Sept 29, 2010

Dear Mom and Dad,
Yeah, Wednesdays are my favorite, too. I get to go into town, usually go to the temple, and spend a lot of time sitting in the laundry room reading or just thinking about stuff, which is really good. I’m still really nervous for the field, though. It feels like everyone has just improved so much, yet I haven’t moved up at all. There was a fireside last night, as every Tuesday, and I didn’t understand the speaker. Ive
been here for 4 weeks, and I still cant understand. There are some beginners that can understand. Sometimes it just really bothers me, and the first month in the field is going to be really hard, I know it. The other thing is trying to learn scriptures and ask good questions. I don’t have any scriptures in my head and I’m not good at
asking questions. I have a lot on my plate, and I’m pretty sure I’m just working myself up. It´ll get really scary until the day I get out there, and then it´ll just start to become routine. Then Ill really start to enjoy it and time will just fly.

The weather here really isn’t too hot. Its transitioning from winter to fall right now, and the winters were never too bad. Slightly chilly, and the humidity didn’t help, but overall not too bad. I like it for the most part and its not like the worst thing. I think it will be a lot worse in Ecuador, but Ill adjust.

Thanks for all the news. I’m glad everyone is getting along well. Hunter is taking to soccer then? That’s good. I’m glad he actually tries. Now I can just teach him some stuff when I get home, then live my fantasy high school life vicariously through him. I was just going to wait for my son, but this is just as good.

About the camera. I don’t need a USB thing. I can buy one down here. I need you to look online for the WATTAGE. Like, how many watts it needs to charge, because I don’t know what to set my converter to. I have the owners manual, but it doesn’t say at all. Its not like a huge deal; I just wanna take some pictures with the Norte Americanos before we all go to the airport in two weeks. so if you could just go to google, type in "Wattage for Kodak M550" and then look through the links and

tell me what is says, that would be really good. Thanks. Maybe for my ipod, too, cuz I don’t know for that either. Its the "3rd Generation Classic 125 Gigs." Thanks. I hope you can find something. The ipod is just in case, by the way.

Another thing. For my luggage, I can only take two fifty pound bags, and my carry on can only weigh like 7 or 8 pounds. The plane we are taking is supposedly really small, so that’s why. Which means I am going to have to leave a lot of stuff back here. I have no idea what that stuff will be, but just a heads up. I am honestly thinking of just wearing those big rain boots on the plane. Do you think that

would be ok? It would free up a whole bunch of weight, and I could fit more stuff in. I was also gonna wear like two shirts, and maybe some other stuff, but I think that that is a little extreme, probably.

Yeah, I can pray for Brooklyn and Whitney. I know its hard. I remember in school how I always wished somebody would call me, but no one ever did. That’s probably one of the reasons that I never did play with anyone. I never made the initiative. But if they are, I dunno. Its gotta be difficult. Ill keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

I don’t have the address with me right now, actually. Did I not send it with one, or was it just no right? What do you mean by images, too? I’ll have to try to find it and retype it. I think once I get to Ecuador, they´ll just give it to me, but I dunno. Those first couple of weeks, or at least the first one, will be really hard, I think. Once I get adjusted, it´ll be way fast, but until then, yeah. Two weeks left! Whoo! This week flew by even faster than the last one. The days are so long, but it feels like I was just in here, like, two days ago. If its that fast here, it´ll be insane in the field. Which is good.

I love everyone at home, too. I pray for everyone every morning and night. I can feel the love from home, and I know you love me and keep me in your thoughts. Thank you for that, but don’t worry too much about me. I’m doing fine.

I hope dad gets better. I will pray for everyone. Again, only two weeks left. Heck yes. I was hoping to put my pictures online, but my camera completely died on the tour last week, which was super fun. Ate some food, not chicken, and today, all of us are ordering a ton of pizzas to Tottus, like, 18. Its gonna be so sweet. I’m excited.

Well, I love everyone. Keep praying for me. I need it. I’m going to continue it, too. My scripture for the week, the only one I can remember, is Proverbs 21:19. I know, its not nice, but its hilarious. Oh, by the way, if they haven’t put up my mission scripture or plaque, and its no trouble at all, like, 0 percent, I would like to have my mish scripture be 2 Ne 31:20-21. But its prob too late. Está bien. No worries. Love you.

