apparently this young man had the same scripture pen as the missionaries....too cute!!!
Having some fun on their preparation day!!! Bowling yah!!
Ok so funny story about these two pictures....look closely and see if you can tell who that is?? YES.... uncle Steve...haha. He was driving thru Springfield to drop off a dumptruck for a guy. He called kevin and asked Mitchell's address....so it happens that Mitchell is right along the freeway that steve is traveling on, soooo then he says i am gonna stop by the apartment and see if they are home. ok so missionaries are never home except after 10pm. Its about 8pm...but it so happened that Mitchell and Elder Treasure stopped home to grab something before their next appointment .....and low and behold someone knocks on the door....haha so they hugged and took a few pictures and then they were all back on the way to there destinations.....what a sweet treat for Elder Houston and uncle Steve.

Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey everyone how goes it Mom !! you rock i loved that email it made my week, already the best email ever! im so glad you all liked the picture and goodies ! ha sorry took so long to get it out there. ! haha dang! there were 400 pictures?? man ha thats alot, my bad ha. haha and sorry about the yawns its tough work out here, haha i POOPED. ya i kinda thought about taping over that was a bad idea, but i didnt think it would be that long. sorry i will use a new tape next time. im so glad primary liked the letter !! i was afraid it wouldnt work out on the tape so i just wrote as the spirit directed ha. im glad they liked it. it was the least i could do for all they and you did for me. i have been really bad on sending out thank yous. like for christmas and my birthday so PLEASE tell every one you see or when you talk to them thank you soooooo much from elder houston i love you all!!! thats so crazy cooper turning 16 !!!!!!! holy moly!! he a old fart! hahah tell him happy birthday for me and to watch out for them girls! they nothin but trouble ! haha.
well this week was another great one and kinda crazy to think like in three more months i will be at my one year mark!!!!!!!!!! that is so crazy!! time is going wayyy too fast i need to figure out how to slow it down. everything i try is not working !! haha heeeelp. but ya so this week.... on thursday we had zone conference and i love zone conference soooo much. its like a spiritual boost as well and a missionary work booster. i just want to go out and baptize the world!.. and the pope!.. hopefully the new president(of the US) will be lds already haha :) but ya this zone conference was especially delicious. Pres. Merkleys closing remarks were such a testimony builder for me and gave me a deeper appreciation for my Father as well as my Father in Heaven. he talked about becoming sons a moses and of aaron and how our fathers dont hold anything back from us because there love for us. they are not scared that we will become too great or too happy or how ever we may think. he just wants the best for us and the only thing getting in the way of those blessing are ourselves. He talked alot more about it and it was so amazing, i wish i could replay the experience for you all, but i not the greatest note taker ha sorry but i will remember it always in my heart and mind, and testimony as it continues to grow. Pres. merkley talked alot the time when he came out with us and it was such a confidence booster for me and was such a good feeling that i am doing what i am suppose to do. ha that dang man made us both start tearing up. i really have a special spot in my heart for him and all that he does for us and am going to really miss him when he is released in june :(. but i am ready to "wait upon the Lord" as said by Elder Robert D. Hales in this last general conference. i read that talk this morning and it has testified to me again of the importance that i let go of mine own wants and desires and to let go of pride and allow the Lord to do his work and glory through me, as i take steps of faith and act according to righteous principals, i will gradually see Gods plan taking shape in my life, and will be brought back into the bright sunlight of Gods love.
i love you all so much and thank you for the awesome email! cant wait to here from yall next week !!
so much love,
elder houston
