April 9, 2012

Dear Family,
Hey, I’m good, as usual. Still alive. There were changes last night, but I’m still here with my comp, Elder Vasquez, so we´re both pretty stoked for that. I sure as crap didn’t wanna leave. I think my last two changes they flip me out of here and put me in a different place. We´ll see. But I’m excited. We baptized on Saturday, almost didn’t go down, so much stuff, but it happened and we´re happy. The zone did well, too. Last month, as a zone, we only baptized 5, which is like grossly bad. But, this last weekend, we baptized 9, so we´re feelin a lot better, and hoping that we can end the month with at the very least 15. Hope so. The baptism went well, the changes were good, my buddy Aitken is still here, and some new people too that are freakin bombshell, so I’m stoked. It´ll be good stuff. Other than that, I can’t think of anything new. Just trying to find new people. Think I found myself another potential wife, but I usually like to try and say new and interesting things, not the day by day crap, so I’ll just leave that out.

Good about the things at home, sounds like everyone is moving forward. Hunter said that there are only 6 weeks left of school, holy crap, that’s weird. I don’t know what to say about that. Seems like I was just thinking about all of the time that would have to pass before I got back, namely, two school years and two summers. Getting down to that last summer. It’s been one heck of a ride. But that’s that. Services for the recently deceased, thats gotta be difficult, and all of the other things, too. Life has just become something so routine. It’s good, but almost bad. I don’t want it to become so routine that baptizing is just a business, almost which it is. I don’t get nervous or worried anymore if someone doesn’t say yes. Before, I would always feel bad and frustrated. I think its time to go hard again, find some new people. I know that I can do it. It can’t be impossible, can it? I don’t think so. Anyways.

Thanks for all of the updates. It helps me stay connected with some stuff going on back home. I’ve just been really like focused on how good a couple looks when the girl is in a white gown outside of the temple. . . . . . it probably doesn’t mean anything. . . . .or maybe. . . . . . . . . . . . ooooooooook, listo, anyway. I know that this is Christ´s church, I’m giving the opportunity of salvation to these people, and I friggin love it. Love you guys and miss you all.

Love,
Elder Jace Reber