Love,
Elder Reber

Mom and Dad,

No, its not for the converter. Each product has a different amount of volts it takes, and I don’t wanna set it too low or too high. I can look on the converter later. Maybe it´ll just be that simple. I dunno. The only thing I don’t wanna do is fry it. Ill be really stuck if that happens.

Oh, and yeah, I wasn’t supposed to be on again, but I don’t have anything else to do till five, and I’m not gonna try to wash my clothes with all these people here. When I arrived, there was maybe 100. After the new group, there are 150. Its ridiculous. So many more people. And with 16 washers and driers, for 160 or so elders, with each washer taking 30 minutes a load and each drier 45, its very very very hard and not even worth it. I’m just gonna do it tomorrow morning before

breakfast.

Well, yeah, that’s about it. Do you think yes on the boots or no? I’m just kinda curious. It would be way easier to work things out that way. Like I said, I’m gonna have to leave a lot of stuff here anyway, and that will really suck. God will help, though. I do think we got some stuff I probably didn’t need, but better safe than sorry. I don’t have the address thing for Ecuador, I’m sorry. It’s up in our

classroom, which used to just be down the hall, but now its really super far away. Otherwise I would. I might just have to wait until I actually get there and get my address and everything. Whoo, its gonna be a whole new world out there, but I’m ready to get accustomed, and just have it be routine and really just simple. That´ll be super fun.

Anyway, love you lots. Talk to you next week.

Love,
Elder Reber

Dear Whitney,
Two goals! Cool! I bet that was fun. Dad said he bought you a shake too, so thats fun! Fun day, huh? And you got to go to a real soccer game? Thats super fun.
Its ok to have glasses. I have glasses, and brooklyn has glasses, and hunter will probably need them too. So its ok. Glasses are only for cool people, anyway.
im glad school is fun. Keep doing good. And yes, Mrs Smith was way fun. I miss you and love you too.
Love,
Elder Reber

Dear Hunter,
Hey buddy! You scored two goals too? Good job! I bet that was super fun. I like telescopes too. Its a lot more fun to look at them through the telescope, huh? I cant even see the stars here! Sad. Walk a thon. Sounds like it was really fun. I hope you had fun. Keep playing with your friends. Play outside. Read books! Lotsa books. Its fun. I love you. Have a good week. I miss you.
Love,

Dear Brooklyn,
Hey, thats good to hear. I glad youre doing well. Keep trying to play the piano. There as some missionaries here who can play really good, and its fun to listen. That could be you someday, so dont give up. And try! Thats the most important part. Just try. Same with school. It can be hard, but just try.

I have two companions, Elder Poston, from North Carolina, and Elder

Cruz, from Utah. Today is my first day that we are all companions, so hopefully it´ll be fun. We get to go to a spot today in town and eat lots of american food and buy stuff, so that´ll be good.

Its okay to not write all the time. Its hard for the letters to get here, and its really expensive to send them back a lot, so I wont even be able to write a lot, except to Mom and Dad. So yeah, its ok.

Ipod touch, huh? Well, all I can say is good luck with that. Good luck

in stuff, and keep trying!

Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey, thanks for keeping me filled in on everything. Its good to hear about stuff, and know Im being thought about. Dont worry too much about me. Im doing fine. Ill be doing ten times better once I get out of this prison.

But anyways, yeah, Im doing good, too. This last week went by so ridiculously fast. Probably the fastest of my whole life. Well, except for yesterday, which was way slow, but still. Other than that, its already freakin pday. Good stuff.

Some events: nothing. Haha, nothing ever happens here. Class, food, gym, class, teaching, class, bed. Its the same everyday, and I can never remember what happened the day before. Serious. I went through my journal, and read the days, and they are so lame, but I didnt do anything during those times. Oh, wait, a couple things happened. My new companion, who was supposed to be Elder Hastings, went home last thursday. Elder Poston told me the day before that he had been having thoughts of suicide and stuff, and he had been talking to President Whetten. The next day, I found out that he went home. So I didnt know what was up with me. Turns out Im in a group of three with Elder Poston, who was in my room, and an elder named Elder Cruz. Poston had Cruz before, and he hates hm with a burning passion. I dunno, it´ll be either really interesting or just really awful, but theres nothing I can do about it. Try to make the best of it, I suppose.

