Should Have Posted 09/10

Family,

How is everything going? It is still going great here. Still working hard learning a lot and the spanish is coming to me even more. So it is thursday and yesterday was my p-day but it pretty much wasn't if you are wondering why you are getting an email from me on thursday. So yesterday we go do our normal thing in the morning, like go to the temple and personal study and what not. When we get back we usually go an email right then, me and my comp are trying to email and it just wouldn't let us in at all. It was pretty wierd so we were like ok we will come back. So we go get the mail cuz ya know my comp is the district leader but anyways we go get the mail and there is a not in it saying we needed to go the the travel office asap. So we did and they told us that we were going to salt lake city. So- we got of the rez!! Ha the reason we went there is because we went to the Mexican Consolate. So for sure we have our visas and stuff. So for sure we are going to Mexico! We also got fingerprinted and stuff but it also gave us a taste of what mexico is going to be like. This place was like a dump and so ghetto but it was ok cuz i'm excited to go to mexico anyways. But also there they spoke a lot of spanish and it was kind of a downer to listen cuz i didn't understand a whole lot of what they were saying. Ha but i still have 3 weeks to understand more so i will be fine.

It sounds like everything back at home is going great. With school and sports and work and all that it sounds like it is fun. But not as fun as learning about the gospel. I seriously have learned so much in these last 6 weeks. Like just things from the BOM or from chats when people ask us about life after death or stuff like that and i am just able to answer it and i wouldn't have been able to do that before coming out. It is amazing how much you can learn.
So Mountain Crest is tearin it up at football! that is good. it sounds like they will be good this year and might have a chance. Who does buda throw the ball to to have so many yards? I wish he was our quarterback when i was a senior that would have made the difference but oh well ya know.

It sounds like you guys had a fun time in park city except when katie brought that thing up. ha ha it just made me laugh cuz she always does that and i never would think that it was something i would miss but i do. I miss everyone.

I recieved the thing from all my friends. It was way cool to hear how they were doing. I emailed riley the last week but he just sent me a 15 word email back so yeah whatever. We don't have much time on these email things. But did you read it? Cuz if you did and you heard blake talk about the district and talk about jackie and how she is inactive now. When i read that i told my district and we all yelled NOOO for like 5 minutes it was pretty funny. But yeah it was cool to hear from them. I will be thinking of something to say or i will just tell how my week was for the next one. When are they doing it?

But yeah anyways...So you said something about kyle. And i feel like i should tell you this. I guess that before i left that lexie heard that he was dogging on me or something and so lexie texted him and yelled at him and told him he was stupid and not nice and stuff. But lex told me the other day that he is in one of her classes and i guess he text her after and was like apologizing to her about it and he asked for my address so that he could write me and stuff so i guess that will be interesting if he does. Just thought you should know that.

Did grandma and grandpa get my letter? i wrote them cuz they wrote me the other day so hopefully they got it. If they didn't, tell them that i wrote them just they didn't get it. But yeah i wish you were loaded as well dad, ha cuz my comp his dad is a doctor and he is loaded and one of our zone leaders grandma is loaded and yesterday he told us that he has 20000 in stocks. Yes 20,000 dollars. He said that for his birth he got 10 and for his graduation he got 10. Ha i was like dang i wish i had that in stocks right now but yeah it's alright i loved growing up just the way that we did. It has been a blessing in my life to have You and mom for parents. Really a blessing.
Yes it has been 6 weeks now, wow time flies by. I get my travel papers and stuff a week from today so i'm pretty excited. We have a district leaving this week on monday so yeah we are after them. Wahoo!

I have seen a lot of people that i know. But as you know bj is already out there, Boehme is already out there. Adam is already out there. Trapper crockett is here and i talk to him a lot. He went paintballing with us a lot so yeah i talk to him quite a bit. Other than that i haven't seen much people. Chase comes in on the 30th so i will just miss him. He will probably take my room or something. Ha that would be crazy.

This last week has been excellent. I don't really remember it a whole lot just because we do the same thing over and over but some things i remember. It flew by though.

Me and my comp taught a lot this week, but we teach in the TA every tuesday and this weeks was great. Our teacher is able to walk in and observe and give us feedback and she said that this week and the last week has been real different for us when we teach. She said that we are actually now teaching the investigator and not the lesson. It was awesome to hear that cuz that has been the toughest thing about it. So yeah there is one instance of how the spirit works.
Our district is way united and it is way fun. Me and Elder Rex are way good friends now and we have a ton of fun with each other and talk about a lot of stuff and help each other out. He has had a rough week this week just with spanish and missing his girlfriend but we talked and i helped him get through it. So yeah that will be friendship that will last after the mish as well as me and Elder Cope are way good friends as well. One funny thing about Elder Rex is that he wrote to elder Copes sister this last week and she wrote back and was very interested. It was way funny and we laughed about it for a while. But Cope didn't seem very happy but he really doen'st care we asked him about it.

So this last week, i might of got a stress fracture in my foot. It just started to hurt way bad and it has for a couple of days. If it continues to hurt i might go get it checked out but i don't think it is a big deal hopefully it goes away. Also i am starting to get a rash on my belly and arms. It has been there for about 3 weeks but now it is going away so that is good. Ha some crazy things have happened to my body while in here but yeah it will all work out great.

Not much more to report about my last week. I'm excited to leave and go to mexico and do the real work. Spanish is coming a long and it is going great i just have had faith.

But yeah if you could, even though i hate asking you guys for stuff, could you send me some more of that gel i am almost out or maybe two things of it. And also my pills if you want cuz i don't know how good the mail is down in mexico. My comps mom is going to find out cuz he has a friend down there right now so i will let you know how it is and stuff. Or you could even find out somehow.

Katie, Let her read this. Kate, i have heard some great stuff about volleyball and how you are tearing in up. Keep working hard and do whatever you can to get better. Don't worry about the older girls and how they talk crap cuz that is how they are. Just shut them up with your play on the court and keep tearin it up. I'm excited to watch you your junior year and senior year when i get back cuz you will be legit. Good work Sis!!

Dad do you forward this to drew, sky, and chel, and lex. If you could that would be sweet. Just an idea i think you might already do it.

I think that is it for this email. I love you all. Until next week.
