that night on Christmas day we made our tacos and they were very disappointing. We went to a different place to buy our food
because where we normally go was sold out of tortillas and had nothing. We got to the other place and it was
packed. They didn’t have tortillas
either, but they had something like tortillas, it’s Arabic bread. So we decided to buy that and did the rest of
the shopping at this place....never going back there again. We never have to buy meat because grandpa
always gives it to us....well here we buy meat and its good, nothing compared
to what we have at home. But we bought
meat at a different place, it would be like you buying ground meat from
Friendly Fred’s or from Kings. It was nasty.
And the cheese we used was like a plastic bag, it just melted and stuck
to everything. The picture of the food
looks great but the taste. . . not good at all.

week was fast....but was a little hard with Christmas and not many people and
stuff. Tomasa is still reading her Book
of Mormon and came to church yesterday.
She is going to be baptized the 12th and not the 5th because she wants
her mom to come, but tonight we are gonna see if we can change her mind a bit.
Last night we ( I ) taught lesson 2, the plan of salvation. It is pretty much my specialty. The best lesson to teach, probably because
you don’t teach it that often. It’s
always the restoration. I’ll have to
teach it to you when I get home with my scriptures. That’s the best part of teaching this lesson.
. . I have like 50 scriptures to share that teach the lesson for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear Family. . . This last week was good. I officially completed 20 Months in the
Mission, and it has been 2 years since I opened my Mission Call. Time is going by FAST!!! That’s crazy that Kwenton gets home on
Wed...He gets home with Elder Heiner’s cousin I think. And Tyler gets home in January! Last
week we had changes. I thought that I
might have had a change but I’m still here in 3 bocas with my comp, Elder
Chavez. I only have 2 transfers left
after this one...I am praying that it will be in a new area for the last 3
months of my mission. I don’t want to be
stuck here 5 transfers or for you guys 7 months. Elder Chavez and I had a better week. We had more lessons and more new
investigators but nothing real solid yet.
I’m pretty sure that the zone leaders are gonna want to do divisions
with us this week. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The office or Pres. haven’t said anything about calling home
for Christmas, but Elder Chavez and I have it all figured out. We have been looking for a place to skype on Christmas
but everyone is going to be closed and they are closing at noon Christmas eve,
so like they close at 8 in the morning for you all. Yesterday after lunch we went to the chapel
and downloaded Skype to the computer in the Bishops office, and I have a
webcam. I logged on yesterday to see if
it worked and I sent Grant a message. It’s
the last call home from Paraguay, it will be a good one. I will be at the chaple at 4:00 my time to
skype all of you...and Spencer too!!! Can’t
wait....I even have my paper of stuff we can talk about on Christmas! Only one week...YES...CAN’T WAIT!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the Missonary Plaque, Moroni 10:32.
That’s what i want on my plaque, if they can do it in Spanish do it in Spanish
but if not that’s fine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You all in America, nice and toasty warm in the house...no
problem...it’s so hot down here.
Yesterday, walking to church at 8 in the morning, 100 degrees! Not cool.
We cooked an egg on the road Thursday...took like 2 minutes...yeah that
fast! And the worst thing about all of
it...I don’t have AC. The Ac didn’t work
very good anyways, so we had some dude come look at it and he took it out to
see the problem...some big thing they have to replace....he hasn’t brought it
back yet. And the office said that they
would get us a new AC in 2 weeks. Yeah
right, they won’t ever get it to us, and the guy who took our AC won’t answer
our phone calls...I’m pretty sure he sold it or something...fetching Paragayos! And I think that i am getting skin cancer, that’s
how hot and strong the sun is!!! We can’t
even sleep at night, at home it cools down at night time...not here....it gets
hotter...You wake up in the morning all greasy and in a puddle of sweat on your
bed...grossssss!!!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My Christmas plans. . . pretty much nothing. Eat my Hickory Farms while I skype you
guys. Nobody here invites us over for
lunch or dinner, less chances that they invite us over for Christmas. Our plan was to make some Mexican food, tacos
and quesadillas. But my comp has no
money left for the rest of December and I have 300,000 left, so Ihave to share
with him again! Don’t know if my Christmas
dinner is going to happen....too bad I’m not in Puerto Pabla with Jorge and
Betty, eat some Crocodile and some Armadillo and Cow Tounge, and Manta Ray and
Beaver for Christmas. Oh well, this just
means that next Christmas when i am home will be even better....</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So mission wise, like the investigators are not really
progressing. They read and pray every
once in a while or they pray to the virgin of Caacupe, but they never come to
church. That’s the problem with
praguayos....their pretty lazy... They just won’t come. We had 3 people that were certain that they
were going to come to church, yeah you already know who came...nobody. We did find a cool family this week though,
The Azucas Family...it’s just hard for the Dad, he doesn’t really believe in
anything.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-US">DAD. .
.tienes que mejorar tu español. Tadavia
puedes hablar mas o menos pero hay muchos errores. Era un poco chistoso leer su carta haha. Sepas que te amo y que te quiero mucho. Gracias por todo. En quatro meses vamos a hablar bien, y vamos
a cambiar tu español...toda la familia se van a burlar de tu español. Si esto
pasara, no seria muy bueno. Te hace falta venir a paraguay bueno no a paraguay,
su español es muy feo, te hace falta visitar a Mexico u algo haha. Te quiero papa. Hablaremos Martes en la Navidad, en Español. Y dudo que Grant me gane en una lucha....yo
soy el mejor de la familia. No pierdo a
mis hermanos...no importa si tenga 200 libras...yo soy un capo y siempre salgo
campeon. Y cada dia manana y noche hago
mis ejercicios....y son muchas.
Flecciones del pecho y abdominales....yeah buddy...Mis brazos y pecho ya
han crecidos mucho...esta semana me pese y peso 157 libras....y no soy
gordo....entonces que venga Grant a perder....lo voy a destruir!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ill just leave it up to you to find me an ornament. Thanks :)</div>

