dear familythis next week we have transfers so i am pretty sure i will be leaving. i have been in this area for 6 months now and so its pretty for sure that i am leaving. but i got the packages for my birthday and it has been killing me to not open them. but last week wasnt very fun. we were having a great week. until we lost a whole day traveling to do a baptismal interview and then we lost another day because my companion was sick the whole day. i had nothing to do all day. so i wrote letters, cleaned the pensh, studied for like 4 hours, wrote in my journal, did all of my laundry, sat around, and nothing else. it was probably the worst day of my mission. i felt like i did nothing all day and because of that we were only able to get one person to church. i cant believe that i am almost 21. thats like old person age... well in the mission thats an old person age. that means i dont have too much time left. that made me sad to hear about bingham losing, i remember exactly how skyler felt. its the worst feeling. all of our time playing little league we are just thinking about that one game our senior year. and when we get dissapointed its one of the worst days. haha, but now it just means so little but at the time it meant everything to me. so put your arm around his shoulder for me. And dad of course we will have to go to some alta basketball games together. i would love to. oh and the bulletin thing with all the missionaries addresses, i dont know if too many people take advantage of it. cuz i have never recieved a letter from anyone in the ward haha. i think from frank graph i recieved an email but thats it haha. and yes i know elder lineback. and i had no idea he went to indian hills haha thats funny. the city that i live in is called cruz del eje. you can send anything to the president and the hermana olsen and they will love it. pictures of christ i dont know. but i am sorry the email wasnt like, i want to try and respond to everyone. just know that i am doing great and i am loving the mission more then ever. i cant believe all the good it has done for me. i am so so so so so so thankful i came. if i wouldnt have come, i dont know where i would be. i would still be active, but i wouldnt have my priorities straight. i love everyone so much and have a good day chau!megani had no idea that orians is teething was actual a word in english. haha, i forget words sometimes. today i couldnt think of the word tamales. the one mexican food think. cuz they call it different here. and sometimes i cant prounounce words right haha. but oh well, spanish is screwing me up. and i know that twilight is a book, and kelsey told me that she saw the first movie. its about a vampire. they call it crepusculo here in argentina. its not too popular though. but thanks for everything you do. i got the ties that you sent me from hawaii and they were way cool. i dont know if i can wear a couple of them cuz they are too goofy but i wore the flower one the other day. but i love you and have a good day chauNikki and LanceLance, you made me way trunky!!! dont ever tell me that ever again haha. i liked your story about your comp buying you the linkin park cd. its a good thing i am not in the states. those kind of cds are basically impossible to get here so i am lucky haha. congrats on the band, and dont go killers style!! they are a good band, but they are good enough to have their style. tell them they are lame if they go that way haha. angels and airwaves is pretty good. and i dont know if i can be your man for the screamer haha, i havent listened to that music for a while. but i did here it like a month ago in the street and i couldnt believe that i used to like the music where it just constantly screams all the time. but oh well. i was stupid. for your band name i would definatley go with the destroyers, but if you dont like that i would go with circumstance. but i love you and nikki and tell hailee happy birthday for me. and she better enjoy this last birthday because i will not let her still my thunder. i will ruin her birthday to make mine look good. haha just kidding. chaukelseythe pictures were pretty cool. kenzie looks the exact same as you. i think you were somehow twins split at birth like in parent trap or something. you might want to go research that out a bit. i hope you are doing well at school and have a good week. keep having a good time at suu. and it seems like you are fitting in just fine. i remember your senior year at alta you had a ton of problems and trials. but now it seems like you are just doing great and i dont have to give you any advice. so keep it up and keep workind hard and do your best to stay happy. love you have a good day chau.
