Hey Mom
Well its about time you admit you've officially lost it, ive been telling you that for about 5 years now. But don't worry about the package, i absolutely loved the package and in all honesty i found something better to wash my face with that works very well and is easier to get, but i could use some pants a ton. If you could just send me one or two pairs that i don't need to use with a suit i would appreciate it a ton. Its a shame that MR MAc doesn't have the pants i bought, i will just save the pair i have for sundays and use some other ones for the week. If you could just send me some 34-36s i would appreciate it very much. I am getting a little fat but its all good so oh well.
Anyway this week went pretty well, we found a few really cool new investigators and had a bunch of people at church, our baptisms didn't go through but one of them will be this saturday and the other ran into an unexpected problem, but hopefully it will be resolved. The one that is going to get baptized is a part member family named Cecilio C., and all of his family has been members for a long time, but he had always ignored the missionaries, until recently he got caught by the Coyotes in Mexico trying to come over and so they imprisioned him and pretty much starved him and beat him almost to death until his family could come up with the 2 thousand dollars to get him here, so he kind of got a reality check and realized a few things. So a really interesting story there. But he is ready to get baptized, he just needed some more time to get an answer. The other is an older guy named Antonio who loves everything we teach him and even had a way cool experience fasting and finding work, but he just thinks that he needs to know more before he is baptized. I am not sure how much time that means but we will see.
So thats about all that is going on, but i am very glad to hear about how life is going back home and i was very glad to get the pictures that you sent me and i loved them. THanks as always for the tyson stories, they always make me laugh. Well I got to go but i hope that everything is going well with all of you and i hope you know that i love you guys very much and have a great week.

New Pants Please!
Hey Mother
Well i must admit it was a little dissappointing to get a letter from Lake Powell but i recovered and i was greatful that at least i got a letter, pretty much everyone else has forgotten about me, so it was good to hear what is going on at home and that everyone is having a good time. Life is going well here, our two baptisms for this saturday are still looking good, but we will see what happens as always, life is a bit crazy. The weather is starting to cool down a bit and so that is good. I actually was wondering if you could do something for me, i was biking and ate it again and ripped my suit pants and i was wondering if there was a way that you could get me another pair. If i could send you the fabric and you could talk to the store and get them sent for me, if you could that would be great, but if not i will survive. Other than that not much is going on, the work is still going and we continue to find new people and to get rid of old ones that aren't doing anything, we just need to find the ones that can help the ward instead of being a hinderence. So we are looking and i hope that we can find them soon. We had interviews with president on Wednesday and they went pretty well. I am doing good but he said i need to work on being more optomistic and quit being a realist, because miracles dont take place if you aren't looking and expecting them, so i am working on trying to talk to people that have turned me down in the past and hoping that maybe they changed or moved or something good happens. So thats about all that is going on. We are doing well and life is good. I am excited to be here and the time is going a bit too fast but life goes on. I am very glad to hear that you guys had a good time at lake powell and i am excited to recieve some pictures and to see how it was. Well we don't have much time and tell dad i am sorry that i didn't get a chance to write him but i will next week, tell everyone that i love them very much and hope for the best for you all

Hot and Sweaty
Hey Mom
Yep its hot and sweaty all the time, its honesty a miracle that anyone lets two sweaty teenagers into their house. Life is going alright, just a ton of walking around and talking to anyone we can find. Its getting pretty difficult but i have just accepted that it is never easy but you just keep going and hoping for a miracle. My new roomates are very cool and enjoyable to be around so that is a blessing for sure. I am glad to hear that for the most part you are all having an enjoyable summer and that your fourth of July was good. Ours was pretty good we went over to the bishop of the english ward and ate some amazing food and talked with his family and played ping pong. So that was good and then we were shut in the apartment from 7 and on, so we just relaxed and talked and then went to bed early. I am very glad to hear that alyssa is enjoying her class or whatever it is and that breanne is also doing well. I hope that they are still enjoying themselves a little bit. I am glad tyson changed from wanting to shoot people to wanting to help them, that is always progress. I hope Jace doesn't return like i did a few times from scout camp. tell him hi for me when he gets home. Tell Tyson that i miss him very much and that i love him very much. I miss all of you very much. I was so happy to hear that uncle Sid is in the young men and is happy. He has had it very hard but i am so glad to hear that he is doing well. Wish him the best for me. Well i have to go but i love you all very much and hope the best for all of you
