I have been on splits with my district leader and two other Elders this week for conference. It is a little weird to flat with other Elders when I'm so used to doing different stuff with my Soa. General Conference was amazing. During priesthood session I loved how Beck talked about that Johnson girl and Carson; I was like yelling to everyone in my branch "I know them! I know them!" It was pretty cool. Right now I am in Hastings. I don't have any of my stuff--pray for me my driving test is in four hours--scary stuff.

Turns out I messed up pretty bad; I left all of my papers for the driving test in Waipak (short for my area) so I called the office and they said to just schedule it for another day and it will be reimbursed. My favorite talk in conference was Elder Neil L. Anderson's signs and miracles will follow the faithful and Elder Ellis's about him growing up on a farm and how he related it to needing to stick to the basics

Exchanges were fun it was something to be able to go out with missionaries other than Elder Kavea. I went with Elder Evans (from my intake) and Elder Taelega he's a pretty cool guy but he only has two months left.  Elder Kavea and I were knocking doors this week and we met a Jehovah's Witness. She let us in but would hardly let us talk, she had a bunch of Mormon stuff, and we asked her why she wouldn't read any of them. We answered her questions of the first page of the Book of Mormon. I read it to her and I felt the Spirit, I even started to cry a bit as I bore my testimony, but she shrugged it off her shoulder. It was a different experience. It is starting to rain here, hopefully the mountains get green and I can send you green photos. Send me some pictures from T-ball and the farm and some of me. I love you all

Well the plane ride was fine. It just felt like a big bumpy bus ride and they gave me two meals. I thought they weren't bad but they could have been better. I'm just glad that it kind of filled me up, I did not have to get up once during the flight!!! I watched two movies, well I didn't really watch them the people around me were watching Skyfall and The Hobbit!!! I can't wait to go out in the field and have my senior teach while I just listen. Thanks for all the prayers you guys it was not scary at all on the plane I felt the comfort of the Lord!! Thanks for all you do for me I miss all of you!! Well I was looking forward to sending you a bunch of photos of the water under me on the plane but it was dark and you couldn't see a thing. My name tag looks so cool like I am a real missionary!!!!! The MTC is great I love the food; I had spaghetti for breakfast it was different but I like it, and I had some tortilla chips I thought I wasn't going to be able to find those here. The MTC president is very cool, we had an interview and he said I will be going to the temple next Wednesday. I am in the Lehi district in room 12. I don't remember my comps name I don't think he has showed up yet! There are a lot of elders here that have been here for 4 weeks learning the English language, I am beginning to think now I am fine with the call I have of just English speaking!!!!! I have met an elder that came into my room from Samoa, I didn't understand a word he said. Uncle Randy was right; it is like a different language but I get what they are trying to say!! I love that I am out here serving...maybe it will get hard but I love it. Haha Elder Cuthbertson, I can't remember his name, said he saw you guys still out there!! It's sad but I really haven't cried that I have left you but it hasn't hit that I am really gone!!! That I am really in NEW ZEALAND! I can't remember anyone's name or even say there names it is hard for me.

Tell Jake thanks for the tie I like it a lot!!! So did the other people that saw me holding it, I told them that my best friend gave it to me and they were like that is so cool!! I share the same room with Jake Nelson and an Elder Cook, I think he is my comp but I really don't know. I have about ten minutes left and I need you to write me so I can think of what to write you next!! I love all of you at home!!! I need you to send me a lot of pictures of it, maybe that's why I'm not homesick yet but I would like some of the farm and the house and at least one of everybody in our family!!!! I miss you guys so much!!! I have been sleeping all morning, I'm gonna go play some basketball soon...hopefully I don't make a fool of myself!!!!
