November 12th, 2012


Hey family.
Yes I heard about the elections it was a real disappointment.  I thought for sure Romney was going to take it but I knew it would be close.  I think it’s just because I’ve been around a lot of people here in Texas that really liked Romney.  And yeah it was good light for the church a lot of people really liked and respect him.  But oh well hopefully Obama doesn’t do too much these next for years.  But yeah so many lazy and wicked people voted for Obama I think it’s a sign that the nations is just growing more wicked like in Book of Mormon times.  Well we had a good day at church yesterday.  Mike and his wife and two of his kids came to sacrament meeting.  It was really good to have them there I think that they enjoyed it.  We will have to see if we can’t keep teaching them.  This week we also met a dad and his daughter who is 23 and she's in a wheelchair since a few years ago because of a car accident.  And she has a 2 or 3 year old son.  Anyways we really only talked to them for like 10 minutes in their driveway and the dad said he really wants his daughter in a church and he said he's heard good things about the Mormons and so we gave them the time and address and they said they would come on Sunday.  So the 3 of them ended up coming also.  The girls name is Ashley and she really liked it and wants to come back she said.  In relief society they talked about a campout and the ward is having this weekend that’s close to the church and she said she would be interested in going to it and having the dinner but not camping overnight.  So hopefully that will go well.  The dad named Ken seemed to like it but I think it just took him time to get comfortable being in a place and around people he didn’t know.  He said he wanted to come to support his daughter and so we're not sure if he will keep coming.  But yeah anyways it was good at church yesterday.  This week was cool we were just knocking on doors and it was late and a nice Mexican family invited us in for a bowl of what’s called Menudo.  It was probably the most interesting thing I’ve eaten in my life.  It was basically pig stomach! Ha-ha.  We were both able to eat our bowls but it was tuff to make it seemed like we liked it ha-ha.  Then when it was all gone they wanted to get us more but we insisted we were full ha-ha.  But it was really cool we just shared a scripture from the book of Mormon and then left, they weren’t too interested in the church but enjoyed the thought.  Waxing the car last Monday was fun it did bring back good memories.  But I think I took a lot more time and did a better job on my car than I did on the mission car ha-ha.  But it turned out nice and shiny.   We haven’t talked to the Leatham's since then one night at dinner; he is the one who has the cancer.  We really need to get back over there.  But I’m glad that Beaver and it sounds like all of Utah got some snow.  Hopefully it will make up for last year.  I’m glad that Candace is a good driver and that her truck does well.  But yeah that will be a big project for us building that fence ha-ha.  Have you thought about the kind that you want?  It will be nice when it’s all done.  President Jones announced that transfers will be the day after Thanksgiving so that will be good.  Hopefully I get to stay I’m really thinking I will.  But yeah we are at least having Thanksgiving at the bishop’s house and I’m sure we will be to other people’s houses too.  It will be a fun day and it almost just a week away it’s crazy.  We will start seeing Christmas lights go up and listening to Christmas music.  That will be fun having Thanksgiving down in St. George.  What is Tyson’s family going to do?  What about Chan?  Bryce told me he's excited for a Thanksgiving meal since he hasn’t had one for the past 2 year’s ha-ha.  Well Court that’s awesome that you’re on the freshman team!  I’m sure you will have a great team and you'll have a lot of experience for next year.  Yeah they probably didn’t want to cut just one girl so this probably worked out best.  I’m excited to see how your season goes for you.  I’m glad your eye is feeling better too I was worried ha-ha and sorry to hear about your phone (LOL).  Hopefully you got my birthday card I sent I thought it was quite funny:) ha-ha. That’s cool that you have a new job I’m glad you like it.  The weather here has been hot lately but today it’s gotten cooler so hopefully it stays that way.  Well that’s all I’ve got for this week.  We are going on exchanges today so another Elder who is being trained is coming here and my companion is going with the District Leader.  We are thinking of going to the Salt Lick when they get here cuz it’s in our area.  I went their last year at this time when I was in Kyle.   So if we go it should be some good food :)  Ok family I love you and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Devan
