Dear Family:
How is everyone doing? I am doing awesome and growing spiritually from this experience. You will be happy to know that I have lost 15 lbs while being out here. They say alot of missionaries gain weight. I don't know what different for me, but I guess I'll take it.
The weeks just fly by out here, September flew by me and October is about half way over. Pretty soon, I'll be at the 6 month mark! I don't want it to end, I love it out here, but then again I miss you Mom and Dad! I miss you Avery, Aush and Maddie. Out here it has been a daily grind and truly the hardest work I have ever been engaged in, but it seems like I am being taught a life lesson every day! I remember the story you told me about your mission Dad. The one about the guy who lived in the worst projects, but was pimped out with everything inside. I thought that it was funny, and I am glad that I am gaining my own experiences and own stories so I can have funny memories to share when I get home.
I hope all is well with you and that you are getting ready for the holiday season! The folks out here are all about Halloween and Thanksgiving! Some are even getting ready for Christmas! As Christmas gets closer, I really love to read the story about Jesus's birth. It's one that truly touches my heart! I love the scriptures and the spirit they bring.
All is well here in Tennessee. I hope you have an amazing week!
With Love, Your son and brother

Dear Family:
How is everyone doing? I am doing good out here. We just carved pumpkins for P-day, so I am enjoying some pumpkins seeds that we roasted last night.
Things are going well with me out here. We got a referral a while back and her name is JS. It turns out that she is a famous country singers sister. She cut hair and we have an appointment to get ours cut. hopefully something will come of that.
Dad you asked if there was any gospel topics that you could study for me. As the holidays come up, I am really trying to study more about the Savior's birth and Jesus's ministry on earth. If you guys could study about that and share your insights, that would be awesome!
How's everyone back home? Are yo guys getting ready for the holidays? There was kind of an argument on Sunday at church as to who gets to feed us on Thanksgiving! The people here love having the missionaries over for dinner. (I told Dyllon that he should take applications and have people fill out menus and then they should choose two houses a early dinner and a later dinner based on the food offerings! )
What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving? I'm really gonna miss your orange turkey Mom! I tell people about it and they don't think it would taste very good, but they just don't understand!
I think that Romney is going to win this election, because we have about 100 people a day tell us that they are voting for him. It is definitely a strange but awesome time to be on a mission.
Well, I love you guys and hope that you are getting excited for the holidays! I heard, "I'll be home for Christmas" in the Hallmark the other day, and it made me a little sad because I know that I won't be. But, I'll make it through I guess.
I love you guys and hope that you are doing well! Vee kill them on the mat this year! Aush, slow down on the tweeting scene until you get your homework done! Madi, keep working hard in soccer and keep the other 2 in line for me!
Love

Dear Dad,
How are you? I am doing good and I am having a good time being a missionary. I think back to all the cool stories that you told us about your mission and I am excited to share my own with you and everyone as they happen and when I get home. You asked if there was anything I had to do to become a trained Elder. Well, I have to do is finish the 12 week program for the new missionary and his trainer, it's pretty interactive and I've enjoyed it so far.
I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to have you as my dad. A lot of people out here that I meet don't have dad's around and I see the negative effects it has on them and how damaging it is to these kids. I glad that I grew up in a supportive home where I had good parents to show me the right way to so things. Thank you for being there and being a role model in my life. I love you Dad!
Your son