Dear Family. . .<br />
<br />
So another week gone in the mission. Another Transfer completed. THis is Transfer number 14 of 16. The end is comming. But this last transfer went by way fast. We didnt have any baptisms....and its just a tuff area. ME and elder chavez have been trying a lot to be better missionaries. Just to not think about time or stuff at home...<br />
<br />
This week we had our zone meeting. It was a tuffy. Pres Agazzani and his wife came and dropped the cane on us a bit. We have 2 baptisms as a zone for december, and they want 18. We dont have anyone in plan 1 or plan 2. IT really seems like they just want numbers. If we can all baptize 16 people in each zone, we will reach 1000 baptism this year. Then pres agazzani told us how next year he expects 2112 baptism. That is a crap ton of baptisms. They told us that we were going to have a Christmas zone conference and to bring a white elephant gift. Should be fun. ITs going to be on the 21st of December, AKA, End of the World Day. Im so tired of hearing that....everyone asks us if the world is going to end on the 21st of Dec. We just tell them thats its really possible that it ends, so they should listen to our message so they can be prepared....it doesnt work tho. <br />
<br />
This week was really hard too. We dont have any investigators. None. We found 2 new ones this last week and they are not like gold trophies or anything. We had 6 lessons this week and 2 more with less active members. You thought you were embarrassed mom. My numbers were crap. We cant figure out what happens to us. Ever since we lost our two investigators Alex and Nelson, we just havnt been that same. Im just in that down point of the wrestling season. Im just trying to climb out. Ever since mothers day i have had one thing on my mind. The week after we did skype, you said that you had seeen a huge change in me...and that you couldnt wait until christmas to talk to me to see an even bigger change. Everyday is just how can i make mom proud, but i dont feel like i have been changing that much these last weeks. Last week i didnt even want to do skype, just because i didnt want to let you down. But a lot of that changed yesterday when i gave another last minute talk in church. <br />
<br />
So saturday night i slept on the roof. I got eaten alive by mosquitos. I woke up at 6:30 to the cell phone...it was branch pres....elders, its 2nd sunday, that means that its missionary work...can you give talks. Sure, why not....so i make a talk about the gifts that we can give to Christ in this christmas season. I talked about the first christmas when God gave us His only Begotton Son. I talked about how christmas is about giving and not reciving. Then i told everyone how each year, one of our families is in charge of giving christmas to another family. I told them about my last christmas at home, when we as a family wrapped up all the presents and the spirit of Christ(mas) was at the barn with the family. Then of when i bought you, dad, and grandma presents...since you guys never buy anything and always buy stuff for us. Then how it made you and dad feel...you didnt care how much the gift cost, only the thought that i had of making christmas good for you. The main theme of the talk what things we can do for Christ, and how we need to find the Spirit of Christ durring the Christmas Season. Then i explained how Christ, had that spirit, he didnt care how much the Atonement was going to cost, how much pain, nothing...he had the Spirit of Christ, or the spirit of giving. Then i quoted Pres Monson, when he said we all need to find that christmas spirit, then drop the last syllabyl and it becomes the spirit of Christ. I then invited all the members to find that spirit durring these next weeks, so that they can enjoy christmas more fully. Of the 30 in attendance, there were some cryers. Then we sang Silent Night....and the Spirit was strong. In the Liahona for December, Elder Holland speaks of his first Christmas away from home...he said that then, was when he got it...when he understood the spirit of christmas. I felt the spirit of christmas last time i was home...but as we sang Silent Night, I got it too. I am eternally greatful for the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ and for His sacrifice for me. Even tho i am far from being like him, he will help me. I hope all of you can find the true spirit of Christ(mas) this year.<br />
<br />
So its just been little by little, but durring the last 2 years, i have learned a ton. It great to be a missionary. Little by little came my testimony. I had always been waiting for the one experience that was a life changer, write to the liahona church magazine. But, its still commmin little by little. The next for months are gonna fly by. They are the 4 fastest in the whole year. I hope that my testimony will keep growing like it has been.<br />
<br />
Dad, cuantas veces tengo que preguntarte? ¿De donde es abuelo? ¿Que parte de MExico?<br />
<br />
We went to the Cemitary again this week, and we taught lesson 2 or the Plan of Salvation to some people. They looked happy, like we had given them a little hope for the future. They arent investigators or anything, but in the future they will remember what we shared with them and about the pamplet we left them. One day. Also, we found some bones this time....that was more creepy than the coffin sitting in the open.<br />
<br />
Saturday was not a good day. There was nobody here in 3 Bocas. Everyone was celebrating the day of the Maldita Virgen de Caacupe. Everyone went for the stupid walk to fufil their promiss. I will buy my statue of her to bring home with my rosary!!! If the Catholic Church was true, every country would worship the same freakin Virgin. But here we got Caacupe, in Mexico Guadalupe, in Brazil, the Señora del aparecida....whatever...read Salms 115:3-8......that will teach them!!!<br />
<br />
We have changes this week...i would really like to leave this area. Go to a new area and then for my last 2 transfers, train a newby...from america of course. Ill see what happens tomarow at the district meeting.<br />
<br />
Oh, and the last thing of the weeek. We have a Porron, Joto, Maricon, Marica, calling us and sending us gay text messages. He is always sending us messages, oh how sexy of a voice you have....call me....sooo anoying. But whatever, cant live with them and i dont know what to do about them!<br />
<br />
Oh and i talked to elder heiner...he said he got accepted to byu idaho, and that he was maybe going to tell his mom to sign him up to byu too. I say we will both get in to byu because there are no people there. Pero por si las moscas, if we dont get into byu, we will be at byu idahoand i will wrestle and you can come watch me....be on the intermural team haha!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
One thing that made me trunky this week...only 127 days left and I saw a Honda CBR 1000 and a Yamaha F1....yeah im gettin a sweet crotch rocket when i get home!!!!!<br />
<br />
love you all<br />
<br />
oh and mom, tell me where i am going. Yeah i get home ar noon an the 19 of April...but do i go to Brazil, Argentina Texas or what?????<br />

