Headaches??

wasssssssssuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppp???????????????

 

     Bueno. Sometimes I get headaches on saturday and I have to stay home and drink waters and eat pills. 0 fun. BUT I´M BETTER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought you all some super cool stuff with all that money you´re putting on my account!!!! You´re gonna like it so much!!!! I´m doing a lot better at getting along with my silly little companion haha. He loves to tell jokes and so i have been thinking of all the funny jokes i´ve heard and translating them into spanish so we can both laugh haha. While I was sick he sat right next to me and talked to me and took care of me and he told me a few stories and then I told him my own version of hansel and gretel, but in the end they all get baptized as a family and live happily ever after haha. We don´t have any problems, but I don´t think I will be with him much longer because the change is ending and I think that Presidente is going to send me a new zone leader to train.

     Things sound like they are going just great at home!!!! That´s super exciting!!! I can´t believe it´s already august 27th. I´m just trying to forget about the date and focus in on what I´m doing. It´s so little time, but it´s enough. I´m very very very nervous about coming home, but I´m just workin and baptizin like I know I should haha. I do have like 2 favors to ask you, though. When my really good friend elder Anderson got home, his mom cooked him a few of his favorite things to eat and I just had a few requests to make, but I will tell you all that when I´m actually closer because I still have like 3 months left- august, september, and october. 3 full months at least.

    Well I love you all a whole bunch! I will write you next week to tell you all about the changes!!!!

Something very very strange is happening!

Tcheammmmmmmmmmsssiiieiiiissss

sssssssmmmmmammmmyyyyyyyyeyee!!!!

     Hey there! I´m just still here in Lima, Perú!!!! Just still
having lots of fun with all my best friends! Something very very
strange is happening. We are working SO HARD! But we have not had 1
baptism in all of August!!!!!! My head just can´t understand how to
live a week without baptizing or planning baptisms. So weird. The
truth is that we have 3 families who are progressing toward baptism,
but their silly marriage papers are worse than 6 or 4
nightmares!!!!!!!!!! There are some other people we are teaching and
we found A LOT of new people to teach this week so things should start
to go a lot better. Wow. We decided as a companionship that we were
going to work on diligence this week and almost every appointment we
had fell through hahahahahahahaha. God answers prayers the hard way
sometimes. So we just had to lift our heads up and go to work. We
worked really really hard and we had great results. We are looking at
2 families and 3 other people who should be ready for september!!!!!
And 2 more families who should be ready for october!!! God gave us so
many opportunities to work on diligence this week and I feel like we
did a good job at being extrememly diligent!
     Things with my companion are going just super great. Our
personalities are just complete opposites, but we are getting to know
eachother more and we are getting along a lot better. He´s just silly.
But he´s a really good missionary and we have the potential to work
very very well together.
     Tell Branson, Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11 is so
old!! How old is Jason now? I´m glad Josh is counting down the days I
have left because I have NO IDEA!!! I just figure I still have 2 years
left haha. That´s way cool that Jer got home after being gone for so
long!!! He stole all my thunder!!! You wasted the good surprise on
him!!!!! Haha jk, Jer, you´re the man. Ummmm.... I thought Papa Bear
whas alrheady whay murried. Whhen izzy getting murried?? I hope I am
home when he gets murried so we can dance and eat cake together and do
other wedding things, idk. Tell him congrats on his milk man job. I
live in the apartment with just my companion, there aren´t any other
missionaries there and it gets kinda lonely sometimes. Ima have to
have a super big family like ours so that I never get whay bored haha.
    So we were asked to speak on sunday in sacrament meeting and I
decided to talk about....... YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a part
in the pamphlet of the first lesson that says that one of the best
places to learn and practice the gospel is in the family, so I shared
with the entire congregation what we do to practice the gospel in our
family! I talked about Emett Family Fun Time, dinner at 6, family
scripture study, interviews, blessings, responsibilities (cleaning the
kitchen), and family council! Everybody loved it haha. Like 10 people
came up to me after the talk and told me how much they wanted to meet
my family and how they wanted to try all the things we do. There was
one sweet little old lady who got so stoked that she came running over
to me after the meeting and grabbed both of my hands and told me how
good of a father I was going to be and how much she admired me and my
family and how she was going to share everything the Emett family does
with her family and try to be even happier. Another guy came up and
asked me if I could make him a calendar that explains exactly what we
do every week so that he could start doing it and have a better
relationship with his wife haha. I love talking about you guys. I have
the best family in the world. I didn´t realize before the mission, but
I do now. I´m not extremely smart, handsome, cool, tall, or stylish,
but I do have the best family I have ever met. Thanks mom and dad. I
miss you guys!!!!! Seeya in 2 years!!!

