September 28, 2011: My family is the greatest family EVAHHH
Well.. Hello family..
This past week was a kind of crazy week! But it was good! It was really hard to say goodbye to Elder Nielson.I learned so much from him and was so lucky to have him as a companion. He taught me so many things I will never forget and really prepared me to have a successfull mission! He is awesome! Gained a new best friend in the process too! I sure hope you will have him over for family dinners and things like that cause he really wants to get to know you guys haha.. Great guy though Love him. His family is awesome too! I met his family on sunday night cause they came and visited the area. His parents said they loved meeting you mom and dad. His dad told me after they left they felt like they just got done visiting long lost old friends. felt like youve been friends forever! haha I laughed and said yep thats my mom and dad. I also said my dad loves to talk alot. Brother Nielson laughed and said well Im a good listener haha.. Great family though! Good to see Elder Nielson one more time though! His flight left Guatemala this morning at 8. I think that would be fun to have parents come and visit all your areas with you... hint hint.. start saving your pesos! haha Jokes jokes but it was great! Well I also recieved my new companion.. His name is Elder Ortega.. He is from Panama. A very hard working missionary! I love it. Im happy he is cause I was worried to get a latin companion cause sometimes they are chambones... But he works hard! but a couple of things that drive me nuts.. He is always sooo serious in the streets and he never walks with me... makes me kind of sad.. so its hard to be my energetic self always with him but hope fully it will get better! I keep telling him when were in the streets we need to be happy and a strong companionship. Cause when were with people he is really happy and a great guy but when its just me and him he seems like mad.. haha I dont know what to do.. He doesnt really like my jokes either. But hey no big deal! Im a be me and theres nothing he can do about it! haha No but Im not complaining Im excited for this opportunity to work with him because he works hard and it will be a great time with him! President told me on monday because we had a meeting with him that he put me with him so I can learn spanish.. He said if you can get to the point where you can understand him clearly you can understand anyone because he talks kind of weird but thing are good I understand him most of the time already so it will be good.. He likes to cut off the ends of words but its all good! We will work hard together and all will be well! other then that things are good and Im loving this area still. I am teaching Elder Ortega the area right now and its going pretty good. The first day I was just ready go straight to work and find new people to teach and just teach but Elder Ortega wanted to meet the members first so the first couple of days were rough trying to find members home. but it all worked out I think. haha All is well I love my new comp!! Anywhoo.... thank you so much for the cookies mom it really hit the spot! I loved the cookies! haha and everything! You really know how to make a missionary happy! everything was perfect the shoes will work I think Ill just save them a but cause rain is almost over.. haha But thanks so much! Loved the pictures! OH how i love my family!!! SOOO MUCH.. really.. I have the best family EVER!!! I love my family so so so much! Pray for you all every morning and night! Love my family! glad i have more pictures now so i can show you off you everyone!! "All because two people fell in love" super cute the photo album haha... Anywhooooo thanks forevery thing!

September 19, 2011: Familias Pueden ser juntos para siempre!!!! Como NOSTOTROS... ;)
I love my family! I do I do I do. I love you all and i hope you are all
doing super great! We baptized another family this week because... NBF
(Nosotros Bautizamos Familias).. Haha Kinda crazy my third change starts
this week. Im sad to see Elder Nielson leave but all great
companionships come to an end haha But yeah im kinda nervous to see who
my new comp will be. oh wells. im also excited for the new great
opportunities i will get too! Well I think I just lost ten more pounds
this week.. What a rough week for me.. Monday ate some weird chicken
food from my cocinera and i thought it was cow the whole time I was
eating it then asked her what part of the cow it was cause I couldnt
chew or swallow it and she said no its pollo.. of course it was. YUCKY..
I think thats what made me sick for the rest of the week. So monday i
was fine. Tuesday. I almost died i was super sick. BU every where...
haha wednesday I was fine. thursday same as tuesday just terrible and
friday was fine. Saturday... OH my I was done for zero energy and the
worst BU ive every had i dont think ive ever been so sick. I had a rough
week but thats okay because I topped it off with Sunday. at church
Elder Nielson gave a great talk about sacrifice. and how we only have to
sacrifice a little compared to the people of the pioneers and things
like that great talk and then after church we had a wonderful baptism.
It was really great! Loved it. Lots of people stayed for it so it was a
special experience for that family! I baptized Hermana Evelyn Donis and
Elder Nielson batized Hermano Jorge Donis. Great day! But now ill send
some pictures. So I love you all and hope all is well for everyone and
remember to delight in the simple things in life. like the sciptures and
prayer and church! LOVE YOU ALLL next time ill write ill have a new
comp! CRAZY!! Love yall

