Hey family before I forget I wanted to give a shout out to Jessica - thanks for the letter I really appreciate it. I have been thinking about shipping stuff home so I'll keep that in mind. So how would I use your account thing? So I have no idea what is upin SLC but I do have the munchies for Beto's ha ha you can have the family vote on what ever place they wanna go eat because to be honest I don't really care ha ha. Kyle are you enjoying doing track? So it's kinda funny that dad brought up the whole Mother's day and Father's day talks because guess what I am speaking on Mother's day for the Westfield Ward ha ha I laughed so hard because this will be my 2nd or 3rd time since '08 or '09 that I talked on Mother's day I guess I haven't learned how to appreciate mom :) So I am nervous about that because it's going to be at a missionary's homecoming.
Well this past week we had success again. We finally taught a "other lesson" to a investigator named Tyrone and he is super kind and friendly. Then we continue to have success with the less actives. In fact on Sunday we visited with the H family but when we got there it was only Sister H then see was shoveling sand for a yard project she was doing so Elder Tobchan and I started to help her in our church clothes. I was still in my suit pants so they kinda got dirty so I might need some extra money for dry cleaning ha ha but that was a really neat experience helping her because one, it was really fun and Sis. H is really cool but you could tell it touched her heart so it was neat. Oh also Sunday was fast and testimony meeting since next week we have Stake Conference so I realized near the end of the meeting this would be my last fast and testimony meeting in Houston so I got up and bore my testimony. It's so crazy how fast the mission is coming to a end, it feels like a dream, like it's not gonna happen.
I love y'all send my love to the Hunt's for me.

My Testimony
My Testimony:
I know that the Atonement is real and that we can all enjoy the cleansing power that it provides. I am grateful for my Savior for performing the Atonement so that I can return to my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for missionary service. I am thankful that missionaries world-wide have the opportunity to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. I know that the Bible and The Book of Mormon are inspired scriptures and are here for our behalf. I owe everything to all of those prophets of old that loved us so much and desired so much for our salvation to write down the words on how we can be saved. We are literally children of a loving Heavenly Father and He wants us to return to Him. I know that Jesus is the Christ. And I love the joy the gospel brings with the knowledge that we can be together with our families for all eternity.
