so just so you know I wrote everyone else last week but saved yours for last like I normaly do so i have the most time to write but last week the power was horrible and I wasn't thniking about that during email. Because it came at normal time that day for some reason but then as I was half way done writting you the power quit and because the power was gone for neary all day evry day for about 4 days all the peoples generators were out and im in a city right now where they dont have much of anything they only have one inernet center thaat everyone uses so everyone after a depeveravtion of power was trying to get some pwoer in.
oh so you know you should be proud of me i wrote great grams in spanish and also a bunch of thank you notes to random people in the ward. There generic so if you see someone I know just pass em out ;) na but I gave it to the ZL and he said he knows a place thats pretty relable in bani so hes going to try and stop by super quick during the week to send it off. It has ali's hippo too so if you could jsut give it to her when she stops by from school. but yea i wrote some thanks letters without having to be prometed too ah yea im growing up;)
But nothing really new happened this week transfers came and im going to be sending ELder guzman off to his house. Its a bit distracting because it is dawning on him more and more evry day hes going home so hes talking about things he wants to do when he gets home. but i should be here for at least 3 more months becuase of that 6 weeks to kill him off then 6 to show the new guy around.
oh though you know our investigator gisselle? Always asks super great questions and super in depth and knows every thing? yea so we´ve finally got her to go to church! its awesome. she went last week but not this week because of the rain but no one leaves there house if its raining. but she told us it doesnt matter rain or shine shes going to church this week because its her birthday and she wants it to be spiritual. so woot! though we stil havn't gotten her to accept a baptism date. she shares the gospel with all her friends and the phamlets too and she says she loves the book of mormon and konws its true I'm pretty sure she said she told a friend she was mormon but she still seems to have a fear of gtetting baptised... but its alright take her time right.. though she now has all the lessons and half of the lessons of the church regualr teaching. incredible.
but imma wrtie more in a second. love you much

well that was a cool story about josie seeing how she met him.
interesting. i didnt know they had a curfew in techschool. im
thinking about going miltary road now. im thinking about doing two
years of school first to get a degree then tryig to become an officer
dealing with something medical. thats my plan. how long is josie
going to stay in the military? she going to stay just a couple years
right? or are they both going to stay in the military?
wow that is strange, the tingleys.... wierd. haha ok so every ime i
show someone the photo of josie and craig they all say woh your sis is
marring a dominican, hes dominican righT? does he know english or does
she know spanish. one is so convinced that hes dominican he wants me
to ask him. he not dominican right?
wow big sis is getting married... wierd.
thats super supe rwierd about david, how does sleeping at night work?
with a compainship you have to sleep in the same room. and all that...
i dont see how that works in the least bit.. well i did see that in
the mtc hes not ni the mtc right? because with that i saw it a couple
times the guys just drop her off at her housing unit and she goes with
the sisters in her room and then they just pick her up in the morning
and stuff like that. so if its in the field though i dont know how
that works.
oh so Elder Guzman is now in his house, killing someone off stinks a
TON. i do not like it in one bit. always talking about what hes going
to be doing in his house and his family and all the stuff hse going to
do... yup not fun but he left a week before transfers so i now have a
new comp Elder Pimental. hes pretty cool from what i can tell though
our first day togther is Pday so i don tknow much about him still.
though hes a wicked artist! the guy knows how to draw! hes crazy good.
im jealous. but yea well see if were togther next transfer or just a
week. transfer calls come this sunday. vamos a ver.
avacado shake... that yet, though i did eat some for the first time in
my life. had some with rice but no ones given me a shake. though all
the avacado tree are ripening so maybe avacado season is coming and
then ill be forced to drink one. its probably the only type of shake
juice thing ive had to drink. they make every kind of possible type of
drink here most are pretty good, others on the other hand... like sis
porter, you learn to not make faces. hes the YW secretary? or the yM
secretary? cool cool.... and you nothing.... hmmm
hmm.... interesting... maybe youll get one soon.
no brielle thats sad, at least you got a pool right? im jealous of
that. though brielle was prettty legit i really liked hanging out
with her. she knew how to make a person work for a friendship, at
first it was like i had to restart ever time i saw her. once school
starts up are you goign to be with her again? school starts soon
right? in august? and josie getting married right before that!! woot
wierd.. is tat gaint family reunion going to be this summer too right?
so everything is bought huh? so that means you can relax a little
till the real thng starts. woot! and party hardy with them porters.
thats legit ryans taking good care of my harness right? being nice to
it?
so nothing is really happening here. we got a new mission prseident.
i still dont know him though hes offically in office tomorrow. but hes
here walking around and stuff. should be interesting to see what he
changes and keeps the same. the mission is rooting for him to let us
have some music at least the hymns. itd be nice. oh so i was istening
exra hard to the people speaking spanish to see what i could learn
from it and turns out im learning hillbilly spanish maybe because ive
been in campos the whole time but there spanish stinks. i was
listening and frequently they mess up the tenses., like " i said" is
yo dije but a lot of the time they say yo dijo a lot of mistakes like
that. oh so i made a goal to touch a ton of different animals so far
ive touched a goat, a sheep, a pig( they really really dont like when
you do that haha squeeled so loud!) a horse, a chick, a rooster, a
dog, cat, cow, um what else.. oh a donkey im sure thers more but i
really cant think right now julio is standing over my shoulder and
its really distracting and has been doing it the whole time and wont
leave, its really trying to the patience eh. now he saw his name and
is over whelming and relly wont leave ad is telling me to write all
kinds of stuff about him.... sorry i cant think with that.... though
he does want me to ask jordan to be his GF he saw her pic an dthink

