I'm not sure what to expect when he gets here. I do know that I can't wait to hold that boy and know that he is safely home. I know that he has been protected and watched over by millions of prayers said for him by faithful members here and all over the world. I witnessed that as the last Sunday from the pulpit I heard those words as they prayed for the missionaries and I found the tears flowed freely as I realized he would not have those prayers for very much longer. And for that I am sad. He truly has been protected and watched over. I am forever grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who I know with ever ounce of my being that He is aware of him and knows where he is and what he is doing. As well as me and my heart and has whispered to it many times that he is okay, and that is what go me through many days and months of this journey. But, I'm so excited to Welcome Him HOME!!!<br />

His plane landed so late so there were so many friends and family that came to welcome him home. It was so great to see him come down that aisle. No words can describe the emotions, but maybe the pictures will speak louder than words. Enjoy...<br />

Here it is. His last email. It's so awesome. Everything you want them to
learn and find out for themselves is testified here. I want him home so badly
and yet I don't want it to end for him either. It's so hard. I can't explain it.
I am forwarding this in its entirety. A few times I have taken out the word
freaking as its used more than it probably should. But today I left it in. I am
so proud of him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you so much for following his journey. Your prayers have been felt
and appreciated. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enjoy. It's a great one...</div>

What is happening man i am freaking out i have no idea what to think i feel
like my life is ending i don't know how to explain it super weird feeling this
week was great in Roatan we had 12 investigators come out to church and the
people here are awesome the people in Honduras Are amazing man i love them i
love everything about this country i just don't know what to think that its over
but I had an amazing week we aer actually leaving Roatan tomorrow in the morning
to go to a zone Meeting in La Ceiba so it will be cool we will work in Ceiba
until Jueves then on to SPS for the Friday night and Saturday...... so yeah we
will see what happens i just don't know. I guess there are just so many I DON'T
KNOWS right know and i have to just get stoked about it.<br />
<div class="gmail_quote">
<br />
Well i cant believe what has just happened this is my
last Pday....I don't know what to really think of that I'm scared excited i don't
really have any words to describe it. As much as i really want to see you guys
and see everyone. Honestly i want to stay here I love Honduras sure its a little
bit dangerous as we all know when you google search Honduras it comes up as
Murder Capitol of the world and the most Violent Countries known today <span style="color: #3366ff;"><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT74"><a href="http://opishposh.com/the-10-most-dangerous-cities/" target="_blank">http://opishposh.com/the-10-most-dangerous-cities/</a></span></span>
( check this website out haha) there are drugs gangs and everything pretty
sketchy in the world AND I LOVE IT. Before getting my mission call people would
ask me where do you want to go i would say one of two things usually Bismark
South Dakota or I would say I want to go to some sketchy city Like Detroit,
Oakland or New York. haha and for that i was sent to the most dangerous country
in the world. Which i am so grateful for. Through the Ups and the downs i have
learned so much. The mission IS the best thing anyone can do in their life to
better it. Not only have i learned about myself and what i can do. Who i am. I
have gained a testimony that i WILL NEVER LOSE I know that Jesus Christ is the
savior of the World that through Him we ALL can return back to the presence of
our Heavenly Father and live with our Families which is really the only thing i
really want in this life . To Be there with my family to have Happiness and joy
all the time. I have learned you can NEVER GIVE UP no matter where you are
because Jesus Christ is right there with you helping you along Everyone Falls
down everyone gets a bump here or there but He will always help you. NO ONE has
fallen too far or too deep that his arms are not there to grab us. No one is
perfect we all have our faults and mistakes and we can become better. Through
prayer and scripture study that is an amazing thing we have in our lives that we
can have that relationship with our Heavenly Father. Honduras is FULL of amazing
people that i have met and talked to during these 2 years I love them. They are
my family and just like you guys i have and will do all i can to help them. I
have come to know that Heavenly Father loves every one of his Children NO
IMPORTA where they live in what circumstances they are in he loves them and
wants the best for them. He wants the best for all of s we just have to do our
best. I think the theme that has definitely made my mission and changed my life
is the message i found one day in the MTC of Come What May and Love it. That is
how I Live my life walking i the rain, and the heat. Not having people accept us
watching so many things crazy scary or whatever the word may be. YOU HAVE TO
LOVE IT. It s so true Learn to laugh remeber the law of consencration and DO
YOUR BEST and leave the Rest to the Lord. Pray and Know that everything will get
better because if you've had a bad day in the morning it will be better and the
next and the next life's a roller coaster it has it's ups and its downs but we all
have to find joy in the journey This is another thing i love i know it is true
we don't just do something we enjoy to have it end quickly but we have to find
joy and happiness and enjoy it. I dont know how else to say it. I know that the
Book Of Mormon is True it is i can tell anyone and no one no one can prove me
wrong. Try to i freaking dare you there's no way from what is in THERE, What
Joseph Smith went through to have the book there is absolutely NO FREAKING WAY
its not true I know its true If you don't know find out for yourself this book i
love. On Wed. in the morning i was reading it and just a warm spirit came over
me that really can only come from this book. There are a Billion Answers waiting
for everyone there are blessings to all that read it. I love it. I don't know
what else to say there are about a million other things i want to write i want
to share and i guess shortly I will. I cant wait to hear what has happened over
the past 2 years up in the NSL area igual down here there are funny and crazy
things that i cant wait to tell you its gonna be sickyyyy! But really honestly
this is my testimony the church is true and THAT'S all there is too it. I love
all of you so much thank you for all the letters the support everything. I'm
stoked for Stetson to start his adventure it'll be the best thing he will do in
his life. Love you all </div>

It's coming to an end and to be quite honest, I have been a little sad the past couple of days. I want him home so badly, and yet I don't want to wish it away for him. I know that a big piece of his heart will remain there, and I can not fix that. But, we could not be prouder of all that he has accomplished and the man he has become. Six days...enjoy, it's almost the end.<br />

