So Caitlin made the softball team? What position¿
What’s the deal with the girls both getting brand new phones and there I was suffering with mine for 2 years. Not only that, but they received cellular devices 2ish years before I did...¿ What gives? What kind of phones did you get them? And I would just like you to know that I expect an iphone for when I get home now... no, really though you guys have gone soft. I didn’t start driving in the parking lot till after I was 15... not before.

demmciado injusto. casi no lo puedo creer. houra you se que ningun miembro de mi familia intiende el español entonces la persona que lee esto tiene que dicir a my familia que me deban. y que todavía espero sus fotos para sus forros de las escrituras. gracias por traducir. ¿¡no fue divirtido!?

So Three days ago we found a house, and today we are in the process of moving, but the small hitch is that they haven’t finished painting the interior. So we had to dump all our stuff at the church, where we may end up sleeping today. In the process of moving I was going to show my comp how awesome my suit is and to my wonderful surprise I opened the bag to find my suit half covered in mold. Yes, mold. I have no idea what I can do. I’m gonna look for a dry cleaner, but I’m not so sure I’ll find one here. So ... any suggestions¿

So right now we have 7 with a baptismal date for this Saturday. The family Zelaya, but not the parents yet, and two other people. The deal with the parents that we didn’t know is that the dad is only the father of the three youngest (3, 5, 7) and the rest with dates are all step children. The other thing is that the mother has two sons that live on the mainland, but are coming out here soon. And they’re really rebellious kids. So the dad just want to make sure that the sons will recognize him as an authority figure, and that the wife to be will take his side on important issues, and not the side of the two rebellious sons. Tonight we’re gonna go talk to them about it, but the marriage is set for this Friday (pending a little bit on the outcome of tonight). (But the thing is this, my comp and I have agreed to split paying the boda (basically the taxes that they haven’t been paying and need to be paid before they get married) and it’s about 50 dollars so if you guys could go ahead and put an extra 25 or 30 bucks in my account that’d be just swell!)

I’m way excited for Steve and Tyler. I’ll be honest with them if they read this. At first I wasn’t too sure about the whole mission thing. And the 2 months in the MTC are... bad. I liked saying that it’s like spirit prison: you can’t leave until you know all the gospel. But after that this life here actually in the field is incredible! I’m already a little scared ‘cause a quarter of my time is gone and I’ve completely forgotten normal life. Let me know where they’re heading!
I’ll try sending pictures next week. Love you guys!