woh woh woh! Did you not get the letter I sent last week? (**Turns out Jeremy's' letter showed up in my spam folder didn't find it till after this letter came** from Jeremy's mom) it was 5 paragraphs it wasn't a ton but it was still a letter? much didn't go on for the past two weeks but i wrote one and it explained why i didn't write one the week before. sorry if I've made you feel unloved but if you did get the one and still mad if wasn't long enough or something how long is the proper length so i don't mess up again. sorry to make you feel not wanted or loved, but i do love you very much so. and i do care about the problems are going in your life like first of and most important your kidneys (which i really really want to be kept updated about)and the immense amount of work you're putting into Josie's wedding while trying to deal with all the other busels and hussels of life like an other kid moving to college. ill make sure you are always the first to right in case of other power failures, though usually i liked to save you for last so i wont be thinking bout no one else and can make it the best and not rushed. but sorry again for making you feel unloved. I DO love you very much.
If you still want to know how my week was after you read all the other missionaries letters:) here's how it was it was almost like every other week. though better. today we went and tried doing a service project for a family. were trying to build a little gated area for there goats. but its in an area where its cemented off and all our tools are is a hammer and stick with a metal point at the end and a coconut shell to scoop the dirt out and a broken machete. haha we only got the posts up today tomorrow were going back to put the fencing part up. but trying to break through the concrete was a fun at first i tryed using the stick thing and ended up get a few blisters and stuff from that but the hammer works way better. but man working with that is way different then i thought it would be.
Giselle went to church again! and she has a fewer of speaking in public but in the investigators-recent convert class, she actually starting asking questions and got the class in a great conversation and at the end she ws aske to say there prayer and at first she was super hesitant but got up and said all right but i don't know how to pray very well soo... but everyone was GREAT there all like no no no pray how your comfortable, all super comforting and she prayed perfectly! and after everyone was SUPER great giving him praise and like yea! she had a huge grin after. i think she likes how its so friendly here and its like a discussion in this class no just someone in front of you yelling at the congregation REPENT or got to EL. I was super proud of that class. super proud of her. I love that class we even managed from the week to get a few inactive to go as well!!it was great seeing them in class with the others. its like all your best buddies in one room having fun. its cool for sure.
but its pretty far walk from the chapel to Don Gregorio so we helped some moms walk to there homes and carry there babies or bag for them. theres two in specific who have newly borns. i carried the one month old an my comp a bag and a cousin of the other mom carried the other baby. but by the time we got to the one moms house because they walk SUPER slow my arm was Sleeping hard. i think it was about a 40 min walk. and i kept the baby on the one side the whole time. but that baby was sleeping hard too super small and cool looking. though when we got to a branch off of one way for one mom and one for the other we went with the one because the other had her two cousins to carry her bag and one the baby so we went with the one who was solo. but i think the one was a little offend that we didn't walk with her, shes a bit sensitive. if we walk by our house and don't stop and say hi or talk a lil shell get upset but she wont stop us and say hi if we walk by the house only tells us the next day you didn't say hey i saw you walk by.. but shes still super cool. one of my favorite members.
so i didn't realize the extent of tigaraje that goes down on a mission. like missionaries having girlfriends, kissing, going to the movies, going out of mission boundies to visit your house real quick, stuff like that. i remember thinking missionaries were like perfect before the mission specially when i was younger and though every comp was like best friends. but now I'm here, my perspective of missionaries is way different. and the mission president wow this one is wow like one story specifically that my comp knows is true because its his story. he was interviewing someone for the baptismal interview and the only real requisit have a testimony of the church. and he asked if they tought this church was true and they said i don't know really. asked if they prayed to know and they said no but it sounds like a good one. so he called almonte to know what to do and he said baptise them, thats just asking for more inactives. i shouldn't talk bad about him though . hes my mission president. though we get a new one in about a month. should be interesting to see if he keeps it the way this president has it or changes it.
oh so the owner of our house said he put in this thing that has water on the roof and so we should have some running water because he filled it up so i was SUPER pumped to take a real shower instead of bucketing it. so i went and out of habit started with the bucket to get me wet so i soaped up but went for the shower because i remembered and was pumped still and went turned it on and it was like a dribble hahah man and i didn't fill up the bucket because i thought there was water to shower with so the bucket was basically empty ha so i had to try and stand under this dribble and try to rinse off but the pipe barley comes out of the wall so i was almost all up on the wall but i was trying to avoid that because i don't know when the last time that was washed, nasty;) ha but yea that was a fun experience.. oh dad if you want theres a guy here who says he can find a hard drive that has 1020g for about 100$ and i know you're always finding new hard drives so if you want i can try to get the for you test it out see if its legit
oh so you know how i can call for Josie's wedding? and you said you're doing a cut out of me? well what might be funny if you bring the cut out to jo and say hey jeremy wants to say congrats and shell speak to the cutt out but you have the phone on speaker and ill respond and ya ll can see if she does any thing. might be funny may not .
but hows trying to fin dead trees? house looking like a forest huh? hah i Hope thats not causi g too much stress. but hows the kidneys you get any results yet from your pee? hows diabities? hows everything? hows havign pool right there? hows prep for the wedding besides trees? hows the dress look? who alls coming down for that?
hah thats funny about sacrement. sacrement her os a ñottñe crazy as well. I Love you all and hope everything goes smooth,
LOVE yall

oh so we got the confernce magazine and i was reading priesthood session and i read waht you where talking about with RMs getting married. Pres. Monson in his closing talk talked about that so thats the talk youll need to read if you want to know more, it was basically jsut advice about it and that we should worry too much about being finacially sound first and stuff like tht.
ok i was going to send some pictures but this comp is being stupid and slow and not wanting to work with me so im sorry no photos this week.
LOVE you
