Life is to be enjoyed, not endured! I am a firm believer that a truly happy person is someone who finds happiness on the "DETOURS" of life! I love to smile and nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than making others smile!:) ETHER 12:27

I had to shovel the poop shoot....
When you flush it just goes outside and you have
 to make a little canal so it flows.....YUCK!
But I love to serve :)

Elder Foster at Capital

Hey Mom I don't have any time today to write because we spent the day with investigators but we will have time tomorrow to write, Mom thank you so much for doing my blog I'm sure it looks amazing. It is just one of my many journals! I'm really glad the Huntsman family got my letter.

I'll send you more photos of the MTC with captions for you to add to the blog too! I'll make sure to send photos every week then and put a title on my email! You can look for my email tomorrow.

We spent the day with Susanna in the wheel chair we cooked and did service for her, we are actually typing this on her computer because none of the cybers are open because its a holiday here, Day of the races.
It was a very amazing week. I'm so so so so glad you got to talk to Jake Johns and I really hope you'll go down to see him.
I cant explain how happy I am!!!! LIFE IS NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT WE MAKE OF IT!!!!!

I'll send you my photos of our P day with Susanna.

Hey you guys!!!

Sorry I didn't get the chance to write yesterday things got way busy and I ended up going on divisions with an elder named Elder Dayhuff from South Jordan, Utah.

I loved the experience it was awesome, they are struggling and didn't have any baptismal dates so we went over and worked really hard, talked to everyone, followed the spirit and we have a baptismal date with one of their old investigators Pablo for the 5th of November.

I love helping other Elders enjoy their missions! It is something that is hard for me to understand why sometimes they just don't take it all in and LOVE IT!  But I am glad I have the chance to help some of them out.

Just wanted to start off by saying WOW!!! Tate looks like a hotty with a naughty body, I wonder if he took it from his older brother jaja jk jk.   I definately have some work to do before I can say something like that, but really he looks like a model.  Cole did an amazing job and really is talented and would be smart looking into a profession.

This week I found out something really crazy,  an Elder in my zone named Elder Perez from Chiqawawa,  Mexico knew Elder Luke Chapple because they ate at their house on a regular basis, he told me Elder Chapple is a stud and works really hard, nothing could have brought me greater joy so you'll have to make sure and tell their family about it.

This week we went into capital and it really is a whole other world, people are clean, they have jobs, they have hair appointments and I even saw some clothing brands that I am used to. While I was there I took advantage and bought myself a few jerseys and have tucked them away for after the mission.

So I honestly haven't used hardly any personal money maybe 200 dollars but I don't know what my card situation is, are you putting money on it monthly or how is that working? Would you please make sure there is some money on the card because I am going to start preparing a small package to send to you guys for Christmas... I'm sorry it wont be anything big because it is REALLY EXPENSIVE TO SEND PACKAGES.

I will spend about 100 dollars or like 400 pesos just to get it to you, but I'll make it filled with Argentina stuff! Speaking of packages Mom, I received yours and I love the shirts.  Thank you so much for being so thoughtful, I actually gave my companion the yellow spud run shirt as a gift and he loves it and sends you a kiss.

Wow I was impressed with the letters and the drawings of Shad and Delanie... they are developing their skills rapidly.  I have a list of things that other missionaries have said are needed when you hit a year in the mission that would be nice for Christmas and my birthday, but the problem is it would cost so much to ship it, so you could  do one of two things.

If people want to send me something you can tell them what it is that I need and they can send it... or they can give you just cash and you could put it on my card and I could buy what I need here.

Packages are faster than letters, I honestly don't want much... mostly just good hygiene stuff, but I would like to buy a new suit and shoes for my last year, but  I'm not to worried about all that now.

This week was will be hard to forget - President Carter has focused a lot on diligence and planning since he has been here. Well we have been diligent and found lots and lots of people to teach but we have faulted a little on the planning part, so we took the time to plan for the 30 investigators that we have.

We made specific plans for everyone of them and their needs and how they could come to church and who would bring them, who would sit by them, and how we could meet their needs. It was well worth it, we had 11 of the 30 come to church this Sunday and we have baptismal dates with all of them, I honestly don't know why we are so blessed... but I do know that as we make our deepest desires the desires of the Lord he is bound to guide us.

We have the goal to baptise every week, but sometimes our pride or feelings of scared or tired don't allow us to really complete with our desires, I have prayed and prayed that the Lord will strengthen me to act according to the desires that he has placed in my heart, I know that he is giving us the strength of mind and physical strength to complete his work.

Mom I pray nightly for my future spouse that she will feel my love and the love and support of the Savior when she needs it, I don't know who it will be but I know as you said mom... that she will be perfect for me.

This is all the time that I have for right now but I'm excited to here about your week with Jake Johns! I hope Tate will go and hear and see what a returned missionary has to offer, he is as good as they come! I love him and hope you enjoy his spirit, smile, and love of the Savior that I once enjoyed just a few weeks ago!

I love you all and wish you the best of luck in all that you do.

Thanks for updating my blog mom I'm sure lots of people will love it, Mikel and Kelly already looked at it and emailed me.
