More Snow... Really?!?!


Wow you seemed to have had a good weekend. I am so happy for conference. It was my favorite one so far. Things are kinda getting warmer but alas it seemed to have snowed last night. Oh well, I am starting to just not care about the snow. Its just another day in the mission. Things are a little slower here but we should start to pick up a few more people to teach. I am warming up more and more to the area. And it is slowly become apart of me. Not much is new for me. I am just taking it one day at a time. Today I did get to go fishing and that was a fun 2 hours and we only caught 1 tiny fish lol. It was fun to just kinda chill and relax. The fun thing about the quote you put at the bottom of your email is that Elder Falabella came and spoke to our mission back before Thanksgiving. I love you so much and miss you more then you know. (no worries though not enough to come home yet lol) Oh here is some news, our mission will split again July 1st!
I love you,
Your Elder Son

Back Into the Feeling of Full Service


Don't worry about forgetting the cd. I figured that you had decided to send it separate from the package. I did Get the Easter box and I loved it. I am enjoying the contents very much. Thank you so much for it. It brought a smile to my face.
Things are picking up a bit here. We are finding new people that we are teaching here. We have been doing well. When ever I feel down I look at the letters you have sent me and they cheer me right up. So I want to say thank you! You keep me moving and help push me through. I feel that our Heavenly Father wanted me to remember I'm not out here for fun only, but that I am out here to serve Him. Thank you so much for reminding me of D&C 122. That has helped me the most.
I am really getting back into the feeling of full service. I love that I came on my mission. I love that you always knew I would. And I love that Heavenly Father knew I needed it. As I have gone and changed my thought process, I have come to really love my Savior. I look forward to hearing the counsel of the leaders of the church to help pick me up and move me forward. Thank you for your love and teachings. You are as the mothers of the stripling warriors to me. Those that I teach and help are effected by you because you helped me become the person I am and the one I wish to be.
I love you so much. I am so very grateful God gave you to me. I hope that Emma will get better. I will keep her in my prayers as I always do but will put extra effort in it.
Love Elder Felton
Your baby boy

Easter Bunny Requests


Hermana Meek is a missionary that should be serving in the Evansville ward. She is a Spanish missionary from Idaho Falls and is cousins to Elder Heep who I served with. Things are going good. Our area has been picking up but it is BIG. I have been meeting people that are great. I got to see Napoleon Dynamite's house in Preston. I also got to go up to Smoot, Wyoming. It has been a great getting to be around the missionaries in my zone. I am sending a letter soon. We came down to Logan for p-day so I don't have much time to type. I love you so much. I got your package and loved your letters. They have helped me so much and have motivated me each week. I love you so much! My request are Reses Eggs. lolLove, 
Elder Felton

Short and Sweet



Thank you so much for that. I was a little mad because I had to stop reading it so as not to cry in public, lol. We are currently reading the Book of Mormon from March 15 to April 15 to have read the whole book of Mormon cover to cover to help out the seminary classes here in Soda Springs. We have recently gotten 5 people to agree on a specific baptism date. This is great because they had not really had a date to work toward. This is good because they have become more motivated to go to church and read the Book of Mormon as well. I Have met some wonderful people here who have been a huge blessing. I really love the people out here. They have given me strength to move on. I had a question for you.  I have had "I Can Only Imagine" stuck in my head the last few days cause someone had been playing it. I I love you so much you can only imagine (lol see what I did there? Man am I am a dork) Things are really picking up here so there will soon be more to talk about.I love you so muchlove your best son... ME! lollove Elder Felton

Keep On Trucking


I will have to convert Carl when I get home lol. Things here are going ok. The members have been amazing and they are all super nice. Elder Singleton has been great helping me to get to know the area up here. He is a kinda shy and quiet but has a great testimony  He is on his 3rd transfer and he is still in the same area as when he came into the mission. We are currently covering two stakes, and because roads can be a little rough out here we have a TRUCK! This is one of my favorite parts about being up here. My former companion elder Smith is mad that I came up here and he didn't  he wanted to  drive the only truck in the mission lol. We have a few people that we are working with and soon might be able to be baptized.
It has been slow so I don't have much to talk about but I am sure that I will soon.
I Love you so much!
Love Elder Felton

IDAHO!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to Soda Springs, Idaho and I will be a district leader there. I am excited for this and for the chance to serve up north when it warms up a little. (and I mean just a tiny bit lol) I will miss the people in Pleasant View and Elder Heap. I have really enjoyed my time in this area. This will be fun. Preston, ID is where they filmed Napoleon Dynamite. I will be close but not close enough to be able to go there LOL. I got your packages and I love the box of Grippos. I let a few other missionaries try some and they loved them. Let granna know I got her package. Today has to be a short email because I have to pack once again. Thankfully I didn't unpack all my stuff. I love you so much Have an amazing day! 
I love you momma.