Proselyting last week was not bien. We went out, and me and Elder Folonier went back to a guys house, Leoncio Lebón, that we talked to last week. Hes in my letter. But we taught him again, and I only opened my mouth three times. It was a two hour lesson. And only three times. I felt so stupid. These are what I said: 1. Hola. 2. I shared a scripture, which I tried to explain, and he couldnt understand me, so my comp did. 3. I tried to bear testimony, but he kept saying "Si. Si. Oh. . .Si. Si. Si. Oh, si. . . . . . . Si." It basically was pointless. And the worst part was that I could have jumped in anywhere, because I understood what was being taught. Like, the entire time. So that was a bust. After, we had like 30 minutes to go out, and we wanted to visit another guy from last week too, and we knocked, and his brother came out. We talked to him, well, Folonier did. I understood probably 10 words in the entire thirty minutes. All I understood was when he looked at me and said "Youre big." Um, yeah, I am. "How much do you weigh?" I didnt understand that, so Elder Folonier tried for like 2 minutes to explain it. I finally figured it out, but they use metrics down there, so when I said its in pounds, he didnt have any idea anyway. Apparently he was going to check out the church the next day, but it passed me. So I felt not really good after. Especially after other companionships stories. Oh well. I get to go out one more time before I leave here, so Ill make the best of that one.

My feet are ok. I think. The other night, the arches of my feet were hurting, and I dont know why. I really hope that it isnt like that when i am out proselyting, or there could be some real problems. But I dont think there will be. Today we get to go to a plaza, and get some real food, like a hamburger, and maybe get some souvenirs. I really dont know what to buy. Im not good with buying stuff like that. Same with when Im in Ecuador. Hopefully I can get some good stuff. We´ll see.

Well, Im almost out of time. Keep the stuff coming. I dont know how its going to be with letters out in the field, but it shouldnt be too hard or anything. I love and miss everyone, and hope they are doing ok. Thanks for the prayers.

Um, Im supposed to leave a scripture or something, I think, but the last spot I read was like Genesis 40, about Esau and Jacob, so thats kinda boring. Maybe a different time. Love you.

Love,
Elder Reber

Sept 15, 2010

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
Sorry, I dont have a lot of time right now. I just wanted to let you know that I am doing ok, and that I am having fun down here ni Peru. Thanks for your letters and your prayers. Im trying to take pictures and stuff, and Im trying to write in detail in my journal, but its just not very interesting here. You never hear missionary stories that start with "I was in the MTC and. . . " Well, some, but not a lot. I have a couple. But anyway, I gotta go wash clothes, but I miss everyone, and Im glad I can hear from all of you, and keep the news coming! Ask my mom for any stories or anything in super depth, which isnt my strong point anyway.
Love,
Elder Reber

