Have fun with this: it's from an on-line translator.

Alright, sorry, so using an iPad and the language is in Spanish then
because the truth is that you I will not be able to write them well
today. Indecent I will try to write a little here in rapid Spanish.
Week and was in fact very well, well soft. We have 2bautismos for that
week. The only story I have that week was in riding my bike. We were
in exchanges and was practicing with my partner while we were on
bicycles and were on a street where there were many trucks, what step
is that there was a truck in front of me if di considered that, but in
that time it was still moving truck, a man behind my me greeting and I
volte a verlo, while I was looking back at me, truck is parked and I
to rar in front again of my di realized that too late, pege truck in
the trunk, and I hit it hard, lol pretty hard, I went flying and I got
the truck hitting the back of a 2012 Honda civic part leaving a mark
and an iron there but haha man told me that nothing happens, thanks
to... Well, that was my only experience in the mission,
again today was there with my fellow lquen does not know good
bicycling and was looking at me when I hit a car also estaciando this
time was a trip and his knee is a little bleeding but all is well. We
are well. Working well. We have not had problems this week I think
that we are going to change House. We are safe here and the Lord
always cares.

Peace, love, and forgiveness that the letter ta as well this week, and
the iPad autotype this well soft but often does not work well, then it
will be difficult to read this letter, I love them

Alright perdón so usando un iPad y el idioma es en español entonces
pues la verdad es que no voy a poder escribirles bien hoy. Lépero voy
a tratar a escribir un poco aquí en español rápido. La semana e muy
bien, de hecho estuve bien suave. Vamos a tener 2bautismos para esa
semana. La única historia que tengo esa semana fue en andando en mi
bicicleta. Estábamos en intercambios y estaba practicando con mi
compañero mientras que estábamos en las bicicletas y estábamos en una
calle donde no había muchas carros, lo que paso es que había un carro
enfrente de mi si di cuentea de eso, pero en esa tiempo todavía estaba
moviendo el carro, un hombre atrás de mi me saludo y yo volte a verlo,
mientras que yo estaba mirando atrás de mi, el carro se estaciono y yo
a otra vez rar en frente de mi di cuenta de eso demasiado tarde, pege
el carro en el cajuela, y lo pego duro, jajaja bastante duro, yo fui
volando y subí el carro pegando el parte atrás de un 2012 Honda cívic
dejando una marca y una plancha allí pero jaja el hombre me dijo que
no pasa nada, gracias a ...... Bueno pues, eso fue mi única
experiencia así en la misión,
otra vez hoy esTaba allí con mi compañero lquen no sabe andar bien en
bicicleta y el estaba mirando me cuando pego un carro también
estaciando esta vez fue un excursion y su rodilla esta un poco
sangrado pero todo esta bien. Nosotros estamos bien. Trabajando bien .
No hemos tenido problemas esta semana yo creo que vamos a cambiar de
casa. Estamos seguros aquí y  el señor nos cuida siempre.

Paz, amor, y perdón que la carta ta así esta semana, y el autotype de
el iPad esta bien suave pero muchas veces no sirve bien, entonces será
difícil a leer esta carta, les amo

Trabajamos como Negros (working like slaves) yes he knows!

I'm not sure why that phrase is going around the mission because its deffenitly very racist but well.... What can you do. we really are working like blacks haha. We had a pretty good week this week. Started it all off tuesday with zone conference with the Pres. So that was fun. Really enjoyed it, even though after awhile you feel like youve heard it all a million times, each time though you learn something new. So thats nice. It was good to see the zone there, they all looked really excited and are doing alot better this week. After that the Assitents went with us for the day. To bad that we didn't hve anything to do. We just had more meetings, we had one with our ward mission leader and then in the night we had one with the stake President and the Mission President. It was pretty fun actually, it went really well. I really enjoy this stake Pres. he works hard and wants to help out the missionaries. He is also realistic and knows that we arent perfect and neither are his members. Alot of stake pres, wont except that their members arent doing it all right. If you want to progress you have to be humble and well he is so thats nice to see. We made some new lists for the zone my comp and me. Well more my comp but I was there as support, my handwriting is just getting worse, so I don't write the important things. the President in the last meeting asked if I was writing in English or Spanish cuz he could'nt recognize either in my writing. And told me its a good thing that I'm going to be a doctor haha. then in the zone conference he picked up my binder and read my lesson plan to everyone... haha, the lesson plan was good but it was funny to watch him try to dicifer what I had written. I've actually been trying to get better, I switched back to cursive for awhile when amonth ago the Pres said something but Its just getting worse..

