Hey momma. How are you today? hope things are going well.
Well sounds like Jordan is preping for some serious stuff comin up for him. That is great that he is getting those apps in. It's even greater that those boys got together and sang that sound. What a powerful message it contains. (Jordan sang with the Priests on Sunday, Bring the World His Truth). I love singing it here cause they change the words for us. Good Job on the band comp Jordan. (Marching Band came in 1st place in their division on Saturday). They have a new director right? that is good for them.
Well, being Zone leader isnt all that hard. We just have to make sure we go to all the meetings and report to the branch president. And be good examples to the rest of the Zone. I like it but i dont feel way different or anything right now. Our Zone is so awesome. We are really unified and really love everyone here. Its great. There arent any fights or i hate yous that need to be fixed its really awesome.
Well, I cant wait to see Spencer Harrison. Hopefully we will have the same meal time or something so I can find him. I still haven't seen Elder Richey. . . I can't remember what he looks like. I just look for the Tag lol.
Well let Aaron Ryan Jordan and Rae know that I love them. They are such wonderful siblings and I really am blessed to be their brother. Have fun with Aunt Kate and all those little goobers on halloween. They sent me some sweet coloring pictures this past week. So did Emma and the Coombs. Love you all,
Love Elder Thorpe

I cant believe I only have threee weeks left .. that is going to be intense when we leave. I saw a district leaving this morning as they got on the bus and I thought wow its gonna be a while till im doing that but its really not. Well the work is going well here. Elder Francis and I are working really hard here. We are really unified in our teaching and all the things we do but im pretty nervous for tommorow! Tommorow we teach in Spanish for the first time and im not sure if we are ready for that yet! It'll definitely be a good learning experience. Well on Sunday, Elder F and I will be the new Zone Leaders for our zone of about 45 people. Im kinda nervous cuase its a lot of responsibility but it shouldnt be too hard. Im excited for it too. Ill let you know how it goes. Love you all !

That night when sister Wilmuth came over to our house to do the interview thing with me she told me that story about Craig. I thought it was definitely a great story; the man was truly inspired and im greatful he listened. (See below for story) Well can you do me a favor and send me Jimmy's email address? and blakes? that would be awesome. Oh and can you send this to grandma richey:
Hey Grandma and Grandpa! Thank you for coming and seeing all the family before I left. It was great to be with you again. Thanks for all of your support and all the encouragement you have given me. I love you!

Everything is going good here. Im finally running out of the Candy that Tommy sent me! lol its a good thing though. . well Edler Francis and I have been teaching this one teacher as "Drew." He is a man in his thirties with 2 daughters and his wife. He used to go to church when he was younger and knows a few things. He just lost his job and is really unsettled right now. We have been practicing a ton and learning how to help him. We are learning to teach to their needs and ask questions that will get the investigator to think about how each lesson effects them and how they can apply it to their lives. Its been great and he has been a great help to us.. . g2g tty again later today.
Hello Jon,
Yesterday was a good day. We had a great sacrament meeting (fast and testimony). Sister Wilmuth bore her testimony about Craig and an experience he had in Louisiana. He was very discouraged about the work there. While at the temple, he met a man in the celestial room that was a convert of four years. He told his story to Craig which was that he didn't want to listen to the lessons for many years. Basically he was giving Craig support to keep going and keep trying. The man actually called Sister Wilmuth and explained to her that he was traveling from Ohio to Florida and had the strong impression to go to the New Orleans temple. He did and that's when he needed to meet Craig. Great story.

Well to start off, I really enjoyed conference! It was so good. I was able to stay awake the whole time which was definitely worth it!. I love hearing from the General Authorities like Elder Holland and President Eyring. Elder Hollands testimony of the BOM was great and Pres. Eyrings talk during the priesthood session was great. Still no announcment for the Nica temple but thats ok.
So how is it going in Seattle ? hope you are having a fun "break" from the family. How is the dog? warming up to you all yet or not so much? Rachel made it seem like the dog is obeying her already!
Well hopefully you can get Jordan and Drake to room together at the Y! that would be pretty sweet for them. They used to be pretty good friends I remember that for sure. The RC is going great. We go as a district once a week and EF and I try to go once more during the week. It is a really nice break from studying and we get to see how some real people ask real questions and then answer them. We feel like we are actually doing missionary work lol.
well you can send this to my friends if you want to:
Hey ya'll! sorry I dont have time to write personally! here is how its going. The spanish is coming along very well. We are going a little slower than I would like but a lot of it is personal. If you wanna leave here speaking fluently it is your job not the teachers lol. So it is going well and I am able to help my compainon alot. My two other roomates left for the Madrid MTC this morning so it is only Elder Francis and I in our room now. It is kinda nice but at they same time its kinda lonely lol. It is a lot of fun here. Everyone has a great attitude and has so much fun. Gym time is awesome cause we play bball vball and 4square! hahah. The worst part though is the food. It gets repetitive lol but the Chocolate Milk is amazing!!! Im really enyjoying my time here but I am so excited to go into the field. Nicaragua is going to be awesome as long as the volcanoes dont blow up haha. Well g2g. Love you all so much. Thanks for your support.
Love Elder Jonathan Thorpe
P.S. I'll write you personally if you write me a letter through the mail!
