Merry Christmas week!

Hi there,
It was so weird to see that family at the gas station. we are actually teaching 4 people who work at that station. Any way it was really cool cuz she asked me where i was from, and i to her, and then i asked her if she new sam and they were like ya. and then they asked what your name was and then she recognized who you were and who i was and then it clicked that i went to vegas with them and it was just a lot of fun. i forgot my camera today. Its at the apartment but I have a picture with them. Ill show you next monday. So we get christmas eve and christmas off. and yes I'll be calling around 10:00 am. Im so stoked. Its gonna be weird to hear ya'lls voices. So... Amackers are not getting baptized becasue they just arent ready. but we are setting a date on saturday but ill share that with ya'll on christmas. In due time! have a great couple of days and ill talk with ya'll soon. Love ya'll so much Merry Christmas.

Week of December 15th

Hi mom
Sorry so late on the email. We went to the oprymills mall today and it was so incredible. It is huge. This week has been really slow. We are doing a lot of finding because Me comp and his last comp didn't do anything the transfer before me so just picking up the slack-line. its been a lot of fun though. My comp is elder Treu, and he is from Orem Ut, went to timpanogos high, really hard to get along with but we are doing just fine. We are north and south pole. Sister Blackwells daughter is the cutest girl and i love their family.  So we are told only to hang out with members on christmas and investigators also. We are going over to the Probst family house to eat on christmas eve and then nothing planned for christmas day. Thanks so much for the package. I have one for ya'll i just need a few more things. ha ha its gonna be sweet. Its really cool to see how the meaning of christmas changes the more that you learn about Jesus Christ and what he has done for you. I love studying about Him. He is such an amazing example to me. So what's Hil up to? oh and parker? do they still exist? ha ha let them know i love them so very much. Its so weird i won't be a teenager anymore in less than a month! ha ha  Tell both sets of grandparents how much a love each of them and tells them thanks for the packages.  Well ya'll will probably get a letter today or tomorrow. Read it with the whole family please. Did dad get my card i sent him? well I'll keep you updated when something good happens. I love you mom from the bottom of my little heart. P.s. that is so cool about vegas and garth brooks.

Hey there!!!
Im so happy to be in Nashville. Im in the Heart of Nashville. Ill show you the pics in the second email. IM loving it here tho. There are so many miracles happening every day. Yesterday we had zone conference and it was such a good pump up session. This week is going to be amazing. So last night we had a really cool experience. We went to go see this lady Judy(such a nice lady).  Well we talked with her on her porch for about 7 minutes and the whole time we just talked about the atonement of Jesus Christ and that really hit her hard and she just broke down and started to cry. I love my ward here. It is a very very young ward. We have 5 different colleges in our boundaries and a big one is Vanderbilt and then there is Tennessee State and Lipscumb. Its such a good ward. Full of smart, rich business men who love to serve and get work done effeciently and effectively. We are gonna have great success this week and this month. For some reason im not getting home sick. Everyone says that they do. IDK (I don't know) but being on a mission during this time is the best thing in the world. I love it. IM glad that I get to email ya'll every week. but i will be calling around 11:00 am my time so 10:00 for ya'll if thats okay?  My comp is calling at 2:00 so ya. well i love yall so very much and dad have a wonderful birthday. Love elder schwendiman

Utah wins turkey bowl over the hicks!

Hey there family. 

I don't have much time but i want to say that i am very thankful for ya'll and everything ya'll do for me. This thanksgiving was so weird without ya'll. IT just wasn't the same. We had two dinners, one right after the other. It was really nice. IN the morning we played in the turkey bowl. It was so sweet. I was QB and i threw 12 touchdowns and ran for 2, intercepted 2, and handed the ball off for 6. We so dominated the other team. I wore my Utah Shirt. It really helped out pretending i was alex smith for a little bit. ha ha. It was a really nice thanksgiving. How was ya'll's thanksgiving? okay so here is the big news that ya'll have been waiting for. I GET TRANSFERRED ON TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!1 im so excited. My new area is going to be Green Hills. What this means is that im in the wealthiest part of Tennessee. I have the mission home and the mission office. Brentwood and old Hickory. Im really excited to be there for christmas. and i also have down town nashville in my area. I get to go to the "Bat Building" and all those cool places. Im really happy to leave Clarksville. My new companion is going to be Elder Kyle Treu! he was in the MTC with me. He is from Orem UT and he is a cool kid. Im still the District Leader and i have two amazzing sisters in my district. Sisters Day and Thacker. Sister thacker was in the MTC with me also. But thats pretty much all thats going on at the moment... I love ya'll and hope ya'll had a good thanksgiving.
Love your missionary