Anyways back to the story on hand. We made some lists for the lessons we have taught to the ward counsil and also to the 50 less active referals that the ward has given us (or needs to give us, thats the new mission plan is to work through this list of 50 less actives the ward picks for us to go with) And well the Stake Pres. liked it but the Pres loved it haha. we made our whole zone do it. And well now the Pres is making the whole mission use it haha. It was pretty funny. Last night we had a video conference with the zone leaders and the President showed it to everyone and said I had done it haha. my comp was pretty mad, the pres. didn't even mention his name. (I latter clarified the error ) but it was pretty funny.

 Thursday we had another training for the new district leaders that came in. It went well. The week was full of alot of training but in the days we had open we worked hard. We picked up 20 new investigators this week. And had 40 lessons so we are doin alright.

Mom just wrote me about Hudson. well its better then the names I've seen down here. There is alot of mary joseph and mary jesus Also nicknames for Jesus, Chuy. which makes him sound like a character from star wars but this week I found two new people that just crossed the line alittle bit. these are both members kids names..... Elohim and Cain (spelled Cayn). I'm not sure but that just seems wrong to me to put that as my kids names. Its like calling my kid God. Then again the name Joshua is also from the Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshu'a) meaning "YAHWEH is salvation". The name Jesus comes from a Greek translation  (Yeshu'a), So alot of names have meanings like that but Elohim.... really thats just to far

Anyways, the week has gone really well. I've enjoyed my new comp. He is a funny guy. we have been wroking hard. And loving life. We also have been eating pretty good. For the most part. we ate Menudo the other day which is cow intestine. You can feel the little hairs that push the poop out with your tongue and I'm not huge for it. It takes like 2 hours just to scrub the meet, because you have to get out all the mucus that is in the skin if not your whole soup smells and tastes like crap.... literally. But it was cleaned well. We ate that with pig hooves which is like chewing gum. but with pig hair in it.... Other then that though its been good.

 Ohh my comp doesnt' know how to ride a bike, the other day we were passing by the university and he ran straight into a fat chick haha. it was super sweet. I was deing laughing. He hit her right between her legs and she mounted his bike haha. it was hilarous. Since then I have been calling him Comalito ( Solo caliente las gorditas) the transaltion for that in english is hard but well Comal is the flat iron that you heat up tortillas on or also a bread type thing called a gordita. its like a stuffed piece of bread. So basically the name means that he gets the fat chicks going haha. if that made sense. In chile they don't even eat tortillas so Collin proly wont understand eatiher.

I love you all super tons, and hope the best for you all

    Peace, Love, and Its getting super hot here. 90 degrees this week.

God sends us where we need to be.

Alright, Elder Llanes and me are working hard in this area, We've had alot of fun so far. And well had some results. It was pretty fun this week, I decided to change up my stratagy with the zone, before I just joked with them and had my laughs with them, tried to just live with them and have fun. Well we had no success. So almost everyone from the zone got transfered out and well I switch to Hitler mode, and I'm going to brainwash them all and see if we get any results out of that. I've been pretty rough on them so far, in a lovingish manner, but Im just not tolerating anything and Im hoping that they understand that they better stop goofing off and get to work, be obedient and love the Lord. Atleast thats what I'm hoping for. We will see if it all works out or not.