Interview Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12675366016419448986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486044199169065903.post-3860156403665290262012-12-17T11:56:00.002-08:002012-12-17T11:57:13.147-08:00December 3, 2012<br />
Dear family. . .<br />
<br />
This was a tough week here in Paraguay. We were getting things done, and then it was taken away. Nelson was doing so well. He was reading the Book of Mormon everyday, he was praying and he was so ready to be baptized...but Friday he tells us that he got a job offer in another city. So he told us that he wasn’t going to be able to listen anymore. . . he was sad to tell us. Then we had a great lesson with him. We talked about 3 Nephi 13 where it talks about looking for the kingdom of God first...and how man can only serve one master and then about the Lilies of the Field and how they never worried about stuff, that Heavenly Father always provides for them. When the spirit was strong in the lesson and Nelson could feel it, I promised him that he would find a job here in 3 bocas if he would come to church on Sunday, then I shared with him Ether 12:6 and told him that he would only find this work after the trial of his faith or after coming to church. We went by Saturday and he wasn’t there. . . we went by last night and he wasn’t there. His girlfriend said she had no clue where he went. He told us that he was going to call us and tell us when he would be leaving but still nothing from him.<br />
Yesterday Alex the Brazilian came to church. OMG. . .it was so embarrassing to be a member yesterday. God has to be directing the church, if it weren’t so, it would not exist here in Paraguay. During Priesthood, the branch president just talked about things to do to be auto sufficient...like make cardboard bikes and sell them....not a good idea. So Alex was bored during that time....Sunday School was good, he was participating a little, but sacrament.....OH My Gosh. There were no testimonies yesterday, just thanking people for junk and telling stories....then the last 15 minutes just awkward silence....Alex was almost sleeping. If it’s like that, end the meeting, don’t just sit there and stare at people to make them feel bad about not sharing their testimonies. Then we leave, and Alex says he was going to wait for a bus, going the other direction, he went to the terminal and bought a bus ticket. He is going to Brazil until January. So now we have no good investigators to teach!!!!!<br />
This is the last week of the change and it’s been a tough one. Ever since i got drug down with Elder Salas it’s been hard to climb out. It’s hard to get going and be excited to be a missionary. Elder Chavez and I were walking and we felt that we didn’t love our missions this week. I don’t know why, but it’s just tuff. Little things happen that make you feel bad, but you keep on doing them. That’s why I have been trying to study about testimonies. So I can get a stronger one, and change my mentality, and my heart, so that the Atonement will have more effect on me and I will be more faithful or a better missionary, well not a better missionary but to not die in these last 4 months and work hard till the last day!<br />
<br />
The first 6 and the last 6 are the hardest mom!!!<br />
<br />
Dad, de que parte viene abuelo? ¿Que parte? Todos me preguntan y no se que decirles. <br />
<br />
It’s getting really hot too...wake up in the middle of the night swimming in your bed of sweat! <br />
<br />
I think we will find out stuff for Skype next week, like on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Love you tons. . . .<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well. . . I’ll
be home for Thanksgiving next year. I can’t wait for that....hang out
with the family in the barn and eat real food, and not this stuff we have here
in Paraguay. Our Thanksgiving was good...we made Tacos. Better than
last year with Empanadas. But it was an alright day, just way too hot!!!
Sad that you didn’t get to go up to Washington for Thanksgiving. I hope
everyone comes to Thanksgiving at the barn next year. </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I don’t really remember a whole lot from this
week. We had some great lessons with Nelson, Cantalicio, Cezar, and
Alex. We have really been able to help them feel the spirit, and start to
receive a testimony of the Restored Gospel. Alex is a new kid we
have. He is 20, is married, and served a mission for some church for 2
years and so did his wife, one of those years was in America. So that
means that both of them are agents who act...we haven’t met the wife yet but
she wants to meet us. Alex really wants to find out if it’s true.
We actually taught him this morning at like 9:00. We taught him the
Gospel of Jesus Christ or in other words, Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Gift of
the Holy Ghost, and Endure till the End. He is from Brazil and is still
learning Spanish. So most of what he says is in Portuguese. My comp
doesn’t understand that much of what he says...but I was surprised when I could
understand that much. He always says the prayer in Portuguese and I can
understand all of it....it’s pretty cool...I just can’t really speak it. But
he is teaching us how to speak.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Sunday was sad because we didn’t have anyone come
to church. So they now do not have baptism dates....only Alex for the 8th
of December. We walked way out like 2 and a half miles to Nelsons house
to bring him to church but he was sick and couldn’t come....so we were really
tired Sunday, because we had to walk so fast to get out there.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week I finally finished Alma and I am in
Helaman. And in Portuguese I am in Words of Mormon....still a long way to
go. Also I have been studying about our free agency and about being an
agent. We are all agents already, but how many of us really act for
ourselves every minute of the day. That’s what I am really trying to do
in these last 4 months of the mission. Be a better agent and do stuff of
my free will and not because I have to clap houses or because I have to talk to
that guy on the street. This is really helping me to grow up more....and
make man decisions. Sometimes we feel that we are not really effective
missionaries, so that’s why I am trying to get better with this. We just
felt a little down this week, so dad the quotes that you sent to me were
inspired...I needed them...thanks. I too found a great quote by Elder Holland
this week, it’s not that directed the gospel but it’s funny:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">He said, Elders, if you we looking for your
wife right now, which would you choose, the one with the pretty face or the one
with the strong testimony??? He then replied saying, choose the one with
the pretty face, you can gain a testimony!!! HAHA</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Mom, I now know how it feels to have an Iphone in
your hands and use it. Yesterday Alex sent us a message asking when we
could meet again...and we don’t have any minutes left and it’s against the
rules to send texts from our phones, we used some ladies phone to send Alex a
message and it was with an Iphone. It was awesome....I’m so getting one
now.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">That’s so cool about all the new missionaries
getting their mission calls. I’ll bet Dalton gets his before I get home
right? And tell Aaron Hansen to have fun in Uraguay, he is going to freeze!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Also, we went to the cemetery this week. Big
mistake! Never going back. It’s not like in America where they get buried
under ground. Each family has its own little house in the cemetery and
they put the coffins in there for the whole family. I thought it was
going to be like on rocky when they put the body in the wall then seal it off
with cement or something. They don’t!!! They just have the coffins
all lined up on the ground or on shelves. I’ll send a pic. IT was nasty,
and creepy. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br clear="all" />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">And this week we got caught in the rain...I have
videos and pics for ya...</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">love ya all</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dear family. . .
we had another good week here in Paraguay. Elder Chavez and I are working
hard. And finally are seeing the results from our hard work. And
sounds like all of your hard work paid off too. Too bad you will have to
do it again when they build the temple in Meridian. I bet while the
Prophet was here, they went looking for a place to build it. We´ll get to
go to that dedication. </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week we didn’t have a ton of lessons.
But we did have really good ones with Nelson and Cantalisio. Nelson came
to church yesterday. Like 3 days ago we taught him Lesson 1 again and it
was awesome. It had been sort of a slow day with no lessons and I just wanted
to be done for the day. Elder Chavez started the lesson and got like half
through it and then I started to talk. I got out my book of church
pictures and taught it perfectly. The Spirit helped us so much in that
lesson we felt it and so did Nelson. Then he started to talk about his
testimony that he is gaining right now. Then he said the prayer and asked
God if it was true, if Joseph Smith was a Prophet and if the Book of Mormon was
true....and he just got real quiet and felt the spirit testify to him. He
knows it’s true. He has baptism date for the 1st of December. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Now Cantalisio ( Caun-ta-lee-see-oh ). He is
our neighbor. He is a stud. We or I taught lesson 2 to him Saturday
night. My comp said he doesn’t know how to teach it or know really what
to do for lesson 2. How can you not know how to teach the best of all the
lessons...the plan of salvation? So he really likes the Book of Mormon
and reads from it a lot....so I used like 1000 scriptures to share lesson 2
with him. He just sat there in amazement. He just asked, could it
be? Will I be resurrected? Will I see my wife again? We told
him how he could do all of this. Then we sang God be with you till we
meet again. As we were singing, I was thinking about the time that I have
spent here in Paraguay.. . . and that in 5 months I will be at President Agazzani´s
house with his wife and the other missionaries singing this song. I don’t
want to leave Paraguay. I want to stay... Then we finished the
song, and Cantalisio said the prayer. In his prayer he asked that God
would guide him to the truth and that he would bless us the missionaries to be
able to help him find the truth. He also asked if the Book Of Mormon and
if Joseph Smith were true. After he was done, he looked us in the eyes
and thanked us, with tears coming down his cheeks. This man is
amazing. He will be baptized the 1st of December.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Also, right now we are looking for new people.
Its so boring clapping houses. Spencer, we don’t get any of those so
called ´´Media References´´ so don’t ever complain haha.... ;) Oh and you
letter was cool Spencer. . . 90 some letters left to write mom...I got 20!!!
But I will congratulate you. . .2 months down. Was fast wasn’t it.
It just goes faster. And about going out with you to teach everyone, I don’t
know about that, I can only do it in Spanish. We have tried to teach people
in English that speak English and it just doesn’t come out good. The
gospel is better in Spanish. And you need to get on your comps butt for
being a lazy turd. It’s better to offend him then to offend the Lord.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Yesterday we had 5 investigators at chuch.
We were expecting Nelson, Cantalisio, Cezar, his wife Paola, and another
Paola. Of those 5 Nelson was the only one to come, and 4 others. So
that was good. Yesterday was the Primary Program. Oh my
gosh!!! Yes they worked kind of hard but it was bad. It was like
one of Spencer’s 4th Grade Pioneer projects, finished last minute at 6 in the
morning! There were like 10 kids in the program. No body plays the
piano here so it was just the CD´s of the music...and the kids didn’t know like
any of the songs, so it was pretty much listen to the Cd´s for 30 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was good anyways!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So mom, I too have been listening to Christmas
music. Can’t wait. They have lights up and trees here in my
area. They aren’t even close to what we have in America, and there is no Christmas
spirit. But we will have a little when I get my package. Oh yeah
and did you guys get my letter yet???</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I have also been doing more exercises. A ton
of abs and chest workouts. Morning and Night. I did some squats
too, oh my, my legs are so out of shape right now....I did 2 sets of 100 with
no weight, the next day they hurt so bad. Gonna need to do than when I
get home...get in shape.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">And MOM. . . not fair that you got an Iphone
5. If you have one, I am for sure getting one when I get home....You can’t
say no Dad. Who knows, maybe there will be an iphone 6. But really
mom it is sweet...do you have that thing called siri..where it’s like the hands
free text and look stuff up on your phone and the web???? Making me
trunky mom!!!!! </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />

and family.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Sounds like all of you had a good week. It
will be nice to be able to see the prophet and be at the dedication.
Maybe I’ll be there for the next one when they build the Meridian Temple.
Just like you all...the week was pretty much the same. But we did have
some good experiences. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">We have an investigator named Cezar. And his
wife and his dad....they are our neighbors. This week we had 2 great
lessons with Cezar. Elder Chavez and I have really been focusing in on
the needs of the people and not teaching every point of the lesson. The
first one we had was on Monday...or Tuesday. We were teaching Cezar with
a member...and then it was my turn to talk and I don’t remember all of
what happened, but Cezar just sat there in awe. So did my comp and the
member with us. The spirit just took over and gave Cezar what he
needed. After the lesson, my comp and the member kept asking each other
what happened to me. The only thing that it was, was the spirit. 3
days later, we went to say hi to Cezar but he invited us to come in...I shared
with him Alma 11 and Alma 40. He just lost his mom like 2 or 3
months ago. My comp said that the things I said were amazing. The
Lord has really prepared Cezar for the Gospel. Then yesterday after a
long, hard day without success, we were walking by and said hi to his dad...he
said look kids I’m Catholic and I’m gonna stay catholic. He asked if we
read the bible, and I said yeah. He let us come in and we had a great lesson...we
answered a ton of his questions and he has a baptism date for the 24th of
November. After he said the prayer, he asked what we thought of death...I
said you can see your wife again and be with her forever. He just sat
there surprised wanting to learn more...the spirit was testifying to him that
it was true so we left him. He is a great man.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week we were trying teach another older guy
at a members house. They are way inactive. My comp asks her, and
sister Troche, how did you feel when you knew that the gospel was true.
You know what she said...I NEVER KNEW IF IT WAS TRUE...WE GOT BAPTIZED BECAUSE
WE WERE GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE MISSIONARIES. What? Don’t say that when
they are trying to baptize your dad. This week there were more of those,
the church isn’t true in Paraguay feelings. The branch is struggling a
lot...we got called up </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;">10:00 Saturday night...saying um elders can you give
talks tomorrow??? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="apple-style-span">My comp has some knarley PFCs. I have a pic to send you with them on. He is doing good, he just worries way too much. Last night we were talking about all of the food that we buy from Campos Market...we talked about Jaritos and all the crappy candy they sell there haha. And he is a little bigger than me, and he is always asking everyone for water. So then they give me some water and its nasty. I am so tired of well water...its not the sweet clean water you get at grandpas house...this comes from a dirty dirt well...full of floaties and grass junk. BARF!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">This week was tough too....I have 5 months left. My trunky papers are here asking me where I want to land and what leadership I have had in the mission. I can’t wait to be home.<span> </span>I’m just trying not to think about it and not DIE before I come home. Mostly because we are having trouble finding new people to teach. My comp tries too hard at doors and on the road and it kind of scares people away...so then he gets mad or sad. When I have a good investigator I can go all day. But we have just been frustrated with not finding many really good elected chosen people to teach. Ands the week was bad because fetchin Obama won again. LAME!!!!!</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">I did get my shoes fixed...some guy stitched them up and put leather patches on the inside so they won’t rip anymore....I give it a month or 2 before I do it again. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">God is way too merciful to the people here in Paraguay. There is a barrio in our area it’s so bad. Babylon itself...the ladies are all naked and dressed like crud., And I have never seen so many drug deals in my life. We try not to go there because it’s like rougher than Compton. No Joke!!! When the Lord comes again, he is going to stop that barrio down hard.</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">I need 2 things mom.....</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">1. Waffle Recipie....i have a waffle iron in my house...and waffles are cheap to make.</span><br /><span class="apple-style-span">2. I need you to put 55 bucks in my savings account so I can take money out for something I bought.</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">love you all</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">Taylor</span></span></div>