Still in love with the Book of Mormon

 The famlyyyeeeui.

      So...... I tried to send you some pictures from my brifday pizza, but my camera decided that it would be funner to just not work. so...... I guess I can show you my brifday pizza pictures when my camera decides to work (14 years) or when I get back from Preu (2 months). Holy wow. Thanks for all the bday wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to tell as few people as possible that it was my birthday, but somehow we ended up with a pizza, 2 bottles of soda, and 2 pieces of cake each hahaha. 

     My companion´s name is Elder Vasquez. He is from Guatemala. He is short and brown haha, he looks like a Bolivian. He´s a silly little guy. He always wants me to tell him what I´m thinking and feeling and I´m always just like ¨what!????¨ I grew up in a house with 8 brothers! I´m just not that into talking with dudes about my feelings hahahahahaha, but we get along. He is just a little stinker. 

     This week, Elder Torres, from the seventy is coming to the mission to do a conference and I´´m siked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´´m still in love with the book of mormon and Im studying it more than ever. We taught a lot of lessons last week and I feel like I am a lot better at teaching than when I started the mission hahahaha. You are all gonna hate me cuz this is my shortest email ever, but I don´´t have whay a lot to say. I love you all a whole bunch!

     You told me you are gonna send 1 more package? Do it! could you send some m&ms? the plain chocolate ones? My companion loves them and I want to give him some! Send a lot! could you also send some gatorade powder drink packets or something like that? or some kind of vitamin water drink packets cuz i´´m tired of drinking just water and rice don´´t  got no vitamins and i thought it would be a good idea. idk. and next week, could you tell me how much $ is in my account? I found something really cool that I want to buy for the whole family and we are going to go next monday so just let me know how much $ is on the card porfa. And..... that´´s it! thanks for all the birthday wishes! I´´m scared out of my mind to come home!!! hahah love you!

Birthday wishes this week!

Dear The FAmmmmmooooooooollllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

     Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I´m turning 21!!! I´m like a dinosaur but sep for I´m still alive!!!! What a relief!! Yesterday was such a good week!!!! It is NOT EASY coming to a new area after being in another area for almost 10 months, especially when the new area is over 700 miles away and it´s a different geographical region. But........... I´m doing much better!!!!!!!!! I´m super used to the cold weather now. My companion and I are BEST FRIENDS, and we are just focusing in on the work and we are going to baptize 2 more families this month!!! And we found another family last night that will get  baptized in September!!!!!!!! So don´t worry about me, family, I am still stoked!!! Wow! Thanks for having a birthday party without me ya silly brains!!!!!! I hope you saved a little bit of that cake cuz it sure did look good!! Thanks so much for the pictures! Everybody has grown up so much BUT MOSTLY JUST BECCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think she is big enough to be in hike school!!!! What happened!? Every time I get a cute little letter from her I still just see this tiny little girl who used to sit on my lap and say ridiculous things, but now I think I will have to tell her my mission stories while I sit on HER lap!!! que bien.

     I was talking to my pension´s husband this morning and he was asking me all kinds of things about my family, especially my parents. I told him that we did foster care for a few years and that we ended up adopting 2 kids, one from the navajo tribe, and that dad is the special needs mutual leader and mom is the lady-what-helps-out-that-other-ladies-what-had-that-problems-like-I-really-dont-understand-what-moms-calling-is-I-have-no-idea-what-its-called-but-i-know-it-has-a-really-long-name and he was super impressed. He said just from talking to me and being around me, he could tell that I have extremely good parents and a really good family. And..... I couldn´t agree more!!!!!!!!! You guys are the best!!!! I was going to send you all some pictures, but I really dont have that much time so I will just tell you that everything is going so good. I have loved every minute of my mission up to this point and I´m so excited to serve with all my heart, might, mind, and soul for these last 2 months. I can´t believe how fast these 22 months have gone by. Matt and Josh know exactly what I´m talking about. It will be very very hard for me to leave Perú. I love you all. Keep writing and STAY STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
