Holy moly!!!!!!!! such an awesome week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so i dont even know where to start ! so ill start first by saying i totally forgot to tell you this week was transfer calls .. dont worry im staying haha and so is my comp! which is awesome cuz i love this guy!. ok so we got the call and it was elder treasure ha he is the new AP but we were like wait why you calling if no one is staying or going. oh man such a change. so they are taking the missionaries out of chesterfield!! crazy huh ya. but thats not all haha..... so they made it a part of our area! haha so i cover chesterfield again!! so now we cover the entire bottom half and some of springfield!. oh it doesnt end there haha we get ..... a CAR!! woooo haha no more biking in record braking tempts! haha so crazy. so now we cover there ward and all there investigators and all our ward and investigators. its so cool. pres merkley and shumway are defiantly in tune! at first i thought oh i guess i was just needed in southern hills and its good for my health stuff but little did i know that the Lord had a plan. he knew this would happen and that he would need some one who would know the areas and people. and its so crazy because pres shumway and merkley didnt exchange any info they couldnt, your not aloud. so it was pure and divine beautiful inspiration. man i love this work! haha so cool! we are going to be sooo busy and time is just going to fly by. its sad to know that we are lacking in missionaries though. there are so many men and women that have no idea what they are missing the joy so much to the consumming of your flesh!! i have known no truer happyness then this.
we got to go over to talk with courtnie, that lady i taught for 7 months who was just baptized and so much change has happend all around her. she is so happy her family has changed sooo much. they all get along so much more and to see how much at peace they are. her daughter is now learning more. when before she use to fight with her mom that she would NEVER be a mormon. and now courtnie is getting married to an awesome guy who is now really investigating the church and his daughter. it is the ripple effect of the gospel. so beautful to be able to whitness. i truely felt that i was just a small pebble that didnt do much in my mission but as the ripples have traveled and time has gone by i was bless by the Lord to be able to see the effects of what i and many others have done. and truely how great is my joy. the scriptures have proved themselfs again D&C 18:15 ha. so future missionaries you are needed it is never too late to go. i have had wonderful time meeting missionaries of all ages. our district leader is 25 so get ready to go you will never regret it. the Lord will bless you and you will have so much fun and learn soooo much and become spiritual physically mentally straigthened. i know this to be true with all my heart and am a living witness to it
i love you all sooooo much. i totally want to see anthanys pictures!! oh and i wrote to john and kim this last week. i so happy all went well with the blessing.
talk to you next week and ill prob write you too talk to you later
love elder houston
