So Who's Training Who?

Here are your questions for the week:

Where will you get to watch Conference?
Will you watch it in Eng or Span?
When are the next transfers? And will you get to stay or go?
Did you have any baptisms?
What was the funniest thing that has happened in the last couple of weeks?

I dont know what i want really just photos of home and maybe some temples you could send me some music on an mp3 that does NOT play videos and i can just buy the speakers here in these next few weeks i am going to send a package home of things i dont need but kenyon or ammon could use on thier missions. I know what ever you send will be awesome oh and i need that list of people of family and friends i want to hand write. That is so great about the fam and everyone those fam home evenings sound awesome. We will be going to the stake center to watch conference and there is a room for english so that is what i am going to do because there is somrthing more of hearing them in there own language. There was transfers last week my comp left and i stayed and got a literally new one just out of the cmm i am training its a big responsability but it is a blast. He is soo pilas his name is elder Vallejos and is from Costa Rica. He already knows his purpose and has drive. really makes me want to work harder we had a lesson with a family that is a little closed off from eachother but he did an activity where he had them stand up and hug and say i love you that was an emotional experience. He really loves the people and i have really put things in perspective with him around. Love you mom soo much and hope you guys have a great general conference weekend.

Obligatory comment to Dad:

We are still all good overhere on the mission end one the i forgot to tell you guys is that this last wekk was changes i still didnt know what they were at that time well my comp left and i stayed but recieved a knew elder literally knew i am trainer i was soo scared when president told me iand i stiil dont know exactally how this next 12 weeks are going to play out but man it was a wierd day wednesday. Well thats all for this week love you dad and i will talk to you next week.

What's up with the Chambones

Well, here are your questions for this week:

Is your area close to the temple? and if so do you get to attend?
How are the Chambones doing?
Any baptisms lined up? if so who?
Are you working with any investigators?
What do you find the hardest about living in another country?
What do you like the best about living in another country?

Here we can only write hand written letters to non family so maybe you can give me there mission holmes adresses. we dont live close to the temple and it is actually in the south mission we can visit it but not often probably will go in one of the nwxt two changes. They are doing fine there arent any in our distric so we dont see them alot its funny though becausewhen you say a missionaries name everyonre gots an opinion on them that chaffa doesnt matter to me just as long as i know i am keeping the commandments and all that. We dont have any set in stone baptisms but are going to this next week. they are fam ramirez they are pilas and everything just they arent married need to be she is from honduras needs to but an announcment in the newspaper in order to do so but for that she needs a pass port or a certified and signed birth certificate but its hard cause they are poor and alll of that takes a ton of time. we have made all the calls to line all this stuff up even then other people have jobs and other things so they forget to do stuff. they could go to hunduras to get married but he lost a court case that a guys is sueing him for sumthing like 500 dollars U.S. like i said they are poor and he cant leave the country because he has to sign something that says he is in the country becaus e of the case and for that same reasonhe cant get a good job. Just pretty messy sometimes. the other is a family he is a member was inactive married his wife and now wants her to be baptised the thing is here they have to assist church atleast 3 time before they can be baptised and obviously we have to teach them. that should only take few more weeks. the other i was studying about pacience and that has really helped me over come my trials because when you learn everthing is in the lords time it makes it easier to understand his wiil alright thaks mom for everything love you and talk to you next week.

To Dad:

Good to hear about the fam and brandon its good he is working and getting all that stuff sorted out. Wow that means Vance will be in the mtc in 2-3 weeks wow love hearing about the guys leaving on thier mishs. There have been a few close calls here and there but nothing to serious. i am healthy and everything they got water avalableand clean down here it actuall comes in bags. that approach with that one elder man somtimes i feel liike that but never do it i have been studying charity and love this week and trying to aplly it. First of all we do everthing for a love for our heavenly father but that means bring more souls to him. With the people who dont like to keep commitment you get frustrated so i went to see what moroni had to say about it and i right there it says charity is long suffering. When you really love the people you do eveything you can to mkae they know your testimony and the things we need to be in part of the fulness of the blessings of our heavenly fathers plan. There is a ton i learn everyday but some stuff i can see has helped me firstly reading from the book of mormon everday. Well this week was great lot of lessons (good ones) and people we are tr+ying to teach. Some times we see members ad they ask hey where are you going and i always answer to teach the truth. Really feels good at the end of the day whe you are just tired but happy. Alright love you dad and thanks for all that you do an di will talk to you next week

1/3 of the way to toward his brown belt.

