Hey! I sure do love ya. My companion is Elder Reid, the same Elder Reid from the MTC! It's pretty cool to see him after 7 and a half months. He's awesome and he's just so much fun to be around. It felt really good to get back with him. Oh no way! I'm excited for Peight! He's going to have a great time at the Esplins. Tell P to tell the kids I say hi:) Carlos and Jenna are too nice:)


I had quite the experience yesterday... Yesterday we had a half mission conference. So half the missionaries gathered and there was a member of the seventy there to instruct us. President Pendleton called on Sunday night, the day before the conference and said that Elder Malm, he spoke in the last General Conference, wanted to meet with a district leader a zone leader and a trainer before the conference. I'm not sure why President Pendleton thought of me but he did. So he called Sunday evening and asked me if I wanted to do that. Of course I said yes. So before the meeting I had a one-on-one interview with Elder Malm. It was special and I felt very blessed to have that opportunity. We started with a prayer and then he asked me some questions. I told him about our family and then I asked him a few questions about him. It was neat. The conference was too good. That's why our preparation day is today and not yesterday:) Sorry I forgot to tell you last week. This last week has been great.

 I hope everything works out for you to be able to go to that Christmas Devotional. Tell Peight that I love him and tell him that he needs to treat Haizlee with a lot of love. She's precious. Tell the girls that I love them a lot as well. I'm getting excited for the holiday season. We have a few festive elders in our house so it's cool. Mom I cannot think anymore. My brain is fried. I feel like i'm learning so much that I don't know what to think about. I often confuse myself. It's great! Anyway... All is well out here and i'm very excited to be here with Elder Reid.

We are still teaching Mai Tong Vang. She's doing well. She's learning from the Jehovah's Witnesses as well right now but is still very diligent in learning for herself that the church is true. She's great. We're also teaching John and Maria Vang. They are a brother and sister who have two older Sisters that were baptized a while back. The older siblings are over 18 and that's why they were able to do so. The younger ones that we're teaching now don't have their parents consent. It's sad but they are remaining active in all the activities. It's pretty neat to see. They read from the Book of Mormon and John is gaining a solid testimony of it. Elder Reid and I just organized a bunch of Area Books so that should helps us be more efficient with our time. We're working on the Parents of these 3. Hopefully their hearts will become softened.

Well I don't think I have anything else. Truth is truth. It always has been and always will be. I'm so grateful I know the truth. I don't know a lot, at all, but I do know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know it. You're too great mom. Please tell dad that I love him and i'm very grateful for him as well. Please keep being great and hug and kiss the littles for me. Could you give Shenise and Chandis an Elder Paramore hug for me. Tell that that I love them, because I really do. A whole lot.. Love ya.

Love Elder Paramore

PS I don't know much about being a district leader, but I'll learn:)
