How goes it?? Don't worry about last week! I was plenty entertained by dads email, they are always funny. This week has been a really good week. I am still trying to adjust, but I just need to relax, and focus on the positive things that are going on. We are working our butts off out here. We have more to do than we even have time for, but we keep working hard and doing our best. This week Jasty is getting baptized. He is so prepared, and he is so excited. I can't wait for that day. We are also teaching a man named Manuel who is on a baptism date. He is really awesome. To get to his house, we have to walk about a half mile up a hill that is about as steep and slippery as a ski slope. So by the time we get there, we definitely make our lessons meaningful and worthwhile! I am enjoying the work though. There are hard days, but I learn from them. As for the language, I am starting to recognize more and more of what people are saying. I feel like I am starting to have basic conversations with people, which is a huge blessing. I am just trying to learn all that I can, as fast as I can. I will learn the language, it is just going to take a little time! I just can't wait to be able to communicate with people. I can't believe that grandma and grandpa sent all of that stuff. They are so good to me. please don't overdue it though, I really don't want people to spend too much money on me. I really enjoyed dads last email. I literally laughed all of the way through it. Jay is such a cute kid. I miss him so much! Please tell him that I say hi:) Kaden, I miss you bro. I seriously love you so much. I have been thinking about you a lot this week. I hope you know how sorry I am for the jerk I have been in the past. Wen it all comes down to it. You ARE my best friend. Stay strong bud, and keep your chin up. Don't worry about other peoples opinions so much. You are a stud. You are the kid that everyone wishes they could be, that is why they treat you so badly. You are one of my hero's bud, and I talk about you all of the time. Stay strong, and keep playing your guitar. We have plenty of good memories to be made in the future! Mom, to answer some of your questions, our house does have walls, a toilet and a shower. It isn't like anything that you have seen in the states, but it is adequate for our needs. It is actually starting to grow on me a little bit. Sometimes we just have to laugh at the things that should bother us.. :) The rest of your questions are on the other email, so I forgot them... I will try to respond though if I have time. Oh by the way, I guess I am only allowed to email family. so anyone else who wants to write will have to communicate through letters.. It stinks, but that is my only choice! So please spread the word! Also, tell Matt that I have been thinking about our old Cricket stories... Good times... I miss him and Cody! Tell Grasshopper hi for me. Mom, Dad, and my dear brothers, I seriously love all of you so much! I miss you, and I think about you every day. I have the coolest brothers in the world, and I couldn't ask for better parents. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me, and please remember that I love you all. Thank you for my emails, and please keep me updated. Tell Ryan's Grandma hey! She cracks me up... I love you all! Stay strong, work hard, and live like you mean it!
Love your son, brother, and friend