<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This letter is late again because I was at
immigrations all morning, but this time it was for me. It was great
because we had a huge reunion of the missionaries from my group. . . So me, Heiner,
Stephenson, Mower, Neves, White, Bartelome, Cleverly and some others spent the
whole morning talking about whatever. Pretty much just movie quotes and
singing worldly songs but it was really fun. But I don’t know how I’m
going to live with Elder Heiner now...he has a satchel or man bag like Jordan
and Austins dads. Looks a little girl haha. Then we all sat down to
a great lunch at McDonalds....first time I have eaten fast food in a year and a
half. It was good, but kind of hard to eat. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">No mom, transfers are not this week,,,they were
last week. And I had to stay here in 3 bocas but I did get a new comp...
He is from Mexico...he is about to reach 5 months in the mission. He is
awesome. He has really helped me to get back into things. Elder
Pinche Salas pretty much killed my spirit and I was just done, but in a very
humble way, Elder Chavez, helped me to be back on top of the world. We
work really well together, and he is really excited to be a missionary.
This week we made some awesome food. Real food, not that Paraguayan stuff
that we get fed...we made some Tacos...They were delish. And he is going
to teach me to make Mexican rice and Mexican beans and a bunch of stuff.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So Elder Salas got sent to an area really close to
this one...he is with one of the most screw off missionaries in the mission. .
. and this is his last change so he is really trunky...then Elder Salas is
going to start his last change and he will just be even worse. I doubt the
area that they are in right now will see progress for the next 3 or 4 months.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I got all of the letters and pics last week.
Thanks. I can’t wait to use the sweet pics for my agendas...</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week we had some really good lessons.
One day it was going not as good...and then we had a lesson that made the whole
day worth it. We were feeling bad about how the work wasn’t great and
after the lesson with Fransisco, we could feel the spirit and we were happy for
the rest of the day. Elder Chavez and I have been teaching really
good. He has really helped me to regain the passion for teaching.
One thing he is always saying is ´´hey, elder, you only have 3 transfers
left...you have to take advantage of them, and I’m gonna help you.´´´ Its weird
to think that I have that much time left...it’s kind of sad. I’ve gotten
to be a good teacher, and really been able to help people understand the
message we share. It’s going to be a great transfer with Elder Chavez.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">There is something weird here, they have a ton of Christmas
decorations up in the supermarket here. They have little trees and
everything. I can’t wait for Christmas.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Now, is the watermelon season. So the roads are
just lined with watermelon pyramids. Yesterday we were walking and I said
hey I’m going to go eat that guys watermelon. We walked by and he said,
come here, you like watermelon...and we ate a ton of it with him...while we
were eating it we shared our message with him. He is kind of mentally
blind...everything he was saying was just backing up the restoration but he was
having a hard time understanding it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="apple-style-span">I ordered a tapa or a case for my PMG. On
the front it’s got Samuel the Lamanite preaching on the wall and on the back it
has a pic of missionaries with swords and the stripling warriors. I was
going to get it today, but I had to go to the office...so we´ll see when I get
it.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">It’s really hot here too...it was 103 yesterday

