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.

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....

Up and Up

Here is Elder Hoot's letter for this week.  Things are looking on the up and up in Mexico and he is doing well. 

His time was short this week, so the stories are a little shorter, but it is cool to see how emotionally invested he gets with each investigator. 

Please keep him in your prayers and send holiday notes to give him some encouragement.  We, his family, appreciate it.
