Wow guys fist off I just want to say I never thought that I would get to this point. I am officially on my last transfer. Secondly congrats to Colby and max! I thought yall were only 5 so I was shocked when I got the baptism invitation haha. Well for this last transfer elder bean got transferred and I am training for my last six weeks wich really helps me stay motivated for the final stretch. But I can't help think about all the stuff I want to do when I get home! So here is a list to get it out of my head. In no particular order. 1 dell taco. I need some value bean and cheese goodness. 2. Mountains. I want to go drive to one and play in the snow. 3. My planes. I want to fly them. 4. Guns. I want to shoot one. 5. Hang out with the fam. And last and most importantly 6. I need mom to scratch my back until my first layer of skin is no longer there. And one more post script. 7. I want to drive the jeep. Now that I got that out of the way. My new companion is elder isrealsen. He us from north Logan and this is his second transfer in the field so "technically" I'm not training him. He is cool. He is really quiet but it's alright. I can get anyone to talk. People say he is a quieter version of me but I'm not sure what I know what that means.. So this week was really cool because for the first time in my entire mission I had an investigator come to church the first Sunday after the initial contact! that's right ladies and gentlemen, we met her on Thursday and she came to church sunday! Her name is Maria and we want her to get baptized before I leave so I can have a baptism in each of my areas. The inly problem is she lives 20 minutes in the opposite direction of the church and she doesn't have a car so the members need to take her. And they all live very close to the church. But let's hope that doesn't stop them! It's so weird being in this position guys. I'm not just the oldest Spanish missionary in the mission but I'm the oldest missionary! as in time wise, there are some old elders here... But that's about it for this week nothing else really. We went fishing today and I caught an alligator gar! Imagine a alligator head on the body of a fish and that's about what it is. I'll try to send the pictures tomorrow at district meeting. Well I love yall so much and can't wait to see yall in six weeks!! Elder horrocks

okay yall!! this week was a awesome week because we were given the chance to go up to nola for a ztm! it was really cool because i got to see elder caldwell and elder ainge again! those two guys have definately been two of my best friends i have made not just in my mission but in my entire life! one thing i would really like to touch on is the truth behind what nathan taught me. the friencds that i have made on my mission really have been life long. even if i had no "success" in numbers on my mission, i wouldnt change the friends ive made at all. the bonds i have made throught my mission has helped me grow to be a stronger member of the church and has increased my testimony in the gospel more than i ever would have imagined. and elder bean of course. my companion elder bean is one of my favorite missionaries ive met on my entire mission! sorry for the short email. it has been weird with labor day. just wanted to say that i love yall. elder horrocks