Well this place is amazing i will not lie its pretty awesome so last Monday
after i wrote we went to a place called West End and walked to West BAY so
pretty white sand beaches and just way clear water its really tight we ate some
lunch and just saw all the like touristy spots which was really cool its awesome
here that's i really think the only word to explain it. So My comp is way cool
Elder Valerio I've known him my whole mission and hes cool also to be here with
elder Williams is so tight cause we know a lot of the same people and its fun
haha hes cool too and with 4 elders we just laugh and have fun so its a good
time. The island is fun its weird to just be so far away from everything but its
all good. The members here are cool still getting to know alot of them they went
to the open house of the Tegucigalpa Temple and it was 3 days long to go from
boat to Ceiba then to Teguc. and back they were suppose to return Sunday Morning
but......there was a big storm and they got stuck in Ceiba so we moved the
church until 4 o'clock Sunday with hopes that everyone would return and the
attempt FAILED they got stuck in Ceiba so hahah it was prett tight i got to be
the President of the Rama hahaha so funny and direct the meeting with the other
missionaries the attendance was well alot bigger than we though a whole 13 people
showed up haha but it was good we had the sacrament and a short testimony
meeting so really it was great.
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh also just a little FYI we were eating at this lady's house the on Sunday
and she gave us some soup with a little bit of meat and a bone and so I'm sucking
on the bone and boom a part of my permanent Retainer came unglued with was
horrible cause i was licking it and it was cutting up my tongue and stuff so we
had a little Dentist 90210 style with Doctor Elder Valerio that cut it out with
a Pocket Knife soooo i think i will need an appointment when i get home. Also
have you talked with Peterson's what are they doing when Peterson gets home trip
or anything. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So other than that awesome stuff it has been a pretty chill week i cant
believe its March what the heck how did that just happen . I don't know what I'm
going to do where will i work.....where am i going to school.....ah so many
questions that i just don't have the answer i know everything will be okay but i
don't know much more than that.</div>
<div>

As you will see, he is going to finish his mission in a beautiful place. His email is short, but he has lots to do. I'm certain he was sent there with the knowledge he is a good and obedient missionary to be trusted. He is now with another missionary that actually went to Woods Cross, too. What a small world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whats Up Family well not gonna lie this week was super tight but I'm talking
supper cool so Monday kinda sucked when they told me i had a change i was like
what the heck a change why I only have 3 weeks but whatever so we got on the
bus Tuesday night at 11:45 to get to San Pedro Sula at 9 O'clock Trujillo Colon
is super far from SPS so we get to SPS and no one believes i have a change and
its super weird so they call my name and president says im going to Roatan hahah
everyone went crazy i went crazy it was so sick haha im here with my comp Elder
Valerio from Costa Rica he goes home with me so president said we were going to
Roatan to get things happening here and to have a little vacation time before we
go home hahaha so it was a cool deal i think. So then that night Wed we are
riding the bus and I'm just like i think Stetson got his call im gonna call just
to see and BOOM exactly I think Monterrey Mexico is SO SICK it'll be way cool for
him he will love it i saw that there is a temple there so that is cool but man
I'm stoked for him hahaha June 12 is going to come way to fast but it'll all be
good. So then on Thursday we took a ship fro La Ceiba to Roatan it takes about 2
hours to get here but the ride was way fun i loved and so we get to Roatan and
there are 3 HUGE cruise ships here I'm just like freak this is cool Roatan is a
whole nother world it's well....PARADISE WE HAVE TO COME BACK HERE its awesome
bvut we have just been working with the memebers and yeah its cool so in the
house there are 4 of us Its super cramped but we are doing good i definitely cant
complain how could someone complain about being on a Cariibean Island anyways
Honduras is Tight The mission SPS is splitting as well so we will see what goes
down. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Anyways this is a short email cause we are off to go and explore the
Island....how sick does that sound right i love you all you're the bomb im glad i
could listen to Stetsons call made my day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>

