Hola Familia,
Hey everybody, how are things? Sounds like the week was very eventful for someone, wink wink, Lacey!! I can't believe how spoiled she is hahahaha. No looks like it was a crazy day. Be sure to tell Tracy Happy Birthday for me too. I couldn't get the video to work, we are in another crappy internet, the good one was closed today, I guess it is some Holiday here in Mexico, they look for anything to have a holiday here!!! So I will try to look at it next week!! I'm sure it's a pretty good vid.
Well I'm still waiting for the package. We got mail two weeks ago, and it wasn't there so hopefully I get it next week, if not it will be another month to wait. I can't believe that on Monday I will be leaving the teens hahaha man do I feel like an old fart!! Especially out here in the mission with my hair all short and what not and parted! All the Mexicans down here think that I'm 23 or 24 years old haha. I even had one lady think that I was 30 years old hahaha!!! Everyone here thinks I'm old haaha but back home before I left everyone told me I looked like I was 15 years old hahaha.
This week the work has slowed down a bit. We are struggling to find people to teach. We still have the new family that we are teaching. They all ended up making it to Church yesterday. So, I think that we will be able to baptize them this next Sunday for my birthday. They are really cool and excited about the Church. The wife has always been Catholic but has always had a bunch of doubts. Hopefully they accept for this Sunday if not we will have to wait until April. Other than them we didn't have anybody new in the Church, we had a few prospects but when we went to their house on Sunday they weren't there. Who knows what happened. But I have a feeling that this week we are gonna find a ton of new people.
Well the whole Japan things sounds pretty bad. I still haven't heard to much about it but I did here that all the missionaries were in a conference and nothing happened to them. They have sent all the missionaries home for now. That would be crazy!! I hope nothing like that happens here in Mexico, I want to serve my two full years!!
This week not much happened. We played soccer again today, the only thing I don't like is that we never ever play on grass!! It is always on concrete! But it's nice to get out and run around a little bit! Well I weighed myself this week and I have broke into the 160's I think I am 163 or something like that. I left the MTC at 158. It is hard to know your weight exactly because everything is in kilos here. The temperature here is also in Celcius. I never know what temp it really is. I only know that it is hot! The sun is a freaking beast!! Everyday we are out in the sun, and after Lunch it is hard to get back and work haha because you get really tired but ya gotta do it!!
Well that is all for this week!! Hope everything goes great for you guys! Tell Grandpa Spackman happy birthday for me too on Saturday!! Only 2 more months before we get to talk again on the phone!! Send me some pics of the fam or another video, I enjoy the videos. Well gotta go!! Love you guys

Hey Family,
How are things going back in Benson!? Sounds like everything is going good, it even sounds like the weather has warmed up a little bit. I hope everyone survives all the cake and ice cream this month. I'm glad Yoda is back to normal, that would have really been bad to lose him now haha. You guys should have taken a picture of him when he was all bloated up! I can't believe that Lacey is already taking her driving test, she definately doesn't know how to be drivin!! Haha Hope that she passes her test!
Well things here in the Misión México Este are going good still. We continue having lots of blessings from the Lord every day. This week we found another Family, the Family Delgado Briones. It is a family of 4, they have a daughter who is 8 and a son who is 6. They seem pretty interested, they've had a Book of Mormon for over 20 years, some cousin gave it to them or something, but they had never opened it. They went to Church yesterday and really liked it. The wife even put her name down to feed us next week haha. I'm pretty sure that they are going to progress and be baptized soon. We also found another Family that seemed really cool, but they didn't end up making it to Church, we gotta go see what their problem was. Hopefully they can go this next Sunday.
Well that is the update on the missionary work here in Azteca. On Sunday we confirmed the Solis Family, I confirmed the Dad and Elder Garcia the Mom and some other members did the kids. It was really cool, we did it at the end of Sacrament meeting, the whole family went in front of everyone and we did the confirmations. I hope that in a year they go to the Temple to be sealed, if they do I will get to go and be there with them! That would be dizope!!
Ya we heard about the earthquake in Japan, sounds pretty bad. Then they got hit again with the Tsunami! What else is happening in the World, what is Barack Obama up too? We don't here much as missionaries, especially missionaries in Mexico, I have no idea about what is going on back in the U.S.
