Week 57

hey i dont know if i will be able to answer all the questions you made this week but i will try hahaha. this week was good. easter was normal. here in the field there isnt really a difference in normal days and holidays, except that there are no people in the streets. um there are a lot of areas in our mission. like there are 7 zones and then the zones are divided into areas. i hope that i get trasfered to a place called Irece. it is a new area that they opened two transfers ago. i think that it would be cool to go to a place that nobody has been before. yeah i actually ate that stuff today. it is really good here. i drink a lot of guarana too. i have actually been using guarana powder in the morning to give me more energy to exercise. um no i usually do the dvds on my own. last week i got Marcolino to do the bicept one with me and he cried for a week. hahaha. but yeah people are crazy here. no i am about half way done with the Jesus The Christ. i dont care if you ride it. you can if you want. i saw ryders new teeth and was going to ask what happened to them. hahaha. did they run away? The other question that i had is who gave permission to kycen to practice driving in my truck? i am going to want to sell that here in 10 months. hahahaha. no i dont need maple yet i still have a bottle full. i am doing good. i am trying to keep my head up we had to drop about all of our investigatores last week which was a real bummer. our goal this week is finish strong. we only have one more week together so we are going to try to work hard and not let off here at the end. i no that i am being tried here and i got to win this battle. i love you guys i hope you have a great week. i will have to do some training on the computer with tangren so i will write you guys this week.

i dont know how it is i have never been there. i only know that they are babtizing a lot and nobody knows anything about the missionaries which is good. and by sell my truck i meant sell it to you so if you want to trust your future truck with dude haha.  good luck out there today. i am going to go to work then do some p90 x tonight. i love you. finish strong. !!!!!

Week 56

hey this week was a good week. we worked our butts off and had a bunch of people that said they were going to go to church with us. then sunday morning came around and we had nobody at church. hahaha. oh how i was happy hahaha. but its alll good. i did my part and thats all i can do. that is so cool about Dixon i am so stoked for him. he is going to love it. yeah it is supose to be fall here but in petrolina they only have one season. summer hahaha. its still hot and i dont think it will change. We did see one miricle this week. it rained thursday night!!!! hahah  that sucks about the rodeo. i am sorry i wasnt there to bale you guys out haha. we had some conferences this week. they were really good. i got to see President Hart. Sister Hart has a picture of me roping and she is going to try and paint it if she gets time. it will be so sick. As for the bed, Kycen may be getting bigger but i am still not afraid of him. i know he is still soft inside. i wont have problems beating on him hahaha. hey i wanted to see if you could sent me some mircle whip maynoese and some alfredo sauce? they dont have those here. so funny story this week we set up a appt. with a less active member to make pancakes with them friday night. so we went to our house and then remembered that we had an appointment on the other side of town at that same time. so i gave a crash course on how to make pancakes to elder marcolino and me and Tangren went running to the other side town and told them we would came help with the panicakes after. so normally it takes 30 min from our house to the appointment. The pancakes were 15 min from our house. so we got done at our appointment at 8 o clock. we called marcolino and he was like they are about done you are going to miss it, but you know me i love pancakes. so we took off and made it to the house of the pancakes in 25 min. it should have took us like 45 min but we ran like half of it hahaha. We were pretty sore the next day hahaha. Tangren was like the first  time i ran in like 3 years hahaha. it was really funny. i love you guys have a good week.

Week 55

its all good. this week. the heat sparked back up and it was 120 this week for about a week. it really makes it hard to work when it is that hot but we are trying hard. even the people from here are struggling with the heat. getting people to come to church seems like our biggist difficulty. yeah it is not as humid here but its so hot it doesnt matter if its humid or not. we are teaching Joseli, Adriana, Aparaciera and her family, and leo. those are our best investigatores right now. its startting to get more and more difficult for me because i have worked in like all of my area. i am running out of ideas. we are trying to keep our heads up though. the horses look good. i like the pictures where i can see the yard and my truck. its the little things that you start to miss the most. i know how quinn feels. at first it is almost good to get a little break from it all, but then after a little while you just start to miss it. it doesnt matter what you do you cant get your horses, roping, nothing out. i walk everywhere roping imaginary steers. i think people think i am crazy. i try to stop and just focuse on why i am here, but i cant get it out of my head. i miss you guys i love you and hope you have a good week. pry for my investigatores they need. it. .... oh yeah we all had to talk at church this week. it whent good. we all did good. only Elder Benegas who is from argintina was hard to understand,but it was way cool. i used a story out of the book kim hafen gave me. i talked about service and how that we need to give not only physical service to people but spiritual too. we need to feed people spirtually by sharing the gospel more. have a good week .

