Dear Family,
Well, I probably had the best week of my mish this last week. We baptized every single one of the people that we had planned, and freak, it was so awesome. It was the best night of life. That’s almost for sure. Everyone was super happy, including me, pues. The water heater didn’t have gas, and it was the coldest water of any baptism in the whole mission, but you know what? Didn’t even care. It was a really awesome experience that I will never forget. And in a place where everyone says it’s impossible. Good stuff for Elder Reber. We also had two investigators show up to church, completely out of nowhere, so we should even end the change baptizing a couple more people. Wow. Can you say happiest missionary ever? I can. Way good stuff. We had the conference with President, too, and I got to see like five of my old comps, and my son, too, Elder Dos Santos. Big ol black dude, but was happy to see that guy. Still loves me, still love him. Fun, fun.
What else? That was basically the week. I can’t remember anything else that we did over the days. Had the best fish I’ve ever tried on Saturday, my gosh, soooo good. We gotta fry fish at home. It’s the only way to do it, and do it right. We´ll do it.
Ummm, that’s that. I can’t think of anything else. Cool about you guys being able to go up north and do some fun stuff up there. That’s good. Sad about the dog. It will be hard on them, and especially Grandpa. Just hope he´ll still be able to smile when I get back. I think so. The pancakes, nah, that idea got old quick. Back to good ol cereal. Costs a bit more, but hey, it fills, it’s fast, and I can do it easy. As for treats, just starbursts. Any other new stuff I´d like, stuff I haven’t seen for a while, or whatever looks good in the store. I ain’t picky anymore. It’s not raining, at all, I have been wearing the shoes every day, yeah, really, I’m used to it now, I am losing weight, love Quito, does wonders for me, and I’m just moving along like its nobodies business. Gonna change up a lot back at home when I return. It´ll be good, though.
Well, that’s all. I love you guys a lot, and am so happy for all of the success and miracles that I am seeing here in this place. I know that what I’m doing is true and good, and that I’ve been helping a lot of people here. Mainly me. It looks like nothing anymore, I know that whole mission, and I’m confident in what I’m doing. I have goals, and will be meeting them. Gotta put some new ones, it looks like. This church is true, this work is from God, and I’m receiving blessings like I never even believed. Ok. Miss you all, and have a sweet week. February is already almost coming to a close. Wow.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
Ah, its true, tomorrow is Valentines Day. How weird to think. I remember last year Valentines Day, super good. I was with Elder Perez, and it was my second week in Conocoto. How weird to think. It feels like it was so long ago, but in the same time, it feels like just yesterday. Crazy.
Crap, I forgot. There was a little earthquake here the other day. It was awesome. I was in divisions, doing interviews with some missionaries in the other district and our ZL, Elder Vanegas, and we were sleeping on the floor. At 5:45, it just starts to shake a little. I had no idea what to do. Kinda just sat there like an idiot, and then it stopped. Super weird. Haha, the Mexican, Elder Borroel, crazy dude, love him, runs out, "Dude, did you feel that? Tell me you felt that. I’m freakin out, man." Haha, so good.
