Wow it's so good to hear from you guys! This week has been a long one. But it's picling up. We found this one lady who is way great. She said the closing prayer and she started to cry. She felt the spirit. It reminded me of you Mom :) buts that's a good thing :) But ya i'm healthy and happy. I was wondering if you guys could send me some protein powder? I lack protein in this country cause i'm not drinking milk anymore. It's just too expensive. And it's not the same as milk in the States. I miss milk so bad! haha. But it's so true. I dream in spanish too! I even sleep talk in spanish haha. My dreams are in english then they switch to spanish. It's funny. But a Disneyland/Knotts trip sounds like a BLAST!!!! i can't wait! But Dad you need to eat more! 182 that's tiny!!!! I'm going to get home that size ok? I bet the spanish will be the same between me and Matt. Our Mission Prez is from Chile so i know how they talk. They both speak a rather lazy spanish haha. But Happy Birthday to Kenna and Becca coming up!! But ya we're working hard trying to find people. So prayer for us :) thanks. I LOVE you guys and i'll stay safe i promise :)

Hello Family! Wow it sounds like you guys had a blast in California. I'm super jealous!! But i'm healthy and happy :) My kidneys feel great. I'm just making sure to drink lots of water. But i bought pills the other day to help my kidneys and i woke up with a rash on my whole body haha! Ya i won't be taking those pills ever again haha. I work the whole day with a long sleeve shirt on lol. But that'd be way fun hitting up Knotts Berry Farm when i get back. But who knows what 2 years away from roller coasters will do to me. I could come back as a wuss....but who knows. Wow that's so awesome that Matt is home and that Trev comes home this week. I can't wait to hang out with them when i get back. Did Matt talk in spanish? But this are going kinda slow here. We're working super hard but nobody wants to hear the Gospel. But we'll continue to do our 10 contacts to find those chosen ones in Hato Mayor. But ya things are great with me. Me and Hampton bought protein powder cause we're working out. And i lack protein in my diet. So maybe i'll gain all the weight back that i lost. I started out the Mission at 180 and i weighed myself today and it said i weigh 164. But i'm trying haha. But i love you guys so much!!! Take care and be safe ok? Que Dios Les Bendiga!

Hey Family!!! Yes i would LOVE to hit up Disneyland when i get back. That would be very very awesome!!! We're working realy hard it's true. I feel very good working hard with my old comp. It's nice cause we both know spanish so we can just switch off whenever and pick up where ever we are. He just came off of Training a new missionary and he didn't know anything so it's a nice break for him haha. Ya i won't lie to you guys. I think my kidney infection came back. Last night i woke up with tons of pain. But with prayer the Lord helped me out...and a pill too. I'm super jealous that you guys got to go to California. But my time will come haha. Things are going good here. We are still trying to find more people to teach. We have a good line up but we need more. We trying very hard to listen to the prompting of the spirit while we're contacting so he can lead us to the "Chosen Ones" haha. But it's good to hear Rachel and Brady are coping well with this loss. It must be hard. Wow grandma scored big didn't she? I can't wait to visit her. But things are great with me. I love you guys. Stay safe and i'll do the same here :)

Family!!! I just want to write you to tell you that i'm safe and healthy! We didn't have internet last monday and my comp was saying goodbye to everyone. He left for the capital. And guess who i got? Elder Hampton....again haha. My 2nd comp back in Yamasa! We go campo to campo together. Haha it's pretty awesome. We don't have to get used to each other we just picked up where we left off back in Yamasa. So we're working SOOO hard now! Doing tons of contacts sharing the gospel with everyone that will let us. It feels so good to be working really hard. We have like 6 people who are lined up for baptism this transfer. We are going to set a baptism date with a family tonight. Things are going way good here. I'm loving the mission. The other day we were walking home and i was going to take a step in the dark but i looked down and saw something brown so i stepped of to the side and realized that it was a snake. The Spirit told me to watch out and thank goodness that i did. It could've bit me and we're out here in the middle of no where. But that just shows you that the Lord is taking care of me cause i'm doinghis work. I love you guys so much. Rachel...i'm so sorry to hear about this loss in your life. But i have a scripture for you...Ether 12:6. I think this will go good with the help you need to keep going. Take care...and no i need to apologize for the way i treated you. It wasn't Christ like and i regret it deeply. So i'm sorry. But i love you guys so much. I hope everyone is staying safe and reading your scriptures daily. It's going to help with all of your problems.
