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
