Hello everyone,
So this week has been pretty good. There was really no amazing miracles but just a solid week of hard work. It feels good when you are working hard and you are able to see good things happen! I really can't complain there!
For Thanksgiving we are going to the Browns home. This family is a newly married couple and they both graduated from BYU Idaho. Nice people that don't really have a lot. Whenever we go over there for dinner, there is hardly any food and you just feel bad. But they signed up for Thanksgiving and Saturday so what do you do. There is a family in the ward that is AWESOME!!! They have become my best friends out here. They even ordered me there family pictures! How awesome is that? They offered for us to come over before or after the Browns so I know I will eat plenty. I am grateful for both families being willing to help us out!
So I will give you a list of all the people I am working with to keep in your prayers:
Peter, Helen The Seipel Family, Elizabeth and Michelle Newell, Kevin, Kristen, Mauricio, Leo, Glen Pollard, Hope and Steven, Jose, Raleigh, and Diego. That is just a list of the people that we teach at the moment. They are all really great with a variety of cultures!
Thanks for the sweaters! They are fantastic!! They have been great! I really can't think of a whole lot more I need! Maybe a box of candy but hey I am doing great!
I am going to miss playing football but I guess you have to sacrifice things. That is something I have learned a lot out here. Being willing to give up the world for things that really do matter! Love you all and be safe!
Love,
Elder Westover

Hey Everyone!
I have been trying to continue to find new things to try when going on splits. Anything cool that any of you have done? It is hard when you go out with people because you want to have solid plans and things just fall through. We do pretty good about setting things up when people come with us. That does help them want to come back out.
So with Facebook, I can only do certain things but I have it set up that I have to approve things that go on my Facebook. So I will look and check it out and see what pics you posted. It is just all being tested so we will see what all the rules are and what we can and cant do. People can friend me at Elder Austin Westover.
It sounded like Brooks first Scout camping experience was fun and I am glad he got to go. He needs to continue to grow his testimony and read his scriptures. I wish I would have been ALOT better at that.
Well not much new here, Life is good and I love working here. Love you all! Let me know how everything is! Love you! Be safe!
Love you!

Hello Everyone,
My Ward mission leader has been great and has made a huge impact on the success we have been having. I hope that you can help the missionaries out a lot and I hope they are working hard.
So the car has been nice now that it is starting to get cold. It is really not that bad yet. The high is in the 40's and 50's and then in the 30's at night. I have been only wearing my vest and I have been ok. I wish I had another one just to change things up a bit, but I have really been OK. The car makes it super easy cause for the most part you drive from place to place. No snow yet but they said it really does not snow a lot here. I guess we will see what happens.
Elder Fitzgerald and I are staying together again this transfer. I am now done being "trained" and this will be my third transfer since arriving here. It seems weird that I have been here for 12 weeks now. Time flies when your working hard and having fun! I am excited to see what President wants from me in the coming transfers and what some of my responsibilities will be. I guess they thought I would train after just being trained which is super rare I guess. I take that as a good sign! Oh well, I am working hard and that's all that matters.
I hope everything is going well and that your all safe! Thanks for everything!
Love,
Elder Westover

Hey Everyone!
I have become good friends with the Assistants to the President; especially since one was my zone leader before the last transfer. When they took our car at the beginning of the transfer, they told me they would try and get one for us. On Wednesday they actually were able to get us a car! It was awesome! Its a 2014 Chevy Cruze! I was pretty happy not to have to ride my bike in the cold anymore. The bike is fun when the weather is good but beyond that it is no fun. All of our hard work payed off I guess!
President has been super happy with the work we have done in this area. My guess is that I will stay another transfer and have another 6 weeks to see what I can do. I am not sure how excited he gets with other people but he told me that we are tearing it up right now. That's a good feeling for sure! I have been studying hard so that I can help teach other people when that time comes. I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for me.
It sounds like Halloween has been a lot of fun this year! For us we got to go to the church with our zone and watch movies and eat pizza! We watched Monsters Inc. and Monsters University. That was fun to relax with the other Elders and to enjoy the day. Also, we had a member come and reverse trick or treat at our place that night which means that they gave us a huge bag of candy. It was awesome!
Missionary work is not easy but I know I will grow if I can work hard and serve the Lord. Riley and me are emailing which is fun. He sounds like he is doing well. I heard about Emery and her cheer competition which is so cool! What a great opportunity! The ipads are going to be cool so I hope that I can teach some of these people your working with or know at home. You might get a friend request on FB from me soon! We will see how long it takes.
On P-day, We play basketball usually. I went to DC once and I am trying to go to the temple this next week. But yeah, lots of basketball so I can't complain. Do my pictures look ok? My camera has been good so far.
I love you all! I hope everything is going well for you! Be safe! I am working hard. I am starting to see the Whys in the work. It helps me go out and serve each day. Thanks for your letters and the advice.
Love you,
Elder Westover :)
