Hi Mom,
This week I got my new companion Elder Mamani from Bolivia, he's awesome. We worked HARD this week. We met a really awesome investigator this week named Rosa, she wants to get baptized already too! She came to church on Sunday, prayed, read the Book of Mormon - she's awesome. We had a new convert sister walk home with her, but what's even cooler is that she said she didn't understand what she read in the Book of Mormon but after the sister walked her home she read the Book of Mormon TO her and explained it!!! How awesome is that! The sad thing is that she is not married and will be moving in a month, but we going to do all we can to teach while we still can, and then where she moves send the elders.  We climbed up to the top of a mountain read some scriptures together then dedicated our sector, it was an awesome experience. Hope you recover fast after your surgery, Mom love you! And I'll talk to you next week.

Hi Mom, Today are changes and Wednesday I get a new companion, so that's cool.  This week was pretty cool, we met a great investigator Monday, probably the best lesson I've had in a while!  She said she wanted to know it is true and everything, asking us questions, it was awesome.  We invited her to church with her family, and she tells the next day she is travelling and won't be back till after fathers day.  Usually always something has to happen, but it's all good. This Sunday is Fathers Day, I think and I want to say I love you Dad and hope you have a great Day!  Honestly the food here for me isn't the best, there are a few things I like such as tuna salad Peruvian style, and some other things but I don't know the names. I guess I should probably start asking, that would be good. (sometimes you'd rather not know) but yeah, all is good.  I listened to a talk by Elder Oaks about teaching.  It was awesome, he said whenever we are teaching the Gospel, that is WHAT we teach, the principle and then the doctrine behind it, and that is all, which I liked and some other things he said.  Sometimes some missionarys share weird things with people. Anyway,  love ya Mom, have a great week and Dad a great Father's Day!  Love Aaron

Hi Mom,
Thanks for Stormy's address!  Today I got the package, thank you so much, I will enjoy the cookies later.  Yes, the two little girls we baptized will be active, their dad isn't a member so that would make them a part member family, but their step dad and mom are married in the temple and very active so they have a lot of help.  This week was pretty sweet.  We're finding some pretty cool investigators, and looking for less active members. Working with less active members is somewhat depressing but it's always the best if we can help them come back.  Changes are next week and pretty sure I'll be getting a new companion.   We'll see what happens. Pretty sure I'll be in my sector for the next 3 months.  Pretty much every elder for almost the past 2 years that has been in my sector has been here for 6 months. But my sector is pretty awesome so I won't mind.  We just need to start working more with the members and references because after you have all the streets memorized, you got to find new ways to contact as not to fall into the trap of feeling bored and stuff. But yeah, everything is going good. I have officially come to the conclusion that no one will ever be able to say my name correctly usually it's something like Elder Brrt ha, ha.   Te amo, until next week, Love Aaron

Hi Mom,
Glad your week was good.  Jennie told me that she was glad to spend time with you guys.  I hope your memorial day is fun, and that you can go and visit Grandpa.   Sorry you have allergies. Wow, Cara is MOVING OUT!  That's cool, I hope it goes well.  I still haven't gotten the package yet, which is lame.  I'm glad you finally get to have your surgery so your not pain so much.   I'm sure it will go well. This week we started teaching two little twins, Ebit and Lizbit, who we also baptized this week, which was awesome. For being little they understand a lot better than some adults we teach; and they remember everything too.  This week was pretty good.  We weren't able to contact Enrique, the guy that let us in for 20 min, but we'll get a hold of him.  Anyway, all is good.  The internet here is SLOW, took 10 min just to log in, so yeah, I'm out of time, love you!