This week we anxiously await Stetson's call for his mission. And as excited as we are here at home, Bridger seems equally as excited to hear the news. He is hoping to get permission to call when he opens it and with faith it will happen. He wrote me a very tender bday greeting that I will include her as well. Even though the letter is to me, I want him to remember how awesome this is. Not sure this would have happened if he had not experienced all he has as he has served faithfully and learned what truly is important in life. I love him so much and so proud of who he has become. We are so excited to have him come home, but yet I know a big piece of his heart will remain in this place he has called home for the last two years. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
What Up<br />
<br />
Well first Happy Birthday Mom haaha i cant believe its already your birthday that's crazy are you guys doing anything fun going to dinner, or movie let me know.SO this week was pretty average teaching wise we are teaching some way tight people This one lady named Jenzie hahah she is so tight i love the black people here the garifunas as they are known they are so freaking funny they are soooo chill and always laughing which makes it fun to teach them. this week we had divisions this week and it was funny because the elder that i was with was having the time of his life we got done for the night and he says man you guys teach cool people haha i think that's what its all about the mission is to find and help all of our Heavenly Fathers Kids which we all are so they are pretty much my family right. So i have to have fun with them. bUT i think thats why i want so badly to help and baptize these people so i can see them again and hang out with them en El Reino Celestial right. Man i love being a missionary its really the best thing in the world nothing compares to your own adventure...wherever you go I am so excited for Stetson to open his call. He will have the time of his life and everyone is going to love him out there because hes a way cool kid as you all know. So any guesses of where you think hes gonna go i want to know where Grandma and Grandpa think and Mom or Dad do you guys have a guess i don't know i have been thinking about a million places from Jamaica to Hawaii to San Diego Cali or Chicago a ver verdad where he freaking goes but not gonna lie im stoked this week went by kinda slow i think bcause im just waiting to know haha funny how we always wait for big moments in our life right. Im trying to be better about that like Prres Uchtdorf taught to Find Joy in the Journey haha which we all have to do right find joy in all things. So yeah pretty much thats it i think the excitement is more at home this week then here in Honduras the ony thing is is that on Wed it hit 100 degrees haha and its hot again believe it or not but the best heat is about to come in the next month so cant wait for that. What else has been going on oh so this week here's the big news of the week Trujillo got to go to the Open House of the Tegucigalpa Temple it was super exciting here everyone getting ready also some of our investigators went 13 hour bus ride there and 13 hours back they were all in a bus for a total of 26 hours hahah but everyone said it was worth it so that was the cool part we saw pictures It is a beautiful temple i love it. I have definitely taken for granite the temple in my life to see it almost everyday of my life on the hill these people are lucky if they go 2 times a year!!!! its amazing to see the members its like the pioneers i feel because to go to Teguc. was a real sacrifice there was money to be raised and it was hard but in the end like everything else it was worth it. I love that that everything that is hard is all worth it in the end. The Church is true i will never deny it and i can tell anyone that with no fear i love the Book of Mormon and know its true I'm almost done ending 3rd Nephi this will be the 4th time in my mission and it just keep getting better. I love the scrip this week 2nefi 33:10 Believe<br />
<br />
And as always Come What may and Love It<br />
<br />
Love Elder Bridger Clayton<br />
<br />
And my birthday letter from him...<br />
<br />
<br />
Mom<br />
<br />
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I can't believe its already the 18th of February that seems so crazy to me but I wanted to take a minute and write you a letter and tell you how thankful and grateful I am to have you for a mom in my life. You have aways been there for me i was thinking back to the South Davis Jr. High basketball tryouts...(what bull crap right) anyways i just remember i felt like the whole world had fallen down because that was my dream that is what i wanted more than anything i think the best word to describe me that day is...devastated. All i remember after is calling you and you coming fast to pick me up and help me man things so small have changed my life forever. I think about the time my car was stolen and you went with me at 3 in the morning to the Beverly Hills of salt lake to get it with me. I was ticked honestly i know you know after dropping it in rusco i was mad and you told me everything would be ok. How did you know that i have no idea you definitely saw farther than me that night. And i have thought about these almost two years and how you have been behind me and been my strength when i have needed it most. To go to Internet every Monday and read your emails fills me with a spirit indescribable I love you mom I really do and i will ALWAYS be there for you too.I have carried a sticker of Winnie the Pooh and the saying with me my whole mission so that you could be here with me as well. I hope we make it back to Honduras one day that you can meet these wonderful people they are amazing. There are some places we definitely cant go for safety reasons haha but it is all good. I have never really been worried about me in my mission but more than anything you guys at home that you have all the needs and that everything is good. Anyways i love you so much i hope to catch you for a second today and wish you a Happy Birthday i love you and well cant wait to see you and give you a hug. Even though i don't really have the desire to leave Honduras everything will be good i know like they say come what may and love it.<br />
<br />
Love Elder Bridger Clayton<br />

I was so excited to hear about his birthday and that once again my prayers were answered and he was very much taken care of. I so hope he has a picture of the 21 candles in the cupcake. That would be a great site. I am so hoping he is going to be able to finish his mission in this area that he has grown to love so much. And, yet I have watched that wherever he is called, he rises to the occasion and he does just fine. This week will be the last transfer of his mission. Hard to believe, 27 days as of this writing that he will return. Stetson's call for his mission will be coming this week, too. Bridger is hoping to get permission to call and hear where he will serve. I hope he can. Love this boy, who is now a fine young man. He has certainly made us proud. <br />
<br />
Well freak I'm old man 21 what the heck am i going to do now with my life i have no idea but whatever its all good this week was so tight hahaha seriously so fun so Monday we went to the Fort it was built in the 1500s by the Spaniards and still stands its pretty cool still has the cannons and all so that was fun to do then on the 6th there's this kid named Juan here that is about to go on his mission hes just waiting for his calling and it should be here soon so he told his mom not to do anything for his birthday so that at the opening of his calling he could have a cake and all for all those who will help support him on his mission so i thought that's so lame to have a birthday and not have a cake so we talked to this tight lady of the Branch and she helped us make a cake that we baked in the church.....SICKKKY it turned out so good seriously he loved it and his mom was super grateful . Also this same day Honduras Played USA in soccer and the US lost freak not gonna lie people tick me off when it comes to soccer sometimes everyone tells me ...Hey you know we beat the states in soccer right who cares but everyone tells me i just laugh it off and say we were practicing and we played the bench but hahah whatever good for Honduras that they can actually Win right so that brings us to Feb 7th si hombre so tight we got up in the morning and went to Tocoa and there i got my bday package which i was stoked about and then to celebrate we went to Wendy's and got a FROSTY so good i love a frosty after we got home i opened my package soooo sweet literally so much candy haha thank you it was fun to open my comp was just like Holy Confite haha its been good i put 21 candles in a hostess cupcake don't know how but i did it then made a wish so it was tight. Then we went and well it was way fun cause 3 different families made me a cake hahah so i am super done with cake right now thats all i can say but it was fun I had a good day but really what made it was the package and your guys letters thanks so much for all of that. So then on Friday we got up to get all ready for the wedding of the Familia Lino these guys are so cool we have been working with them my whole time here and have been on and off in the church for a good 6 months and now Friday was the big day. So it was supposed to be at 1 but.......of course we didn't start until 2 but everything worked out perfectly so it was good. So after the big wedding we went over to crash the wedding party haha it was tight we ate some arroz chino i like that so that was fun and yeah man i love Trujillo really just want to stay here because i love it, The Branch is so cool i love the black people they're so fun they jam to the reggae music off Bob Marley Sean Kingston and everything and are just a really happy people its way fun here on the coast. So ya that was our week it was way fun. Oh also get this story remember Kevin who got baptized like weeks ago in the ocean so we are working with his Mom because she is so cool but just says she needs more faith...anyways we go to teach here and we get there when she tells us that Kevin has had an accident ok these guys live in a 3 story apartment so first thing i think is oh freak he fell....and she explains that he was outside and wouldn't open the door for her and she got all ticked and he had a piece of wire in his hand so she tried to take it from him so that she could whip him with it....nice right anyways she yanks and Kevin holds on tight when she gives it another pull and she found out that it was a piece of barbed wire and when she pulled it completely sliced his hand open...BLOOD EVERYWHERE holy crap so it only happened minutes before we got there,. She calls Kevin and he comes out with his hand wrapped in a white T shirt soaked in blood and didn't want to go to the hospital and so we convinced him in going and sat in the hospital for a good hour while they put 20 stitches in his hand then we went and got some ice cream so freaking nuts the day it was crazy.<br />
So then on Saturday we had the baptism of Juana Lino and two kids it was so tight a really great time the whole branch practically came to the baptism and it was awesome Juana Lino is an enfermera and super tight almost everyone knows her here she is so freaking cool she has a little 7 month old girl named Genisis so awesome i love going and hanging out with her so anyways as you can see it was a way bomb week I love you guys you're the bomb I'm gonna talk to pres Veirs about calling to watch Stetson open his call so ill let you know<br />
<br />
Love elder Bridger Clayton<br />

