Hey Everyone.

So to answer my moms questions, no I already Have boots, and the weather has been off and on raining, There was snow I cant believe that. Im ready for snow here. So yes transfer calls came in and Im staying in Jacksonville, and Elder Anderson is leaving to go to Columbia Missouri. My new comp is a farly new missionary, they keep giving me the youngins, thats ok. His name is Elder Te
xshata. The only thing I know about him is he is Portuguese and he is from Canada. Weird huh? But Ill let you know how he is. So We got to confirm Thomas and Juliann, I got to confirm Juliann, It was so awesome. I loved it.

...

So Have I gotten sick, yes just once, We were on exchanges and we went to eat at a members house they had pizza. I dont now why but I had a super bad headache, then I think the pizza wasnt cooked all the way so I puked all of it up, so I took some pain kills and melatonin and I was knocked out for the rest of the night. Had a good deep sleep.

Booker is still on to be baptized but we are going to do it on sat so it will be Nov 3rd, and its going to be 10 o clock in the morning. Bro Micheal is going to baptize him. I will let you know how it goes.
So yes we are teaching a lot, we went tracting and found 3 new!, And as a district we found 11 new this week! So its way awesome.
Well I love you all, oh mom could you also send me my black ski jacket. I would just love a jacket then to have to wear the oversize coat when i dont need to. Could you do that? I believe its still in my closet. I feel bad I keep on thinking of these things I need, and it wouldnt hurt to get maybe 2 more new long sleeve shirts, 15 it my neck size

HELLO PEEPS

So I guess a funny story happened is we went to go see a less active in this small town, they werent there so we went to go contact so potentals, and we discovered that the Waverlys mascot is......... A Scottish Terrier!!!!!! They are called the Scotties. HAHAHAHA I thought is was so cool so we got some pics of us with TJ in front of the sign.

So this week we will be having Zone Conference which will be way fun, I always learn so much at those meetings. Then obviouly we have Conference which Im so excited for, we will be having food at the church. But I have got to watch what I eat Ive gained I think 5 pounds, Im getting a little chubby around the belly, And thats because Im in a car area. But Ill watch my figure, or a least try to.

So Nothing really new with the investigators other than Jonavon is still on for the 14th of Oct. And Im pumped! Hopefully us and TJ and his dad will go to the temple. That will be cool for TJ and Terry. Also there might be a Betty Holsm that calls either Mom or Dad. She is Jonavons grandma, and I guess she wanted to talk to my parents so that might be happening soon.
But I love you all and hope you will enjoy conference.

Hello People

 So this week Booker did not get baptized sadly:( And its because his family made him tell us he doesnt want to meet at all. But I know that he has liked our visits and church. So hopefully he will call us to come over. Its really sad when things like that happen but we just have to keep on moving, because we did our part. And sometimes people dont make the right decisions but we cant force them in to anything.

But Jonavons date is still on I think. But he is really solid because all of his family are members.

 So big STORY!!!!!!!!

So we had a member give us a referral so we called this guy to meet so we set up a time. We go to meet him and we come to find out he is a Jehovah Witness! Ive never meet one in my entire life. And it was so obvious what they were doing trying to convert us! But they have more luck converting 20 Catholic then converting to Lds missionaries. We have more stronger testimonies then a lot of other people do. They were very forceful and were trying to tell us we were wrong but we got through the restoration lesson! So I can say I taught Jehovah Witness's the first lesson on my mission. They seemed to be really brainwashed. And In know its not Christlike to say that but thats how they acted. The whole time I just wanted to leave. Because you dont get anywhere when you bible bash. Its so different then how we teach. We dont tell people they are wrong, we give them a choice to use their agency. Like the way Heavenly Father intended it to be.

But we have some more people we are going to set a date with. And they are related to members!. Brad who is a half brother to a member. We will set a date today hopefully!. Then Heather a daughter to a member. Which we can set a date on tomarrow! Its so exciting. It sounds like you guys are having a fun time. I cant believe the fair is starting! And Where is Tate going? Does he know yet? I cant believe its been a year since I opened my call lettter! That seems not that long ago. Time moves fast. Its like Pres Clark always says " Your Missions like a bat tub"

I love you all and pray for you. Thank you for the prayers

Love Elder Foster

 Sorry I only have 30 min to use the computer. lessons going good, hard but good. And Tell everyone that I did get to go to the temple. most of them are older and lucky went on a mission so Justin still has a chance. That’s good Hadley did good. And the guy from Colorado is kind of a cowboy, we worked in the oil fields forever with his dad and he loves snowmobiling and I just know you would like him. And the oldest person in our district is 25!!!! so yeah crazy. And my companion  just learned about the gospel by missionaries only a year ago and was baptized so that cool. love ya
