After coming home from his mission in September, Joshua was able to return to the mission field April 9. After being home for 7 months.
I'm so pumped!!! My companions are so dope! As soon as I found out who I was with I felt at home and all of my stress went away.
I'm in a zone leader trio companionship with Elder Mckeon (the AP from when I left and he knows Kynlie) and Elder Toki (he is Tongan and has cousins in Vita's ward)
So many blessings on transfer day!
Elder Jensen (my son, the one I trained) is my DISTRICT LEADER! So we see him every couple days. Elder Burgess is in my friggin zone so we see home once a week. Sister BEAL is my Sister Training Leader. Just an absolute wild set up here! Everyone's dope and I'm hyped about the work.
I'm in Illinois now. The Shiloh ward in the O'Fallon zone. The ward is amazing and so much more interactive then Bear Creek. The weather was 35 degrees yesterday and 70s this week. I'm so close to St. Louis I see the arch way more often!
I'm about 25 minutes from St. Louis and was 2 1/2 hours from St. Louis when I was in Bear Creek. I went on an exchange already with Elder Burgess and that was dope to be with him again! He took me to east St. Louis!! The most ghetto part 
the houses are crazy cheap. Ask me about it on the phone when I call! (he said they talked to a guy who had just bought his house for $750.00 CRAZY!!)
I feel so at home and feel so much more at peace this time around 
repentance is legit., but man my back hurts more than it ever has
I'm taking my meds throughout the day. My pain is like an 8 in the evenings, 9 in the morning getting out of bed and a 7 throughout the day. I don't just sleep in the brace, I even had to wear it today to shop. Please don't worry about me or feel like you need to send a billion things or even a mattress topper, it's life and if it gets to that point I feel like I'm losing my efficiency, so just keep praying
I love you so much
You say I make you proud, but you as my mother knowing your son is out here and getting through each and everyday and putting up with all of us children, you make me proud.
Love, Elder Newbold
PLEASE keep him in your prayers and pray for a miracle that his back pain will be taken from him.