<br />
This email was so short and of course always wish they were longer. However, when I got home from work, there was a handwritten letter for me addressed MOM, and one for Stetson. It was truly a blessing. Hope for a longer one next week, but it's all good. His 21st birthday is this Thursday. Hard to believe that this young boy we sent to Honduras almost two years ago is now a man. He has truly found out who he is and what he believes. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
Anyways i feel that way right but i know I'm not haha freak i cant even believe i am gonna have 21 years is that not just insane to think about Trujilllo has been pretty chill this week and it was a good week the Jovenes all went to San Pedro to practice dancing for the open house of the temple which is so tight i dont think i have ever been so excited for a temple everyone is so stoked for it its only 12 hours away instead of the usual 25 from here in trujillo hahah its gonna be so sweet im excited the open house begins the 11 of February and goes till the 2nd of march the mission of SPS is not invited... typical right but whatever. it will be good. I cant wait for them to complete the temple it will be an awesome thing here in this country. Also have you heard anything abiout my homecoming or anything like that just let me know what day it will be on the 17th I'm down with cause i want to go to Petersons anyways. Yeah pretty chill week i don't know what else to write.<br />
<br />
Love You so Much<br />
<br />
Love Elder Clayton<br />
<br />

You will remember that Bridger gave his freshly new missionary companion the ocean baptism last time and asked that we pray for another one so he would have the opportunity to do the same. Well, his prayers were answered and as you will see from the awesome picture so were ours. He is so happy and as of yesterday he will return in less than six weeks. Some tell me it goes by quickly now, I do not wish it away for him for anything, but I'm not going to lie, I can't wait to hug this boy who is now a man. Enjoy, it's short, but a great one.<br />

He replied back with it was a bit chilly in Honduras too. 76 degrees and he had to put on a sweater. Not sure I can even relate. I'm just about ready to book a ticket to pick him up. He is doing awesome. I also found a bonus picture on the mission blog with Elder Peterson. Today is 49 days until his return...I just may make it after all. Enjoy...<br />

<br />
Cold here too freak it hit 76 geeze I had to put my freaking sweater on cause I'm not used to it its horrible<br />
<br />
<br />
Well a crazy week has come and gone and this is the final week of January can you believe that anyways to start off I got a call on Tuesday saying I had to go to SPS for my residency I was stoked cause a 70 came elder Mayne's and colon was not invited but I got to go because of the special circumstances so I had divisions with some other elders that were going as well we worked the day then got into the bus to go to SPS at 2:30am yeah we are so far from San Pedro not even funny but we got to the church at 8:45 so long trip when the multi Zona starts and only goes for 45 mins what huh oh elder Mayne's had to catch a plane so he was off quick its cool listening to a 70 they're great guys. So I get my residence done and we are back on the bus to go to colon at 3:30 so as we are waiting to go there is this girl that's sitting alone in the back of the bus with just a garbage bag of stuff. And honestly something hit me like go talk to her, but I'm just thinking its my head and all when I finally ask another elder named Roper to come with me and talk to her.....so we get to her and were just like hey what's up where are you going she tells us ceiba and so we ask her if she has ever talked to missionary's and she says " I'm a member" wow heck ya that's sweet so I start asking here what ward she is from and all that so then she says no I'm going to my uncles house she's from Tegucigalpa but was coming from ocuetepeque because her parents \ kicked her out of the house and she had no where to go..her parents aren't members and she is only 14 years old she had the idea to go to the states illegally but got scared so she was going to ceiba I couldn't believe it this girl only 14 years old was just lost lost and scared and we freaking found her. When we started talking to her she lit up knowing that the church is in ceiba man it was a cool experience just something that tells you God knows every one of his children. And loves them so that was tight.<br />
<br />
So finally after the San Pedro excursion I got to Trujillo Friday at 11 to a HURRICANE I have never ever seen such a storm it was crazy so crazy we couldn't leave no power wind knocking down trees flooding houses it rained for 36 hours and right now still raining geeze its bad the good thing is our inv. went to church and we have some baptism dates this weekend hopefully 3!!!! But we have to see how everything goes Trujillo is super tight I love it i love teaching and looking at the ocean freak the ocean is TIGGHT love it so yeah that was the week pretty much it was sweet well thanks for all your love and support you guys are the best love you so much.<br />

However, his generous heart gave the opportunity to his "kid" or companion. We also were able to chat back and forth with him quite a bit and he is getting nervous about returning home and school. I hope he can forget about that and understand that he has done is part and Heavenly Father will do his when he returns. He is so happy as you will see in the pictures he sent this week. So enjoy...<br />
<br />
What up family how are you guys well let me tell you a little bit about what went down this week in Trujillo<br />
<br />
<br />
Well Monday all the elders form colon were here there was 12 of us sleeping in our tiny tiny house hahah it was a real joke and no one slept good but it was a fun night I hope you got some of those pics the lobster here is SO BOMB!!!! Haha anyways being here next to the beach we eat a ton of fish but I'm talking a ton I think this week I ate fish 6 times haha but I do love it freak fish from the ocean is so good also shrimp this week we can definitely say it was a better week for food so that's good thank goodness.<br />
<br />
So this week also we had a baptism it is this Garifuna kid named Angelo it was sweet and honestly I wanted to baptize sooooo bad but my kid elder Mauricio had never baptized so after the interview I just asked him if he was ready to go swimming in the ocean Saturday haha and he just had a big smile on his face he was stoked to do the baptism in the ocean it being his first one haha it was a way cool moment. He did a good job so now we have a new goal that I can go swimming too haha so I hope it can happen. I will send some pics home of the baptism because si hombre it was tight.<br />
<br />
So well really that was our big week it was just a regular week but fun like it always is the members here are tight like 65% are black so that makes it even better haha they're tight though like its so chill here I feel like if I was in Jamaica but it makes for a fun time here.<br />
<br />
Also I want to thank chelsy draney for the Christmas package it was AWESOME!!!! I'm definitely gonna have to thank her personally for that because it really was a spirit booster the what she did was an advent calendar and everyday to open the bag was 2 pieces of candy and 2 quotes quotes from apostles or movies until there was an actor Steve Martin and yeah anyways every quote had a positive message and a way we can look at life better it was honestly a great package so please tell her THANK YOU!!! From elder Clayton by the way how's Zach Jensen doing home right or have you talked to Aaron Markasich well anyways that was my week thanks for everything I love you guys so much you're the best.<br />
<br />

