Hi Mom,

Glad things are good, thanks for talking to Alex for me, next week I think I'll be in Cusco and I'll do what I can to go to the post office and send him a letter.  Glad you got to go to the temple open house.  Brother Montgomery has been telling me about it in the letters he sends me every month.  Oh! and I got the package! Thank you very much!  It was funny to see the contrast in the whiteness of the new shirts and the ones I started with, ha ha. Saturday Cesar and Delia were married, and then baptised after, it was awesome!  It was the biggest baptisimal service I've had in the mission! I'm excited for them. I was able to confirm Cesar as a member of the church, that was a special experience. Things are good the changes or transfers are this Sunday so we'll see what happens. I might receive a new companion.  But, say thanks to Jennie and I love you too! Love you Mom, talk to you next week!

Hi Mom,
No, I still haven't gotten the package yet, maybe something happened.  Glad everything is going good.  Hey I got a letter from Alex, but I'm in a place where there is no post office so I can't write him or anybody right now, which is lame, but let him know I got his letter and as soon as I can write I will.  This week went by good, we had interviews with our mission president.   It went well. It's the first time I've really talked to him.  I asked him what he thought of me as a missionary, to see if there are things I need to do better.  I told him, president I have some time in the mission and at the same time I dont have much time left.  He said he is very proud of the work I did in Puno, and that I'm a missionary with a lot of aptitudes with the right attitude, and that he wants to keep seeing me move forward in that way, so that made me feel good. Things are interesting with my companion. He doesn't really like me and pretty much everything I do isn't up to par with how he thinks it should be done, and some other stuff. But trying to take the good out of it.  We did divisions yesterday with two priests that both have less than a year as member.  I learned a lot.  I was trying to do everything as good as I could, and it helped me remember a few things. Things are going good.  This saturday we have the wedding and the baptism, so I'm excited for that. I'm out of time, love you and I'll write to you next week.  Here are some photos! 

Hi Mom,

The light was out in all of Puno last Monday, so I couldn't write you.  Glad everyone is doing good.  I hope Brennan had a great birthday! Wow, Brennan is teacher now, that's sweet. I'll keep Brett in my prayers. Well I'm back in Cusco, in a little city called Urcos - an hour or so out of Cusco.  It's a family group like where I started, so we do everything, but it's cool.  I teach sunday school for the kids from 12-18.  This Sunday I had a talk.  It was my first sunday there and just my luck the mission president just happend to show up ha ha.  The church is in an apartment building, it's interesting, but I'm excited to be there, we've got a lot to do. My companion is Elder Gomez from Guatemala, he's awesome. Urcos is really pretty as you can see in the pictures.  We have a few other smaller towns which are part of our sector too.  This week we walked 2 hours to one and found a whole family to teach so that was awesome.  I'm doing good. The baptism we had the last week went really well, it was sad to baptize them then have to leave the next day.  That's all I have for now.  Love you, and I'll talk to you next week!
