Sorry if my Emails are short this week, I'm trying to think of what I did..
Friday it stormed and rained a ton, so we stayed at the stake center after weekly planning and did family history work.  Combined elder Proctor and I found over 1,000
 ordinances to be completed!  In about two hours!  it was crazy.  So you and dad will be receiving a few temple cards in the mail before too long that I expect to be done by the time I get home ;)
I love and miss you all, and I'm glad that Cal, Will, and Grant got to go camping!  Above that though, I'm glad that Dad got to take them.  Those memories will stay with them all forever, and I'm SO happy that Dad took me camping when I was their age.

Love, --Elder Watson--

Check out the size of these grapefruit!  They are fresh and so good!  The mission home has some grapefruit trees so when they are near the mission home, they always ride by to pick one to eat.

Clean sink and dishwasher!!!

Thorn in your tire doesn't really turn out very well.  :(

Dear madre,

It was nice to hear from you too!  I'm glad you're all doing well, and can't wait to see you again.  (But I will ;)

I won't forget sunscreen, i promise.  I'll get the package later today i think, and can't wait for that mac 'n cheese.  I'm glad that Cal knows when i'm getting home, too.  Make sure you tell everyone to send me ties, or give you ties to send me, so I can take pictures in them and have more ties!  I'm going to write you a mother's day card and send it today, so this email will be short.  I wasn't sure what we were going to talk about on skype, so I didn't send one sooner.  Love you and can't wait to hear from you again!

Jacob with the mission president and his wife.

Jacob with the other new missionaries that arrived in Arizona the same day as him.

It has been hot, but not too hot.  In the 90s mostly, but it really feels cool because it's dry heat.  Yes, I still have meals every day, it's great!  I am getting to know the members, slowly...It's a big change.  

I look forward to letters, packages, and emails from everyone!!!!  Also, tell Callis that he's adorable and that he'll be six when I get home, regardless  of what he thinks.  (Cal keeps telling everyone that Jacob is coming home when he is 5!)

     That's so cute!! What Cal said AND the picture you sent.  I look forward to coming home too, but I can't bear the thought of leaving Arizona.
      My ward is interesting.  It's what you would call "Newly weds and nearly deads".  No middle aged people exist there.  I have met bunches of the members, and I bore my testimony in sacrament meeting letting everyone know that I hadn't been out for more than a week yet, and THEN passed around the dinner calendar.  Not a blank space on it anymore ;D
      We don't really have many investigators down here, there are just tons and tons of inactives.  I think our ward is about 150 actives and 350 inactives.  It's really sad.  We do have one new investigator with two 8 year old twins, so that's exciting!  Teaching is just like the district, but me.  not them.  It's scary, knowing that what you say could lead to someone's eternal salvation.  But trusting in the Lord helps.  He is always there, guiding the lessons and helping me teach.  I have taken pictures galore, and i'm sending the SD card out today.
     Love hearing from y'all.
     Love, --Elder Watson--