You will see that is doing well, and loving his new area. I love this email. I can hear his voice and laughter as if he's telling it to me. This is a good one. I thought about taking one of the parts out about what they eat and then decided its worth sharing. This one is lol. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
So sounds like its been a pretty cool week at home I hope you all had a great time we went to the beach today and played soccer on the beach it was so sick I loved it so fun then I ate some lobster crab and shrimp a HUGE plate for a whopping 10 dollars pretty good deal right the ocean food is pretty bomb and its fresh so ya anyways.<br />
First off might. Just say come what may and love it i know you're sick of this quote but I freaking love it. We just have to do our best and leave the rest to The Lord. I think more than anything out here I have learned just that very thing. I have thought about ohhh a million things this week hahah anyways I love you here's how the week went.<br />
<br />
Well it has been a really good week here in Trujillo on the beach haha that sounds pretty tight to say anyways this week lets just see there is definitely not the best food out here miles away from the big city so this we we got the pleasure to eat chicken feet, cow liver and cow heart and kidney are you kidding me why do people eat this stuff it's HORRIBLE but downed it like a champ with a little help from the tortillas my comp on the other hand had a well we can say rough time and did not finish the food we hit up a pulperia after and it was all good so that was Tuesday ok so we get to Thursday and go to dinner where they give us a plate of eggs beans and rice pretty typical and then the Hermana throws some pig skin stuff I don't know what we would call it but I can say it was fresh so fresh it still had all the hair on it so ugh that was rough but then we look in the bowl To see if there is anything else other parts that are edible when I see it.....

This week I was so looking forward to his email as I was a little concerned about his being in a new area, brand new missionary and what would happen. This will not disappoint. He is such a great missionary and will train this new elder to love his mission, just like he has. He is doing awesome and you can tell he is going to be just fine in this new adventure and area. It was so great to talk to him and it felt like he really was right there with me. Just like old times. So, enjoy, it's a good one...<br />
<br />
TRUJILLO COLON<br />
So hey we just came off of a 5 hour hike i am DEAD but ready to start the new year right<br />
HEY guys how's it going i hope you're all ready to start the new year and do as Katy Perry has told us and "don't ever look back don't ever look back" we had a message last week in church about freak I don't know the story all that well right but soddom and Gomorrah and the wife of or her name is Lot and so the story goes as you know the city is wicked haha an apostle came and actually compared San Pedro Sula to this city but anyways said it would be destroyed and the needed to leave in the instructions to leave we're specific........go now and don't look back and what did she do looked back and turned to a pillar of salt so the message was with 2013 don't look back on the bad look at the good and keep going forward we make mistakes every one of us but its with the gospel of Jesus Christ we can be healed and keep going. I really can't believe that for 1 full year I did not one time NOT ONE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!step a single foot on American soil haha pretty cool huh I'm pretty much hondureño you could say but it's all good.<br />
<br />
Man how awesome was it to talk to you guys on FaceTime isn't technology freaking amazing you guys were honestly only a foot away from me I loved talking to you and I loved cooking with mom it made me feel as if I were home again hahaha so it was good my comp had a good time talking as we'll even though he has only been away from home for 21days he felt good and said the time went by so fast which don't know why but it really does fly. Thanks for all of you're love and support you guys are the best a mission is the funnest thing in the world. This week was pretty awesome we had some good city's and I feel that we will have a lot of success in this area in Trujillo we have found some really awesome people and I'm pretty stoked its so pretty here definitely one of the top 5 prettiest places I've ever seen in my life it's awesome I love the ocean the great salt lake has nothing on the ocean.<br />
<br />
But I do like training it's awesome to work with a new elder that has the spirit of a new missionary I've been learning a lot and decided I'm gonna read the Book of Mormon 1 more time completely before I finish its about 8 pages a day but I can and will do it. So anyways I also did want to say I love you guys and I'm fine I don't know why maroon 5 made a music video of my experience in calpules but haha oh well just know I am fine never have been better and it was a one of a kind experience more details to come so haha just wait. So yesterday wasn't the best day in church but we just have to keep going.<br />
<br />
<br />
Love Elder Bridger Clayton<br />

He was changed to a new area. He is now 10 hours by bus away from the city in a place called Truilljo. We looked it up on Google Earth and it's a really pretty place. His new companion is from Mexico and he is a trainer again. It was so good to talk to him and see his face. We were able to talk for a while and it was really difficult saying good bye. As his mom, I sure wanted to have him stay with Elder Peterson until after the holidays, but the Lord knows best and I'm certain he will be just fine. He has been entrusted to a fresh new missionary to teach him how to be an effective and awesome missionary. He looks and sounds great.<br />

