Hey Dad,
I'm glad to hear that you are having fun taking breaks on the simplest of tasks!! I do hope that you keep getting better and improve on your health/strength. Friday was pretty interesting for me. I currently don't even remember what happened, but I can write a letter telling you what happened that day. Saturday I don't remember either. Sunday was Fast and Testimony meeting and one of our districts was leaving and so they all bore their testimonies. For the Temple Walk on Sunday, I took pictures. With an Elder I nicknamed him Elder Broad Shoulders since he has the broadest shoulders ever!!! He's pretty amazing!!! Monday was pretty cool too!!! I was with yet another elder and he's pretty awesome!! At 9 pm when we were in the residence, he let me borrow his mustache (one that is awesome and you just stick on) and I got two pictures with it on!!! I can't wait until you see those!! Monday was pretty cool, and weird!!! At the TRC, instead of teaching, I was an investigator for two of the newish Elders and I gave them too hard of a time, but I didn't know I was supposed to be easy! Later that day my companions and I taught our "progressive investigator" named Carlos and I thought the lesson went really well!!! I already told you about later so yeah!!! Tuesday I had revelation I swear!!! I figured out a way to make the Plan of Salvation simpler!!! I wrote it all down in my Predicar mi Evangelio and yeah!!! My plan is that God wrote a "test" for each of us to take on earth. When we get to earth He gives us a pencil without an eraser and we take it and go through it and answer all of the questions or take the choices that we think are right. When we find out that an answer is wrong, Jesus Christ, provided an eraser for us called the Atonement so that we can fix our mistakes and yeah!!! I also wrote more, but I don't have time to type it up!! I'll have to take a picture of my PME and my scriptures so that you can see how much I've done. Tuesday we also had Elder Kikuchi come and talk to us and it was really funny!! He started off my saying, "I eat a lot of rice, I eat a lot of fish, and I came out short." Hahahaha. Well, I'd better get going. How's everyone doing? How's my bed? Is it surviving through my brother?

¡Hola mamá!
This week has been just like any other really. Wednesday of last week (or the last Wednesday of the month of May) we got new Elders and that was pretty fun! Thursday - Monday Hermano Bell one of our teachers left for a trip so we had a sub that whole time for him!! I really liked Hermano Johnson which was one of our subs and he was pretty fun!!! Sunday I went to choir with two of the new Elders which are called Elder Farnbach and Elder Cannon since no one else wanted to go with me. We sang a pretty cool song that I don't remember the name to. Then that night we had a pretty awesome night!! We didn't go watch a movie since we wanted to watch it in Spanish and it was completely full so we went back to the classroom and watched a lot of Mormon Messages and everyone except for my companions and I were crying. It was funny!!! Then Elder Brandon and Elder Rigsby bore their testimonies and it was really awesome because I felt the Spirit so strongly in there!!! I really loved it!!! Tuesday for the Devotional, we had Elder Packer, no, not the Elder Packer from the 12, but of the 70, came and spoke to us. When I saw who was coming, I just said to myself, "Elder Packer couldn't come so he sent his son" and people around me started to laugh a bit. I didn't really mean it to be funny, but whatever. Then yesterday was pretty interesting as well. Okay, so when my companions, Elder Ferrill, Elder Mockler and I were going back to the room, and got to the door of the building, I reached in to get my card, and it wasn't there. The buildings have a little thing to swipe your card to get in. I then looked at my companions, and they both said that they didn't have their cards. It was pretty funny, we were locked out of our own building! It was a huge fail!!! Oh well, we went to the other side and the door was open since our building is dumb and the doors stay open because of the wind that is coming out of the building.
Today I did a session at the Temple and yeah!!
Oh, one other thing. You'd be surprised how much time I have to read your emails. You can send as many as you want, as long as you want. We can print them out and I can type this reply on something that doesn't time me, so yeah.
Oh yeah, another thing. I'm sending Giselle's reply today or tomorrow and there will be my camera card as well as a sheet of paper or two telling you what pictures are which at the MTC. There are a few before them, but it's okay. I started numbering them from the first one at the MTC, or after shaving dad's hair off. I hope you enjoy them and post them on my blog!!!! Not all of them, but just a few. You should post some of my District pictures as well as pictures with me in them and of my tag and the intensity of them!!! You should definitely post Chalk book on there!!! I hope you like them!!!
How are things at home? How's my brother doing with his money? What has he bought?
I'm sending pictures so yeah! I'm glad to hear that dad is doing better! Is his hair growing? I hope you people have fun in rainy Illinois while I have fun in Sunny Provo!!! =) Take care and I'll talk to you soon! Love you all!!!!
