HOLA EVERYBODY!!

HOLA EVERYBODY!!
There's no one who speaks Spanish in our area. So that was me practicing my Spanish. . . This is a crazy rich area too, mostly Caucasian families with duel incomes. But I love it here! (Editor's note-He seems to love it everywhere!)

So this week has been nuts. It dumped snow all day Saturday and Sunday. Needless to say my arms are dead tired from shoveling for people. The Hill family called us and asked if we wanted to help them shovel all their neighbors walks. We shoveled about 25 driveways. It was nuts. So much fun though. I miss working hard like that. It's always nice to do some nice hard physical labor. We also had Zone Conference again. We were in charge, that's always fun. We had a great lunch. We always singto the people who feed us too, this time it was only 2 of them. And it was probably the best lunch we've had yet. We learned a lot during our Conference as well. Last time we learned about the Book of Mormon and focused a lot on that. This time it was all about baptisms. I loved it. It is weird being one of the older missionaries though. There are so many that have just left that I looked up to so much my whole mission, kinda weird. But it's all good. Our mission is pretty much the best too. I look at where it's come from and where it is now, its amazing. President Christianson is truly inspired. It's great to be able to see a lot of how the revelatory process works for our mission.

Either way I've got to roll out. . .
Love you all,
Happy Thanksgiving!

More snow for CO

On of the lady's in Colton's ward took these pictures for my mom...

It was dumping down snow on Sunday. Colton and his comp spent a large chunk of the day shoveling drive ways. They even canceled church. Crazy!

America is the best, isn't it!

America is the best, isn't it! I love it! During the 4th I studied pretty much all of Ezra Taft Benson's talks and all the others on the Constitution and the foundation of the country and even the bicentennial year issue of the Ensign. Sweet stuff. Glad you got to hear learn more about it too. It testifies to me the church is true.

So things are going well. Elder Brunton and I are making a lot of progress with the wards. We are working really hard on getting the 20 lessons a week program going in our wards. If you don't know what that is, you should ask about it. The bishop should know about it. It came from Elder Perry. So we are really trying to get that going.

I'm pretty excited, because the Columbine Stake Conference is coming up and we have an Apostle and a Seventy coming!! How sweet is that!! We are going to bring all our investigators!

Other than that we are just working really hard, slaving away, you know haha! It's the best. We have to get a missionary some where so I've got to go. Just know I love you all. Have a good week! Be thankful and Happy Thanksgiving!

LOVE

Mike got baptized

Hey,
Sorry, yeah Mike Doyle got baptized, I thought I told you. It was way sweet. But now we've turned him over to the Singles Ward and he is doing great.

I don't have much time, transfers are tomorrow and Elder Wanket is heading out. It's been fun.

There are all these reorganizations going on in the mission, it's nuts. I'll have to tell you about them once there all official, but our Zone is splitting so we'll see how it turns out.

Elder Burton is going home, so that's lame. He's awesome. He is killing it, so I'm happy he's leaving on such a high.

Yeah, I've got to write a president's letter, so I'll chit chat with y'all later! Love ya!!!

LOVE ELDER BRAGG
