Oct 10, 2011

Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey, its good to hear from all of you. Ain’t got much time here, because I’m here in Quito. Gotta get my Censo renewed tomorrow. Its nuts. I have almost a friggin year here in Ecuador. It basically just kills me. Really fast. Like lightning. But what can you do? I can finally count the months on my hands. It almost makes me cry. Haha, whatever.

Conference was good. Learned a lot, had some good times. Did get to watch it in English, with a gringo in Quinindé. It was good. This week was ok, too. Went to Quito for the Leaders Meeting, saw Evenson and Albino, too. Doing good. Love those guys. Awesome stuff. Learned a lot from President, and just had an all around good time. We came back, and just tried to do some stuff. Freak, its exploding in my sector. We should, in all seriousness, have between 5 and 12 baptisms in the upcoming 3 weeks. That would be awesome. Oh, and another girl told me to come back for her to marry her. In a really, really, really direct
way. Pretty nuts. I didn’t have any idea what to say. She said that she was gonna kidnap me and just put me in her room forever, and just have my 8 kids. . . . . . . Kinda freaked me out, but hey, if that’s what she wants. Haha, no, not really. Ok.

Well, that’s crazy about the canyon. So how are they going to get around it? Just have to take another route or what? I’m not sure. I hope that it’s all cleared by the time I get home. I wanna visit them mountains.

About the recipes, the cheesecake I can’t do, and the pork, maybe. I´d like to do that. Another thing I thought would be to try and make corn dogs. That would be really cool, too. Just show them people all of the good ol american food. I would enjoy it.

Well, that’s that. I don’t have many pictures, but this week, I’m gonna take them all off of my camera and send them home to you guys. We´ll hope for the best. I love you all a lot, and just want you to have a super awesome week. I can’t remember anything else that I was gonna say. There was a list. Oh, I am going to take a pic of my shoes pretty quick. They got holes again, and the others, the laces are brokin, and they don’t sell them anywhere here. Ok. Well, love you guys. Miss ya. Talk to ya soon.

Love,
Elder Jace Reber