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dear
Family. . .sorry the letter is late, I was at immigrations, my comp had to sign
the papers or they would have deported him. It’s all jacked up now since
they threw out the old president of Paraguay.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This last week was ok. Not good as in the
work we got done, or the progress that 3 Bocas is seeing. But I had a
good week. Mostly because of the things I found out. First, 2 more
baptisms. The family that I found in Hernandarias got baptized. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elder LaFaye told me about it on
Saturday. Also he told me that Andres, my first baptism in Hernandarias
is the 2nd counselor in the Branch, and his wife Gabi is pregnant. That
was exciting. Also, Jorge and Betty from Puerto Pabla.They are doing
really good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After 7 years of struggle,
Betty got her divorce. So now she can get married to Jorge and then be
baptized. The only problem is that Jorge is being kind of tuff and saying
that after 7 years, the church told me when to get baptized...now I’m gonna
make the choice and be baptized when I want. I’ll have to write them a
letter of encouragement. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">But the most awesome thing that happened this week
was when Elder David A. Bednar came to the Mission. He came with Elder
Arnold the area president who I met a year ago, and Sister Bednar came
too. Elder Bednar is always sort of strict in his talks at General
Conference so I didn’t know what to expect. He was the exact opposite
with us. He was so funny. The best was when he said “el espiritu es
el maestro.” Then said ´´If you think that the people are going to
believe you, 19 and 20 year olds from the USA and Canada are going to convince
them about the truth of our message, give me a freaking break. You don’t
know anything...el espiritu es el maestro.´´ He didn’t even give a
talk. He asked us to read and study some talks he gave a while back, then
he said elders, what did you learn. Then we got to comment on what we had
learned and stuff. Then after a while it was changed up....he said ok,
now is the chance of a life time that most of you will never get again.
Now all of you may ask questions, and I will answer but don’t ask stupid
questions. Don’t ask me where the sword of Laban is...I don’t know, and I
really don’t care. He said an example of a good question is ´´Elder
Bednar, we sustain you and 14 other men as prophets, seers, and revelators,
could you teach us about revelation?´´ It was a good experience.
One person asked, what do I do when I am being 100 % obedient and work really
hard but I don’t have success, and in the other area there are two missionaries
who are not obedient and have tons of baptisms?´´ As my companion was
sleeping, he said, ´´those who are not obedient and are blessed with many
baptisms, it’s just a way of marking condemnation on them.´´ My comp
has a ton of baptisms, but I don’t know if they do him any good with how
he acts.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The best part of the whole conference was the end
when Elder Bednar shared his testimony. You could just feel that he is a
chosen servant of the Lord. His testimony was, I am a witness (or in
other words have seen with my eyes) that God has a body of flesh and bones, I
am a witness (or have heard) that Jesus speaks in our days, and that he takes
care of all the church matters. I am a witness that God the father and
the son Jesus Christ came to the sacred grove and spoke to Joseph Smith.
After that, he left us with his Apostolic blessing. I got one from Elder
Scott in the MTC and then one from Elder Bednar. Never had a better
spiritual experience!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Tomorrow we are going to find out the
changes. My comp has been here for 4 and he has 2 left...so I am guessing
that he is leaving...but I hope I get to leave. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I saw all of my friends on Saturday, LaFaye, Bowers,
Lamb, Bartlome, Stephenson, and Heiner. It was just a great big
treat. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dear Mom.
..</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Sounds like the family is really growing up and we
don’t have to sit around at little kid things anymore...well not for like 10
years.....or it could be less, but let’s not count on that. Just as Dad
said, looks like Grant is growing up haha. Remember when I broke my thumb
wrestling Tyler Moore and that weird doctor who did the x ray and gave me that huge
cast....well if you sort of remember, that’s what my companion looks
like. And he is studying to be a doctor too...</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">But also the whole family is sick it seems
like. Yall can’t poop out on me before I get home. All of you have
to be there. But I haven’t been feeling that good either. I haven’t
eaten hardly anything this week. One we still don’t have a fridge or
money...but when there was food I just had no desire to eat anything....I went
3 whole days without eating anything and then the other days I ate ramen
noodles because that’s all I bought. And I havn’t been able to sleep at
all...I got like 3 hours of sleep last night and 3 hours of sleep Saturday
night. It was probably bad of me but I took a nap yesterday....After our
overloaded sacrament meeting of 9 people including us we had lunch with the
bishops family and I ate a ton...Probably because it was real food and not
empanadas or junk food we buy on the streets. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So I got a letter this week from Audrey
Aultz. I’m going see Elder Hiener, Elder Lamb, Elder Bartlome, Elder
LaFaye, and a bunch of other mission friends. I don’t know what I’m more
excited for, see Heiner and Stephenson or meet Elder Bednar. It’s kind of
a toss up. (j/k)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So I’m pretty much done with Elder Salas. I can’t
take him anymore. This is one of those hard things I can do. In my
letter to president, I’m going to ask for a change....We have changes in a
week, so I’m just going to ask that he move me and not Salas. He only has
3 months left, he can stay here. I don’t know what he and his last comp
did, but this area is a disaster. All of the members just think that we
come over to talk or watch TV. And the way they treat us or how they
think they can act with us is inappropriate. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So the first thing that happened this week was
that a 13 year old girl put two sewing needles in the chair, they are the big 2
and a half inchers. Elder Salas sat down on it hard. Also he now
has a heart problem and kidney problems. And Sunday we gave talks....mine
was on charity and missionary work. It was good, I think I did a good
job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My comp took his backpack up to the
pulpit and started pulling a bunch of junk out of it. He pulled out a tennis
racket, a soccer jersey, and other lame stuff. He started talking about
how they were his treasures from Paraguay and it had nothing to do with any
spiritual message at all....and then mid talk he said oh yeah and this, pulled
out a guitar pick from his wallet and said I’m grateful that I can carry this
around with me always too. I used it to play the guitar and play
backstreet boys, then he started to sing part of a song from the backstreet
boys and he was also dancing...Soooo embarrassing.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I have one investigator who is pretty cool.
His name is Dionisio. He plays soccer, for the big teams here in Paraguay.
They play on the pro level. We might get some free soccer jerseys.
His wife is a member. He likes what we teach, but we can’t really
convince him to get married to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>her, or
even think about it really. Both of them say that nobody is meant to be together
forever. Big wall we have to break through. They didn’t come to
church yesterday either. I was banking on him to come. But there wasn’t
like a single person in the whole zone who had investigators come to
church. And the other ok investigators didn’t come either. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Oh yeah and here in Paraguay the Mangos are
here...every where you go, MANGOS. People just toss truck loads out
because they have so many. And there are limes, oranges and
bananas. How are the fruits down in Florida Spencer. Any oranges
yet or what??? Oh and Paraguay didn’t make the world cup so people down
here are pretty ticked off!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Have a good week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I love you<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dearest
mom....</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week was mas o menos. Not the best one
I´ve had in the mission. The numbers weren’t that great. Elder
Salas is really TRUNKY. It was just kind of hard. We are on a diet
by obligation....the fridge broke like 2 and half weeks ago and the office still
hasn’t done anything about it. I haven’t been able to buy food for the
last 2 weeks. The only stuff we buy is food on the street. That is
really bugging me. And the food here in Paraguay is really starting to
get to me too... I´m tired of it...no flavor, just boring gross
food....and its been making me sick. That’s why for Christmas I would
like you to send me some season salt or something like that.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Well a year ago I started my mission papers
mom. And I hit the 18 month mark!!! That was really fast. I
only have 6 months left and there are a ton of things I want to do. Like
finish the Book of Mormon again. I’m in Alma right now, in chapter
16. I think i will be able to do it. The day I get home, are we
going to read Moroni 10 in Spanish, English, Portuguese or Guarani? We
can read a little in all 4 languages. Oh and I got a letter from Grandma
Nette this week. When i was reading it i had an idea. She will be
at our house the night i get there...I’d like her to say the prayer after
reading Moroni 10, and follow his counsel and ask Heavenly Father if it is
true. That is if there is not a huge mob of people at our house. I
would rather not have a huge party that night...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So how is the school sign up going haha. You
can start today right. I was thinking about it this last week...see if
you can sign me up for BYU Provo too. Don’t know if i have good enough
sat scores to get in but its worth a shot. There won’t be that many
freshman who will be signed up. And I could work at the dental lab which I
will really need...a good job. But I’m going to see Elder Heiner on the 27th
when Elder Bednar comes so I’ll alk to him about it if i have a minute.
Maybe I can convince him to go to Provo...where all of our mission friends
are. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So a weird thing that happened this week was what
my comp said to a lady. She is a less active member. He was like
wow you are like really skinny since the last time I saw you. She said
something about her baby who is like 2 or 3. And my comp was like oh yeah
duh, she is sucking you dry....I can tell. Yeah that was awkward. I
know she is like the lady on Grown ups who let her kid breast feed for really
really really long but that doesn’t give my comp the right to talk about her
milk. So lame. He is just an interesting soul. Oh yeah,
another story he told to some members this week...apparently he was kidnapped
when he was little. But he was kidnapped by organ sellers. He said
that there were like 50 kids at this place and that they were going to harvest
their organs and sell them on the black market ( you can get organs in Ciudad
del Este). But he broke free and escaped, but none of the other kids
escaped only he did. Yeah ok...(in a Spencer voice.)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week we had interviews with Pres.
Agazzani. They were alright, but not as uplifting as the ones with Pres Callan.
He just asks you if you have questions for him. So I said what do I do
with my comp who is trunky, not wanting to do anything or obey the rules.
He told me about one of his comps. One who snuck out and was a
disaster. Then said we all will have one of those types of companions in
the mission. Then he said just deal with it. Then he just said be
happy and work hard to be a good example for him....and that’s what I’m trying
to do. Just help him to be a good missionary. A real returned
missionary, not somebody who did some tour of Paraguay and counted it as
service for the Lord.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So there is this one family that I found last
week. Dionisio and his wife Mari. He plays soccer for a semi pro
team. If he won his game yesterday then they will move up to the
pros. Mari is a member but not Dionisio. He is on vacation now so
hopefully we can find him. We have a planned visit with them tonight at
6. He had a baptismal date for the 27th but he has to come to church 2
times first. He is really cool. Hope we find him tonight. And then
there is the Ocampos Family. They are all members except for Fatima and
Monze. We are going to visit them tonight too. We want to have them
baptized Saturday or the next week. All Elder Salas and I want is one baptism
together. That was his goal on his mission, baptize with every comp....that’s
what I’m trying to help him achieve.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So some stuff that i would like for Christmas
would be Peanut butter, A Dr. Pepper, Pictures, A new tie, Jalapeño cheetos, no
gum i have some from last Christmas and my bday still, Season salt, some TJMaxx
special puma socks, mine are all holy and my ´´church socks´´ all the elastic
is gone so they just fall down, i would like my iPod cord and wall plug so i
can charge my iPod because the speakers are broken, and candy almond joy, twix,
kit kat, reeces, Swedish fish, butterfinger, twizzlers, and some face wash...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dear Mom. .
.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So conference was really good. The theme
that I got out of conference was to do the little things like take ocare of your
family, like telling your wife you love her, and spending time with the kids,
repentance...all of these things bring a mighty change of heart so that we can
all become disciples of Christ. SO yeah i enjoyed it. We had two
investigators go. Elder Hales sure made a comeback too...even stood up for his
whole talk. Only one more General Conference and I’ll be home....that’s fast
and crazy...2 months is Christmas, then 2 months later my b day and then I will
be coming home ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This week was starting off as usual...but then we
had divisions with the zone leaders. We did them for 2 days instead of
1. Elder Marple came over to my area and we got a lot of stuff
done. Elder Salas hates divisions and called the zone leaders to say not
to do them because I didn’t know the area. Whatever! So I talked to
Elder Marple on the phone and told him that he was coming over. He was
excited...and all we wanted to do was find new investigators and make some
plans and goals for my area...since it’s kind of in a wreck. We found
some great news and a ton of miracles. One is a great family that we
found. It was a lady who had been baptized like 12 years ago. She
said that her husband would never let us in...we asked him and he let us right
in. We had a sweet lesson and he has a baptism date for the 27th. Also
the 2 parents of the lady have baptism date for the 27th. That’s just one
of the people we found.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I set some goals for my area. I want the
Branch to turn into a Ward. SO we need more Priesthood holders. What I am
going to do to achieve the goal is 3 baptisms each change (every 6 weeks). 2 of
them are to be men that will get the priesthood. And 2 of them are going
to be references from members. To get those 3 baptism I will need to have
9 people with baptism date every week. And every baptism invitation will
be with a specific date. The little note I put on the wall in front of my
study desk...Act. Don’t be acted upon.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So some things have changed. The second coming
just got closer with the change of the missionary age. Looks like Dalton is

be hard for all of us to get married since all of the young ladies will want to
go on missions now. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

sister in my district from Mexico. She was in Encarnacion and knows
Fernando. She said he was mad about the sisters getting taken out of
Encarnacion and that they were putting elders back there....so he said he was
going to go on a mission. I sent him a letter last week so he should get
it soon. We´ll see what he says about that.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

