Dear Family,
Hey, I’m good, like always. This last week was pretty bomb, and things are really starting to look up here, and it makes me really happy. I hope that we will continue to have it good. We had a baptism of a lady on Saturday, and President Ghent came to it. Crazy stuff, that is. I was nervous, but it was one of the best turnouts that I’ve had for a baptism. Lots of investigators, and tons of family for the sister. Cool stuff. Almost didn’t happen, but all worked out well. Good for that.
Lets see what else. We have found some families that have the possibility to progress, so that’s good, no? In this next change, we should have 4 or 5 baptisms, which will be good. I sure hope so. Baptisms always make everyone happy. I think so, anyway. So that was fun.
Nothing really new or crazy. The lessons have been the same, we have been looking for people, and I can’t remember much. I do want to start writing in my journal, but I just don’t do it. And there’s not much to write. Kinda boring here. Just doing the same stuff. I dunno. The good thing is that I remember a ton of stuff about every convert, and lessons with them, and their turning points, or the spiritual experiences. That’s good, right? Oh yeah. The other things, well, will just help me in life. If I can’t remember them, well, sad. But the big things I do. The majority of that stuff. I am going to strive to do it better, even if it’s just crap to write. Or just a couple of lines or something. Better than nothing, right?
Another thing. Freak, I busted my camera again. We went to a cool mountain place today, I had the wrist strap on, a bug fell on my finger, I flipped it off, and the camera slid off and hit the ground. It won’t shut now. I think it´ll cost like 120 bucks to fix it. I can’t believe it, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. I’ve never been sick in the mission, maybe this is the problem. Cameras. I’ll probably talk to someone tomorrow about it. I need you guys to put more money in so that I can take it out and buy another I dunno. Just flip it from my savings to the checking. I hope that you´ve been doing that. I saved all that money for the mission and college, but whatever came first. So here I am. Please.
Well, I love you guys. We should have another baptism of the daughter of the lady we baptized Saturday, and then just keep the ball rolling. I love you guys a lot, and want the best for each of you. Times coming down, but still a lot of good left for me to do here. Have a good week, remember Alma 37:6-7. It’s so true.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
*****Just a little side note before you read Madison's letter from Jace! Madison has 'Senior-itas'! So she has been a little laxidazical(?) with making it to school on time, let alone making to all her classes every day! Not really a problem, she is a great student. But Bruce teases her that she might not graduate or get to 'walk' with her class! So when he wrote Jace and told him, he wasn't that impressed! You'll see! But don't worry, really! She'll be fine! *****
Madison,
I’m good. Had a baptism last week, and just keep pushing on. Having fun, having success, becoming older, and a heck of a lot hotter. Sam got robbed, huh? He didn’t say anything to me. Cool about the job. Why do you wanna move out so bad? There doesn’t need to be any rush, I don’t think. It´ll be fun staying at home for a bit. And anyway, I’ll probably be the first to move out. Well, maybe not. I got no problem being home, and its free. Free food, free bed, free internet, all of that good stuff. Plus, I’ll be completely broke when I get back. Cool, though. Sooo, I hear you’ve basically dropped out from school. Serious? GO. Maybe it’s just cuz you don’t have much challenge, but you gotta pass and walk. That’s the best. Do it. You´ll regret it if not.
Tanner came back, then. Nice. I thought he had already come back a loooong time ago, but whatever. I think Zach is next. I can’t say. I don’t remember anyone anymore. Well, I love ya, hope that this week is really super fun, and that you will have the best time of your whole freakin life. January, well, is just flying by. I don’t know what to say. There are already gonna be changes next Sunday. Feels like yesterday I left my Quinindé. Ok.
Love,
