Hello!

Well, this week like you said went by super fast! We had a pretty fun and busy week out here!  We got haircuts on Monday and they put in hot water in our apartment!!  Tuesday was pretty crazy because we were in a lesson with an investigator and his pastor came in and we were able to teach them both and made a great impression.  Wednesday was pretty much normal, don't really remember what happened...... but Thursday was cool, president came to our reunión de distrito   and then we went out proselyting with one of the assistants.  I also gave a training on commitments.  Friday nothing too crazy either, Saturday we went to the bank (which is like a huge Costco or shopping area) and I bought a panini grill so we are living the life now hahah.  We have a baptismal date for the 14 of Junio and we are pretty excited about that!  her name is Sammy Navarro!   She is a friend of our pencionista!  It's awesome!  Also on June 14 we get to meet with Elder Oaks!!! Anyways, glad to hear you guys had a good week!  Alli and Ashley look great in there pictures and that's awesome that you got to see Daniel!  Were they just visiting or what?  Everything else is going great out here  and we are really having a good time!  The zone leaders also found a gym out here and we decided we are going to go in the mornings.... just an fyi because you might not recognize me when i get back because I will be so huge and muscly!!  hahahaha

Love you lots!!!

Mom!

Hey mom pretty solid week!  I'm kind of with you on that one about this week going by kind of slow, mainly because of transfers and everything but all is going good!  Some updates now...... my new companion is Elder Calle, my first trainee in the mission hahaha. He has about three weeks in the mission and has been a member for about 2 years and is the only member in his family.  He's awesome though!  He's from Bolivia and we get a long great and are working hard out here!  It's pretty cool because we have been finding a bunch of new families and people to teach so we are pretty happy.  Everything is going good out here, and I'm happy hahah.  It's also pretty cool because I'm now a district leader over some hermanas and the zone leaders.  I am also practicing that which is pretty cool.  I gave a training on how we can know when we are having success in the mission!  Other than that nothing really to crazy going on, just trying to work hard!  As for Colten getting his mission call, that's freaking awesome!!!!! what mission? my zone leader is from Uruguay!  He's going to come back with an accent  like the people from Argentina!  They also love soccer down there so it will be cool! When does he leave?  I'm so pumped for Zach!!!! They will do so good  and I'm really excited for them!  Anyways that was my week this week hahah hope everything is going well on the homefront!

 

 

Charity

hey guys!

Pretty sweet week this week!  Nothing really too crazy, but we did get to play soccer as a mission which was sweet!  I got to see a bunch of my friends and it was just awesome!  Kinda sad though because Morales and Urzola and Medrano are all going home and have become some pretty good friends of mine!  Tuesday was also really cool because we had the zone conferences and it was sweet!  We learned a lot about charity and how its really important to love everyone and just try and help everyone out which was really cool!  We also read in 1 corinthians 13 the whole chapter and moroni 7 42-48 just if you wanna read about charity hahah.  pretty sweet though and something we can always work on!  pretty crazy though because at like 3, I have to go to the offices to drop off Urzola with his suitcases, he's really a good guy and I learned a lot from him!  Other  than that nothing too crazy is happening out here!  going to pick up my new companion tomorrow so we will see how it goes!

 

Love you!

Mom!!

 

Sorry I am online late today...and totally different day....we were helping people with a service project this morning.  We are using the internet hoy!  On Monday, I will not be emailing, we are going to get together as a whole mission and play soccer and I think watch a movie, it's going to be sweet!!  My week was awesome, pretty solid.  We didn't do much Monday or Tuesday, but Wednesday was cool because we went to the temple with Euler and Alberto..... I think euler will send some pictures right now because he is going to be companero for two days hahah just because my companion is going home and is starting to say goodbye and stuff like that.  Everything is going really good.  We have found a family that is awesome and we put a baptismal date with them, just have to work to get them to church!  I'm pretty excited about tomorrow to Skype with you guys and think everything is all planned out so that's good.  Not to much really going on, and I'm doing good!

Love you!!!

 

 

I try to be better every day

May 5, 2014

Hello!!

 

So this week was an interesting one.  We are doing good out here, just trying to do our best to work hard and it's going pretty well!  I am sorry I am emailing a lot later.  Long story short, we finally got everything taken care of and as of this morning my companion now has 9 toenails.  Thank goodness he is alright!!  We did have to go to the clinic like four times this week which was kind of rough because its like a two hour bus ride there and two hours back,  so that was fun.......But hopefully my companion will be able to get better now!  Anyways, the area is going good, we did an activity this week with all the missionaries of the stake and we got a bunch of references so I'm super excited to get out there and find these people hahaha. I also almost finished Mosiah this week which was awesome.  It really made me think about how we need to treat others and how we have to try and be friends with everyone! It's not always super easy, but we can improve ourselves day by day and try to do better. That was pretty much my week this week hahah i have a pretty funny picture that im gonna send you guys i think you will like it!! I get to call you some time this week to set up a time to talk for Mothers Day can't wait to talk you all.

 

 

love you guys!

Hey mom, how's it going?  This week was a pretty good one, and went by super fast.  I know the area more or less now, just trying to find some people out there, which is easier said than done hahah.  Other than that it was solid though.  My companion and I get along pretty good.  He's kind of sick though which is too bad, but he's a good guy.  That's so awesome about Stephen too!!!!! So stoked for him he will be a great missionary! I will email Quille after this because his brother is in Mexico!  Nothing really new going on out here though, just trying to do my best to work hard! I'm sorry I don't have much more to say, the weeks just seem to all blend together.  I do know that this week I have thought a lot about how important it is to be an example to everyone and to try to be friends with everyone!! I have some pictures and I'm going to send them after this! In the pics, grandma sent two Santa Balls but they didn't come at the same time.  So I gave one to my pencionistas son Joshua to open! It was a success! He sure loved it!!  A Zundel tradition I shared in Peru!!  I hope you guys got the videos that were sent to you?!!

 

 love you guys!