First a couple of pictures of him and Elder Peterson. This week may be a bit sad as the two of them may be changed. Hoped and prayed it would happen after Christmas, but we will see. He was changed last year right before Christmas, which not sure why a it couldn't wait until after the Christmas, but that is one thing I'm sure will be answered during our phone call. Can't wait to hear his voice. Sure love him and am so proud of all he is doing. I really appreciate the words he tells to who ever is reading his email about going on a mission. It is scary thing to decide to go and his words are an answer to prayer for me as Stetson is preparing to send his papers in. It's a good one, enjoy...<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">1st off yes got the package this
morning sooo bomb i haven't opened it yet because we have been running around
getting everything ready but now its all good today we had a great PDAY we me
and Peterson decided to make an American breakfast for the zone (with the help
of the Hermanas) and watch a movie of Christmas so awesome we watched this new
movie ive never heard of it i think its new called Arthur's Christmas so funny i
loved it we watched it in Spanish so it was alll good also we had a white
elephant gift exchange while we listened to Christmas music our Zone is AWESOME
i think today was one of the funnest pdays i have ever had with my zone man i
hope we don't have a change i want to stay with Peterson for one more change so
hopefully we will see what happens the next change is freaking 9 weeks long so
we will see how it goes. Anyways what a week i don't think we had one normal day
</span>
<br />
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Whats Up Holy smokes we are so close to
Christmas can you believe it i cant it seems to be flying by this month so this
week was INSANE for Elder Peterson and me we ran everywhere we took out more
papers and were in the registro national of personas for so much this week but
it all ended good. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Well changes are this week i still don't know
if i will have a change nut we will see what all goes down it would be cool to
stay with Peterson for 1 more change just cause hes freaking cool and i love
that guy but no one really knows right now but in a day or two we will know so he
how are we going to talk this year facetime??? Or skype just let me know so i
can get ready and well i want to call on Tuesday is that cool but it wouldn't be
until the afternoon I'm thinking but let me know what you guys
think.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So anyways the zone caught fire this week we
had some sweet baptisms our baptism went awesome with Sofie so legit she got up
and bore her testimony after and it was so good we had a way cool Hermanas
Hermanas molanfy crying after cause we also watched a way cool video of Christ and how we can remember him during this Christmas season honestly I love
Christmas there is something.....something different I can't really explain it
but it's amazing here even though Christmas isn't that big I love seeing lights
and trees it's the best. Ya know I do have to say the mission is the
coolest/funnest thing in the world to do with your life anyone that's reading this, because you learn so much you learn about Christ you learn about the church but
most of all you learn about yourself who you are and who you need to be and I
think that is the best. Watching people get baptized is soooooooo cool there is
just something about it that makes you feel good. I'll have to send you a pic of
Sofie she's AWESOME!!! well I can't wait to talk to you again sorry this email is
all over the place you're the best.</span></div>

It is so much fun to ready his emails each week. You can see that both him and Elder Peterson are loving their time together. I am praying that they do not get changed this week as it's a transfer week. I have prayed hard many times and this time it is for them to be able to spend Christmas together. I was looking at the mission blog and found some bonus pictures on there, so exciting they are at the bottom of this post. Enjoy, it's a good one...<br />
<br />
Heeeey how are you guys doing today well this week was good alright lets just start it off with a little adventure so the aps are good friends of ours they re way sick and we wanted to something cool for the multi zone on Wed so me and Peterson put our thinking caps on and figured something so sick out so we go and contacted this guy who's got a LIMO white way sick and we ask him if he could come and pick all of us up and we will ride to the meeting in a white limo with Pres. Veirs so the guy was way cool and said ya which the plan was a go so then to get everyone a little more stoked..well a little background info our mission is AWESOME to spread news or gossip hahah so we start this rumor with just 2 elders that we hear that an apostle coming and boom by 9 at night everyone KNOWS KNOWS that Elder Christopherson is on his way hahah so funny so we dressed up way nice got our suits on sunglasses and Hats the limo came and picked us up with President so then we pull up and everyone is just going crazy and the driver opens the door and hahah the crowd devastated haha man it was so funny but everyone was a good sport about it but man we pulled a good trick on em so funny. Then they chose me and Peterson to Announce and run the talent show hahah it was a good time.<br />
<br />
So that was funny also we just had a crazy week we had some meeting with the stake pres and we need the zone and the stake to do better so hopefully we can this week in the zone we have 16 baptisms planned so ya we need everyone of them and we have a baptism this week of Sofie so cool shes awesome itll be this Saturday so we are excite for that it will be good. Anyways ya pretty much no one went to church again this week only Sofie so we definitely need help in finding people man its killing me so ya hopefully we can find people this week!!!! Pray for us to find people and that people can find us some how well i hope you all have a great week i love you all so much you're the best.<br />
<br />
Love Elder Bridger Clayton<br />

You can tell they are having a wonderful time. There are rumors of them staying until temple dedication which is in April. I guess we will wait and see what happens. Thanks for all the support and prayers always appreciated and felt. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
Man what a week this week flew by insane i cant even believe it so we had a bomb week though i will say that so this week it first off started with RAIN RAIN RAIN it poured here for 15 hours straight it was a mess streets turned into rivers roads collapsed houses and neighborhoods swept away it was crazy we got to go and help out a bit with cleaning houses out and everything but what a mess man but the church did a great job with volunteers and some people slept in the church for t a couple days so ya also a bit of Good news Tegucigalpa Templo is DONE we are just waiting for a date now but they say it will be for sure before the next general conferance which is good news because with the release date being changed i will still be here in april hahah i still dont know what to think about that but whatever. Also so in our zone there is this one Hermana Named Hermana Lopez she is freaking coool from Costa Rica and it was her birthday this week and she doesnt have family or anything at home so we i guess you can say ^KIDNAPPED^ her and her companions and took them out to kunch but we didnt want to just go the typical beans and rice Honduras style so we changed it up and went out to CHILIS hahah wow was that good and she was stoked she had never been to a place like that and she loved it they all sang to her and we got a cake after all it was so worth it because she called me and Peterson and thanked us again and again for having the best birthday ever and how she felt and how she would never forget it it was way cool SOOOOOOOO worth it she was excited so that was good also last night we went to watch the christmas devotional i honestly had never seen it before nor did it ever call my attention but it was AWESOME Elder Uchtdorfs talk was amazing the same with Eyering and Monson they are all awesome guys. well i hope you guys have a great week STETSON i am sorry about you car that blows big timwe i hate people like that that kind of stuff ticks me off all the robbing and stealing it helps NOONE but youre all good man dont worry.<br />