Dear Family.....<br />
<br />
This was an ok week. We got this one kid Marcos confirmed on
Sunday. The numbers were ok....we still don’t have any stud
investigators....but we have been making friends with a ton of the less actives
to bring them back to church and to baptize their family members who are not
members yet. We will see how many of them start to progress, or come to
church. I don’t really know what to write to you...nothing amazing has
happened this week.<br />
<br />
I went on divisions with an elder from Australia. His parents are
from El Salvador but he is from Australia. And we got stuff
done...and we could feel the spirit because of what we did. You enjoy
those little moments here with Elder Salas. This week we are doing divisions
for 2 days with the Zone Leaders. I am going over to the Zone Leaders
area with Elder Hauser. Elder Marple is going to drop the cane a little
bit with Elder Salas. That’s why Iwent on divisions with the DL last
week...so he could see what we could do to help Elder Salas. That will be
fun to be with Elder Hauser again.<br />
<br />
This week is General Conference. I wish we had some good investigators to
take but whatever....That means that there is only one more general conference
till I get home. I still remember sleeping that whole day....now it’s
different....we enjoy listening to the prophet and apostles....Speaking of
Apostles, Elder Bednar is coming to the Mission in 3 weeks, at the end of
October...we are having a Conference with him and the North mission.<br />
<br />
Sounds like Spencer is just loving the Mission. He does need to enjoy it
while it lasts.<br />
<br />
Hey dad, that kid you are thinking of from eagle is Elder Shaw....he is pretty
cool.<br />
<br />
Really sad about Grandma Mann. I hope she can get over this one like she
did the other 2 or 3 times.<br />
<br />
So you all have been doing a bunch of work on the temple tour and stuff.
We are going to the temple in November I think. That’s what the
assistants said. Can’t wait to see how many temples they announce this
weekend since there were none last time. Have they done anything with the
Meridian temple yet...or will they start that when they finish up with the Boise
temple.<br />
<br />
Mom, did you ever send me pictures or say that the ward sent me pictures or
letters??? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to say you said that
to me.<br />
<br />
Well I love you all...I guess I’ll <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>just
keep on trying... ;)</div>

<span class="apple-style-span">I had transfers this week so it was a hard
one. I didn’t want to leave Hernandarias. It was such a great
place. My life was perfect there. Elder LaFaye and I were working
so hard, we were 100 percent obedient, and we got along so good. That
place turned into a paradise for us. It was really hard to say goodbye to
a bunch of people too. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">So now I’m in Asuncion again. I’m in 3
Bocas. And dad will never guess who my comp is. Dad, who was your
worst comp in the mission...you told me his name before...well that’s who my comp
is....!!! And he is just like your comp dad. He isn’t obedient, doesn’t
know how to work like a missionary, he isn’t allowed to use the cell phone, he
is still junior comp after 20 months in the mission and he is 25. And he has a
girlfriend...there are pics of her all over the wall above his bed...she is
42...yeah not joking mom....that is gross, I know you are 42 but you don’t have
a 25 year old boyfriend...well I guess you could imagine that dad is 25.
He is really nice and fun to be with but not as a missionary. Everyone in
my old district were like sorry bud that stinks for you....don’t let him screw
around or anything. So I have no clue how this transfer is going to go,
or this next 5 weeks. He has been here 5 months already so I bet we are
comps for only one change. </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />

<span class="apple-style-span">Last Tuesday Elder LaFaye and I worked so hard all
day, we got home and I packed up my stuff and we went to the terminal. Elder
Stephenson and I got our bus tickets and the bus left at 1 in the
morning. Then we talked on the bus for like 3 or 4 hours and then got
like an hour of sleep that night haha. It would be the last time to talk
to Elder Stephenson for 6 and a half months so we enjoyed our time. Then
we got to the terminal and I saw some old friends of the mish...and I saw my
old companion (the one who wasn’t yet a missionary) ....he got his mission call
to Peru.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">My area is really small. When I got to the
house it looked like that storm had gone through it. Ad we have like 3
investigators. I don’t even know who they are yet. All that my comp
does is visit less actives or converts. BORING! That’s going to change. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This
week we did a ton of service. Thursday from 2 to 7 we went to the North
Mission and went to a Hospital where they were doing operation smile and we
helped out there. There were some American kids there and kids from the
North Mission so that was fun to hang out with them. Then on Saturday, we
went back to Down town and helped with the Helping Hands Service Project.
We cleaned out a canal. It was so gross. Tons of garbage. I
saw Elder Lamb and Elder Stephenson so that was a fun service project...I’ll
attach some pictures.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br />

<span class="apple-style-span">My comp has a really cool DVD called On The Lords Errand
about President Monson....I loved it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

facebook. They are from Eagle and he comes home with us too. The
four of us are going to have so much fun at home...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

sounds like Spencer sure was excited to go to the MTC....He will be a great
missionary. Just pray that Spencer has a good trainer. I was just looking
at the pics of him...he looks excited to be there...I’m gonna write him something.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br />

. . Elder LaFaye and I are doing great. We had another awesome week.
Not to be proud or to boast but we killed the zone again. We just
finished the change. And we did it with 3 more baptisms. Yes mom 3
more....McCall, you can put it on the wall!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">We had these 2 people who
were gonna get baptized on Saturday, Blanca and Fredy. So the Zone
leaders come over Friday night to do the interviews. While Elder Bowers
(from Star Valley, who know the Heaps and the Gardners and all the wrestlers)
was doing the interview, this kid from next door sat down and asked him what he
was doing. He told him that Blanca was getting baptized and that they
were doing some questions to see if she was ready. This kids name is
Fernando. He said well I want to get baptized too, and we asked if he had
gone to church before and he said yes, and his mom is a less active member.
So we taught him the commandments and the lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

buses so the zone leaders stayed the night at our house, they slept on the tile
floor...not fun. We got up Saturday morning and at 6:30, Elder LaFaye and
I went to fill the baptism font. Then at 8 we left and got ready at the
church for the baptism at 9. LaFaye and Bowers went out to get the kids
for the baptism. Eelder Knudsen & I stayed at the church. Then
all of the sudden this kid named Hugo showed up...he was cool but then he got
on drugs and it left him all jacked up. Yeah well he did a canon ball
into the baptismal font. What an idiot! Then he got the floor all
wet, and then went outside and climbed up the 65 foot water tower. We
thought he was gonna jump...he is that messed up in the head right now. So
that was a little set back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptisms....all 3 of them were baptized. It was sweet. That’s what
you were called to do Spencer...baptize. Don’t ever forget that....your
purpose is to baptize. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

special stake conference with President Monson and Elder Anderson, someone from
the presidency of the 70 and Sister Reeves from the R.S. presidency. But
it was by satellite, so it’s not as cool. Everyone but the Prophet spoke
in Spanish. ELder Anderson did a good job...haha he even talked about
Cerro and Olimpia...the two biggest soccer teams in Paraguay. And we had
5 investigators at church too. Two of them are getting baptized this Saturday.
They are twins and their names are Jose Maria and his sister’s name is
Maria Jose. Kind of funny. And Andres, my convert here, got the
Melchizedek Priesthood yesterday. That was also really cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

finished the change. I will probably be leaving Hernandarias tomorrow
night. I have been here 6 months already....that was fast! But this
last change or last 6 weeks Elder LaFaye & I did really good We had 4
baptisms, 89 people with a baptismal date, 13 people came to church, 36 lessons
with a member present, not that good, 150 other lessons, really good, 89 new
investigators, and 128 baptismal invitations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

here in Paraguay. Elder LaFaye and I have bikes now. Its got its
goods and its bads. The roads stink and the seats are hard as a rock, and
my legs are like rubber, they hurt so bad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

