, I will do better. But we are doing good, I really like my area and ward. I love Portugal. And I love you guys, have a great week.<br />

It was fun. We met our new <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1342229592_0">mission president</span>, President Fluckiger and Sister Fluckiger, they are so awesome. I love them. They are from Texas and they are super nice. Things are going to be good with them. That is super scary about the fire. That was really close to the house, too. That is a huge blessing though that no houses were lost. But, that is going to create flooding problems next spring when all the snow melts and there are no trees or plants to stop the water. How are the boys doing? How is work? How´s Dad? How´s the ward? How is Caden and football? And Zack with LAX?? Oh man, it was awesome last week at our Zone Conference with President. Elder Pilz was there, it was my last time seeing him because he goes home the end of this month. And Elder Wheatley was there, too. It was super cool. We are doing pretty good here though. We are teaching this man named Rui, he is 33 and an architect. He is dating a member and she is helping him a lot. But Rui is awesome, he didn´t really believe in GOD, but he is progressing really well. He prays like a champ and is reading a lot and getting closer to baptism. What else is going on in Utah, anything fun? Portugal is doing great. But, I love you guys and hope everything is great. <br />

I had a good one. We got a new mission president, it´s really weird, but I will get to meet him this week, I am way stoked. It looks like you guys had lots of fun at the cabin, I can't wait to go next year. Everything is going really well. It is weird to think that Pres. Torgan is gone, but Pres. Fluckiger sounds awesome and I can´t wait to meet him. Costa da Caparica is great, too. Super pretty and I really, really like this ward, a lot! Well, I love you guys, hope you are doing good. Have a good week.<br />

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you. How was your week?? Mine was sweet, it was actually my last week in Tomar. I GOT TRANSFERED!! I am going to Costa da Caparica, it is the other side of the river from Lisboa. It is going to be sweet...I am so stoked. I am going to miss Tomar, but I am so happy. I wanted to go more south and see more places. Oh, I am going to be serving with Elder Barr. He is from my MTC district. He is great, and I always thought that I was going to serve with him. Now I cannot even remember what all happened this week. It was a good week though :) That is awesome about Zack´s game, I am so excited for him. And Caden, too. He is so awesome and more manly than me. What position has he been playing and how does a 7 on 7 work? How was Fathers Day? Did you guys do something special? I don´t want to be 21 though. HELLO COSTA DA CAPARICA!</div>

How's it going? Glad that you guys are all doing good. That is so cool that you guys love LAX and keeping busy with that. We had a pretty good week. A bunch of members from a different ward from down south came up here to help us and it went really well thankfully, it helped a lot. It is now the last week of the transfer, alot of missionaries go home this transfer like 25 or something, so there will be a few changes, and then 2 weeks later President Fluckiger gets here. Things are going good though. Tomar is nice, it's really hot here, but a nice little city. We are teaching some pretty cool people, too. But I am glad you guys are doing good. I love you and hope you guys have a great week.<br />
