Hey family!
It was really goo to talk to yall the other day! I didnt plan out what i was gonna write today so i dont really know exactly what to say! We woke up at 4 today cause we had to go to the temple.. I am sooo tired right now.. i will hopefully be able to go to bed a little early tonight though! We went through the session today with Elder Clark.. a member of the quorom of the 70.. the other elder falabella was there too but he is just a member of the area 70.. that was cool cause i got to shake his hand.. I am doing well though.. we are teaching somebody at 6 tonight who has been to church 5 times and has a gf in the church.. hopefully we can get him baptized soon!! We eat lunch together everyday now and i am really starting to like the food here.. even with crunchy crap in it sometimes i can still manage to get it down.. I am not as picky as i used to be!! :)

anyway mom i am sending you 5 pics 3 for mothers day.. two need to be sent to gmas.. and one for dad and the herbarium and one for the fridge.. they will be sent tomorrow or thurs.. so let me know how long it takes to get them.. also i am allowed to email friends so would you please give cody my email and tell him to write me one.. even if its short.. i cant email friends every week.. but if i have time after my family i can and he is like family anyways!!! Well I dont know really what more to say today... i only have 12 days left in this change then i wont have to be the new elder anymore at a mtc ccm or the field!! that will be cool.. . the temple was good and its soo peaceful in the celestial room... dad thanks for the email and hopefully you werent too hard with your final this time.. haha your gonna like the picture i sent you in the mail.. i am glad to hear that everyone is doing good and know that i pray for yall in pretty much every prayer.. Every single one of yall are amazing and i am so glad that through this gospel we can live together forever with Heavenly Father and Jesus.. its like the coolest part of our church and its fun to share with others this opportunity that we can take advantage of through being obedient and living the gospel!! I love yall so much and next week ill have more to write about.. i am doing well and starting to eat better.. haha no more arrigamortis atleast for the moment... keep me in your prayers and keep sending me emails cause they are awesome.. I love yall so much and dont ever pass up an opportunity to share the gospel or your testimony with somebody who needs it!! Keep trecking forward through the hard days and thank our Heavenly Father for your trials and weaknesses.. Ether 12;27 is awesome how our weak thing will be made strong and also DC 120 : 7_8 maybe... our trials maybe but a small moment and if we endure it well we will be exalted on high!! Thanks for all the examples yall are to me!! Love Yall so much..

Elder Falabella of the 70 talked to us at zone conference and it was cool.. This week was a little rough but i am doing better now and ready to work hard another week with hopefully more success.. We have been leading the zone in our #s for these last two weeks which is cool.. it shows we are working hard but its not really about the numbers.. the indicators have changed now and they are really focused on families and baptism which will be hard but good at the same time.. Our investigators were confirmed last sunday and it was really neat but we didnt do it the bishop did.. One pic didnt work so you wont get one of those.. I am going through the bom and marking all the Christ references and its cool to see how much he a part of it..All the kids here try to talk to me in english and its funny and i talk back to them and help them get their balls down from roofs which makes me feel cool! haha they are cute and fun to talk to... my spanish continues to get better and i am still working hard on it.. we had interviews the other day and they were good.. our two families are doing well... we just need to get them to church and the kids to mutual..

We cleaned our house so i feel cleaner now which is good!! haha and its starting to rain a lot now which is cool... slash bad.. i need to buy some polyester ties cause all my silk ones get wrecked when they get wet.. i got some pics developed today that i might send in a bit.. and yeah the address i sent in the first email from here is correct mom.. last week i ate hot dogs.. sandwhiches and ramen for the whole week but this week i am expanding and itll be better.. Haha the girls here love the white elders and they stare at us obiously all the time.. its funny to me.. and i am soo tall here its awesome!!! I presented our districts ideas the other day in spanish in front of our zone and bore my testimony in spanish in front of our ward last sunday!!!
THe other day i had a thought.. folllowed it and found the kid we were looking for and another kid and taught him the first lesson.. i am trying to follow my thoughts now and focus really on feeling the spirit and following it!! Anyway everything is good here and i still have ups and downs but thatll be for the whole mission but that is what will make me strong.. its a great opportunity to be here and be a representative of the Christ here and its very humbling.. I love yall a lot and hope your week goes well and know i am praying for all of yall.. especially yall sherrie and to have the Lords will take place and everyone be comforted who is involved in the situation!! Bye and will talk to some of yall! I can only have people call me.. so if yall figure it out talk to mom see how yall could work it ourt with conference call or something!! Thanks for being such a great family and example for me!!!
