That is awesome! I dont have much time to write today especially since
it is Christmas night, but i did get a calling card and will be calling
in the morning to see how things are going with yall! I hope that you
had a wonderful christmas today which was very bright and sunny haha NO
snow before i leave! Today we got the chance to hear from elder Bednar
and it was a FANTASTIC talk! Talk about wow. It was very point blank and
touched very deep on things. I think everyone should want to be a
better person after hearing it. Anyways, I hope that you have a great
time in Cedar City and have a safe drive and good time with the family.
Send my love for the last day here in the CCM! Havent even started
packing so i should probably do that.. Thank you for the presents, and
thank you for the card. I would like to send something when i get to
Mexico to everyone. We will see how soon that will be.

I really dont have much time but i will get some stamps here from the store so i can write back and not have to rush! its crap we get only 30 mins to email back since that allows for only 3 or so to answer. So i just wanted to say im good and that i cant believe its already 2 weeks into this. Colbie i havent seen since the first couple days that we were here but see will everyday and night haha! ITs quite fun bein next door. The chance were slim when you consider the 2500 missionaries here. This is just a small email but i will send a real letter in the next couple days. Hilarious that Jeff was not sure about her and now it has come to this with them! Dad... haha you would wreck my car when i left! Hope your at least ok and dont have to go to no chiropractor or nothing. I want to say to be on the lookout for any Southern Belles and if you are unsure, just ask them and if they are. tell them to write me hahaha! P Days are nice. I have had a lot of free time to doing whatever today. mostly study since i want to learn so bad. I did get the letter from Dear Elder with grandma and grandpa and kenny and nancy and you guys. Tell jeff to quit Coke if he didnt get that job.

It
seems that they are starting missionary week a little late this year?
But man im suffering here with all the problems we have had with moving
and the offices and all that good stuff and feeling like we have barely
any food. It was a pretty stressful week. I have come to realize that my
companion is about as opposite as i am in about just about everything.
This companionship just didnt happen by luck of the draw, that is for
sure but i will learn from it what im supposed to. We did end up
baptizing that lady this last week which was the highlight and she has a
good testimony to go along with her. The only thing that really
reeeeeeeeeeallly worries me with her along with the other one we
baptized and a myraid of others is that most cant read it seems. THey
need to be able to read but there has been quite a few that cant. So i
need to figure out some type of plan for the entire mission i believe.
This will happen more then once.
As i said we moved to another place which is about 5 times better than the other one besides it bleeds us dry a little more with the rent each month. Actually has rooms and feels warmer and just everythng is better! The thing that i struggled with the most is that im such about get things done that i know are important but my companion would put it off, put it off and then we would be late or have to cancel something or like today! Im writting you on a day that is not my pday again but i will develop those lovely Christlike Characteristics and go to the Lord to help me. Today is the first new day of transfers so i have officially completed my first transfer in the field! I really have learned alot and with how much time remains i cant wait to see how much more comes saying that this was definitely the most challenging time in the mission thusfar!
Tami really be a missionary and go to the temple this week everyday like you said you would like to. Try and be like a missionary and only cook in the house this week without going out to eat to make it more real. Maybe do a random act of kindness with big boy for missionary work and also you can have it be where you and dad are companions so him to without the tv and all that jazz and listen to church music and just see what the difference is. Make goals and report in pray each day and measure your progress. Then you will be able to really see what missionary week does for you. I hope things workout with your troubles amongst your yw. Something to learn form this :] Challenges and trials come to test our faith and also to progress and learn something new. Im really learning this right now and especially service and charity and not losing my pacience, but bearing the burdens... With Christ!
As for the package its all good. I can ask the missionaries in my district or what not and also i will get back to you on that next week but i believe if you do airmail it comes alot faster. so that would be smart to do. As for the money.. were you able to get some in my account or what is the status with that? Because in real i need to buy some more or i will start losing weight haha.
Finally that seemed to go down hahaha! It was like a guessing game of when she would get engaged. They have some good time together dating so that is a good thing. To kind of make sure and not rush. Annalee needs to keep heart and Know that she was saved from more heartache for something better! I like the scripture in proverbs 3 about putting your trust in the Lord and he will guide our paths instead of relying on our own understanding. This is something all of us can learn in one point or another but this is actually the favorite scripture of the prophet i learned in the mtc, says something to be true i would guess ahhh!
I promise with all the affections of my heart that when i get home i will go absolutely wild with acclimating back to the american ways of food!! There is no variety here even though it is good for the most part it just cant defeat the taste of home. But i wouldnt mind Betos when i got back since that is even different and really good. I will reassure yall that i shouldnt have anything to worry about. Getting robbed is the least of my worries in the moment. Im starting to question if this place is as dangerous as i have heard from my companion but i dont want to invite anything to happen to affirm his sayings so i will just agree with it hahaha. Give everyone a big wave and for the family and the cousins and all them, give them a big hug:]
Hola Big Papa! how was your stay up in the evergreens! Oh wait.. wrong part of the state haha! The family playin well in life now? Hows the plans with Jeff and his woman going? He tying the Knot any time soon? But my area is not gettng closed down?? i dont remember saying anything about that. Its perfectly fine. They might have to do that with some areas temporarily here since there is like 17 elders in the US that havent got there visas for here yet and should have arrived yesterday haha. All welll! But also my camera is fine and takes pictures i just dont know how i will send them back to yall. So i need to figure that out. Just want to say that your not to old still dad and you can follow your dreams and really find out your potenticial in this life along with find any healing that you may need from anything of your past experiences. The Blessings are sweet with the Lord and like described in the Vision of lehi with the Tree of Life. The fruit is the most sweet and desirable of all other fruit. We can really experience this and our knowledge can expand like none other to open doors for us and help us progress towards perfection. That was the mission of the Savior. Allow us to become clean, perfect, with a fulness of joy peace and rest from the things that try to hold us back now. But i hope you can find out what is best for you right now with your study of the scriptures and i talked to tami about this missionary work and maybe you could use this time to like i told her with 0 tv and her like a companion so that means with her all the time. Then see what you can get in terms of revelation and answers to your questions in the scriptures and prayer. But i love you and keep on working towards your goals and i know that you can achieve the physique you want haha:] Hasta proximo Lunes! Les amo

