24 Jan—Houston

Hey family and friends,

Well, this week was really cool. We had the coolest zone activity ever, which consisted of 500 balloons, 1100 dots and a cool chair maze. We basically did a big relay race thing, and it was a lot of fun. My trainer and I did one of those for the zone when I was back in Galveston; so it was a lot easier to do it the second time.

We had two confirmations this last Sunday, and it was great. Max and Steven were confirmed, and we are still teaching their mother and older brother. They are really cool, and the mom really likes us a lot. She is happy that her sons were able to be baptized. They are from Honduras. That is the cool thing about serving here in Houston; we get to meet people from all over the place like Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru. It is great and it is cool to hear the different accents.

We are going to have a baptism this Saturday. DJ our 10 year old buddy is going to be baptized. It is really cool. He was a referral from his aunt. His mom is less active but has been coming to church the past couple of weeks, and we love that family a lot! They are great and she cooks some really good Mexican rice!

Elder Scavo is a really good companion, his mom served her mission in Italy. He lives in Palmdale, and wants to go to BYU when he gets back. He is just going to go home and stay with his mom for a little bit.

I guess other news, I hit the year and a half mark. This is really crazy that my mission is going by fast, and there is still so much work to do here. I wish the time would slow down a bit. The worst part about it all is that I am probably getting transferred, and then the time is really going to go by fast, because that always happens when you go to a new area!


Well see ya later here are some pictures.
