Howdy Family.
This e-mail will be brief since I just talked to y'allllll yesterday. Here's some pictures, the first few are of some of the ward members in Conroe. Hno. Juan, the 1st counselor in the bishopric of the Woodlands 3rd Ward. And the Ortiz family, a family that was baptized about a couple years ago, they went through the temple and everything are are the strongest most active members in Conroe by far, they're great they always help us out with teaching and sharing the gospel, etc. Perfect examples of new members. The taller of the two boys, Alan, is probably the closest person I've yet found that's a mexican double of Austin. The 3rd picture is of Elder Smith, he wasn't my companion but we lived in the same apartement for 3 transfers so we got to be good friends, he's a funny guy from Layton, UT. The following are of the Flores family, that's where I spent my birthday, we had just finished eating papusas when my companion remembered it was my birthday so yeah.... It shows us all sitting there, the one in the blue is Jose, the shorter one in the red is Paul. They're a nice family we became like best friends with them right there as soon as we met them, they already knew my companion Elder Frost, because Elder Frost origionally opened the Oakcrest branch about a year and a half ago. And they gave me some 'flan' with a candle in it to celebrate my birthday. It was fun. There are a lot of good members here. The last picture is basically what the landscape here looks like. Nothingness, dotted with farms and empty wastelands. Well that's all I got to say today. Oh and here is my address, I'm done putting up with the mission office, so here's my address:
811 Cloyd Drive # 716
Magnolia Texas, 77355
Okay, peace out until next week.