Sept 15, 2010

Mom and Dad,
Hey, super sorry that’s its been two weeks. There’s a very good explanation. So, here, they let you send out one letter to family, it goes through to Provo, and then they send it from there, and it goes a lot faster. But I haven’t had time to write, plus I don’t have any stamps. But I did find one on Saturday, and sent it out, so it should be there soon . But when you write one back, will you put an American stamp in there, so I can send probably one nore out before Ecuador? Then once I get there I can just buy like, and hundred or something. Also, pdays are Wednesday, which is why I am writing this right now. But last week, worst thing, we only have two hours scheduled for writing, and one hour to do it. AND it overlaps with the laundry time. So I went in to do my laundry, like, three hours before we had to go back to class. I figured at max it would take two hours to do both loads. Well, I found a washer easy, but there are like 50 elders on my floor and 8 dryers, so I waited two and a half hours for a dryer, and way wet. I didn’t have ANY time for email, and I was way freakin pissed the rest of the day. So that’s why for that.
But anyway, were to begin? The food: it’s really good. It’s a lot different than in the states. Rice for lunch and dinner, always always always. Usually a potato, and then either chicked or beef. It’s really starting to get repetitive. But I still like it. I haven’t really been plugged up bad. Once almost, but then I had diarrhea the next morning, which got rid of that good enough.
Um, my companion, Elder Folonier, is really funny. He says some pretty crazy stuff, but we get along really well. The Latinos don’t really pull insults, like with chubby jokes at me, or dumb jokes at others. They tell it like it is. But they are all really huggy and touchy and stuff. I LOVE nights, cuz everyone is laughing all the time.
Class , so dumb. I have all beginners in my class, so I literally learn nothing new every day. It is almost pointless for me to try and learn anything. I’ve been getting a little discouraged, cuz it feels like I’m going nowhere. But I have been learning the scriptures more, which is what I’m focusing on. Spanish will come when I get there, I’m sure of that But I am worried about my knowledge of the scriptures.
Um, the members in my district are ok. Like I said in my letter that you haven’t got yet, they are all super close, so it’s hard for me to really get involved. It’s ok though, because next week, when my Latino leaves, I get an American. Sadly, he was in a district with one of the elders in my district now, and he said he’s really just annoying. He tries to sound really smart and funny, but I really think if I tell him that we should buckle down, he’ll do it. I’ll have a lot more confidence when I teach too, because I know more than him.
Let’s see. Oh, first time to the temple last week. So fun. We went out front, and hopped on the bus, ad it was insane. People in Peru are the craziest drivers in the world. But there are no accidents, which is good. The temple is really pretty. I got some pics of it, and it’s relatively small. It was my companions first time through, ever, so I got to be his accomplice. Talk about awesome. After, we got to wander around and go to a grocery store, Tottus. It is kinda like WalMart. Some of the food there was ridiculously cheap. But fof a bag of snickers, a little one, it was like 25 soles, or 8 bucks in American. Ridiculous. I didn’t buy any snacks last time, but I did today. A lot. Like, six big bags , and it came out to being probably around 12 bucks. Nice.
Um, about the pictures, yeah. I’ve taken some in Peru. You’re not allowed to take pictures in the room or stuff, which is dumb, and only on pday can you take pictures of the field. I don’t really know how to send them, because I don’t have a USB thing for my camera, and printing them out is really expensive; plus, I don’t know how I would send them. I think one of the Elders here has one, and I might try to borrow it for next week and hopefully send a few. Not many from here, but some. A bunch of the temple.
I haven’t listened to my ipod. I don’t think I will honestly. It really does drive away the spirit, and that’s something I desperately need. I have been really really trying to follow every rule, but its hard. The Latinos always break the lights out at 10:30 and quiet time at 10:15, usually more like 11 or 11:30. I’m always tired. Like, so tired. It sucks, but I better get used to it, cuz I’ll be tired 24/7 in the field.
Well, that all I can think of. We went proselyting
for the first time last Saturday, so so awesome. I sent a whole letter about it, and there’s some good stuff in there.
Well, I gotta go. I’m almost out of time. I’ll send another email next week. Thanks for all the news, and your prayers and concerns. Don’t worry too much about me. I love all of you. I know the church is true,, these even just 4 weeks have already changed my life, forever, I finished the BOM again yesterdaym yes! I’m such a good missionary. Maybe the best. Except for Jesus. Obviously. Love all of you and miss all of you. Sorry not a lot of letters. And tell relatives way super sorry. Just no time.
Until next week,
Love,
Elder Jace Reber

