Question... Kenna mentioned something about a girl that is staying at the house? Is she going to be there when we talk. Who is she? how did you meet her? Sorry for the questions (I didnt really understand Kennas Spanish.... hahahahahaha sorry)  Well hope everything is doing good. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I dont know what else to say because I will see you tomorrow. So You have one day to finish your homework. Love you guys 

Talk to you tomorrow. SEE YA ;)

About the phone call home, I can use Skype and I am going to do it on Christmas the 25th... We are going to have to use mine for both of the calls. He is going to call his family at 5:00 and then I will call you when he is done. Like 6:15-6:45. Unless you guys can't and if you cant just tell me next week so we can hurry and set everything good. The mission Christmas party was o.k. It was different from last year but it was still good. :) I had fun. They call Santa, Santa here... hahaha

The area I am in is really big and has a lot of potential to be really good. But with the companion I have and not being able to knock on doors and all these little changes, it is taking more time than it should to flourish... But I am now just trying to focus on starting it up good for the next Elders that are going to be here. I don't know what I like more... Being in the city or far away from everything; they both have their perks.

As for the going home, I have no idea what is going to happen. I assume I am going to stay in my area until Sunday night. I hope so at least. I don't think that we are going to go to the temple either. I don't know if I ever told you guys, but for this last change, I am District Leader. Nothing too big and it is a lot different than I thought it would be. 

Well I don't know what else to write. You have a week left to do your homework. Talk to ya next week hahahaha Love you guys.!

Your favorite son ;) hehehehe

     I am doing good, things have gotten slightly better, I think my companion is getting tired of me trying to tell him to stop doing some of the things that he does. But it has gotten better. So this last week we got to go to a sealing of a family in the ward, it was really cool but not what I was expecting at all... It was a lot shorter than I was expecting. hahaha But it was still really good. That is good that Jenni is doing good with the baby, they looked awesome. I am excited to get home to be able to see her, (the baby, not Jenny... hahahaha).

     They have not told us anything about the Christmas phonecall yet. But as soon as I know you will know, dont worry. We are going to have our ward Christmas party not this Thursday but in two weeks. I am excited for it. But they kinda do it weird where every family brings their own food and the ward really doesnt do anything. For New Years I would like to see as many people as possible hahaha Family and what friends I have left that arent on their missions... Riley is actually the only one I can think of that I really want to see. Tell him he needs to come at least say hi to me but doesnt have to stay. He can leave and go to his parties... hahahaha oh, and all the friends from the ward. And if it is possible I would like some Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup... :) with bread bowls :) hehehe.

     I am making a list of things to tell you this phone call to set everything good for when I get home and what I want to do and stuff like that... Cause I know you will be asking, so I will try to be prepared. hahahaha Just make sure to bring a couple blankets so I dont freeze... Hahaha I am really dreading the cold... 

     Well Talk to ya in 2 weeks and see ya in 3 ;) hahaha Have a good week everyone!!!!

Love Elder Evans

     My companions attitude is absolutely horrible. I dont think that he can say anything good about anyone that is not his friend in the mission or in the ward. He always talks about things he shouldnt and he is way to preocupied about things that dont concern the mission. He also doesnt stop talking about how bad he wants to get home and out of the mission. I am super frustrated right now. Because I dont know the area to take over and I cant contact people in the streets so I dont know what else to do. I think I am just going to punch him to bring him to his senses and start working. Actually, what I have heard is that he has been like this pretty much his whole mission. He has had like 18 companions and like 10 areas. That is way not normal and it is because no one wants him. At least the other kinda bad companions kinda worked and wanted to do it. He just complains about everything and doesnt want to do more than eat, play soccer, and thats about it....

     Sounds like all the Christmas stuff went up good... The week before I left Carmen (my last area) We helped an awesome family set up their Christmas tree and Christmas stuff. That family was awesome and I miss them a lot. It was really fun though. I am super excited to see all these changes that have happened to the house... hahaha 

     Lucky! hahaha I really liked New York, it was really fun. We did some awesome stuff out there hahaha Well remember to do your homework. I am trying super hard not to die too, but it is really hard... I am going to try to change a lot of things with him so that the work can change and get better but I dont think he is going to like it or even want to do it. So I guess we will see how that goes. 

