Staying in Texas

Hi family 
so to begin yes everybody talks about the election with us. for some reason everybody things were campaigning for Romney and we kind of sort of are. we have a Romney poster in our house. most people down in Texas want Romney. but there is a couple of Obama fans (not to be racist but mostly black people) o here is a crazy  story. so there is a scary apartment complex that we work in alot. and there is one apartment that has an Obama sign in the window. so one day we went by and guess what the apartment was on fire! it was the only one in the complex that burnt and they also happened to be Jehovah's witnesses. elder dalias family knows MIT Romney so every time he sees a sign he yells ROMNEY! 
so we got transfer calls last night and i am staying in Wichita falls Texas and elder dalia is leaving he is going to be a Spanish missionary in the quail creek district. which also happens to have like 6 sets of sister missionary's. we call it the relief society zone. im getting a new comp named elder pug-myre (i have no idea how to spell it) he has only been out 3 months so im going to still be training him. i was really scared for transfer calls because elder jones and elder beams both guessed that we would be shot gunned out of the area. (that means we both leave and two new ones come in) they do that to keep the area fresh and if its a small area like the one we have, it happens every six to nine months. 
so i guess we will start out with the week.  on Monday we went over to the smiths house to make belt buckles. they shoe horses for a living and their one of the top in the country.  so we started out with a flat strait piece of steel and then we sheered it. forged it in 3800 F, hammered it on an anvil, bent it, welded it and shinned it up. they look sick. and we made them our selves :) one of the coolest pdays of the mission i felt as if i was in jewelry class again but alot bigger. 
on Tuesday we worked in our area found some people to teach one of there names was domingo he is a really cool old guy that works on the air force base. 
on Wednesday was Halloween we wernt really supposed to go out that day because Halloween is the devils holiday. jk but really lots of bad stuff goes on. so we cleaned the house and visited a lady named sister Charles. she has been taught the lessons like five hundred times. i told you about her last week. her husband is a preacher and she is thinking about going our church but is scared what will happen. so on Wednesday we taught her and the spirit finally convinced her that this is what she needs to do. so she will be baptised on December first.  the rest of that night we helped a family with there horses and did some farm work than we went home and waited for little kids to knock on our door. none did so now we have tons of candy in our apartment. 
on Friday we had district meeting and we found out that we are getting 86 new missionary's, so our missionary total will go from 130 something to 216! crazy Crazy face! that means that 43 new areas will have to open up and that some time soon the mission will split in half. the Lord is hastening his work like a boss. i cant wait for the second coming. after district meeting we at a place called Ganges grill (do they have those in Utah?) but super good food. and then  we went on exchanges with the zone leaders. elder nesbit came with us and we tried, and tried, and tried people but no one was home. then we were just about to go back and i thought of a girl that we met the another week that we could visit. so stop ed by and she let us in. we started talking about the book of Mormon and then we taught her about prophets and Joseph smith. she loved it! and now she is getting baptized on December 17th (you have heard of 17 miracles but you ain't never heard of miracle on the 17th) 
 on Saturday we had dinner with this one family that were helping her quit smoking and they fed us burgers. there a little crazy but super nice. they have the gift of see ing spirits. so they have interactions with dead people all the time and they happen to see demons every once in a while.  O and did you get that moving to Utah stuff yet? they want to move in like January or something. so if you could get that to me that would be help full or get some websites for them.  
      one more thing (hey Lauren do you know what that's off of?) it been getting semi cold out side. so the mice/rats decided that our house would be a great spot to camp out for the winter. so we bought some traps and we have caught six rats in about 48 hours. crazy! we caught one and it just got knocked out by the trap so we had to kill it. and since no one wanted to man up i had to do it. we thought about ways that we could kill it  in a most horrific manner but we decided a nice stop on the head would do the trick. (elder beams wanted to water board it so that it would tell us were the others were) 
so life for you guys it sounds crazy. how is your health doing? how is dakota, jake, tyler, ryan, zack, brenden, jared, luke, tyler tullis, and everybody else. you should get them to write me! that would be great! what are you doing for thanksgiving?  anything fun? 
Lauren your a good girl just remember that. and put some Periods in your letter. 
thanks for all that you do for me i love you and i will talk at you ladder gadder. 
Love Elder Clements
