Nothing cheers up a missionary like good Lakers news...

While reading this letter keep in mind that Elder Hoots only gets information on Mondays when he can read our emails to him.  Thus, this was his letter after reading all of our emails from the weekend.  You'll understand when you read his letter.

He has also sent pictures this week.  The Pictures Page is updated so you can check it out.  And yes, that skinny kid in the pics is Haden.

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.

Elder Hoots - Christmas Special

Merry Christmas!

This week kind of got away, and I haven't been able to post the letter until today.  It will be some good Christmas Eve reading.  Hoots also sent some pictures this week.  Those will be posted on the Pictures page.

Hoots is having a little bit of a tough time during this Christmas season.  So any type of note you can send to him to give him some encouragement and showin some love will be much appreciated.  

We get to talk to Haden tonight on the phone and we are all very excited.  As you know we haven't been able to talk to him since he took off for Mexico in July.  It'll be fun to chat. 

Now for the letter....

Missionary Down! Elder Hoots is on the DL...

Short letter this week...but he has a good excuse.  Read below to see why.

BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!

My bad this week.  I haven't had time to post Haden's letter, so it is a few day's late.  I'm sorry to all those loyal followers that have been waiting for it. 

He also sent more pictures this week again!  Check them out on the Picture page.

Monday was Haden's birthday (20 years old!!!), I forwarded him all the wishes that people posted on his facebook page and as you will be able to read below, he really appreciated them.  I know that every little bit of encouragement helps him get through the tough times.  I also told him about all of those that gave him gifts,

I know that in a lot of Haden's letters he is using words that those who are not members of our church may not be familiar with.  In each post, I try to make those words links.  The link will take you to a site that can give you some background on what that means to our church.  So click away and you'll see what he's talking about.  As always, if you have questions, let me know.
