May 16, 2011

Dear Family,
Hey, everything is going well here. Yeah, the Skype thing was really fun, and I’m glad we got to do it. Everyone still looks the same, basically. Only Brooklyn looks like she has changed a lot. She looks a lot older. Kinda scary, but whaddya do? Nothing. But yeah.
Lets see. This week was kinda a bust. I have a new comp, Elder Martinez, from Guatemala (yeah, another freakin Guatamateco) and he’s ok. He was in Santo Domingo with me, so I already kinda knew him. He doesn’t talk a lot, but he’s good. I teach a lot now, so that’s good. We take turns fairly well, and I like that. But we haven’t done a whole lot. Not a lot of new people, and not a whole lot of bappys. But hey, it was the first week. It was fun. We have a couple planned for this week, and they´re gonna get interviewed tonight, so we´re hopìng for the best. We had planned 4, but we can’t find the other two. Fetch! It sucks.
Other than that, nothing has happened. My comp is a little lazy, and sometimes it’s hard to be motivated. He’s got 15 months almost, but he is still comp menor, and for that reason. He’s just a follower, even more so than I am, but I’m trying to help him change a bit. We´ll see. I can’t remember any stories or anything this week, but we found some people that just let us right in, and it was nice to have someone do it like that. I dunno. We´ll see what we can do.
Well, I love you guys. Do the things I told you in the house. I know I’m not there, and it might be a little different for me, but when I get back, whoo, every single day. It´ll change; I know it. It’s hard to see now, but you both just gotta get into it. Study alone, and then share what you learned. That’s where I always learn a lot. Read slow, pray before, and do it with real intent. You´ll learn a ton. Well, that’s that. Have a good week, and hopefully next week everything will have gone good and we´ll have some more people. I completed 9 months on the 11th. Wow. En serio. Bueno.

Love,
Elder Jace Reber