So here are your questions for this week:

So what does chambones mean?
what are some of the words that are different from what we say in Mex?
Do you remember much from what I used to say to you in spanish?
Did you get to make cheesecake?
What's your favorite meal there so far?
Is there anything you really miss from home (food wise)?
Have you had any baptisms? if so, what are their names?
How many missionaries in your area?
Do you get to do much with them?
Who have you gotten to know and what are their names?

Well chambon means lazy but like a type of person (el es un chambon) Tambien hay diferentes maneras utilizar como estoy chamboinando. No hay mucho que puedo recodar que es diferente enter los dos pero solo casi todos usan vos no vosotros es un manera hablar en tu, con personas que no tienen respeto. Como dude or bro I would think in enlish. the stuff you used to say to me alot yes i remember i ask my comp some times and he would say man your mom was mad at you. Haha I did not get to make the cheese cake but maybr tomorrow I was talking about this today and by far i would say i miss chinese food in general its just not popular what i would do for a bowl of orange chicken. Here my favorite meal has been this chicken with some rice and a type of cream that is good. No mor baptisms still as of the last ones we had like a month ago the problem right now is getting people to church. An area is defined as a place were one companionship is assigned. A district has anywhere from 2 to 5 companionships next is a zone which here is usually a stake. there are 9 zones in our mission and three regions cost capitol and moutain. We see other missionaries at least once a week in district meeting there is divisions aswell where we trade with the district leader or zone leaders. and we sometimes get together on pdays. I know almost everyone in the zone and its sweet to see them. at least in the district here are the missionaries my comp e rivas belize, E johnson arizona, e carlson oregon, e lontine colorado e pelicò guatemala e adams arizona e merche el salvador. Yea this week was great i sent you an email but aparetly something went wrong so this is a copmpolation of both. One thing i have learned this week and can say for a certanty i sI kno wthat my redemer lives. Its very wierd to think about the person i was before but i guess that is just time in the missh. One thing we talked about as copms was obedience he said that some missionaries wernt liked because of how fletch they were i was thinking that is what i want to be not necessarily disliked but known as an obidient missionary. Her you really put priorities where thay are supposed to be the important things in life. Because when you are trying to ask some one to change thier life its hard if i dont think and live the same way as iam teaching during and after the mission. Alright mom thanks for everything just about out of time but I love you and talk to you next week


To Dad:

Thanks Dad for the advice always welcome and yea sometimes time gets away from you when you are writting. Here is amazing we still havent had any more baptisms but one thing i have learned is pacience and hope and faith. W efind a bunch of people but the interesting part is getting them to church. Thats great to here about the family staying busy. One thing i can saw with out doubt is that i have a father in heaven and his son came here to atone for my sins i basically said that everyday but the other day i was studying and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. That same day all i wrote in my study journal was I know that my redemer lives. You have a lot more power in testimony evertime you bear it. That is one experience i had on the other hand they say that you arent a true guat missionary untill you poop you pant 3 times well you can scratch one off. Love you dad and i will talk to ya next week.

3 Languages: English, Spanish, and Letters(?)

Things are going great here always trying not to be complacent in monthly or changly interviews president gave me some pointers but he said most of the solution is just realizing that you are not doing everything you can to establish and help build the lords kingdom. Alright thanks dad for your supportand everthing hope you get better and always know that i love ya for all that you did and do for me