Hola Familia
Que tal ustedes? haha I love you all n stuff! We had a good week this week! We have a baptism this sunday and Elder Nielson leaves me next wednesday! :( sad.. But also happy for the opportunity I have to gain a new companion and work hard with him! So we went to Antigua for Pday last week and... got there tried to turn on my camera on.. nope.. battery was left at home in the charger! YAY haha Well that was stupid of me. But Im still the same ol me I guess.. I was sad. But it was a great time n stuff loved it! Cool cool place! Anywho it was elections yesterday! Crazy day here in guatemala. Made it a rough day to find people in their houses so we just waited by the place where they voted and contacted people there it was funny! Crazy day though. Not very many came to church either haha funny stuff but good days her in guatemala! But mom your going to do awesome I just know it! I always pray for you n stuff.. Looked like you all had some fun with Michelle and Britton. I hope so. Also I cant really think of anything I need. Maybe a jump drive to load some pictures of you guys on to it so i can to take it to the photo place and print them off! And for the future package a hard drive that i can load all of my picture on it so I wont lose any in some miraculous way. Almost all the missionaries ive talked to have stories about losing pictures and i dont want that. So a Hard drive would be nice in the future. Elder Nielson has one and loves it. Talk to him when he gets home. maybe he will have some ideas of what i need haha i cant think of any. But yeah things are good! Im excited for my baptism it will be great! ill send pictures next week of antigua and baptism cause im out of time again. Love you all! Hope to hear from you all soon!

September 5, 2011: Hola
Hello Family
How is everyone doing? I hope good cause they should be! That is
crazy about Aunt Carol I had no idea she was even sick? Send my love to
Mitchell! Where is he going on the mission? I hope he knows theres not a
better place to be right now. One of our Assistants lost their mom too
when he was in mission. He said there isnt a better place to be for a
thing like that to happen. It was still hard But he knew where he was
suppose to be and where his mom would want him to be. Thats sad. Well I
love you all and miss you all! We have a Baptism on the 18 of september.
I am really excited for this family! Familia Donis! They are so ready
and I cannot wait for them. They changed so fast! They love the church
so much too They always say. We never knew a church could be like that!
They love it! They have two kids a 2 year old and a 5 year old they are
crazy but super cute. I love the pictures! The boys in the bath thats so
funny! I bet water was everywhere! Beckham just wanted to drink all the
water it looks like! Oh how old they look already! haha We go to
Antigua as a Zone tomorrow so that should be fun! Elder Nielsons parents
leave the 21 of september soooo get in contact or something.. And Im
not really sure what you sould send.. maybe some efy cds and the joseph
smith one? cause I can only listen to 6 songs on my little mp3 player
haha but if you send cds ill just buy a cheap little player down here!
Well things are good the work is going to be crazy this month because
the people will be crazy its elections on sunday and their independence
day is the 15 elder nielson says september is nuts haha oh well we will
try our hardest! Im four months in and already both my shoes have holes
in them I will send pictures of one pair today cause I for got totake
pictures and only have one pair on.. Obviously! But maybe you can send a
new pair with Elder Nielsons parents but also if you go and show
missionary mall for a new pair ask for a pair that are a little more
water proof or something. Anywho I love you all! And im gonig to send a
shout out to my Grandma Jake Because I love you soo soo soo soo much! We
only get pouch like every month and a half and this past week I did and
got three letters from Grandma Jake! I love her letters they make me
laugh and loved to get Dads thanks so much! But hey I love you all and
Hope all is well with you all! Hugs and Kisses!!!! The church is true
and so is this work and this work will never fail!!! The work will
always go on!
Love
Elder Moon