Today we went and played soccer again with a bunch of missionaries. It was fun but now I am super tired, I'm not in shape at all. I'm breathin heavy just by goin up the stairs to the Subway!! Haha I don't like doing my exercise in the morning! It is too early, I always go to do crunches but fall asleep on the floor haha. Maybe I will come back from my mission really fat haha, I don't look to fat in my pics but I definately feel fatter. haha
That is crazy that the cows are already eating the grass out in the field! It must have really warmed up alot. Has Dad been able to pull out the Street bike yet? Hopefully it can stay that way, but I doubt it. There are always a few snowy days in April too. How is Odis doin? Is he still have blind and half deaf? Hahaha sometimes I think about all the stupid stuff he used to do and I just start to laugh! Haha
Well it's already March, that means that Sky View has their soccer team all ready. You'll have to let me know how they are doing this year. Sometimes I wish that I could play for Sky View again but nope I'm already too old to play. Oh well haha. How is Ethan doing in Italy? Actually, how is everyone doing in the mission from the Ward? I haven't heard from anybody except kayd, mason, and dillon. How is Layne doing in Alaska? I'm sure he is freezing to death haha.
Well I'm out of things to say. That is all for this week, nothing extraordinary happened. Hopefully I will have something exciting to tell you guys next Monday. Keep up the good work there in Benson, share the Gospel with everybody!!!! Gotta run, love you guys.

Hola Familia!!!!!!!!!
hey everybody what's up?? This week was super dizope here in the mission. We had a lot of blessing from The Lord. Things back at home also sound good, I'm glad everything is going good and normal.
This week, well we baptized The Family Solis!! Haha Yep the whole Family of five! It is the Dad and Mom the two daughters who are ages 14 and 12, and the son who is 9. It was awesome to baptize the whole family, I baptized the parents and my comp (my son) baptized the three kids. They were truly ready to receive the Gospel in their lives, they are gonna be great members. From the moment that we contacted them in the street we knew that they were golden!! Thanks for all of your prayers for them and everything this week! Everything turned out perfect, the picture looks pretty cool, Everybody in white haha. We had troubles finding all the white clothes for them.
Other than the baptisms, we didn't have to much success with new investigators in Church. We had one lady come, she is from Honduras but is kind of crazy! I don't think that she is all there in the head. When the Sacrament came around she got really freaked out and scared. She refused to take it and said she saw death and felt bad feelings!! So ya that is our wierd story of the week haha. I don't think she will want to come back next week haah.
This week we have also passed this homeless guy in the street almost everyday. But he too has mental problems. He thinks that he is in the Army or something, one day we seen him pass a couple kissing on the sidewalk and when he passed them he turned around and acted like he was pushing a button for a bomb or something that would explode on them or something, he even did all the noises with his mouth for the bomb! haha then another day when we passed he was in the middle of the street doing quarterturns and saluting the air! It was super wierd ahahaha. There are quite the people here in the City!
Well the story about Yoda was prettty funny. It won't be funny if he dies but right now it is pretty dang funny!!! When I read Dad's email I was laughing so hard here in the Internet Cafe that I had tears running down my face!!! Hahahaha I can just imagine his burp!!!! Haahaah I hope he is doing alot better now!!
Tomorrow is Transfers but they told us yesterday that me and my son will be together for another 6 weeks. Hopefully we will be able to repeat the cycle that we just had. We had 9 baptisms in 6 weeks! It was awesome, alot better than Pachuquilla haha. We are hoping to find more families like the Family Solis.
Well I already have plans for my birthday. We are going to see pyramids in Tiahucan. They are supposed to be huge!! And from what I have heard they have relacion with the Plan of Salvacion. I guess the biggest pyramid is of the sun, then the next is of the moon and their are others of the stars. It will be really cool. We are going to go with some members in the ward. I will take a bunch of pics.
Well that is all for this week. Tell everybody in the Fam hi for me. Everything is going good here in the mission. Take care!! Love you guys!!

Hola Familia,
hey everybody how are things going in Benson? Things here are going good still. This week we are in another crappy internet place the computer is slower than tar!! Oh the computers here are really bugging me you can't do anything that you want to do!!! The truth is is that my camera is not stolen I havent been robbed everything is fine I just can't load the stinking pictures because all the computers are crap.
