Hey Mom!!!
Well I didn't get an email from Emily. . .
Wow sounds like everyone is going to have some fun, ha ha!!!! (Matt, Cameron, and Jared went to the High Uintahs to hike into Red Castle and Kings Peak for a week) What car are they taking to Red Castle? (Johnny's Cherokee!!!)
Yeah, I am getting settled in and yesterday we found like three great families that we are going to be teaching!!!! This week we also did a mission plan for the ward cause it is really disorganized from other missionaries that have been here in the past and the unexcitement of the members. I'm way excited and hope that we can really turn this place around!!!!
Anyways that's just about it!!!

PS I was thinking about, maybe after my mission, going to Chile to visit like a bunch of my Companions because 5 of my 8 companions are from Chile and all live close to the same place. How much would a trip to and from Chile cost?. . . I have no Clue.

Hey Mom!!!!
Wow Ha Ha!!!
Don't worry I'm not going to get trunky. . . .all the missionaries in the zone are way awesome!!!!
My Comp is Elder Perez, he is from Peru but has lived in Chile since he was 9 years old so he is practically Chilean too!!!! We get along way good!!! i don't think the president could have picked a better pair of missionaries to be together. . . I'm not saying that we are all that, just that we get along perfect!!!
The area is super small like not even a third of my last area and the people are really cold. I haven't entered into one house this week but its okay---just keep on working!!! Oh yeah, and even the members are really cold. . . it was like no one cared that the other missionary had gone and I came!!!! Also, we had an investigator in church and it was like no one would sit next to her. . . We have a lot of work to do with the memebers here but its okay cause my last area we had to work with them too, So I'm Excited!!!
Anyways,
Love

Hey Mom!!!
Yeah really ita has gone by way too fast!!!
Sorry I didn't write yesterday, I got transferred to Zapala where I'm sure I'll be finshing the mission!!!! I am still a zone leader, just here in a new zone. I really am going to miss Caleta Olivia after 6 months there I really got to know the members, investigators and area really good. . . I hope some day I can go back!!!
Funny story. . . The grandma, Rosa, that we baptized. . . , Yeah, this Sunday, we told her that one of the members was going to go pick her up. And at 9:15, he still hadn't passed by and so she went walking!!! She got there without the member and we asked, "you came alone?" She replied, "yeah, it got to be 9:15 and I couldn't be late." Que capa!!!!

Hey Mom!!!
Yeah I guess I won't be seeing Matt for another two years . . .To come back home, I think, I will be going through the airport in Houston, Texas. It is one of the coolest airports I have seen--it is huge!!! Oh yeah, tell Matt to tell his boss that I will take his job when I get back, Ha ha !!!
We will be having a baptism this Saturday for Rosa Hernandez!!!! She is awesome. . . a grandma, 78 years old and since we gave her the Book of Mormon she had not missed a day reading. Even on Father's day when she had family over all day and night, at 2:30 in the morning, she went to her room and read and then said her prayer to go to sleep!!!!
The baptism dates that we had for the following week, we are going to have to change cause they didn't come to church this week but it is ok, they are going to be ready in no time. Also, we put a baptismal date with a kid that we are teaching who is 18 years old and is already sharing with his friends the Book of Mormon and restoration!!!! He will get baptised the 31 of July.
Anyways that's just about it. . . it is great to know that the horses are doing great and the kids too!!!
Did you give Matt the Suitcase for his birthday?
Have a great week
Love

Hey Mom!!!!
Ha Ha!!!! I was really hoping he (Matt) would get it (mission call). . . I was so excited to hear where he would be going!!! (have to wait another week!!!) Yeah that is fine if he uses the other suitcase just so you know depending on where he serves, it may get pretty abused. His birthday is today, if you want to give it to him as a birthday present from me ha ha!!! Oh yeah and speaking of Matt receiving his papers. . . I got some of my trunky papers this last week asking me what airport i would be returning to and if you guys are going to be there to pick me up. . .thinking about going home made me really nervous. . . . I don't know. . . It's going to be weird. . .
Wow you had quite the week!!!!
With Father's day on Sunday, on Monday everything was closed so I couldn't write but everything is going great!!!! We are going to have a baptism on the 3rd of July!!!
Anyways
