Nov 7, 2011

Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey, my companion is named Elder Carlos Dos Santos. Big ol last name. I just call him Dos Santos. Easier. He’s a good guy. A little crazy, but whatever. All good. This week was ok. We didn’t do a whole lot, but found a lady way cool. She is way good. We found her leaving, teach her, she cried, a lot, and told us that she knows that it is a sign from God. Freak, its perfect. I know that I will be able to tell the story better back at home, but it looks like she should be getting baptized. I’m excited. Some good success here in the mish. Makes me happy. Anyway. I don’t have a lot to say. I just know that this week we gotta step it up a lot more. Gonna try to find some more people, and to teach mijo (my son) better. I can’t believe it’s already almost freakin Thanksgiving again. It drives me insane. Almost time to talk again. It feels like just yesterday I was with Perez up there in Conocoto on Skype, seriously. Like, not that long ago. Life is crazy.

Well, I love you guys a lot. I know that what I’m doing is true. It’s really starting to hit me how little I have left. I mean, 9 months is a lot, but this week it just destroyed me. I realize how fast it is actually going to be, and it scares me. The end is actually starting to be in my sights. I’m not sure how to feel. It makes me sad and excited. I dunno. Pray for me. I need a boost of excitement I think. I know that there is still so much to do, and so much to learn. I just gotta do it. I love this place, never wanna leave. That’s all. Gettin trunky in the both senses. Haha, ok. Well, that’s all. I’ll talk to you guys next week. Love you all a lot.

Love,
Elder Jace Reber




Dear Children,
What up? How are things going? I’m good here at home, just enjoying my time as a missionary. I can’t believe that it is already almost time again for Thanksgiving. It makes me think crazy. But ok. I’m glad that you all got to do some fun stuff at home. That’s good. I hope that you can continue doing fun stuff. I miss you guys a lot. I Love you.

Love,
Elder Reber
