Just Checking In

Letter for America,

Not much time. Just want to let you all know that I love my life and my mission. I love Mexico and the Gospel. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Not even for golf.....I think. Ok....I'm sure. I wouldn't trade it for golf.

Work is hard, but I love it. Hope you liked the photos I sent a couple weeks ago.

Love and miss you all.

Hoots

The Letter Hiatus has ENDED!!!!!

The letter hiatus is officially over.

Hoots wrote the first letter in a month or so last week.  I didn't get a chance to post it, so here it is. 

Haden also wanted me to post a few updates on some past people that he has mentioned:

Jose Luis, Isaac and Andres all from his first ward in Granjas have received the priesthood.  He is happy that even after he has left he is having an impact on those people's lives. 

Below is last week's letter.  I will post this week's letter ASAP.

New Area....New Experiences

Short letter this week.  He didn't have much time because he had to use his p-day to get settled in to his new digs. 

His new area has been updated on the map to the right.  You can click on the map to check out his new area.  His area extends all the way to Lopez Portillo (just north of the point on the map).

For now, I'm going to take the address off the contact info page because I have not confirmed that it is still the correct address to send things to. 

Thanks for  all your support.

Below is the letter......

Experiences of a Missionary in Mexico City

Only Elder Hoots could tell a story like the ones below.  Just imagine him telling them with a "dude" between every word and you will laugh.  Finally, we get some stories about the actuality of living in Mexico City.  Experiences like this will help you grow up fast.  haha.

If you haven't already, please try to send out your handwritten note to Hoots.  To get to Mexico in time for Christmas, they should probably be sent next week at the very latest. 

Thank you for all your support.

It Was a Week of Miracles

It was a week full of miracles for Elder Hoots.  He has been working very hard on being the best missionary he can be and after all the positive things he had happen to him last week, the good times keep coming. 

One of the stories in this letter is in his words "intense."  Amazing experience that he'll never forget.

Read on to hear about all the good things that are happening and don't forget to send him a quick email or leave a quick comment to him.  Even though he can't reply to all of them, he really appreciates it and it helps keep him going.

Hard work = results

This week brings more stories and more pictures.  The Picture page is updated.

This is the first week in a while that didn't have a portion dedicated to his ankle, so it is probably doing much better, which is good to know.  That thing was giving him a rough time.  It's good to see that he has remained positive though and continues to work hard.

Read below to see what he has to say this week.
