Hey family...

Well im just going to be honest. I am really sick. I probably wont write much. But I might just complain about my Branch. But Thank you all for the letters that I recieved. They helped me come a little out of my depression haha But Yeah I got sick sunday night and I still feel the same I have the worst headache in the world. It hurts so much that Ive been throwing up as well. I havent eaten anything so there is nothing to throw up.. sounds great I know. But I think the reason im really kind of depressed is because my branch is terrible. We found a golden family on friday and they came to church on sunday... But they didnt like it because of how irrevernt it was and how they didnt really feel the spirit I was so sad! BUT President Brough called this morning to tell me what to do. and He told me to tell the district president that they are going to pull the missionaries out of this branch if that ever happens again. So President brough will help out! Tomorrow is my Birthday and I organized a activity... The first activity ive seen in this branch. Still our branch president said hes not going to come haha oh well were are going to watch the joseph smith movie so that will be great! Well I love all of you and I dont mean to worry you but thank you all so much for the birthday letters... OH as well our baptism for this sunday... Yeah it fell as well... But I guess its thinngs that Im suppose to learn from. Well I love you all so much and thanks so much... I hope you all have a great celebration for my birthday tomorrrow!!! YAY!! thanks for all the pictures as well. dad and stef! Thats too funny Beckham has already learned about the best thing in the world.. Ranch! haha Love you all and I dont mean for this letter to sound bad because life is great! haha love you all I hope I feel good tomorrow I have 2 lunch dates already! haha YAY... WElpp love you all 

Love 

Elder Moon.... the birthday boy!!!

But they are great, they are the family Peña. Good family! We are going to be praying like crazy! But as well we have some other great families that we can baptize this month! We just have to work a bit harder! Also for the first of april.. General Conference we are have a day of white. President wants that we have 100 baptisms that day atleast and that every companionship has a baptism that day! So we are going to be working hard for that as well But first the month of march. We are hoping for a lot of baptisms this month! Well its super hot here in the coast and its only going to get hotter I guess it has been soooo hot these past couple of days and I guess its just going to get hotter these next couple of months!

Time is FLYING!!!!!!! Help time to stop so I can think! Its already March! Happy Birthday Stef!!!! YAY... Crazy that after March comes April and Ive been gone a year!!!

Hey Family.

Well things are good here in Siquinala. We have some great families that are progressing really fast! They are super great but right now they are having a hard time getting to church. It seems like they are really excited to come but then something always happen or comes up but thats okay we will get them to church here soon and then we will baptize them like crazy! We have been doing alot of contacting lately. Its been super great. I forgot to tell you but as a mission like two weeks ago we put the goal to have 25 contacts everyday! So thats what weve been doing just contacting like crazy. At times its hard to get 25 in because we have a great day with lessons but its still expected so we have really been talking to people like crazy! When we get on buses now we stand up in front of the whole bus and talk to everyone! Its kind of crazy. Gotta love it though! This talking to alot of people has really helped as well. We have been finding people like crazy. and families too. So we are already seeing great results from the contacts that weve been doing everyday! We have been just working really hard. Getting lost in the work is what we are doing! Yep you betcha! We went to antigua yesterday. That was fun. We didnt really go to any ruins so I didnt take any cool pictures like that just of shopping n stuff but yeah it was fun! Well I love you all and hope you all are doing so well. Sounds like and looks like mom and dad had a lot of fun in Texas lucky! and molly gets to go to memphis? cool beans? You can go hang out with threesix mafia. and black people. HAHA and youll be the only ten I see haha cool stuff.. ANYwhoo love you all and hope your wildest dreams come true. It was great to hear from mom and dad, again. I love getting your emails so dont stop. It should just be a hint to other people that will read this email perhaps. Who knows. I sure dont im just in Guatemala being a missionary! WEll I love you all and Love this work. Good times! Welp love you all and hope to hear from you all soon! 

Love 

Elder Moon

February 7, 2012: Family

Well Hello everyone.. Como están? I love this work! I couldnt be happier right now! I love being a missionary and I am so blessed! It was so good to read all the things people said to me at the super bowl. That was super great! Chase told me when I get back all of our family and his family are going to come back and so you should tell him that I think that sounds like a fantastic idea! That would be awesome! Its crazy to think how long Ive been out. It kind of makes me sad that its gone sooo super fast and people tell me after a year it just goes faster! I feel like I have no time! Its crazy. I feel like time is just running and I cant catch up with it! I am loving training though. I dont even feel like Im training him. We just go to work and we work hard! I love it! He gets nervous sometimes though its funny. But I love him. I feel like I am learning more from him than he is from me! haha Its great! I love it!! Gave my second district meeting today! It was great I invented a game. I dont think anyone else found it fun but it was a blast for me! haha The results were everyone wins so it was great! I am really enjoying being able to serve as District leader! I love it. My district consists of the Zone leaders and another pair of missionaries and its super great! Well enough about me.

Paragraph? Sure why not... haha Anywho. Hows the family? Grandma Moon love you and loved your letter thank you. Glad to hear that your still in one peace! Grandma Jake I love you and hope you are doing fantastic! Everyone else I just love you all so much! Super bowl sounded fun? kinda? haha Lets just say Im not too sad i missed it! haha Great to hear Tyler Nelson is heading on mission! Good for him! Love that kid. Send him my love and tell him to write me or get me his address and I wanna write him before he leaves! Well we have a great family that we are hoping to be baptized this month called the family Flores! The dad lost his leg in an accident but he is super great and so we are really hoping to have them be baptized here soon! We are finding like crazy right now! I think this area is going to open up big time for us and we will be making this branch into a ward here soon haha but we will see! Lucky mom and dad get to go to texas Send my love to texas and Rob and Jan and all of them and of course I love Jake and Michelle and Britton and Brynlee. HAHA Great Success! I was looking forward to an email from Molly Jane she said she was going to write me to tell me something but it must have gotten lost? But hey Great times. Glad to hear Jeff is doing great from Mom and Dad. It really sounds like hes dropped being a Lakers fan so we can love him now? But correct me if im wrong.... HAHAHA Ive loved Jeffery bear since the beginning. First time I saw him I thought he was super cute and was great Home Teacher for my Sister Molly Jane... haha Hope you all know that I loved him before all of you.. ANYwho Love you all and I love this work. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ is guiding and directing his work here in Guatemala. President Brough is an inspired man and I love to learn from him I love him and his wife so much! Filled with nothing but love! Gotta Love it! We had a big 2 day meeting with all the leaders this passed week and we learned a whole bunch from him! I loved it lucky me I was able to go! haha Well i love you all and i hope you all are doing fantastic. I hope my little sobrinos are all doing fantastic. I hate to say this but they are who I think about the most.. haha Well Love you all and hope to hear from you all more as well! Welp keep on being great!
