Ok you fellow followers of the blogs......I am attempting to get caught up with my son's mission blog. I so appologize for being so bad at getting this done. Its been really hard to keep up on both his and Tori's blog. Sister Houston will be home in a couple of weeks, so hopefully in the next few weeks i can get some pictures on and get caught up on Mitchells mission....He is doing so good and i want everyone to see what a fantastic mission he is already having. Please write to him!!

hey its me again,
sssup from missouri! ha. Oh man this week been pertty ordinary....until this weekend!!!! now its was awesome!! so first i will tell you about shay and jason. they are the hippies i told you about they are so cool i love them. but any way so we had not heard from them like in a few weeks and were getting kinda worried. then i was reading your letter that you wrote me mom about how tori was having that same problem with one of her invistigators and you said hers worked out great. soo i started to not worry as much. then like later that same day we got news that they are going to get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! so awesome its not till October buttttt they are totally set on it and they have even set a baptism date right after!!!!!! on the 14th of that month!!!!!. it was seriously the coolest thing aw i love them ! haha and we get to go to the wedding ha its gonna be so cool she wants tie die dresses and hers is going to be like patch work white or something and everyones going to be bare foot hahaha. she ever is wanting to get baptised in a river ahah oh man im soooo pumped.
then also we saw jack again this weekend and ha we got him to cry again hah a good cry tho and helping him to want to read the book of mormon more! like along with the bible. oh man he is coming soooooo far he is the coolests dude ha and he loves me and elder blatter ha he gets so excited when we come over we always have such a great lesson with him its soo crazy. i dont think he knows that he is teaching me soo much every time we go to teach him ha. he has such a strong spirit with him its so cool. haha oh and get this he loves cowboy western stuff like me!! ha he was showing me all his sweet movies and collects the coolest old antique stuff too haha hes awesome i wish you could meet him! ha. haha oh one thing that was pretty nasty about dinner tho ha. so he been having depression proplems because the army and he been addicted to pain pills bad and he just went through that nasty divorce with his wife that he still loves like ALOT ha but any way so he had not been out in a while and apparently been in his fridge lately ha. so when we made dinner he wanted some milk with it and you know i cant say no to milk ha. so we all got huge glasses. haha like it tasted kinda funny at first but i just thought its probably like fat free or something ha. and milk is alot so i just drank it. hah well after he left the room we checked it just to see hahah and it was expired!!!!!!!!! it was so sour haha. so we had some stomac probs just a lil that night ha but not too bad.
so i cant remember if i told you at all about amber but she is an investigator that i met like on my second day here. she is a newly single mother of 4 boys. she just got a divorce from a highly abusive husband :(. like if i could meet this dude i would oh man! totally jerk. she is the nicest funniest lady. like that guy is a tard. but any way she is so cool like just knowing her for the couple weeks we do me and elder baltter love her. she just has this different way of looking at things she notices things alot of people would miss. ha shes awesome lets just say that ha any way we taught her on saturday and the spirit was soooo strong like i was even crying like a lil baby with her haha she trust us soo much i told want to say too much but she was telling us how she left him and everyone gave her sooo much crap for it because he was rich and all this stuff and she feels so bad because her boys miss him. and man she loves her boy sooo much and she is just been through sooo much more than i could even imagine and still is and now struggling with money and man it seriously tares me apart to think anyone has to go through what she has and yet stilll she stays soooo strong and knows it will be ok and is growing so much and loving the gospel its so cool to see it makes this work so great.
but sorrry gotta go hope i made sense in all that has been going on. i had to type fast love you all and just want you to know this is the full true restored gospel i know it with out a doubt in my heart and it blesses soooooo many lives and god loves and knows each and everyone of us as individuals. love you family i will write ya hopefully this week some time thank you for everything.!!
