The last picture is of Elder Stout and the Mission President. Elder Stout is serving as AP right now and keeps very busy. He loves his mission so much. Can you believe he is going to be home in 3 1/2 months?!

The large group picture is of the entire zone on a Preparation Day a couple of weeks ago. The dinner picture was taken last night, March 1st. They went out as a Zone on a "Blitz" in one of the Spanish areas and then some of them went to a members house for dinner.

Reminder!

Elder Stout has a new address! If you need the new address, please email me and I will send it to you right away! Thanks!

What's wrong with this picture?

Each night Elder Stout and his companion come home around 9PM and do 2 hours of planning, check on each zone missionary and make calls. It seems they got busy and didn't finish getting into their evening attire. :)
half missionary / half pajama pants.

Haircut Time

There is a lady in Elder Stout's ward that will give the missionary free haircuts, however, she has been out of town for awhile. Elder Smith, Elder Stout's companion, decided to take matters into his own hands and gave Elder Stout a haircut. We've been told it looks great! :)

I'm now serving as a Zone Leader in East Sacramento. It covers two wards and the YSA and family ward. We have three YSA's that are getting baptized really soon. I love working with them, they are just so ready for the gospel.

Love,
Elder Stout

I received my transfer and will be heading to Sacramento to serve as the Zone Leader. It was hard saying good-bye to everyone in Tracy. I honestly never thought I would get so attached to an area and the people I serve. But you honestly you grow to love the people you serve and I will miss the people in Tracy a ton!

On Sunday night Charlotte had us over for dinner. (She had to feed me again before I left!) When we arrived at her home we moved into the kitchen and it honestly looked like Thanksgiving there was so much food. I think I gained about 10 pounds, but I was still able to enjoy her amazing cake. I'm really going to miss her.

In the BOM I have been reading about the prophecies that Nephi had. Especially the ones about the Latter Day America. It amazes me the type of council that the BOM gives us. Of course, we have the agency to accept it or not and it is sad to see so many people choose to use their agency in an unrighteous manner.

Love,
Elder Stout