<br />
<br />
So what did you guys think of our little surprise haha pretty cool huh we thought so we talked about doing it and we loved your reaction yes we are comps so what I couldn't explain last week was how changes went cause we had to keep it a secret but it was something like this...... They get to zona San Pedro SULA. And they're going in putting the zone in when it's time for the new ZL of SPS with me so all I hear is "elder Peterson from jazmines will go to centro SPS as junior ZL with Elder Clayton ..... Whooooooooookaaaaaaaoo the crowd goes wild I'm telling you everyone is just like are you serious baha so Peterson gets up with me and we finally sit down and president just says "I think I screwed up " laughing so changes were cool! And me and Peterson have. Been working hard these 2weeks we have 1 girl progressing for baptism so that's good sofie I think she will. E baptized the 8 th of December so ha we just. Red to get more people to church dang it so pray for that that more can go and that we can find a family to baptize for noc<br />
December I would love our zone to be. Celestial if that happened I could stay another. Change probably so that would be cool pray for us that these things can happen but hAha I can't. Believe it's almost December wow I am going to send a package home anything you guys would like if you can tell me by tonight at 6 I will be able to get the message so ya tell me anyways this week was full of excitement I think the funnest part of the mish is getting out and just working that's when you see the craziest and funniest things ever. Like this week one day for lunch we went to a chicken place in centro right in the heart and were eating when some lady walks in and all the uneaten food is at and starts throwing it in a bag when all of a sudden the people who were eating go back and have to kick the lady off their table because they were just filling their drinks up hahah man I felt bad so the lady threw the chicken and beans back on the table and moved on to the next one Peterson is just in unbelief and I'm just kind of chuckling just cause its so normal but whatever all good when all of a sudden she pulls a 180 and taps Peterson on the shoulder and asks him if he is going to eat the huge piece of chicken on his plate mind you it is untouched and he was going to eat it when he's a good guy and says no go for it and boom that thing was in the bag in 1.2 seconds my head spun it was so fast hahaha man good times.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well also we had a really good time teaching this week found some good people they just need to go to church so well hope for the best also I wanted to share a story with you guys about Omar caballero remember him the guy that me and Johnson baptized well he has been a real friend to a member of the church named Jorge Gonzalez and this is who told of his Christmas story ..... One Christmas Jorge had nothing to give his family for Christmas over 20 years ago he didn't know what to do so one opportunity came to sell chairs yeah chairs to make some money it was the 23 of December and Jorge had no idea what to do or to whom he would sell the chairs when the thought came to him of Omar caballero he calls him up and Omar says bring all of them to me Jorge a little astonished replys I have over 100 here that's not important bring them to me so he takes them to his house they unload and put them in the garage after Omar just gives him an envelope with the money and says Merry Christmas Jorge goes home and when he gets outside his house he opens the envelope to find a lot more money then the chairs were worth so he calls Omar to say this when Omar says the money is not<br />
Important have a merry Christmas I love you and they hung up. Hearing this story was amazing what a friend what an answer to a prayer awesome I love Omar caballero he's so cool a guy with a huge heart I live Christmas a time when we can think more about others then ourselves I love you family you're the best thanks for all your love and support and prayers they are felt I love Honduras especially te city it's awesome I love you so much have a great week.<br />
<br />
Love elder Bridger Clayton<br />

We had an awesome email with
great news from Bridger on Monday. If you remember, Bridger had a roommate in
the MTC, Elder Peterson who was like another brother. They had so much in
common, oldest of three brothers, the Nixon or BIG watches, sunglasses, etc.,
and they became fast friends. Josh's mom and I went to lunch to meet and then
we got our families together and we have met with them every 6-8 weeks for
dinner. They are one of the choicest blessings of his service. <br />

WOW Thanksgiving can you believe it its already freaking here unbelievable
i thought how you said that this year it will only be you 4 but then i really
thought that's all you really need is you re own family you know what i mean sorry
i cant be there but for sure the next one right haha anyways i hope you guys all
eat some turkey and mashed potatoes I'm sure i will be eating some Beans Rice and
Tortillas hahah but its all good i like that too believe it or not i really do
love the food here sometimes i even get a craving for a banana soda ah man
those are bomb anyways so what else happened this week school should get out on
Wed for Caleb at least so that's cool also we had a good wee this week in church
we had 2 news come a inactive family that has a daughter that is not a member so
we will start to work with them and also a way cool guy named Antonio who has a
problem with alcohol in his life and just wants to change so i know we can help
him he just has to help himself too anyways the weather here too is changing
a lot its actually cold i think which is sad because its really only like 82
degrees but i have no idea what i will do if i ever get home in March ahhh I'm
dead oh well. Also this week we had a blast because me and my new comp started
to jump into the Christmas spirit buying lights and putting them up in our room
and listening to my Christmas music i love Christmas time its just a different time everyone well most walk happy and there is just something in the air we
also are going to do something cool tonight so there is a nice family in our
ward not the most well off family but they love the missionaries so tonight we
are going to have a family home evening with them and buying pizza!!! They have
no idea but it will be good. The ward here in San Pedro is doing good we just
now need people to teach the mission is struggling a little bit and we need to
help it i always get so nervous on the last week of the month but all is well we
just need more investigators and for people to accept this message i sometimes
wish the church flowed as smoothly here as in Utah like i remember in our ward
always started on time and Mom taught us to always be on time for whatever
appointment or date we had to do and that is just something that kills me here
is people being late even if its only 10 mins late your late man its a killer
anyways its all good. This change will be a good one i can feel it we just need
to find a family for December that we can baptizer so that in a year they can
go and get sealed in the temple! Anyways so Changes were this week my comp is a
Elder Denìs hes a good guy with an awesome outlook on life I've known him alot
through the mission and hes a good guy so we will work hard and turn Zona San
Pedro Around and being better anyways i think that's something i love about the
Gospel is you have to be the best you can be getting better everyday but there
are times we stumble and we fall down but we have to get back up and keep
trucking on. Well that's it for this week thanks so much I love you</div>