Sept 12, 2010

Dear Mom and Dad,
I get to sent two things in each envelope, so I’m sending another.
So it’ll be about yesterday. We went proselyting
It was really good! I woke up yesterday morning, way hungry from my fast and was really nervous. I was actually more border line terrified, and not excited at all.. We got our stuff, and went to the Auditorium. I was sitting while they discussed what was going to happen, and I just got this really calm feeling, and just started smiling really big and got excited, and wanted to go. It was really sweet. I know God helped me a lot, and that’s good. I know I can do this.
So we get on the bus, and we start to go to the area. It was probably 12 when we left, and we were riding for about half an hour. We were supposed to teach lessons to like 6 non-members, and then just go tracting, but when we got to the church, we had to wait. It was like 3 o’clock before people started showing up. And THEN for our group, all but 3 companionships got to go with a person, and we were one. So we got to just straight up go tracting, which was good. I was super excited when I found that out, though. So me and Folonier, my companion, and the companionship that rooms with us, Elder Poston and Asturizaga, went out. We were walking down the street, and all the people were really poor. Lotsa dogs, all that. It’s kinda sad, but I’ve always been a little jealous of poor people, because they appreciate things much more, and are really close knit and all that. Anyway, we go to the first door and a young kid comes, and I basically didn’t say anything. That’s how it was the whole time, actually. He would talk, I would listen and saying, “Sorry, I don’t speak Spanish well. I’m still learning.” But it was still really fun. We got like 8 contacts over all. But still. The second house we went to, another kid came down to the gate, and we talked to him for awhile. I bore testimony of Christ, but it was to a little kid, so….yeah. But while we were talking to the kid, his Grandpa came in to the gate, with a big sheep, a sheep, and he went in to the house, but left the sheep out. It let out the biggest Bah! I’ve ever heard. Then it put it’s feet up on the door, and did it again. Last, it jumped, like literally jumped, in to the door. It was hilarious. We went to the next house, and yelled, and some little kid poked his head out, and the teacher with us said, “Sus padres?” and he went back in. So we’re waiting, and I hear and little clink by me, and look down, and they had thrown a rock out at us. I kinda just stood there, not knowing what to do . So we started to leave and another one hit close, too. It was awesome. Great story. I want someone to pull a gun on me, too. Hopefully.
But ,we did talk to a lot of people. One guy, Carlos, lot us in, and he read the Bible and everything, and him and Folonier talked for awhile. He told us we were honorable for doing what we do, but I didn’t get much more than that. I gave a prayer, and blessed him and his mom, who was sick. He actually showed us her, and yeah. So we left, and it was really just easy. Once I learn Spanish, I’ll be able to do it easy. So we kept doing it, and nothing more really happened. Except, we were walking, and some old buy approached, and asked something. We went in to his house, and Folonier ended up talking to him for 45 minutes. We actually gave him a blessing. I consecrated the oil, and Folonier blessed him. We left him the B of M , though. All in all, it was really good.
I learned that I can do this. Easy. Once I get Spanish, there will be no probems. So, yeah, I got nothing else to really say. Every other missionary always leaves a scripture, but I don’t really have any. I was reading in Mormon, chapter 8 this week, and it’s good. So yeah. I love everyone! Miss You! I hope this comes.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber

Sept 10, 2010

Dear Mom & Dad & Family,
I made it to Peru. Which I assume you could’ve guessed, and by the fact that I’m writing this letter right now. Also, I have o idea how long this will take to get to you, so sorry. It’ll probably be the only letter I send, too, just because it’s so weird here. I guess we’ll just have to see.
But yeah, I’m here. Everything is starting to become routine. Class, food, ensenanza, class, food, class, gym, class, food, class, ensananze, bed. Yup. But it’s going ok.
The food here is really good. Lots a rice. Always at Lunch and Dinner. And soup always, too. The food is usually like chicken, but sometimes we get something else. Bah, my stomach is growling. I’m fasting for when we have to go out in the streets tomorrow and talk to people. I’m really scared, and am not super excited. I’ve gotten really tired of Spanish, and that’s not a good thing. I hope that goes away. Which it will, after 3 months or so. Time goes by really fast, too. It’s already Friday, wow. But the days are slow. Long days, way short weeks.
There are some bad things here. The other North Americans in my district, to name one, they are all ok, not like way annoying or anything, but they were all together in Provo, too, so I’m not really “in” with them. It’s actually probably better, because I don’t get distracted by people. Another is the ensananzas. I hate them. They are so dumb, and I don’t know any scriptures or questions, and I always feel overwhelmed. But they are actually starting to feel better to me, which is good. I dunno.
The Latinos are all really nice. They are pretty touchy, feely, but it’s not like super weird. They talk to everyone, and always give someone a hug or just laugh a lot. Nights are the best, because we all just laugh and hang out and stuff. I like those times. Makes sleep better, too.
My companion, Elder Folonier, is a a Latino from Argentina. He’s pretty cool. All the Latinos are way weird, like they love anime, which is Japanese Art show-fighting things, I like DragonBall Z. Freakin Dragonball Z, worst show. Kids in America like it when they’re 8, and EVERY Latino loves it. So does Folonier, But it’s still fun. I laugh, he laughs, really no complaints. Some members in my district have complain-fests where they just sit and whine. It’s really annoying. But he’s good.
I am trying to concentrate on cramming 200 scriptures in to my head and trying to learn questions. I feel so useless sometimes during the teachings, because I have nothing to contribute. It can be really hard some days, but I’m trying. It’ll come.
Um, there aren’t really stories I have. Relatively boring, just routine. My journal is way boring, too. I hope I don’t regret that. Oh well.
Well, I love you all! Fill me in on stuff that’s been happening. Life, school, family, everything. Wish me luck, keep praying. Have a good week/month, whenever this comes.
Love,
Elder Reber

