Halloween

That's awesome that Jake got his eagle. What is Hannah supposed to be? I had a good Halloween. I got to carve some pumpkins and I'm not trying to brag but my was pretty awesome. Yes I love my companion, I was with him in the MTC so that's cool. I'll put some pictures of my amazing pumpkin but that is pretty much all that happened. I don't know what else to say so. Talk to ya later. Elder Tomlinson.

Things in the mission field are going great. Nothing new really to report. I am still but my companion in now Elder Wadsworth and we are getting along great! We  were in the MTC together so it is pretty fun to have a comp that you have known your whole mission. Sorry about not writing last week but things just got really hectic and president doesn't want us emailing after 6 and before I knew it,it was already past that time. Finally Jake got his eagle. It's really nice to hear about all the people who are just going out on mission because then I just get to come home before all those suckers. lol. that wast laugh out loud that was a person drowning. I don't have a copy of my blessing, I forgot to bring it with me and I tried getting one from online but salt lake say that our Patriarch never sent it to them. I'll try to keep up the good work but California is California. Talk to ya later.

Things are still moving along here in the mission, it must have been impossible to get Hannah to clean it out as always. There's a great talk I have been wanting to tell you about for a while now. It's called "His Grace is Sufficient" by Brad Wilcox. it was a devotional given at BYU. Its really great and will give you and entirely different perspective on the Atonement. Transfers came up and I am getting Elder Wadsworth. I was in MTC with him, he is a cool guy and i will really enjoy being comps with him. Our investigators right now will take some time before there are anywhere exciting teaching wise. Here is another picture of my recent convert Blake. He is awesome. He's on house arrest right now for something he did a year ago but the mission president said it was okay to baptise him so we did. You can see his ankle monitor in the picture. He still has thirty days left on it which means I will be here when he gets off. It's so amazing the see the gospel bring miracles in his life. So I took the challenge to ponderize scriptures and right now I am ponderizing 1 Thessalonians 5:16. Hope you guys have spooky court of honor.

Service Project

I did have a good pday. The baptism was amazing and I really enjoyed
being a part of it.

As my ward mission leader, who is way too old to be using these kind
of word so, said general conference was Awesome. In all caps just like
that. My favorite talk was probably the one Elder Utchdorf(if that's
how you spell it) talk during priesthood session. I don't know if you
saw that one or not. I recently watched a talk by Brad Wilcox called
His Grace is Sufficient. I don't know if you have seen it already but
if not it is a really good talk and I would highly recommend it.

Isn't there a saying that a dog takes after it's master? Just kidding.
You can't blame Carly, the last dog she was around was Scout and he
died so....

Nothing has really changed in the mission field, transfers are next
week so idk what will be happening there. 

 Here are some photos of me at a
service project this last week. I don't know why one of them is in
black and white, my companion is kinda a photography geek. Talk to ya
later.

Baptism

Yes, the baptism went really well and I did the confirmation, I was really nervous so I'm not sure how I did as far as that goes. Blake is probably the best investigator I have had so far he never faltered when we were teaching him and he is probably the only person I've baptized where it's not even a concern if he won't stay active. he is on fire. I attached some pictures of us at the baptism. That's awesome that Jake's team is winning so much. Too bad he doesn't get to play very often. You'll have to send me a picture of the dog Devon got just because i miss having a dog. I'm always at a person's house and they dog come up to me and they are like "sorry, 'll get him off you" and I say "no, please let them stay" so it's funny. nothing much else is going on here. talk to ya later.

Baptism this saturday!!!!

I have a baptism this Saturday! Our investigator, Blake, is getting baptized and he wants me to confirm him. I am pretty nervous since I have never done that before but I think I will be alright. He is probably the most solid investigator I have had my entire mission so far. I am so excited to see him get baptized especially since when he goes to the temple I will be able to go with him which will be awesome also. Not much else has happened here in the past week. We had transfers a while ago but they didn't affect me. I was pretty sick on Saturday but I am feeling a lot better. We played 21 today and I made everyone look like a fool on the court. Let me know what is going on down in Missouri and I'll make sure to get you some pictures of the baptism on Saturday. Talk to ya later.

Labor Day

Things are kinda boring here as well. I hurt my toe really bad today jumping down some stairs and it's bruised really bad. One of my investigators drives sprint cars and he let me get to see it and he turned the engine on and it was loud! Four cylinders and louder than any truck I heard before. Here's a picture.
