Dear Family,
I'm just loving it out here right now, it's really tough but I understand my purpose and the lord really blesses us so much every day here.
For example Tiffany whom we are teaching right now is receiving so much anti literature it's ridiculous. She asked us if other churches receive this much anti and we told her no. I seriously think she might find her answer just from all of the anti people that have been talking to her. This week has been tough for her. Her mom came over and got into an argument with Louis Rodriguez Tiffany's husband the less active member. She tried to tell Louis that he was brainwashing Tiffany and that made Louis really mad. In fact he was so mad that he called the cops so that they could handle. It just goes to show how hard Satan really doesn't want Tiffany to become a member because he knows she's going to be great. It's really tough to work with them but I know that they have been prepared there's no doubt in my mind. On Sunday morning we got a call from them saying that they wouldn't be able to come to church because their daughters were both sick. I thought to myself my eye your not coming to church. We went right over gave those two girls a blessing and brought the family to church and guess what they loved it. That's right loved it I mean seriously who wouldn't love it. Sometimes the gospel really gets my blood pumping. Everyday when I wake up Satan says oh shoot Elder Judd's awake.
Just yesterday we talked to Mikey Feleciano who has been coming to church for six months and we asked him why he has not been baptized and he told he doesn't feel his testimony is strong enough. We found out really that's not the case it is just that he has a few issues with the word of wisdom. On Tuesday we are going to address that concern and challenge Mikey for Baptism and he's going to accept I love it.
Thank you for your prayers I have really been blessed lately. And if I sound a little prideful I am. I feel as Alma did when he told his brothers that he dost boast in the lord and not his own strength. For I know I am nothing compared to the power of god, but with the power of god i am everything and powerful I love it.
love Elder Judd

Sorry family,
Sorry i didn't write yall a letter this last week. I needed to because of the wonderful letter i had recieved for my birthday. I only wish i could've been there to here it all but it still really touched me. However as you all must know I was packing on Pday so that's why i really didn't have much time.
My New area is called Clermont where i am companions with Elder Mansfield from Lehi Utah. Elder Mansfield comes from a family of 13 so we can relate quite a bit. I really enjoy Elder Mansfield and we really get a long. It makes me more excited for Christmas to have elders who'll be fun to be with. As for Clermont though it's the most hilly area in our mission so my legs have been real sore the last couple of days and i've been building up my stamina and leg stregnth. By the time i leave here my thighs will be cut. But i told my president that he needed to send me here as my last area so i could get in shape right before i came home.
I've been having some good succes here with Elder Mansfield and we are excited to work hard. We set a baptismal date yesterday with a kid named Eddie Moore. We were both pumped and that day just did a lot of challenging and testifing. We also have a kid in our ward who's been living with some members and has been taught everything. We just found out last week from bishop that he wants to be baptized so that makes us even more happy.
The Ward here is so great and they are so genuine. None of the members here are fake and they all like to tell you exactly what they're thinking. Really i can appreciate that especially when we have investigators who give us retarted excuses all day long.
Well that's pretty much it for the life of elder judd, and sorry for not writing it totally feels like i'm just way out of the loop.
Love Elder Judd
