1 Year as a Missionary...


Hola Friends and Family.

I hope you are all doing well. I’m doing pretty well. I’m happy, and we are still being blessed down here in Fabens. I hit my one year mark on Friday, and now I’m in limbo mode because I will be on a plane home Sept 11th next year. (you really serve for 2 years and 4 days) so after today I will have exactly 365 days left. It’s kind of sad because It seems like too short. But then again I’m excited to see everyone again. On Friday night a member took us out to a place to eat called Cattleman’s Steakhouse. It is probably the most expensive place to eat in all of el Paso. This Steakhouse is in the middle of the desert and has its own Zoo. But it’s not like any normal zoo. It has long Horns, Ostriches, and buffalo. Huge animals that could kill so easily. My companion and I had the biggest and most expensive thing to eat on the menu, a 2lbs Steak with french fries beans and coleslaw. The members did not believe that I could finish it because I only weigh about 170lbs. But I finished it all and out ate my companion, who is up there at 280lbs. I can eat so much food. but the thing is I’m not able to exercise like I used too. So, I’m still gaining weight. Oh well though. I can always lose it later.

Well we have been having lots of success in our area as of late. We had 7 investigators at church on Sunday, which I think was one of the highest in the mission, and we have been preparing them for baptism. We had a fast Sunday with one of our investigators named Angel this week, and he is set to be baptized this Saturday. It has been a long process with him but we are all excited to see him take that step. Other than that we are still working with the people we have as well and trying to be extra obedient for the next few weeks to come. With the temple trip and the Apostle, stake and general conference, there will be lots of time to receive some inspiration for the area and our investigators.

Anyway, I am happy and doing well, thanks for all the support and love you all send.

Until next week,

Elder Stewart
