October 24, 2011: HELLO

Hello my beloved familly. How is everyone doing? Well.. Im doing good. Any week is good when you have a baptism. I had the opportunity to baptize Hna Sylvia and her daughter Monica. I thought my comp was going to baptize one of them but he didnt bring his clothes. Yeah hes great. Hes had a enough with me. He freaked out at me on saturday. But no big deal right? Just pray for me. I need to leave this change. I will know in a week from today. If not... I really dont know what im going to do! Keep on workin hard I guess. Well I hope everyone is doing well. Send my love to Erin and Sara. That is really really sad. Anywho the baptism went really well. It was a special day for them. It was good. Made me happy. Elder Nielson and I found them in our first change so I was really happy to see them be baptized and help them haha. The father, Edenilson, is like my best friend he is so dope. He always writes me letters that say how greatful he is for helping him find the gospel again and he is just super awesome! So funny so we always joke around and stuff and then we try to joke around with my comp and he just gets offended. haha oops.. Things are good. Still loving life as a missionary. I know that this is just part of the mission and this too shall pass like Grandpa Jake used to say.. says mom... haha I love it. I love to picture in my mind mom at disneyland right now... It just makes me laugh... I hope I get some pictures. Well I hope all is going well with the family. I love you all and hope you know that I love this work. and I know the work of the Lord will never FAIL nor will it ever stop. All I know is that we are here to prepare and so we can live together as a family FOREVER. And im so greatful I have such a great family. Families are a big part in this plan and im so happy that we can be so united and love each other always.. I love you all and hope to see some more pictures soon! mucho love.. loves loves loves... SEND MY LOVE TO EVERYONE WHO IS WORTHY OF IT... haha

October 10, 2011: Hey

Hello my family,
How are things going for everyone? I hope good! Im doing.... alright.. but at the same time im doing amazing! I love my mission and am learning things daily. Its hard with my companion though I dont like it at all Im not going to lie. I dont know why. He is so double sided. I cant stand it. But I dont want to complain. I am just trying to learn from him. A thing i try to tell him is that we teach people not lessons. He just does the same contact with every person same lesson with every person. Kinda drives me crazy. He doesnt trust me either so do I ever get to talk.... no he never gives me time I always have to cut him off haha he gets mad but I dont know what else to do.... But hey Im happy! I love my mission and love the members in my area. Its really funny the members try to joke with my comp and he just doesnt do jokes I find it hilarious but he just has the roughest personality. haha oh well Im trying to take the good qualities he has. Not the bad. Its hard not to be down in the dumps though sometimes. But we are trying to work on our relationship. I hope haha but anywho I love all of you and I dont mean to complain. I love him and love this work. Its great. I just love divisions that much more haha Well we have Conferencia de Zona this wednesday with Elder Martino so that will be good Im excited for that! We hopefully will have a baptism on the 23rd but its gonna need some prayers. haha Hermana sylvia and her daughter. They still dont feel prepared enough but I know they are ready! I sure hope we can help them feel ready. Other then that we are working hard and trying to find people to teach but its just weird how Elder Ortega works. Not a smart worker.. Hard worker but not a smart worker. I am trying to make things better and help organize and be smarter in our work but he does what he wants because hes got 20 months a district leader.. I have not even 6.. haha He knows all right? Oh well just gotta keep on working hard. Other then that things are great! Sorry I never said much about the stuff you sent me! I loved all of it. The beef jerkey was perfect for conference and the hand sanitizer I love them so much haha so does everyone else all the little kids just want some haha they love it too and of course I share so they have gone fast but i still have bunch left. haha I love it. The cookies were perfect! The sun flower seeds keep me awake during studies haha thats good! The mints were way good! The shoes are better but im gonna save them for special occaciones so I can have some good shoes but these other shoes are just breaking down fast. haha oh well! poprocks are great! haha thanks so much again! Well I love you all and Pray for you all morning and Night! I loved the pictures and would love more I love my family so much and love to show you all off. Everytime I see these little niños I just think about my little niños haha I miss so much! I love you all though and just keep praying! Spanish is better still really rough but better. Pray that my comp may talk with me and walk with me and help me with spanish so that i can become better at speaking! haha Hope all is good for you all! Remember that this church is true! I wish you all could see all these false churches down here Its crazy how many and how apostasy they are haha but its sad when people compare the church of jesus christ of latter day saints to these other churches. Its sad. People have hard times going to our church because we dont have a band that plays and we dont jump up and down and scream to our songs. Its sad but Thats why we are here to help these people understand the truth! I love these people andlove this area. I love all of you and hope to hear from you all soon! Much love and prayers!

