ELDER HOBBS

pictured with the Mission President and his wife

ELDER HOBBS, Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, in the Colorado Denver North Mission. Arrived in Colorado June 7, 2010 after three weeks at the Missionary Training Center in Provo Utah. Will serve approximately 24 months, to be home sometime in May 2012. His mission covers Northern Colorado, Southern Wyoming and Southwest Nebraska and he will be sent to various towns within that area for weeks or months at a time. We love and miss you, Elder!!

Please write to Elder Hobbs at and send packages to:

Elder Anthony Hobbs
Colorado Denver North Mission
11172 Huron Ste 21
Northglenn, CO 80234

You can also email him at anthony.hobbs@myldsmail.net but he has very little computer time, so mailed letters are the best.

He would LOVE to hear from all of you, and would love care packages. He needs FOOD (money is a bit tight in the mission field, they love to get things like cake/cookie mixes, treats, dry goods, canned goods, etc) and of course money. Elder Hobbs has waited to arrive to purchase things like a bike and warm winter clothing such as coats, if you want to help him with such things, he would greatly appreciate it. He is out there working hard everyday and would love your support.

Please keep in mind, his preparation day is Monday. This is the day he has to email, shop, do laundry, play, etc, so please understand if he doesn't respond quickly and if his emails and notes are brief, time is limited for him.

BECOME A FOLLOWER SO YOU CAN GET UPDATES AND SO HE CAN SEE WHO IS 'WATCHING' HIM!

July 12th

Got an email from Elder Hobbs today. He is so good to email each week, we are so grateful to hear how he is doing. He says that he really enjoys all the service that they do. It is possible his companion, Elder Slezack will leave this next week and he will get a new companion. The mission President told him he was staying in that area, so he is waiting to find out who with! He says that he has been sick and still is not getting enough rest, but hopefully he will adjust soon. He very much likes the work he is doing and is very confident he is doing the right thing, but gets tired. I received a memory card from him that contained over 300 pictures of what he has been doing since he left, what a silly guy!! So many that make you laugh, but mostly it was just good to see him. There were a few where he and his companion played 'dress up' with some knight costumes, they were quite hilarious. Other than that he says they are doing the pretty much the same things every day. They have a few investigators which is exciting because they haven't had any in a very long time. In the end he just says he cannot complain and that all is well!!!
