Dad! I certainly miss putting away Christmas boxes and scooping Rudy's Results in the yard, but I'll survive without it! Send me a picture or two of the auto show if you all go! I played some pingpong today for pday . . man I miss that! I even got the sweat going! I also talked english with the Elders and Sister from my group that are in my zone... miss that too! About the ice on the drive way... dont remeber the last time I saw ice! haha thanks for the sweet article on Paul Millsap and the brasil stats! I ALWAYS knew Paul was the man! I called it from the start : ) Our new Jerseys are SWEET! are they not? I would like to let all of you know that Dad sent me a picture of the new AWESOME corvette with a little sticky that said "sorry I couldn't resist! .. Is that not AWESOME!?" haha it went in my picture journal of the mission. ... I still love corvettes! Hey Dad, do you remember when I passed a guy on the street on a no pass zone and hey followed me until I stopped?....Then hey called you and told you that I was lucky that he didn't "beat me to a bloody pulp"...? Remembered that this week. haha good stuff! He was a skinny cross country runner! punk. ; )
Havent found cookie ingredients yet but I am looking! I got another package and some letters from the ward,friends as well. You just dont want me to loose weight with these packages! We have LOVED the dried mangos, oreos...WOW... oreos haha YUM. And doritoes...everything. . .

ALL-
NOTICE: LDS church building is robbed for the fourth time! They robbed our church building this week again.... someone. Bent bars, Broken glass, missing amplifier, blood on the curtains... the whole sha-bang. I know it is sad and frustrating! But I have to just not thinking about it so I don't lose the spirit haha seriously.
I saw my first really big spider this week. . . like the size of the one from Home Alone... yeah, you all know which one. It went like this. We were walking on the street singing and I went to breathe in and swallowed a mosquito...I bent over to couch him out, and in front of my face on the ground was that HUGe spider. . . WAHOU! My comp killed him.. sad but whatever. We also saw a frog the size of a normal football... it had already been taken care of my a truck : S
Spiritual Update - Status - HIGH. : ) We had two baptism this week... thank you all for your prayers for the missionaries! Napoleon and Diego were both baptized this week. I baptized the skinnier one. He was super scared but it worked out alright! Cool experience. We looked at the font when we got to the chapel and saw that it was super dirty even though we had cleaned it the day before...we were worried, but RIGHT before the baptism when we showed it to Diego and Napoleon they didn't even hestitate...'doesn't matter to me!' . Our mission president always tells us that it is NOT easy to be a member of this church. We have to find those who are WILLING to live the commandment of God and to change what needs to be changed. Both of these young men were JUSt that. We had to go through a process of fallen appointments and a bit of walking, organizing family nights and lots of prayer, but both of them were 100 percent willing to change what needed to be changed. From drinking Coffee EVERYDAY of their lives, to never doing it again. From going to the Fair evey sunday, to never buying on sunday again. It is true, and people (that are ready) feel it when they hear it! We are going to work with Napoleon's family now. I believe they will soon follow : ) If not, it will be in the future.
COOL FACT- both of these young men could leave on missions while I am still in the field!
Much love to all!
If you have written me... there will be a letter coming back!

PS someone tell Clark Kerswell to tell me what is up ... and don't you all assume that the others are going to do it!