hard this change and it finally paid off. Baptism this last Saturday.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So this guy’s name is Jose.
We found him in the road like 2 weeks ago. We taught him 3 times
and he came to church. His family said that he couldn’t get baptized but
he is 23 so he can do what he wants. His dad got super mad at us and
yelled at us to never come back. But earlier in the week I was on divisions
with Elder Knudsen and we did his baptism interview. So now it was like “how
are we gonna get this guy baptized?“<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

leg, one is shorter than the other so he can’t walk very good, he uses
crutches. He goes out for a walk every morning. So Saturday
morning, we were a little disobedient and left the house like 2 and a half
hours early and rode our bikes out to his house, well close so his family couldn’t
see us and the plan was to wait till he passed by, and then take him to be
baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

there for like an hour, then he passed. We said hey José, you want to get
baptized, he was like claro...let’s go. So we called the other elders so
they would go fill up their baptismal font, and then I called brother Miranda
to come get us in his car. We took José over to the other area and I
baptized him, then we confirmed him there and brought him back. So it was
like a half kidnapping. But he was happy and excited that he got
baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your last week free...don’t do anything too stupid or that I wouldn’t do!!!
But good luck with your talk this week and the MTC next week. I”ll
write something for you next week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

gonna be my last week in this area, it’s been 6 months... I think I might have
a change. Too bad, because Elder LaFaye wants me to stay sooo bad, he is
lost in this area, no I’m just joking,,, but I would love to stay with him for
another change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a good week. We had some good lessons and some new investigators.
Finally after who knows how long we had a ton of people in church.
6 investigators came to church yesterday. We have 4 people with baptismal
dates and 13 more had baptism dates on Saturday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

happen this week.. .. .. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

beat by her crazy husband. He wanted to go play soccer with his friends
but his wife wanted him to stay and help with the baby. Then they started
to yell in Guarani, and when people yell or fight in Guarani it sounds way
worse. Then he hit her with something and she stared to bleed pretty bad.
He went and played soccer and she packed his crap up and tossed it in the
road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Lambs dad, pretty sad. I havn’t heard anything about that. Maybe
pres wrote something in the informe...Elder Lamb told me about a time when his
dad crashed and nothing happened, he had another crash 4 months ago and this
one finally got him. I don’t know what Elder Lamb is going through right
now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been weird. Always while I am teaching, I have one of those like out of
body experiences. I’ll like hear myself teaching the people. One
time I was just listening to myself pretty much. And then I’ll think
like, how did I know that, how did I say that...and it’s just a way I can see
the spirit working through me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all want to know how the week was..... I saw Elder Heiner.....Enough
said!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

this was a great week, Elder LaFaye & I didn’t have as many lessons as last
week but we did have some better lessons meaning that the people are
progressing. Right now we are teaching Blanca who is 15, all of her
family are members except her and her brother. We have been teaching her
for a few weeks now. Last week we watched the 20 minute video of the restoration
with her. It was a boss lesson...she was crying, and her eyes were full
of tears and her lips were shaking. The movie ended and I started to talk
to her...I asked her why she had tears in her eyes and she didn’t respond, then
I said I know why, its because the things we are teaching you are true....and
she nodded her head. Then we set a baptism date with her. This Sunday
she was ready to go to church, dressed and everything, but her sister in law
didn’t show up so she couldn’t come, she had to watch her brothers and sisters.
So that was disappointing, and we didn’t have anyone in church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Then
we have Mariela. She is a cousin of a member family and she would always
complain that she wanted to have the same joy and happiness as the member
family. So we have taught her a few times and she has come to church
once. We were going to watch the Joseph Smith movie but the speakers on
her computer didn’t work. and she couldn’t come to church yesterday <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

zone conference this week...that where I saw Elder Heiner. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elder Zaballos and his wife came. He is
a member of the 70, and he was way cool. He is from Chile. Its always
cool to get a general authority to come to the mission, because you get to
shake their hands and give them hugs. He told us some cool stories too.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

last few weeks it has been blazing hot. Like the summer is already here,
but like 2 days ago it changed all of the sudden...We were freezing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

never try to make pancakes with chocolate milk...they are terrible. That
was a mistake yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

didn’t shower Saturday night, and I didn’t shower last night because there wasn’t
water. So today I felt like Laura Ingalls when I had to heat up some
water on the stove and shower out of a bucket!!! Man the things that
happen in Paraguay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

you need to send me Spencer’s mail box so I can send him a letter....I want to
send it before he gets to the MTC so he can get it while he is in the MTC.
So if you could send that this next Monday. Great!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

about the best time of the week was during zone conference when I saw Elder Heiner.
When I walked in and he saw me...he got the biggest smile...like he had
just kissed the hottest girl for the first time. You should send this to
his mom so she can send it to Elder Heiner..... We gave each other the
biggest hug a missionary has given. And I knew he was gonna be there and
he knew I was gonna be there asi que we both brought the bucket lists and
compared. IT was so fun. ANd sign us up mom, we are living togather
at BYU Idaho. Make sure I get accepted there because we are gonna have a
ball. And of course I have some great pics from the week!!! He
asked if I wanted to do summer sales with him...I said I don’t know. I
would just rather work at the farm....or find a dental lab to work at. I
want a secure job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Ok so we had another good
week. We had 35 lessons. We had 3 other lessons with members
present and 1 less active person. We had 18 new investigators and 25
baptism invitations. We found this one kid named Atilio on Saturday and
he has baptism date for the 8th of September. He came to church yesterday
and he is really cool. Yesterday morning we left early to go look for all
of our investigators and we went by like 10 houses and only Atilio came.
That was kind of disappointing. But it was a good week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Elder LaFaye and I are
doing good, I’ve never worked harder on my mission. We both just have the
same mind set and we are doing everything to help our investigators progress.
And yes we are still tearing it up!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I think the most spiritual
experience this week was last night when we were teaching a dude named Wilys.
He is like 50, and goes to a church but loves to hear what we teach.
Last night my comp was sort of out of it and I was just talking with
Wilys and he could feel the spirit, it was really strong in his house.
He told us I wish I had 10 boys that were just like you...with desires to
help people understand God and just serve people all the time....he just made
us feel so good, like we are doing a good job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Atilio and Wilys. Then we have a few others who are progressing but we
have this family of Gold. Its Fernando and Andrea. I don’t know
what to do with them....they are freaking perfect. They (well andrea) goes to a
different church. I told her that she could feel that spirit stronger in
the church. Fernando has more desire to learn if it’s true what we teach.
The two of them agree with the apostasy, that the power of God was lost
for many years....and then I ask them, who brought it back??? And the
subject gets a little changed. So we are going to watch the Joseph Smith
movie with them and see if they can feel that he got the power of God from Peter
James and John. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

week idk...I forgot my agenda today and I always have stuff written in that to
write to you. We broke a bunch of beer bottles to show our stand against
drinking in Paraguay. But that’s an everyday thing. Ha I remember....Pres
Agazzani started this new thing that every month we have zone meeting its just
like district meeting but with the zone. Elder LaFaye & I were the
only ones without suits on haha...nobody told us to bring suits...who wants to
wear a suit to work in its blazzing hot again...winter is already gone.
SO that was funny, we were the ´´Zone Rebels´´ that day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

conference with Elder Zaballos and his wife. He is a new member of the
Area Presidency. That should be fun..maybe I’ll see Elder Heiner<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

in Paraguay. Now the house is empty..kids back to school, dad at work,
and now you have work. And its getting really close for Spencer to leave.
And I’m gonna be 21 in 6 months---I’m gonna be an old fart!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

my mission...we´ll see. I’ll let you know in a month and a half when they
send me papers to come home....trunky papers. I’ll fill them out so they
can buy me a plane ticket and so they can call a new missionary to come fill my
spot. I can’t believe how fast this is going....it’s almost too fast.
If I were to come home today I wouldn’t be ready, I still have a lot to
do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Dear mom,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So I finally got a new
comp...It’s Elder LaFaye from Tuscan Arizona. He has about 10 months in
the mission and he knows what he is doing. That’s all I asked for.
A person who would work hard and who understood his purpose as a
missionary. We worked our butts off this week. It’s been a long
time since I have worked like this. Elder Keller & I worked hard but
never this hard. This week we had 4 lessons with members present, 29
other lessons, we have 2 investigators progressing, 23 new investigators, and
28 baptismal invitations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">And all week I was just
able to teach everyone, not to take all the credit but I was tearing it up.
All the lessons went by almost perfectly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">My new comp was in Elder Heiners
last district so he knows him pretty well. Elder LaFaye told me that Elder
Heiner started a lint collection. SO every night he gets out his zip lock
bag and puts his belly button lint in it. I don’t know if I want to see
that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

