July 8th

Family!
First off thanks for the letters, tell everyone else who has thanks as well! (and to keep sending in abundance!) I'm not suppose to be writing but I had to send off a lil info and say a few things. DAD- thanks for the sports info, it brought me to real life for a few short seconds and I needed & still need it! So keep it comin padre! Billy May's the oxyclean guy died!? He's awsome, RIP! Another Elder told me today that the one and only Shaq said, "I have one purpose & that is to protect the king." Haha I loved it, he's the man. Mom, the few things I need are ...1) addresses (emails) of your bro's & sisters- g'ma-g'pa, Jeff- & Dad's. 2) Some sweet colored spiffy ties (if you have funds) 3) box of bars of soap. 4) bed head hair stuff 5) Homemade cookies (preferably snicker-doodle :-) no joke. I think I may need a few more pairs of pants before I leave the MTC but that can be later! We had a great devotional tonight by a 70 Angil Abbera. It was cool & maybe one quote I can share, "We magnify ourselves with the way we act!" I loved that, especially with the people like yourselves who aren't serving a mission. Hope all is well. Tell Kar- Kar her pictures from primary are hanging in my room :-) The other Elders envy them! The Spanish is hard, I'm behind the guys in my district, they have all had +2 years in high school. My 1 middle school year does me no justice haha. But I'm suprisingly not far behind! I'll bear you my testimony. Yo se que Jesucristo is my salvador e redertor, Yo se que Jesuocristo el lijo de dios, testifico que el libro del mormon es la palabra de dios, testifico que Jose Smith un profeta, Yo amo mi Padre Celestial, en el nombre di Jesucristo, Amen! Just a quick one for lack of space! Anyways I know Carter will be OK on his trip. I've prayed for him as well as all of you every night. Tomorrow we have a TRC (teaching resource center). We have to meet a stranger (paid actor) and invite them to meet with us @ their house (in Spanish) and then teach the 1st lesson (in English). Should be exciting! One last thing. I'm in a district of 8 Elders. 4 of us are ging to Mendoza & the other 4 are going to Dominican republic. The 4 going to the island are leaving to that MTC in 2 weeks! Elder Campbell (wierd huh?), Elder Keeton, Elder Hunter, & Elder Lane. So we'll be left with 4. Districts are normally 10-12 so it'll be different! I don't want them to go me, Elder Keeton & Campbell #2 get along awesome. They're great guys!!! Oh, send me 2 sd cards for my cameral. I lost my original card along with all the pics I was going to send you :-( So send 2 so 1 can be in my camera and 1 in the mail for you to enjoy. Love you all! Make good decisons & you'll be blessed! Hasta luego ! Yo amo mi familia!
