Hi Cindy! Hope you're having a great weekend. Just wanted to write you and tell you that 

your son is doing an awesome job. Shane (my husband) just came home and said, 

"I can't believe he's only been out 6 weeks! He's running it like he's a senior 

companion...I literally forgot that he's so new." We're so proud of him! He and Elder Sorenson are doing a great job together. I attached a picture of 

them. You are too cute. You sound just like my mom. On our first day of high 

school, she and her friend would get their diet cokes and wait outside in 

the van during lunch time to see if theycould see us. That would be so hard to 

have him so close...so tempting..!

Anyway, have a great weekend! Love, Kylee

HI Cindy,

Shane, Maylen, Elder Pierce & Elder Baradoy

My name is Kylee Thompson and my family lives here in Sahuarita, AZ where your son is serving. My husband is the ward mission leader and so we get to spend lots of time with the missionaries. I remember when my brothers were on their missions, my mom missed them terribly. She likes to have all of her chicks in one nest! So I just wanted to write you and tell you what an outstanding missionary your son is. We've seen him from Day 1 and he's been so ready to work. His funny and easy going personality has been a great tool to relate with the investigators as well as the members. He's been so willing to do whatever is asked of him and his enthusiasm is contagious.

WARNING WARNING

Due to the sheer awesomeness this email contains, i advise those that can't handle awesomeness to skip reading this email and wait for next week...

We are awesome and we like to do Awesome things!

So family. i just called you yesterday so i don't really have so much to talk about. but i will mention some good stuff that happened during the week. I had my first dog attack the other day. we were visiting this investigator and they have small yappy dogs. well as soon as they open the door, their little doxen runs over  and attacks my pant leg. i honestly didn't move and just stood there while it tried to be "vicious" and then i kicked it and it let go. it was actually really funny ha ha. because that dog always tries to scare us away and barks like constantly, i seriously want to throw my Book of Mormon at it. give it a real good bible bashing ha ha.

2 More Baptisms!

hello family! how is it going over there in vegas? how is the Ritz doin? we are doin good down here, Arizona weather sure is hot thats for sure, my typing is going to be real bad today, we were playin volleyball with the mommas (mothers in the word with like 5 kids each) and i smashed my fingers pretty darn good, one might be broken, but im fine, no need to worry, i have bandaids with superheros on them haha.

Well this week went really good. we had 2 more baptisms on thursday and confirmations yesterday. Their names are Shayla (14) and Laney (9) they are really cool girls and i got some pictures so i can send that to you.

i also went on my first exchange the other day. i went all the way down to Nogales with our zone leader Elder Feltner. he is so cool and only has 4 weeks left. the only problem with the exchanges was thta elder feltner is a spanish speaking missionary and Nogales is a spanish speaking zone haha. all i did was sit there and nod my head hahaha, it was so much fun. i could understand what they were saying kinda but not really. he just told them that i can undertand really well but i cant speak it, it worked out for us. we talked for a long time about stories of the past and stories about the mission, it was so much fun. but nogales is seriously like right on the border, me and elder baradoy stopped and took a visit to the border and took some pictures haha, it was so fun.