This week we were able to have two baptisms, one of them is named Sandra and one of them was named Aldair. They were both young uns more or less. Sandra is 26 years old and Aldair is 20, they aren't related or anything. Their baptisms just happened to fall on the same day. The baptisms went really good, I baptized Sandra and Elder Garcia baptized Aldair. We once again had the Family Solis there in Church too, we are trying really hard to baptize them this next Sunday, I think that they are going to do it. If so we are going to have a really good cycle if not then we are going to have a mediocre cycle. So we need lots of prayers that they will accept their baptism for this Sunday.
Today we went to the "Centro" of Mexico, It's like Downtown, the busiest part. It is like a half hour away from our area. To get there we had to go on the Subway, it was super super packed you had to push your way in and then you couldn't even hardly move because it was so full of peeps!! It was pretty cool! There was a bunch of people though! We seen this giant Catholic Church that is really famous. I sent a picture, We even went inside it haha. There was people praying and what not, they even had little boxes with a Catholic Priest inside and when we passed by someone was confessing their sins to the Priest. It was crazy haha, but the Church itself was pretty amazing. I also bought me a pretty sweet Jersey today, it is of Brasil!
This week I also felt the Spirit a bunch!! We had a lot of lessons that were really powerful and strong. It is really cool to see how far my Spanish is coming too, I have to do most of the talking in the lessons. Everything went good this week! I am trying to get you guys a few letters mailed off but I swear the time goes faster here in the City, I hardly have time to write. Hopefully I will get them sent off this week. This week I also got letters from Grandma C and Dillon, it was good to hear from them.
We also had a meeting this week with President Hicken. It was a leadership training thing or something like that. It was really cool, President Hicken is super chill but he knows what he is talkin bout!! He always tells the stupidest jokes but I always think they are hilarious and am usually the only one laughing haha. I'm glad my mission President is chill.
All the snow sounds crazy!! What do the animals think about it all? It made me remember a few of the times that it snowed hard when I was still there. But there was nothing that Kandy couldn't handle! She always got me where I needed to go! Even to St. George, but that trip nearly killed er.
Well, we are writing this letter late again because we got back late from the Centro! But here is my short letter. Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm safe and enjoyin this area and this time here in the mish! Hope everything esta bien back home!! I'm sure everything is good! Let me know if anything exciting happens this week. Love you guys, thanks for all the support!! Gotta Run! Peace!

Hey family,
How is everyone this week? I hope that everyone had a good week. It is really hard to focus right now, the guy in the internet place is really ticking me off haha. First I wrote President a nice long letter about how our week went then the power went out right before I sent it so I had to retype it all. Then his USB ports don't work worth a darn, so ya I recorded something for you guys but it isn't working here, we aren't gonna ever come back here again.
But ya this week we had a really good week. We ended up teaching a lot of lessons and we had a stake conference. Even though the Stake Center is a little far away we ended up having a few investigators there. We had 8 investigators there, we had the family of 5 and 3 others, one of the others is going to be baptized this Sunday, so we are pretty excited to be baptizing again.
Other stuff that happened this week, well not to much. We worked hard and we ended up having good numbers. We ended up eating off the street one night, we ate a bunch of tacos and the guy had a soccer game playing, I got to see a sweet goal. haha.
That is funny that Lacey got hit in the eye snowboarding, she can go as much as she wants but she will never be as good as me. hahahahaha!!!! The video of Whit and Justin Beiber was pretty funny. I'm sure that she wishes that it was real haha.
But ya the time is going by fast here in Mexico, I don't know how it is going back in Cache Valley but today is my 7 month mark, for the most part it has all went pretty fast. Today we went to a Zone Activity, we played soccer and basketball in the Church next to the Temple, it was pretty fun. Then after we went and ate at Burger King!! It is expensive but oh it was worth it haha I had a whopper and a hamburger with fries and a drink. Even burger king is a little bit different here in Mexico. Next to the ketchup for your fries is a huge thing of hot sauce too, I actually like the salsa here in Mexico a lot now! It is tasty.
