Querido Familia, This week was pretty good. We din't have a whole lot of lessons, but we did get a lot of referrals and we contacted them all. Unfortunately we did not get any lessons out of it, but they all set return appointments so that is good! One lesson that we did teach this week though was with a really old lady in a nursing home. It was really weird at first, but it was a really good and humbling experience! Well, I hope you are all doing good! I just saw the picture of Kyle with his Go-tee and I didn't even realize it was him at first! Anyway, thats about it for me. I love you all! Elder Lee

Querido Familia! This week has been fantastic! I did get the bike tubes and they work miracles! I haven't had to patch or repair my tires at all since installing them! I am extremely grateful for that! So I found out this week that I will be getting a New Mexico Driver's License! I had Elder Cottle call the DMV and he had trouble so he finally had me call and I found out the reason I have to go in person for the tests is because of the ticket that I got in 2012. So that cleared up everything. So Elder Cottle will be sending me the stuff I need to fill out so I can get a license here! Ok, so as far as the work goes. It has been a pretty good week, nothing super exciting, but we were able to find one new investigator, who is the wife of one of our other investigators. They have been meeting with missionaries for a while and they seem solid at first but then they kind of start to argue a little bit, so we will keep working with them but they are not our first priority. We have been looking for other people to teach too, and we have a good list of solid potentials that we are going to stop by this week, so we will see how that goes! Anyway, I love you all!! Elder Lee

Querido Familia, So a bit of news, We got a phone call from the AP's on Monday around six and told my companion that he would be getting transferred the next day. He was pretty upset, but he is where he needs to be. So I still only have 1 companion, but we are doing awesome! We are Killing the area now! My new companion has almost been out for six months. His name is Elder Caleb Smith! He is my second companion with the name of Smith, but he is not the same one. So this week we have been walking since I don't have bike tubes and patches have stopped working! But we were able to find a few new investigators and a lot of potentials that we are going to stop by sometime this week! We were also able to get quite a few lessons in with less actives which were really awesome. So this last weekend we watched general conference and that was super awesome! Maybe its because I actually listen to general conference now, but the talks have been way better these last two conferences than they ever have been before! Anyway, not much else for me this week! I love you all!!! Elder Lee

Querido Familia, So this week was pretty good, We had another lesson with one of our investigators, and this time we got to teach her husband too! The lesson itself wasn't the best, we were kinda all over the place, but it was hard, because they know the Bible really well and kept switching topics! But next time we are going to be a little more prepared and try to keep it focused! So not much else happened, but I will give you all the News that you've been so anxious to receive! So, I will be staying in this area with my current companion for the next 6 weeks when my companion leaves to go home! The catch though, is that we will be receiving a third companion! So I am super stoked for that! Trios are the best! Also there is one other catch! Our area has been changed from a car share area to a full bike area! So hopefully I will lose a little bit more weight! I have already lost 5 pounds! can you believe that? So that being said, These last few weeks I have had to repair my tire at least once every day if not twice! And a member bought me new tubes and I bought plastic liners that go between the tube and the tire! The plastic things helped a little bit! But what I really need are good quality tubes! So I was wondering if Dad could order me some extra thick tubes with self-sealant slime already inside with the Presta valves! The size is 700c x 28/38c! So that is about it for me and you can send those to my current address, not the mission office! And the sooner I get them the better! Muchisimas gracias!! I love you all!! Elder Lee P.S. If dad thinks he can find better tubes than that I trust his judgement, I just Need something better than walmart tubes!

Querido Familia, This week has been a lot better, we finally found a few people to teach and we will hopefully be finding more people this week too! So that time has come again... Transfers... It is crazy how fast this Transfer went by, I feel like I just got to this area! We will find out on Saturday if one of us leaves. And since Transfers is next Tuesday, we will be having our P-day on Monday. So I love El Paso, it is great! I haven't fallen and gotten covered in Gas yet, but I look forward to the day that I do! That's cool that you all got to see Uncle Spencer! I hope he and his family are doing well! So, my district is good, we do exchanges, usually once per transfer, but my current district leader wants to go with both companions so I think we will be having a short exchange this week sometime, but I am not sure. I can't think of anything I need right now! Something I want for my birthday...? I am not really sure about that either. I will try to think of some thing this week and let you know! Anyway, I love you all!!! Elder Lee (The gas thing has to do with a story I told of my experience in El Paso, if you really want to know, just ask Me)

Querido Familia, This week has been better, we have still been struggling a lot, but we were out looking for a less active and we knocked into this lady, who is a Christian, and she started asking us questions about our Church, which is awesome because most people just politely say they aren't interested. So we asked her if she would be interested in hearing about our message, and she said she would ask her husband! So we are going to stop by this week to follow up with that. She was super sincere in her interest and she seems really promising. At this point I am just praying that they want to hear more! Other than that not much has happened. I got a few letters from seminary students, one from Josh and one from Either Nicole Bosch or her younger sister, whoever is the right age to be in seminary, It said The Bosch Family. But then as you know I also got an email from Bishop, last week! I marvel at how the Lord on 3 different occasions from 3 different sources in the same week, can tell me, Exactly what I needed to hear! It amazes me how the Lord uses each and every one of his children for his purposes, even if it is a simple letter to a missionary who is having a hard time. The thing that amazes me most though is that the people who wrote these letters didn't even know how much of an impact of what they were writing would have. I hope you can feel the spirit of what I am saying! and I hope that each and every one of you are doing well! I love you all!! Elder Lee