Dad i think it would be good if you did have access to my bank account if you dont but i dont know how to change it if you dont right now. But i have some money in my wallet that i exchanged for pesos this week and the rate is about 12.50 to 1 in the difference. Quite about haha. I stress about how much some things are but really they are quite about cheaper here its only that they give us soo little to live on. But me and my companion are startin to improve. We want success and i stopped waiting back to have him make the decisions in the group and teach me as my trainer. Me have some good things in store for us this coming week i would say. PRetty much a guarantee that we will have a baptism with one lady. She is super cool and makes some meeeean food haha! I really dont know what we are going to do about my camera but i want to go to the ruins sites one of these pdays first and get pictures along with the central to buy a suit for my birthday present that is only 1000 pesos for a Giorgio Armani brand suit. Practically a steal and want to send it home and have it be my suit when i get back. But this last week all that really happened was we worked to plan an activity on Plan of Salvation for the members to bring there none member friends to get nuevos but it was botched and we realized we really need to work on strengthenin this ward and also bringing back the maaaany less actives that there is.
I think that this place is about to close but i will wait until it does haha. Have fun up in washington dad and remember to we strong with the temptation that comes with being on vacation. For everything you eat just add a count for pushups or minutes to run or something. Tami should now that i will write every week unless something terrible goes wrong which would probably be that we just dont have a computadora. Sounds like Colbe´s area is more dangerous than mine at this point even though i have had one guy that was in my distrist already get robbed twice at gun point! maybe i scare them off with my size haha. But in real,, send the package as soon as possible since im a little scared about how things will work after the end of next transfer next tuesday. I believe it takes around 5 days to get here from there so yeah. I did get a hamburger fix today though at burger king so that really helped haha. The people here just love there mexican food too much! Tortillas tortillas and MORE TORTILLAS!!! every meal. But im excited for the progress that is being made and i can really see it being promising with the language. I really work alot with it when there is free time. Once i can intrepret what is being said with pretty much everyone. My language should explode. No Tener miedo! Seguir Adelante! El Señor es de mi lado. I think that last sentence is correct spanish haha. The grammar is still a little weird haha. Take CAre family and enjoy the snow! ohhhh wait.... YOU CANT! hahaha i guess you will have to enjoy the frost and not having to worry about shoveling the driveway. SEe yall in 21 months!
