** Dearelder.com the address so I have them, the clock ticks fast and I dont have time to write them down.

Also keep Elder Thomson and his fam in your prayers, turns out he needed to clear some stuff up before he can return to the field. His older bro returned early from his mish the day before, so 2 missionaries sent home early right next to each other, I bet its hard. THanks fam.

Also keep the Hales Family in your prayers, CLayton and Russell Hales got in an critical car accident. Please find out more and get back to me with details, thanks

Hey Jeff, brick wall is actaully "muralla de ladrillo"... and yes its great... haha

Em- i want to see some pics of the apartment, i heard it was dope. Also go up to

Sam's and get my ipod back, dont send it to me yet! just hold onto it until i get more organized, ill let you know.

Dad- send some pics for my scriptures of me and you golfing or something, i need something. look through my iphoto on my laptop. maybe something like fishing too. and thanks for the advice dad!

Also I want a family picture that fits in my scriptures, like the one in our fam room, gracias

Ray - THanks for the letter, for real. It makes me stoked to hear stuff like that from you guys and humbles me to realize how blessed i am. your like a bro to me, Thanks Ray KIA KAHA

Questions:

1. Did you receive the package on Monday with the t-shirts etc.? I didn't have your MTC mailbox--did your friends like the cookies yesterday?

Yes, thank you!

2. What about the plaque scripture

ill think of a new one, lo siento

3. Did Sam come on Wed?--how is his leg?

no... he didnt. my guilt is back. Apparently he is stoked because now he can see Harry Potter 7 part 2 and midnight... haha. But ill see him in 6 weeks and give him a big hug!

4. Have you heard from Paige? Is dearelder just for family or can she write to it?

Yes :) and anyone can

5. Can you give us a sample schedule of a typical day? How cool that you were there with mission presidents going out--Did you see Larry Gelwix?

i dont have time haha. but basically just study, breakfast, study, lunch, study, dinner, study, gym, then study, then planning, then an hour before bed. I saw and talked to Gelwix!! it was cool! he said he was going to call TJ right after, so im wondering if he did.

6. About how much money do we think Dewey will be giving you for your account. There isn't much in there. I paid off your credit card for the printer.....have you used it yet.?

no idea, i think kinda alot, but keep it for paying for my mish. also im curious is Tom Bunnell is gonnna end up paying me what he owes. is my debit card activated? and thanks for working on the liscense

7. What time of day will you get your 30 minutes to write--just to be sure we get our emails sent on time......?

depends, mostly around 1 or 2 before he head to the temple, but we have all morning off, it just depends. it would be safe to make sure its sent before 9 friday morning. also PLEASE dearelder them so i can read them before and not waste time, i hate that stupid clock that counts down, its nerve racking

So since Elder Thomson left, we have a 3 some; me, Elder Shipley and Elder Oborn. Oborns from Logan and hes going to MErida with me, Shipley, my first comp is going to puebla mexico.

ive seen all my friends that are here, it is really fun to see them and be here. it makes it feel like im not even serving a mission away from friends cause they are all here.

Thank YOU EVERYONE FOR THE COOKIES!! I've felt sooo much love from you guys. I've got enough cookies to feed armies, and thats good cause im feeding the army of my whole floor haha :)

But the vosens went quick... thanks mom and paige! haha those were all mine :) also mom, i have 2 unused groupons to vosens if someone wants to figure out my password, i have no idea what it is ha.

Real quick, i finally got a free few minutes to read the notes that you guys wrote about my setting apart blessing. they were awesome and thanks soo much TJ for thinking of that. it was great.

I am suppppppper tired ALL DAY! I used to count down the hours until bet.... "AH Elder, only 13 more hours to bed ..." :) haha. Nothing is better than when your head hits the pillow and your exhuasted because you know you gave it your best effort that day. I

It's great.

Also, send some tape! like the scotch tape, but like see through kinda that is really study, so not cheap kind, the expensive kind. they dont have the kind i want at the MTC store. Gracias

Well times down to a minute, I gotta go, soo sorry if I didn't answer your Q's. dear elder them again so i can be prepared

Love you Fam, Ill talk to you later!!!