week 54

hey this week was good. it was really hot. we spent a lot of time knocking doors in the sun. we found some really good people though so it was worth it. so yesterday we went to Elder Hubbards house and hung out wiht him for pday. that was cool. he goes home in 9 weeks! that is so crazy to me. i also got my package you sent me ! i have already watched my video like three times haha. i loved the package and am convinced that i have the best family in the world and definatly the best mom. i did ´90x today and made it about half the way through the first cd and about threw up haha. it was so freaking hard haha. i am still having a hard time seeing you guys going to a concert. haha. that is good that kycen won some money. tell him that he has to handle them . if he handles them for wayce they will win. tell him it is not like me i lucked out and had quinn behind me and didnt have to handle them all that well hahahaha. the weeks are passing by really fast here. i think that it is getting hotter though. i hope that i get transfered to a little bit cooler place haha. if that exists here. oh i wanted to know what the medicine was that was in the package that you sent me? how should i use it? i hope you guys have a good week have fun in the snow and get feeling better. i love you guys.

week 53

hahaha that is funny about bam. the funny part is that you thought i would feel bad. like you thought i wouldn't have done the same thing to him hahha. yeah it is really hard to want to get up and get out of bed in the mornings when its nice and cold haha. i sleep so good. if i could i would take it with me but i don't think it would fit in my bag haha. No Leo wasn't baptized. we learned that he has a dad so we have to find his dad and get him to sign the papers for him. they had efy in Salvador. they only have efy here every 4 years. i kinda wish i would have went to efy before. i was all ways to distracted with other things. we are teaching a lot of people they just don't want to come to church. its really sad. its like you work hard all week to have no one go to church. but we are teaching one lady who was a professional hand ball player! she has traveled all over the world to play hand ball i thought that was pretty cool. i cant believe that my truck broke down already. like you just barely got it back. you guys are hard on trucks haha. so wanna know something crazy Elder Hubbard will go home in 10 weeks. time goes by so freaking fast. i cant believe it. i think you should secretary the roping's. its smarter. you don't need to send me Dave's music i cant listen to it here, but i will when I get home for sure. haha i wish it was 80 degrees here. its still really hot here haha. this week was pretty normal. it seems like each week goes by faster than the last. i got my new tag so i will send you guys a package here in a week or so. i will by some more stuff to send to you guys. i miss you guys and love you all. have a good week.
ok i will look for some more of them to send to him. that is so cool about greys tail i am glad to see that you guys are taking care of y things.... well except for my truck hahaha  haha yeah sounds like it. just don't talk grandpa into giving you my new truck before i get home i would like it to run when i get it hahaha.
yeah i think we take for granted lots of times what we have. we go through hard times but it could be worse i think. i love you. no i didn't get the package. i will have him send you the things he wants and his address because i don't think i will be here by the time it gets here. maybe i will get packages this week.
this week was pretty normal. not a lot exciting happened. we worked hard all week and nobody went to church it was a real bummer. we are trying to get into the English schools here to help teach English and find some more investigators. i think it will be something really cool if we can get it to work. that sucks when you rope good and don't do good. its like i would rather just rope bad sometimes haha. i am glad to hear gray is working good. mom told me a little bit about how he worked and it remind me of the big bratt when i won it. he worked so awesome there. that is nuts that he is going to Africa. do you know if he will have to speak another language? there are some places there that speak Portuguese. i cant believe that Brandon is all ready gone and that Dixon will have his call soon. its still crazy to me to see all my friends that had no desire before all going on missions now. i don't know if i got the picture of grey? i found a site that is about team roping in Brazil and they have a lot of videos on YouTube form team roping here its kinda cool its kinda funny some of them. i hope that i can work for cactus maybe as an interpreter and come back here to rope i think it would be so cool. i miss you hope you have a good week.
 

week 52

haha well i was on on sat becasue i am training Tangren and he has to do some activities on the computer so i was looking at the scores of the basketbal game and i couldnt believe that they got throttled so bad ha. that really sucks for them. that sucks about the package. and even worse becasue  i wont get the dr pepper hahaha. thats ok about the cherries i dont even use it haha. it is so good without it. that is so cool about annie. i am so proud that you won haha. it just takes me not being there for you to win. no we didnt babtize this week. Leo the nefew of marjory his dad hasnt decided if he is going to let him be babtized or not yet. today is the day we will learn about the transfers. i think i will stay here, this week we recieved the greatest blessing i have gotten in a long time hahah. we had a member give us an air conditioner!!!!!!!!!! it is so nice to sleep with a blanket again haha. we moved our house all around and put all of our beds in one room. we get home and plan and then we lock ouselves inour room and turn on th ac hahah it is so amazing. this week willl be crazy normally we have transfers on tuesday but its being moved to wed. now. so i dont know how it is all going to work out. so we learned why we all got sick. they are having problems with the water here. so now i just drink coke ;) hahah just kiddin we by bottled water. so last week we made apple crisp too. it was one of the best things that i have made here hahaha. i am so greatful that my mom taught me how to cook. so what are you guys doing now that basketball and everything is over. can you still ride in te arena? have there been any ropings? one lesson that i learned this week  is that God knows what we need to grow. we were talking bout how people in different times have different challenges. i realized that God sent us now because the challenges of today are the things we have to learn to deal with because maybe the other difficulties we can all ready handle. we are here to grow. if it was easy we wouldnt grow. i hope you have a good week. i love you guys