October 3, 2011: Hola

Well hello my family...
Conference was the GREATEST! I loved every minute of it and just soaked it all in took 21 pages of notes to look at until the lihona comes out next month! haha Super great though. It went by super duper fast though.. Way too fast But it was totally worth it! Thats good you got to see Elder Nielson. I love him and will be forever greatful for him! Beckham looks good in that jersey haha I thought they were pretty cool so i had to get them! I hope we all realized this passed conference the inportance of the Book of Mormon.. We need to feast daily from its teachings and it will be much easier for us to endure to the end! I loved Elder Callisters talk. It was probably my favorite! But they were all super great! I loved them all. President Monson was just crazy as ever we were all just dying laughing! haha Elder Holland really threw all the aaronic Priesthood holders for a whirl! We do need more missionaries that is for sure! I loved his talk too. I just loved conference all together! It was good to get a quick break from my comp.. I hate to say that but it was good.. haha I love my comp. we work hard. Hes just not lovin the big guy. He doesnt like to laugh and joke and smile so its really hard for me. because thats all I do!!!!!!!! How can I stop that? I cant right? I hope he doesnt take it from me.. But things will get better! I just wish he would let me speak sometimes... He loves to talk though... haha and sing.. Loud.. so it scares the spirit away and really tone def.. haha okay Im done i love him. I just got to adjust. Its just really different now. haha But thats okay Things will be good we work hard and thats all I want outta of him! Im surprised no one said anything about the tabernacle!! or is this old news?? I was in AWE!! I couldnt believe my ears!!! I was so excited to hear that! The Lord surely had things in store with that building. So many memories there! I love it. Stake conference there and all those great things now.. when i get home... I can get married there.. But lets pray that I will be home before its dedicated I would love to be there! I am so excited for that! I Love it two temples in provo! SO great! Im still in awe... I was the most surprised one there though. My zone leader.. who i love so much and talks like a hick even when he speaks spanish.. about started to cry when he said Star Valley, Wyoming. We had just had divisions and he told me all about his little community. haha I asked so what city do you live in? he said oh I dont live in a city.. Its called a community haha it was hilarious but he said a bunch of these little communities make up star valley. Then when they announced that he was so shocked! He was like i dont think you realize how small that place is.. ha ha it was hilarious! We were all just lovin it! haha BUt it was definately a great conference weekend. The Gringo room was great! Loved it! We have a fecha meta for a family 15 of octubre so pray for Sylvia and Monica Hernandez. The father is already a member was baptized when he was 17. named Edinilson almost Elder Nielson haha but he is so awesome I love him. when we first found him he was like yeah im a member.. I think haha then like the 3 visit with them he was like look what I found and it was a note book with his testimony and the missionaries that baptized him and just his life and how great it was being a member! Brought back so many memories and now he remembers it all and Love s church once again! He is so awesome he wrote Elder Nielson and I letters and just always thanks us for bringing him back. He had his mission call and everything to Nicuragua Sur but couldnt go cause he had to enter the army and in the army completely forgot about the church but now he is super great. Now were just trying on getting his daughter and his wife baptized! Hes great though we went and got him for Priesthood session and he loved it! I love that family I sure hope we can prepare them for the 15th she keeps saying she doesnt feel ready but we will try our best to get here there! Great family! We just got to stress prayer. Prayer is the only way we can get prepared.. But sorry about this horrible grammar I hope im making sense I just feel like I have no time! Well I love you all and hope to hear from you all soon! LOVE YOU ALLL and Miss you ALLL!
Adios

Love
