Dear Family,
Hey, yeah, I hope that this letter is longer than a couple of sentences, but there’s nothing new. I can’t even think to write anything in my journal, because we don’t do anything. We have been looking and trying to find new people, but not too much luck yet. We just gotta buckle down. I feel we haven’t given it all. I know that this ward is amazing, and I wanna see some good things outta it. I know that there are still a ton of people that I can help and baptize, just gotta keep at it. It´ll be good. Freak, the change is almost over. How crazy. Only three after. Things starting to get crazy.
Anyway. That’s about that. Sounds like things are passing well at home. Can’t believe the changes that are going to pass quick back there. Everyone’s getting old, and I’m just getting bald as crap. That’s the truth. You´ll all see on Mother´s Day. Haha, that’s already getting here, too. Feels like yesterday we talked on Christmas. Anyway.
Well, I love you guys a lot, and hope that you are all well. Keep doing what you gotta do, going to church, reading, family home evening, all of that good stuff. Summer’s almost there. Here, no idea, haha. Don’t even remember the days or the seasons of anything. Time flies when you’re serving Dios! Have a good week, miss you all, love you all.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber

Dear Hunter,
Hey, what’s up buddy? This week was ok. We didn’t do very well here, but we´re trying. There is still a lot that we have to do to get better, but we are going to do it and see a lot of new things that can happen and change. I’m excited for that. Love you.

Dear Fam,
Hey, I’m fine, just like always, out here in the middle of the freakin world, just convertin these Ecuatorianos out here. Fun. This week was pretty good, did some fun stuff, ate, proselyted, did all of that stuff, just like always. Haha, I dunno. I’m kinda outta it. Last night, we slept at Aitkens house, because my freakin mattresses have like fleas in them, so I used that liquid crap. We were up pretty late. Haha, but fun. Enjoying myself out here, just trying my very best. This month was really hard for us, and we didn’t hardly have like any success at all, but I’m hoping that they´ll give me another change with my companion so that we can try to show our stuff here, and to just help the zone get up and get going. I’m not too worried. We don’t have absolutely anybody with a date, but we have a lot of possibility to find people. I’m hoping so.
Anyway. It sounds like everything is going good back at home, and that makes me happy. I dunno. In two weeks it´ll already be General Conference. Crazy. My last one in the mission. I remember in Santo Domingo when we watched the Priesthood Session there in like November. All of them were talking about how close they were. Freak. It makes me kinda sad. Ok.
Well, I love you guys a lot. I know that what I’m doing here is true and that I’m helping a lot of people be happy and come closer to God. I’m sorry that I don’t have a lot to say. Things are just starting to become normal. Like, really, really, really normal. But I know that’s what God wants. I miss you all, and look forward to hearing from you again in the next week.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber

Dear Brooklyn,
Hey, I’m fine. Having fun here in Ecuador, just hangin out, trying to find people to teach and good stuff to do. I think I’m succeeding. We´ll see. Anyway. I love you a lot and miss you. Good luck in singing and everything, seems like you´ve really picked it up. Hasta que hablemos otra vez.
Dear Whitney,
I’m doing good. Softball tryouts, huh? I bet it´ll be fun, though, and that you´ll do really good. I hope so, anyway. Cool. I’m having fun here, too. We are working hard. I love you and miss you a lot. Have a fun week, yeah?
Dear Hunter,
Hey, Ecuador is really good this week. Lots of fun stuff to do and new people to meet, so that makes me really happy too. Haha, a rainbow trout? Hit dad for me, ok? Hahaha, cool, buddy. I hope you do good. Love you and miss you.

Dear Fam,
Hey, everything is good out here. Tired as crap, we went to Cotopaxi today with the zone, way fun, and hiked so far. I’m way beat, but that’s the mish. This week went well, had a ton of changes, though. Elder Sanchez got changed, and now I’m with an Elder named Elder Vasquez. He’s from Guatemala. He’s way cool, too, and we´re having fun out here doing stuff, trying to help some people. All that. As far as zone leader goes, you do have less time to work in the sector, but there is time still. We got a reference the other day, and we are probably going to baptize a lady and her daughters, if all goes well. We hope, at least. So that’s good. I’m glad to know that everything is going fun at home, like always.
The card is ok. There aren’t any problems anymore. My card from the mission just doesn’t have money. I think someone hacked in and stole the money without me even knowing. Freak, that sucks, but there’s nothing that I can do about it. Just gotta take it out from my own for a bit until they can fix it. I think so. I should probably call them, no? We´ll see. Apart from that, everything here is still the same. Time passing still, just hit 19 months yesterday, gross, but cool. Time is coming down. Elder Aitken came here in the zone, who I’ll be flying in with to St. George, so we talk a whole friggin lot about stuff, and its fun. Haha, just kinda get trunky together, but get along good. I like that.
Man, sounds like everything else is the same at home, as usual. Haha, it’s starting to become the same on my side. I just don’t feel anything out of the ordinary anymore. You hear weird crap, scary stuff, but its normal now, and you know how to answer it, and answer it well. I love this mish thing. I’m more excited now than when I started my mission, and it makes me so happy. Love it. I know that this is true, and that if I keep pushing, even when it may seem like there’s not much time left, everything will turn out well, and that’s awesome. I love you guys a lot, and have a good week.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber

Madison,
Hey, he’s a good dude, I’ll tell him to do it. You gotta entertain him. Who knows? Maybe you´ll end up falling for that friggin mexican. Anyway. Cool about the Dixie scholarship. It could be really fun for you. And then I´d have a place to crash down there when I just wanted to hang out or something. I think it could be really fun. Maybe. Ok. Well, I love you too. Have a good week. Do something fun, but not stupid, yeah.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
Dear Brooklyn,
Hey, fun stuff about the SEOP week. I can still remember that, getting out early every day. How fun was all of that. Super. Anyway. I’m good, too, happy, and just doing all the stuff that I need to do and want to do, as well. Love you and miss you.
Dear Whitney,
Hey, how are you? Good, I hope. This week was fast for me, too, just like all of the other weeks, but I am still having fun and know that everything will keep being good at home, too. Love you and miss you a lot, too.
Dear Hunter,
Hey, yeah, go to church. I hope that you had fun this week, doing a bunch of things that you wanted to do. That’s always good, right? Ok. Well, I love you and miss you and want you to have a super good week.

Dear Family,
Hey, this week was interesting. First week as a zone leader. Learned a lot of new things, and saw some of the corrupt things of the mission. I have never even been near it before, but I heard some things I never would’ve even thought of here. Better left unsaid. Love my comp, but he is leaving tomorrow from here, for some reasons. So they are going to send me another one, hopefully as good as him. Some wickedness, but we all pass it. I’m just nervous because I don’t know the sector, like, at all, or the names of the limits or anything. It’s gonna be a really interesting change. But I know that I’ll be able to do it. I’m not worried.
Cool. That’s about that. Nothing else new. I’m super tired, just waiting for tomorrow. The letters just keep getting shorter and shorter, but it’s just like the same thing every day. It grows on you, and just becomes a part of who you are. Like when you ask a kid "What`d ya do in school today?" "Nothin." Something like that. Just the same ol, same ol. Ok. Well, I love you guys a lot. I know that what I’m doing is true. Zone leader is a different responsibility, what working more with the zone, but there still are baptisms. I know that I’ll be able to do it. Have a good week, everyone.
Love,