Ya to send a card to Elder Garcia just send it to me, haha he hardly knows how to work a computer so it will all be easier just to send it to me. And I think that the packages will get to me in about a month, maybe in two weeks, but if they don't get to Mexico in two weeks I will have to wait until close to the end of March. Haha I hope the chex mix stuff is still good!!
Well because of the Zone Activity we don't have too much time to write here. but I just wanted to let all of you know that I am doing good and we are having a little success here in Azteca. I recorded two messages on the voice recorder but it looks like you will have to wait until next week to get them. One is in English and one is in Spanish, we'll see if Lacey can understand all of it.
Grandma told me that The Toombs are going to Colorado in their mission, that is pretty cool. My companion in the MTC Elder Anderson was from Laramy Wyoming I'm pretty sure that Denver North is his home mission.
Sounds like a few people are passing away there in Benson. But the good thing is that through the Gospel we have the wonderful peace and comfort, that comes from knowing what is going to happen after this life. How great it is to have this knowledge!! Lots of people in the world don't have it we are truly blessed.
Well that is all for this week, sorry so short!! But I gotta run. I will try to send a better email next week, this week we are pressed for time. Hope you guys have a great week in school and at work!! Love ya!!!

Hola Familia,
Hey guys!! Sounds like things in Benson are going excellent!! Things here in Azteca are going good too, this week we baptized two young uns. One is named Ricardo, he is the son of a recent convert he is 13 years old. His Mom was baptized in November, and he has always told the missionaries no for baptism. But we had a few lessons with him and he changed his mind. His Dad is really Catholic so he didn't know what he needed to do, go with his Dad or go with his Mom but we got him dunked haha. The other kid is 8 years old but nobody in his family has the Priesthood so they asked me to baptized him. So we had these two baptisms this week. And well I forgot my camera on Sunday so I don't have pics, some members are supposed to be sending me the pictures, I will send them when I get them.
This week we also found a family, the family Solis. It is a family of 5 and they are really humble. We invited them to Church on Friday, and on Sunday all of the went. Their youngest son is 8 so all of them are potential baptisms!! We are hoping to continue with them, hopefully they can return to the Church this week too. We have also found another family but the Dad doesn't want to hear anything about the Church. But his wife read a chapter in the BoM and loved it, she told us she would love to be baptized but she needs a little time to make sure it is the right thing to do.
I laughed my head off at the video that you sent me of Lacey in my truck and Dad and Whit in the backyard! Lacey sounds like a total gringa!! Lose the accent fool!!! Hahaha But hey!! Who gave you permission to be drivin my truck!! Haha, no its all right it was good to see that Kandy is still running strong!! 0-60 in only 15 seconds!!! Haha then the video of Dad talking to Duke!! HAHAHAH oh man you guys gotta u tube that vid! Haha The cows are all looking good too!! They are alot bigger than the last time I saw them! Even Jr. is growing good. I think the hay has really helped them start growing faster. No thanks for the vids I think this week I will record something on my voice recorder and send it to you guys. I ended up not being able to open the valentines videos, the computer here won't open them.
Well we got all changed today in our new house. It is a little bit smaller than the last one but I'm really happy with it. It is really clean and the people that we live by are all really nice. It was really nice to get that off my mind!! This week we will be able to focus completley in the work!! Elder Garcia got good news today, I guess some sister missionaries there in his home ward visited his family, and all of his family are progressing towards baptism!! He has tears of joy right now, hopefully they will all progress and be baptized soon.
I seen in a newspaper here that Jerry Sloan is going to call it quits!!! What the heck!? He can't retire!! Without him the Jazz aren't the Jazz! By the way how are they doing this year?? Make sure that Dad lets me know what happens later on in the year with Dallas in the Draft, I need to know who they get.
Hey I dunno if you are going to send me another package for my birthday. If not its fine but if so can you throw in that chex mix stuff!? It's delicious. I think that when I come home from my mission I'm gonna be a little bit fatter!! Everyday we get stuffed with food! Yesterday we ate Al Hambre, directly translated it means to the hunger. It is a bunch of meats all cooked together then smothered in cheese!! It was so good but when we finished I felt so fat!!! I gotta eat less!
Well thanks for all the pics and all the vids it was good to see how things are back at home!! I really miss our yard! Everything here is concrete concrete and more concrete. Well gotta run I don't have much time today because we used all of our P-day moving the house. Let me know if anything exciting happens there in Benson or Cache Valley this week!! Love you all!!

