Happy April!

A little late, but worth the wait.  Sorry I've been slacking lately.  This is Haden's letter from April 2.  I'll post two more letters this week and we should be all caught up!  Hang in there.

Hoots seems to be turning a corner as he quickly approaches his 1 year mark on his mission.  He's been working hard in the area that everyone told him was impossible when he started and the results are piling in.  Check out the stories below.

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.

Elder Hoots Checks In

After no letter last week, we get a short letter this week.  The computer time is limited on his p-day so he tries to get us a letter whenever he can. 

Things are looking up for Elder Hoots.  He has a companion he likes and he's doing well in the area he's in.  Keep praying and sending love, it helps keep him going.

Check out his letter below....

New Companion, New Updates, New Pictures

Elder Hoots is back with a letter this week and some new stories.  He is working hard and has really made some waves in an area that is historically tough for missionaries.  We are proud of his hard work.

This week also brings us some new pictures!  The Picture Page is updated so you can check them all out.

The Letter Hiatus is OVER

After a few week hiatus, Elder Hoots is back with a letter.  His new area has presented a few challenges, one of which is internet time on his p-day, so he has missed a few weeks.  But he is working hard and making us proud.

His address has been updated on the Contact Info page and you can start sending him packages and letters again. 

Thank you to all of you for your support.

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......

Missionary Christmas Letter

My apologies.  For the second time in a row I have posted the letter quite late.  This letter was actually sent the day after Christmas, but as is the case for many of you, things have been crazy since then.  So I'm getting to it now. 
A new letter will be coming this Monday and we will get back in to a normal schedule.

He has also sent a picture of him waiting by the phone on Christmas.  This drama is why we call him "Hollywood"....

If you are planning on sending him anything in the mail, wait until I have updated the contact info.  Because he has moved areas he will likely have a different mailing address.

Below is this week's letter.
