Week 12

Hello, my Family!

Anyways, let´s start off with the MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS!!!!!

HHHHHHAAAAAAAPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY BBBBBBIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHDDDDDDDAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha! Rachael. Happy Birthday. The 28th of October. Sorry, can´t email that day, so this´ll have to do. 17! Haha. That´s about as far back as I can remember in my life. Congratulations. Tell me how it goes this week ok?? I sure do hope it´s all awesome for you. You´re going to be WAYYY grown up by the time I get home!

Ashley. I beleive you have a birthday coming up too. The 3rd of November, if I haven´t forgotten everything yet. That big happy birthday is for you too. Let me guess..... Harry Potter party????!!!! Haha, whatever it is, it´s your first of jr. high, which means it´s important. Ashley, jr. high was when Garrett and Caleb and Mckay started hanging out. 7th grade, we´d ride the bus home to caleb´s to make waffles. Live it up!!!!! Almost all of my friends I have now I didn´t find till Jr. High. Don´t be afraid to meet some new people! Find some bus buddies. Call mom first though.

Dad, I got all of your letters that you had sent while I was in the MTC. Thanks for sending them. I think I took too much time reading them, this letter´s going to be a little short! Haha, it really is sooooo good to just hear how regular life is going back home. Dad, you realize, but I never did, regular life at home is a blessing. An incredible blessing. To have a family that eats sunday dinner together, who talks to eachother, who plays, and laughs, and sings together. To have a family who has a mom and a dad both, who love eachother, and their kids. It´s SSSSSOOOOOOO hard to find. It´s sooo important. Haha, I´m so grateful for you all. To hear that you´re singing around the piano, and having fun with the special plate. That´s what life´s about. One of the quorom of the 12 told the Temple president of the Asuncion Temple, when he was a stake president, to stop devoting all of his time to being a stake president, and to first devote his time to his family. Because his stake wasn´t going to be a stake after this life. But his family would be a family. Way sweet.

Haha.... well, that´s what I think he said. I was translating..... 90 percent sure though.

Speaking of which. I got to go to the temple today!!! President Udall from Mesa, Arizona was there. He´s the president of the temple. He says to tell Grandpa Hi. They know eachother from the Maricopa Stake. Temple was INCREDIBLE. Really neat. We get to go once every six months.

My p day was switched to today. That´s why i`m emailing today. Also, I figured out how to send mail. Sorry. I didn´t mail anything to you, my family. But you´ll get pictures!!! Just count your blessings, would you??

Life Lessons I´ve learned during my three weeks on my mission....

1. Don´t buy the Cheap Brand of Paraguay cereal. Cheap brand of U.S. food is one thing, but.....

I´d rather eat well, and spend like 60 cents more, than have a bunch of food left over because it tastes like wads of colored paper. Literally.

Time´s out. ç

Love you!

More life lessons to come!!1ç

AHHH!!!! We baptised Werner last week, and we´re baptising Mario this week. I´ll tell you about the work next week. Love you!