Last week he shared his testimony of the Book of Mormon. Today he sent his testimony of the Gospel. He has a strong testimony and you can see loves what he is doing. This is so awesome to know that he has learned to stand on his own and has witnessed the spirit speaking to those he is teaching. I love him and am so proud of all that he has become. This is a great one. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
So well this week was pretty normal i guess we had elder castellons last week he goes home on Wednesda to Managua Nicaragua so I will have a new comp on Wednesday I have no idea who it will be I always get nervous for changes but we will see what happens we had to make a movie for the changes to get the missionaries excited to come to our zone its freaking sick we are going to have a member put it on youtube so i will give you the direction when they do it. So this week we had the baptism of Fernando whey pilas.com I'm telling you its nuts he is an awesome guy after his confirmation on Sunday he went to the temple prep class cause he wants to go to the temple so bad freaking awesome also so supposedly the date for the dedication of the Tegucigalpa temple is somewhat out March man i hope I'm here that's really all i want is to see it dedicated it would be so awesome. Yesterday we were here in the stake center and they were doing interviews for workers in the temple everyone is so excited for the dedication i love to see it in every ones eyes and as they talk its what everyone wants its what everyone is waiting for not having to go to Guatemala on the 12 plus hour bus ride now it will only be 3 hours away so that will be awesome i hope one day to come back and actually be able to go to it that would be so cool. Well the church is true that's all I'm going to say last week i talked about the Book of Mormon and its a true book and this week man i just love the church i love going and i love watching new people discover it for the first times its great and helps everyone of us. Anyways the only thing I'm a little nervous about it is for my new comp and well we don't really have any possibilities right now because we work in two areas but after 15 months of being closed they are going to open it that's great news for them because they have 2 baptisms set up for the 24th of November hahah and in Centro we have nothing so we have to do some finding i hope we can do it, Well i love you Family i think i will be back on later today like at 4ish i hope so anyways right now we are running around doing last minute things for elder castellon hes cool I've had a great time with him.<br />
<br />
I love you so much you're the greatest family in the world,<br />
<br />
Love Elder Bridger Clayton<br />

This email is one any parent would love to receive. Your whole life you hope you kids obtain their own testimony and to know he has is wonderful. I have to admit tears flowed as I read this weeks happenings. He has truly become a man as he serves these people. And at the end when he says it was a hard week, you certainly wouldn't know it by reading his words. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
Well today is the 4th of November i cant even believe it how crazy right changes are not this week they are next week the 14th of November so ya this week there aren't any changes but the zone is doing good and we are doing good too this week we have another baptism of a guy so freaking cool and Fernando hes 29 years old going to school and is just awesome we talked about know about if the church was true and hes just told us i know its true without a doubt and then hes like you guys talked to me about baptism... when can i be baptized we told him this week and he is all for it hahah so its awesome also we have another family the Familia Romero that they will be baptized this month of November so that is great man also a highlight of my week i finished the well i guess its El Libro de Mormòn but to you all its the book of Mormon yes awesome book i honestly have a testimony of it.... its TRUE i can say it without fear i know it i feel it its true and can help everyone of us its true there's something about it when you read it read it with the right mind that you just feel good. I LOVE IT. Also San Pedro is awesome i heard a song the other day when we were in the taxi and so then with a members help we found it on the Internet that just describes San Pedro For me the song is called This City by Some dude from fallout boy and Ludicrisp ok seriously this probably isn't the most spiritual paragraph in the world but i love that song i love this city of San Pedro Sula its the bomb all the people all the craziness there is nothing else i could of asked for i know that i am suppose to be here right now and at this moment and Heavenly Father knows it too i have seen it with everyone of my comps and every single area so also some sweet news Omar Caballero the guy who johnson and i baptized got the priesthood and his calling this week in church he is the first counselor in the Sunday school presidency!!! and hes stoked outta his mind i love him always greets me with a big hug love the guy hes awesome. The Fam from La Lopez that we baptized had there baby and sent me some pics they are going to the temple in December!!! Amazing that's all i can say. Well those were the highs of the week it was kind of a tougher week but you have to look at all the good things right. Well i love you guys you're the best.<br />

Sounds like his week was a good one. He has sent so many elders home, which I think would be a little difficult. However, I did receive an email from President Veirs yesterday saying what a great missionary he is and always has such a positive attitude. He wants to finish strong and will. Enjoy...<br />
<br />
WOW can you believe that October is freaking over what the heck?!! well i guess we will now welcome in November right i cant believe it anyways how was your guys week i hope everything is good my week was good we had the baptism of the Familia Ortega which was awesome i wrote dad this but here this is just how COOL this family is so was less active and he is a well known painter down here that paints traditional art and sells it around San Pedro and Teguc. And so his wife is a Doctor that works in the best Hospital in San Pedro freaking sweet and they're son Julio man what an awesome baptism and what an awesome family that was awesome so awesome. to watch someone be baptized is just so cool and then after Jenny shared her testimony about how all she wants to do is in one year go to the Temple so that they can be together forever!!! So Awesome i mean to hear that man you really feel good you know what i mean anyways that was the good part and so that was awesome then this week teaching wise we freaking sucked it up seriously i have been a little sick and so that slowed us down and also as you know i am killing again my comp is going home in two weeks and man we just gotta get that desire in us some days and its hard but we just have to keep going the hard thing is we have baptized all the people we have been working with and now we have to find more we have a baptism scheduled for the 10th of November so hopefully we can get all the papers and everything in so that can happen and I'm praying that Elder Peterson can come here and be my comp ah that would be so freaking cool that's what i want so bad but we will see what happens well anyways thanks for everything fam thanks for all the support.<br />
<br />
<br />
I Love you So Much<br />

This week's email came with a couple of bonus pictures. I love when he sends these. The first one is a picture of the flowers they took to a sister that feeds them. So glad he has such a compassionate side and is so thoughtful. He tells of his Sunday School class discussing the story of Joseph and his brothers selling him into Egypt. We took Bridger to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat when he had his perfect birthday, turning 7 on the 7th of February many years ago. He loved that play and would sing all the songs with Stetson over and over again. It's fun to see that as they are discussing it all he could think of was Donny Osmond being Joseph. Totally worth the expensive tickets we bought to have many years later this memory come to him. </div>