trip this weekend; Andres went, so that’s good for him. I haven’t talked
to him about it yet but he was super excited about going to the temple. I
think his wife was even more excited.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So we found this one family
this week. The guy is like 25 and so is his wife. We just were
talking to him in the road, and he invited us to come to his house like half a
block away and we taught him and his wife. It was a great lesson.
We invited them to be baptized and they both accepted. But Saturday
night we had another lesson and they wanted to wait to come to church until
this coming Sunday. They are so cool; they gave us their dinner that
night. It was homemade pizza. It was so good, and she had homemade
garlic salsa. Its like mayo that tastes like garlic, you put it on your
Lomito Arabe....a lomito arabe is like an arabic burrito....so I put some on my
pizza and it was spicier than normal....then I told my comp what it was, and he
put this huge spoonful on his pizza....his mouth was on fire for like 2 hours.
He ate like 3 more pieces of pizza but without the salsa. That was
a funny of the week, and another was me. Saturday we are outside and I
had had the cheeves all morning chivivi...thats guarani for the craps or the
you know whats. SO I stopped on the side of the road to take a pee and I
took a wrong step and crapped in my pants. We were like a mile from the
house and without the key to the church. Not good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hahahaha<o:p></o:p></span></div>

great time boating, wish I was there to enjoy that. and tell Spencer that
on his mission he needs to make up some name and use it to contact people.
So here we are always are looking for ´´Juan Benitez´´ it just
gives us an excuse to talk to the people, But yesterday we found him, it was so
funny, we started laughing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

like you all had a great week up at McCall. Wish I could have been there,
next year :) And I just can’t wait!!!!!!!!!! This week was, well I
feel the worst of my mission. Just of how crappy the week went and with
my companion. He is Gone Johnson tomorrow night. So I’m stoked for
that. I am staying here in my area another change until Spencer gets to
the mtc. They can’t just leave a local missionary in an area after one
change...he has no clue what he is doing. This week we were out of the
house a total of 7 or 8 hours I would say, that includes district meeting and
church. I’m so upset. He is going to another area though, for
another 6 weeks. We don’t know where or with who but, he is staying.
The zone leaders haven’t called me yet with the changes, they will do
that tomorrow. I have never felt worse about a week in the mission then
the week that just passed. we´ll just leave it at that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

last week I read my patriarchal blessing again. There are some important
things that make so much more sense to me now. (note from mom . . . I
edit his letters each week before posting - - I will keep some of these things
private for Taylor!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

next change I don’t really care who my comp is as long as he will work and be obedient.
I only have 8 months left, i just want to finish the right way. I’ll
be happier. And my goal is 9 baptisms by the time I finish, that will
bring my total to 20 baptism...I would feel good with that number. And in
this next change some goals that I have are to be in the road at 10:30, no
later, also write in the area book every night, have comp study, and comp
inventory. Haven’t really done any of these this last change.
That’s really all that the mission is, setting goals, and learning to change.

now, I have been finding some people to teach, but I don’t have anyone who is
progressing. But Andres is going to the temple this week so that’s cool.
Not really any prospects for baptism right now. I’ll get that next
week with a new comp, I was talking to pres about my comps and he was like oh
you trained already great....like he just had the light bulb go off of somebody
who can train. Well I’ll find out tomorrow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

being the DL. It has its nags like calling everyone on Sunday and asking
for the numbers and then calling the zone leaders and telling them the numbers.
But I do enjoy making a lesson for the district meeting. Tomorrow my
lesson is based off of Matthew 13:18-23 the parabol about the sembrador, I don’t
know how to say it in English. The sewer it think. And I get to do
the baptism interviews. And I get to decide when to go on splits and with
who. Its always bomb to go on splits with Elder Stephenson :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week was better. On Tuesday, I went on divisions with Elder Call.
He is from Idaho Falls, has about 10 months in the mission. We tore
it up that day. Just before at the District Meeting, I talked about the
baptism invitation and inviting people with a baptism date. Then right at
the end, I told all of them to invite people before even saying the opening prayer.
Everyone just kind of smiled like what the freak is he saying. The
zone leaders were there and they were like excited about the idea. So
that day Elder Call and I invited 6 people to be baptized before saying the prayer.
It was good; it really helped them to understand why we are here.
They all accepted baptism dates too but none of them came to church, and
the rain did not help us at all. We did have 2 people at church.
But the numbers of the District are really improving so I´m happy about
that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is the last week of the change; next Tuesday we (well most of us) will have new
comps. So we will see what happens with me next week. Well that’s
what Pres. Agazzani said in our interviews. Pres Agazzani asked us
2 questions and they were how much time do you have in the missions - - 15
months I said and he said oh so little time left for you. Then he asked
how long I have been in this area and I said 3 changes or almost 4 months. And I
said so I will be here one more change because my comp is going back to his
house. Pres said idk, we´ll see what we do with you. I guess we´ll
see next Tuesday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a preview for the Olympics last week at the super market. I was so mad.
Why do I have to miss the summer Olympics, why can’t I have missed the

marched in. What are they going to compete in, sleeping???<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was an ok week. I went on Divisions with Elder Garzon from Columbia.
He has the same time I do in the mission. It was like every other Tuesday
of this change. I got stuff done!!! Every time I have been on divisions
with another elder things got done in my area. All last change I just
wanted to do my best and help everyone, that’s why I’m the DL....because
Heavenly Father knows what I want and what I wanted. This change has
really stunk. I know we had the 2 baptisms but that was because Elder Keller
and I taught them. I really feel like the ´´work´´ that has been done
with Elder Cardozo is not great. I have never felt that this badly about
my work ethic, but this last change is killing me. This week we have
interviews with Pres. Agazzani. I’m sure I will be the last because I’m
the district leader...and I will have to tell him how the district is doing,
how I’m doing and my comp. So I can’t wait for that. My district is
doing better this week; we had better numbers in total. In the district meeting
last week I prepared a lesson on obedience. I told all of them that they
needed to dust off where the others can’t see, and that their investigators
will not progress if they are not obedient or progressing. Then we did a
practice where they all had on point of lesson one and they had to teach me.
They had to invite me to be baptized at every point, so Elder Call taught
the apostasy and had to invite me and so on. It was a good practice, and
the district as a whole had more invitations. Tomorrow I´m gonna talk
about inviting with a baptism date, we aren’t doing so hot in that right now.
And we are so close to reaching the goal we have of 7 baptisms this
month. After this week we would need 2 more, hope we can do it and find
some miracles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week I was mad at my comp and tired of him being lazy. And the lessons
were not happening and I told him to clap a house and to my surprise he did it.
Some little girl came out and yelled into the house ´´Mormons¨´ and then
a dude came out all excited, he asked us if we were gonna come in, how the
church was doing and that never happens mom. Then I was like this guy has
to be a member, but he isn’t. We had a sweet lesson with him and invited
him to be baptized....he said if God answers his prayer. Also I have been
working with the less active to find part member families...it’s been working
out good. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

seems to me that the summer is just about to end. Reunion next week, then
football is gonna start, next Spencer will be gone, a month later I will get
papers that ask me where I want to fly to, and what day I am leaving, then you
will get my flight and travel plans. Time just goes by too fast mom.

have transfers in 2 weeks....I wouldn’t mind staying here for 2 more transfers.
I will be here for at least one more transfer, or until Spencer goes to
the MTC. I really like the area that I am in. And we are seeing a
lot of progress in the Branch.....80 people yesterday. Record!!! They
almost ran out of cups of water for the sacrament.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

really been thinking about what dad said to me in his letter this last week.
I have always been a leader. People always picked me. I don’t
know why, but they always did. I’m just trying to be that example to everyone
in my district. I know I can work harder out here . . . I am just trying
to serve and learn. Wrestling and my job at the lab, everyone always saw
how hard I worked, i don’t know if I have worked as hard here as I did at
wrestling or at the lab. I already have a list of stuff to ask Pres.
Agazzani this Thursday. If I could just be with Elder lamb, Elder Heiner,
Elder Bartlome, or Elder Stephenson. People who I see work hard, who
understand what our purpose is, and just do everything possible to be the best.
I know what would get done!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