Hey guys!! Sounds like things in Benson are going excellent!! Things here in Azteca are going good too, this week we baptized two young uns. One is named Ricardo, he is the son of a recent convert he is 13 years old. His Mom was baptized in November, and he has always told the missionaries no for baptism. But we had a few lessons with him and he changed his mind. His Dad is really Catholic so he didn't know what he needed to do, go with his Dad or go with his Mom but we got him dunked haha. The other kid is 8 years old but nobody in his family has the Priesthood so they asked me to baptized him. So we had these two baptisms this week. And well I forgot my camera on Sunday so I don't have pics, some members are supposed to be sending me the pictures, I will send them when I get them.
This week we also found a family, the family Solis. It is a family of 5 and they are really humble. We invited them to Church on Friday, and on Sunday all of the went. Their youngest son is 8 so all of them are potential baptisms!! We are hoping to continue with them, hopefully they can return to the Church this week too. We have also found another family but the Dad doesn't want to hear anything about the Church. But his wife read a chapter in the BoM and loved it, she told us she would love to be baptized but she needs a little time to make sure it is the right thing to do.
I laughed my head off at the video that you sent me of Lacey in my truck and Dad and Whit in the backyard! Lacey sounds like a total gringa!! Lose the accent fool!!! Hahaha But hey!! Who gave you permission to be drivin my truck!! Haha, no its all right it was good to see that Kandy is still running strong!! 0-60 in only 15 seconds!!! Haha then the video of Dad talking to Duke!! HAHAHAH oh man you guys gotta u tube that vid! Haha The cows are all looking good too!! They are alot bigger than the last time I saw them! Even Jr. is growing good.

Hola Familia,
Hey everybody how are things going this week? Everything sounds nice and normal. For the most part things here also are normal and going good. Now we know most of our area and a lot more members too. The members here are awesome all of them are super nice, yesterday some members gave me a mulcajete. Its a thing here in Mexico to make salsa. They are like 15 bucks or so.
Well now I only have one more Superbowl to miss haha, it was hard not watching it. The people here also watch the Super bowl, in almost every corner in the taco stands and in every window we could see the game being played. So ya I got to see bits and pieces here and there haha. I seen one of the Packers interceptions and one of the Steelers Touchdowns haha. Sounds like the game was pretty close.
Well the Avenida Oceania is close to our house, the Church is there in that street. We live in the colony Revolucion and we live in the street 6 de Marzo. But we have to change our house because the owner wants it. So this week we have been looking for a new place to live but it has to be below 2000 pesos. We haven't found anything really below 2000, we found two but they were super crappy. I think our landlord wants us out by this week but we haven't found anywhere to go haha.
Saturday we went and ate with some members, we had enchiladas verdes. They were really spicy but super good, my face got all red and I started sweatin because they were so spicy haha. Then the next day we had enchiladas again!!! But these ones weren't very spicy, but they were really good too. This week we also tried a taco stand in the street we ate tacos de Suadero. But my comp is telling me that these tacos are made with dog meat. He told me that they should be named tacos de su perro.
Haha but they were really good anyways haha.
Ya my comp doesn't receive too many emails. His mom is sick and can't do anything, she has something I don't know what but it has really weakened her and she doesn't really know what is going on. His dad doesn't like the idea at all of a mission so he doesn't write him either. His sister writes him every once in a while, but that is about it. I'm sure that it is hard for him having hardly any support. His birthday is on March 3rd.
Haha the American missionary that was here before me in this area didn't know Spanish very good at all, so now all the members comment on my Spanish haha because it is a lot better that him hahahaa. It is pretty funny, they all say how terrible his Spanish was haha.
Well how is everything going back at home? The calves are doing good still and growing big?? I hope so. Hopefully Jr. is starting to grow too. How is Odis? I hope he hasn't gotten more blind than when I left haha. You guys need to send me a pic of the shed upstairs with the new floor, and of the cows otra vez.
Well that is all for this week, hope you guys have.... the time of yo liiiiiife! Haha Everyone plays that song down here from the Black eyed peas, I'm guessin it is their latest one. But ya gotta run, Have a good week, and share the Gospel with someone!!! Love ya!
