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!

Hi Mom,
Thanks for the pictures! Trace is lookin' good with his shades and Sadie looks pretty with her dance dress. They keep growing! Wow, Stormy leaves Wednesday! That's awesome! When you get his address let me know please. I got a letter from Sis. Johnson I'm glad they are doing good and it's nice to hear from them. I also got a letter from Bro. and Sis. Wright - that was sweet. I'm going to take a little bit of time out this Sunday night to write people back. I got a letter from Alex, too and he went to Australia to work for the summer. I'm feeling better - just have a cough left, but I feel good. I still didn't get the package yet, the zone leaders showed up with a laundry bag full of packages but all for other people - I'm sure it will show up pretty soon. This week went by pretty good. We were out tracting this week, and we talked to this one guy who said we could come back in an hour and he would listen to us, so we knocked some other doors for a while then came back to talk to him. He came down to the front door to talk to us (which is better that the window rooftop response ha ha) and we presented ourselves, and then he started to say that if he wants to know something he'll ask his pastor and other things, (to which I was thinking why did you want us to come back then), so I said, "Look Brother, we've been called by a prophet of God to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and I know our message will bless your life, (to which he didn't know what to say for a second) then he said, "alright you have 20 minutes to talk to me", then he let us inside, so that was pretty cool. We also gave talks this Sunday, that was cool. It has become a lot easier of something to do, which is nice. We're also trying harder to work with the members and less actives, too. One less active member before we could even say hi said, "Look I'm less active and I'm never coming back and there is not one thing you can say to me to help me change my mind". But yeah, everything is going good, love you guys!

Hi family, it was awesome to be able to talk to you guys yesterday! I'm glad everything is going good back home. I hope Jennie had a great Mothers Day and that she's doing great since I didn't get to talk to her. That's pretty cool what you said about Abinadi, he's probably my favorite or second favorite from the Book of Mormon. What he said is true to the wicked priests, that those who profess to know something should KNOW IT and LIVE IT, he also testifies in one of the most powerful ways recorded in scripture. That's pretty sad what our "President" has decided to accept, but just goes to show the true nature of some people when in a position of power. I remember one founding father (I believe) (look it up) said, "in terms of fashion, go with the flow, in terms of morality and principles stand as a rock." Which has a lot of truth because if you go around dressed as a pilgrim still your going to draw a lot of uneeded attention ha ha. I'm feeling a little bit better today and going to do my best to put in work this week! Love you guys and thanks for all the support! I'll talk to you next week.
