Hey Mom and Dad!!!!
It was great to talk to you guys too!!! The truth is I haven't thought about home too much while in the mission so I really haven't missed home a ton. Even just before calling I was pretty chill not too worried about it , but after hearing your voices and hearing about everything that is going on, I really miss you guys! As of the 1st. . .the new year. . . I'll only have another 9 months in the mission left---talk about it is really flying by fast!!!
Anyways we are going to have a baptism on the 9th and it will be awesome!!! My companion's first baptism in the mission!!!
Oh yeah, about the Spanish scriptures. . . they will give Aaron a pair in the MTC!!! He'll be using the new bible. . . I still am using the old one and I'm debating whether or not to buy the new one.
Anyways things are going great!!!
Love
Your Elder Berghout
P.S. Oh yeah, What are Bakugan Figues????

Hey Mom,
Haven't heard anything from you for a couple weeks, I think I should probably be getting your package today....Everything is going great!!!! We got transfers this week. . . .I'm staying here in the same place!!!! We are sure to have some baptisms this transfer, we have a bunch of investigators progressing right now so I'm glad to be staying!!!! Oh, yeah and not have to go to a new area and not know anyone for Christmas!!! (His companion didn't change either)
I'll be calling in a couple weeks ha ha but I'm still not sure exactly when.
Anyways
Love
Your Elder Johnny Berghout

Hola Dad!!!
Ha ha. . . yeah we didn't even get Thankgiving.
Nice, yeah we have really had some nice weather here too, then yesterday it got pretty cold but it's really been a lot nicer to work.
Do you think you'll get moved out or maybe they'll decide to make you Stake President or something . . . (talking about how long Dave has been in High Council)
Well anyways. . .about what is going on here. . . We have been working really hard being super obedient trying to do everything that we are asked and my district also. Now the other two companionships in my district are having a lot of success in their areas but it just seems like nothing wants to happen in our area, its killing me. I want to baptize so bad especially with the elder that I'm training cause I remember how bad it was not baptizing with my trainer and only can imagine how he feels. Something could still happen with the people that we have but the chances are looking slimmer and slimmer the closer we get to the end of the transfer.
The time just seems to be flying by too fast, I can now count the months left on my two hands as of tomorrow and I want things to happen before I finish my mission.
Anyways that's just about everything

Hey Mom!!!
(When asked what he would want or need for Christmas)
Maybe some more garments but as of right now nothing much else maybe another pair of shoes. I'm not sure that mine will make it all the way through the end of the mission. I'm hoping that they do but I'm possitive that they will. The ones I have right now are the Ecco's, I love these ones a size 45 or 46. Oh yeah, and shoe polish, I bought another thing when I started in Roca but i just ran out and I haven't been able to find any more here that's very good and with that a new pad to spread it. These are some things that I could use but I won't die without them so don't worry.