   As for my wounds they are doing fine, its not an ingrown toenail that starts at the front, it starts at the root and thats why it hurts. But I fixed it and its all good. Don't worry mommy I've got alchol and Iodine in the house that I use, I'm not super worried about any wort of infecion. As for the rest of Im good, we eat alot here and I'm sitting at 182 pounds so well Hmmm I may be getting alittle fat. But I'll get rid of it all here with the heat, so I can be back on the hunt when I get home in well, A LONG TIME but what ever, I've been working out and I made a new bench to lift on in my house, So i can get in some dumbell presses and stuff in. I'm enjoying it.

    This week we did some super cleaning on the house. Im broke after spending 40 bucks on cleaning supplies... The mission will reemburse me, just I've got to wait awhile. But the house is looking better, exept for the fact that we still don't have hot water the boiler is still broken and I haven't found a place to buy the parts I need. and I'm not about to spend 60 bucks for some person to come and do it.... and probably do it wrong haha. I love that part about Mexico.... haha, Actually that watch that got sent to the house. Its cuz some mexican tried putting a battery in it and broke it.... Its cool, thank goodness american companies are way cool.

    We headed for tijuana on Thursday which was fun. Its a three hour bus drive and we get to pass alot of really cool mountains, they are actually super pretty mountains. Pure rock but its super cool. We watched War Horse going there haha. My comp asked the driver if he could put on Batman and then some old lady asked not to put on a violent movie haha. Coming back the driver gave my comp the control to pick the movie and he picked the worst movie I have ever seen... Ghost rider 2, the first one was terrible and the second one was even worse. The Training went well though, all stuff that they have said before but Its fun to be there some times. We sleep like 18 Elders in a house so that part is sweet, we don't aton of sleep. But its nice, then the next day we wake up early to have a 6 hour training haha. Its super hard to listen but, thats just part of life I guess. I hate sleeping in something that isnt my bed by the way and I really don't sleep well when we go there.

 Today we cleaned the house again and then went to the stake center. WE watched a movie (monsters inc.) played soccer and ate pizza. Its turned out pretty good. I think we are going to try to go to the museum here one of these weeks. I just don't want to play soccer again in the heat haha. Its getting pretty hot. Oh we are also looking to change houses, Its not that easy to find a new place to live. Everything is super cheap yet super expensive for my price range right now. I'm going to find a new house though, that is my mission for this week. We found one cool one, but seeing as our neighbor there would be a very attactive girl that hardly wears any clothes, we decided... after much debate and sadness, to not move to that house...... Or maybe its the other way around. The house is super ugly and the girl is super attactive and well if the house wasn't so ugly I deff. would be living there by now ;)

   Sunday we had stake conference and it was super powerful we went tothe two sessions( the stake doesn't fit in one session.... even though there isn't that many people) The Mission Pres. talked and so did Elder Gonzalez of the 70. I was super spititual and def. brought tears to my eyes multiple times. Elder Gonzalez shared alot of stories he talked about how his grandpa had been an example for him paying his tithing. And how if we pay tithing the land will be fertile, our jobs will be stable, the doors of heaven will be opened unto us and blessing will be showered upon us. They lived in a small ranch in Hidalgo a desert, arid climate. There was no drinkable water for 1 mile and they had to go and carry it back everyday. His Grandpa built a rain catcher for the little rain that falls each year. They used the water to drink, eat, water plants, wash dishes. Everything. As they used it it never ran out. There was always more. His grandpa planted small trees there. They soon became gaint, Fruits, Mangos, bananas, all things that don't grow in that climate were in his yard. They had the only plantable soil in the town. No one else could grow anything, and there house was completly green with foleoge....hmmmm thats not right...... They had hens and his grandpa asked him to count all the eggs and the end of each week and mark every 10 eggs with a piece of charcol. Then sunday he would bring the marked eggs tothe church to give to everyone, His neighbors hens produced 1 egg every day or every 2 days, his hens produced 2 eggs every day. The Blessing of the lord were surely showered upon him... I know that as we pay our tithing we aer blessed, when the times are hard and it seems as though we just can't, to pay our tithing is what will change the times, it is the trail of our faith, our obedience, and our love for God. Its is what seperates those that truely love God and those that love him because its convenient.