Sept 2, 2010

Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey, I made it. I’m not dead, and this place is decent. There’s a lot of new weird things. My companion, whose name I do not know, is from Argentina, and he doesn’t speak a word of English. I tried communicating with him during lunch, but its really hard, because even when he tries to explain things, they still don’t make any sense to me. Oh well. Give it time.
Anyway, yeah. This place is very different. The native people seem to always get really mad at us when we don’t understand them, and although I’m not supposed to compare myself with others, I know more than a lot of six weekers. But they could have just been beginners or something. Maybe.
Yeah, today was really boring. We didn’t have any classes, and we have like six hours of free time. Which would be nice, if I at least knew some of the people that were in my district, and I miss that. But they are all beginners too. I think every single one of them is, except or me. It’s weird why they would put me in that, but its ok with me. Anyway, they just told me I could get on and send you a thing to let you know that I am ok. I love you! I know that this mission will help me. I’m so grateful to God and Jesus and the Atonement and everything. Its hard to have a good attitude, but I will surely try to. Again, I love you.
Last thing, however. They gave me a new address. Its weird. It says Street Address, and then says
Apartado Postal
12-167
Lima 12-Peru

But right across from it, it says:

Elder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . & your Mission Name
(write you name)
Av. Melgarejo 159
Urb. Campo Verde
La Molina, Lima, Peru

I don’t know what it means. So you probably use the Elder Reber & Mission name one as the main thing, but then what’s the street address for? I dunno. It’s really confusing. Maybe Dad will know, or maybe someone else. I dunno. If you write me one, and if I’m still here, and I actually get it, I’ll just use the return address. It also says, for the first four weeks, you should send to one of those, for the Last Three, you should write the Missions address. I really don’t know. It’s kinda dumb. Anyways. Yeah. Also, do NOT send me any packages. It’s bolded. Its better if you just put money in my account. I converted forty today into Peruvian money. It’s like a hundred and ten plus a coin. Not sure. Ok. Well, its almost time. I’ll write the other one for everybody now. Again, I love you! Pray for me and wish me a lot of luck.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber


Dear Everyone,
I am now officially in Peru. I have served my three weeks there and make it safely on the plane with little problems. I did have to give up my shaving cream and shampoo, however. I thought the guy doing it was gonna punch me square in the face with the way he was talking to me. But other than that, my first flight was relatively easy.
A lot of stuff has changed in me. I’m super glad I came here. I know that I will be a changed guy and that life will be different for me when I come home. Thanks for the support. So, yeah, not many interesting things have happened. Lots of studying, lots of class, lots of food. The last week went by really fast, but now its gonna all start being slow again. I hope not. I really just wanna get out into the field and start already. It’s killing me being in here for so long. I hope it all actually helps me. Ummm, that’s all. I’ve ben to the temple a lot, that’s good. I got pooped on by a bird during studying We caught a bird in our dorm hall, and then another in a hall two floors lower. I don’t even know how they got in there, but it’s awesome. Got to go to the TRC, or the Referral Center, and talk to real people wanting to know more stuff. That was cool, too. Spanish is really hard. So much for it being one of the easiest languages to learn. Mentirosos!
Ok. I’m done. No mas es interesante in mu vida. Otra vez, gracias. Gracias por sus oraciones y persimientos, Keep them coming. Te amo!
Con amor,
Elder Jace Reber