     Well hope your week in NY goes well and the girls do good in their schooling and stuff. When are their breaks this year? Have a good week, do your homework, and talk to ya next week :)

Hey Mom,

     I am doing good, I actually kinda forgot about Thanksgiving... I dont even remember the date that it falls on, like the third Thursday or something like that. I am sure the injury has got to be ruff on her, I know it was for me to be watching everyone play and not be able to do really anything to help them. You can cheer... but it isnt the same. I am glad that she isnt letting it get to her though. Now she just needs to know that she needs to come off of this injury sprinting and be even stronger when she gets back.

     No you didnt tell me that Kenna made the basketball team! hahaha That is awesome, and I with her am super excited to see her play. I dont know how much of a help I will be to her because I havent really played basketball in two years... But I will try to help her... haha

     Glad you liked my letter, just remember to do the homework. ;) hahahaha I actually told my companion while I was putting it in the drop box thing that when you got the letter you would probably cry... hahahahahahahahaha I still kinda know you even after two years being gone ;) hahahaha I honestly dont need anything, and even if I did I wouldnt ask for it... There really is no need, seeing that I will be coming home this month. I am leaving a lot of things behind in this house because I just dont want to take it because I know I will just leave it behind when I leave. Dont worry, I am sure I will stil be a por driver when I get home. Just a few review crashes and I should be set ;) hahaha

     Well unfortunately I am being changed again... I am not very excited about it either. I am now going to be in Hidalgo, Villahermosa. My companions name is Elder V. So I dont really know what to expect because I have never been to Villahermosa before except for when I pass through it on the bus and then I am usually asleep so I really have no idea. We had so much good planned this December to do here. We have like 4 baptisms ready, lots of good activities, and the members were getting excited to start working with this new way. So next week I will let you know all the details about the new area and everything.

     Well Thats about it for me, Hope everybody is still doing good and doing their homework. Be Happy and always remember to smile.

Hey mom, We just had one baptism this last Saturday :) It went really well and we have like 3 or 4 that we are preparing right now for their own baptisms. :) So things are going good :) NO we never have any big things like that for the youth, except for last Saturday and today they went paintballing. That is awesome that McKenna got her card on her birthday :) That means Dad got his card? I dont remember what cards got sent home together hahaha. Well I am doing good, nothing really too new here... hahah Changes are next week, and my companion wants to leave.. hahaha not because of me but because he has been in the area three transfers and if he stays with me to "kill" me, he will be here for at least 5 transfers. And that is a long time. Everything is going good though: I am doing good and Sounds like you all are too :)

 

Love You guys, have a good week :) In just 6 weeks I will be home to hug ;) hahahahahahaha

 

Love Elder Evans

Well I also dont really have much to write about this week.... hahaha We had a good week though. Just all the stuff that happened is just normal stuff that you have already heard. This last Sunday it was Stake Conference. It was this stakes first conference and it was really really good. We had 5 people in church and we have two baptismal dates. One for this week and the week after too :) They are super ready and they are awesome people too :) I have had lots of fun teaching them.

Wow... look at you guys go hahaha you already had mormon.org accounts. hhahaha I honestly dont really know how this is all going to work with using the internet and stuff. But that is why we are going to be studying it for 2 hours a week... hahaha Yes I do remember my Facebook password.  I am 98% sure that is it. If I am right, I will have a lot of friend requests... hahahaha

Kenna and Dad should be getting cards soon... hahahaha hopefully that is.... Well I really dont know what else to write... hahaha I had my temple interview with President Casteñeda this last Saturday and passed ;) hahaha But it only lasts unitl January, so I will need to have an interview with the bishop set up.Oh, I also ate cow heart... that was weird. It didnt taste bad, but it did taste different. I also got a flu shot yesterday... My arm is kinda sore today now though.

Well to end I am going to share three things I learned or liked in the Stake Conference:

1. In Stake Conference, if there is not an Apostle there the Stake President represents them and is basically an Apostle in these two hours of conference.

2. "To receive Celestial Glory we HAVE to give more than a terrestial effort."

3. "God´s love is unconditional, but his blessings are conditioned"

 

Well hope you guys have a good week. :) Happy Birthday Kenna if the card doesnt get to you in time.