He also told a story about a man that was called to be a missionary from Japan in the time of ..... Not sure anymore Heber Grant I think. He was called to go to brasil on his mission. He said he couldn't do it. He couldn't learn the language. He didn't want to go and tried to say no, the pres. of the church spoke with him and said that he knew he had his own purpose there in Brasil and needed to go. The man learned the language quickly and served a succesful mission. Right before he came home he was walking when a japanese man came up to him and asked him if he spoke Japanese. Then he asked him what was if that he did. The missionary began to explain what he did, and his purpose for being there. The man broke down and began crying saying that he had been looking for someone to help him come unto God and teach him for along time. The man began to explain that He lived in a town of 60 Japanes people. He was the pastor of all of them, he knew alittle about God and taught the town what he knew. The man said he preached out of a book that had no cover it was a very old book and was tattered and torn. It had strange names, such as nefi and moroni. The missionary began to cry knowing that this was his purpose in Brasil. The missionary left baptising each and every member of that little town. Before he left the man came ot him and asked him to write his testimony in the final pages of his tattered book. The missionary took the book and respectfully opened it up to its ultimute pages. Seeing that the book had been dedicaded before he began to read the dedicion that was writted in japanese. As he finished reading he noticed 2 names one of the which was the name of his father.

God sends us where we need to be, he loves us and cares for us more then we can imagine. As we listen to God's will, he guides us and directs us if every aspect of our life. God has his ever powerful hand in everything, in the lives of everyone. I love you all, and pray for you often

Peace, Love, and do something good in the world today

Wow

Wow,

 Im supper tired. My comp left yesterday so Saturday I was up all night packing and last night I was up all night packing to. So well yeah.... Im super super tired. To start, if a watch shows up at the house... well put it in my closet and wait till I get home. Its another warrenty issue cuz it broke on me. But I'm going to buy myself a 10 dolar watch here. Also as far as my foot goes, my toe is fine... I'm a fetching proffesional don't worry about me haha. But it really would be sweet if my Uncle mike could not be so lazy.... please tell him that and could write me a step by step on how to correctly remove one of these stupid nails. To be honest mom, Im more afraid of staff infection going to a doctors then doing it myself. There offices are just there home. They do surgery honestly in the bedroom. Its messed up. And they wash there tools by hand... so not sterile. Whatever. I'll never come back here so its no big deal.

   we baptised 2 this week. I was super excited It was way cool. The family of Alison (the wife of our convert) are super happy they are all members in Utah and she is kinda the black sheep. and The other person that got bap. was a little girl. Also really cool. The bap. went way well, and the spirit was super strong. Anyways we don't have much for the future just one person that wll maybe she could get bap. here in the next 2 weeks. Im sure hoping so. The Pres. did some major changes here in the zone. I'm with Elder LLanes now. haha he is a super champ. Love him to death. He really is a good elder and we will work hard together. so Im excited for that. They put 2 new sisters in my zone. I'll tell you next week how that is. I think one will be 19. I'm alittle scared to be honest with the whole 19 yr. old girls and guys. Especielly with some of the guys that are here. Bu I guess I can't do much about that can I.

   the week went well. Its starting to get pretty hot here. like 85ish. and I'm not really liking it. We are going to look for a new house because ours is terrible. hmmm other then that really life is super good. Ive been doing good. I've got a rash on my hind parts but I'm guessing it is just from sweat Or thats what I hope atleast. don't worry about my health I'll only be sick for another year. then my aunt deb can detox me and I can go back to slowly dieing in America... the land of the free.

    they are playing dubstep here in the internet and its making me way homesick and way excited to go skiing.

Anyways, I'm going to actually keep this letter short. cuz,,,, well there is no real reason. But well I love you all aton. Im super glad to be on the mission. and Im super glad that your my family.

Peace, Love and wow, I love my life.
