Dear Family,
Hey, I’m fine here. Working as usual, doing stuff. Haha, thats good. I’m glad that sports and life and all of that back at home is going all smooth and happy and well. That’s always good to know. Painting the house, weird, and changing some stuff, but I know that’s good. It´ll be a little weird, though. Apart from that, glad that everyone is well.
Had a pretty good week. They had a conference especially for Ecuador, and Elders Scott and Kristofferson spoke, both of which served spanish speaking missions. Elder Scott threw down hard on the (sanctidad?) of women, like them being good and stuff. It was awesome. Super appropriate for these people. For all South America, really, but it hit home. Tons cried. I did. It was good.
Apart from all that, I’m good. I’m still really trunky, but time is still passing by really good, so I can’t be that bad. We´re still doing work and trying to help people, and I’m really happy where I am. Its just sad to see that I’m not baptizing. I have to sacrifice finding people for the good of the zone, but God put me here for a reason. In the last like 9 weeks, we´ve only baptized 1, but we are going to this weekend, too. I’m just kinda frustrated, because we have no one in our whole program, and its kinda hard having it like that, but I just gotta keep pushin, I suppose. Whatever.
Well, I know the church is true. Getting to the end, seeing the finish line, all that good stuff, but just gotta enjoy it while I can. I’m not gonna lie, I’m excited to come back, why wouldn’t I be? I signed up for the two years, and now it’s coming to the end. I’ve done my time. But not all of it. Don’t worry about me. I will be excited until the last minute, but if I keep going on, God will be happy with me, that’s for sure. Miss you guys, looking forward to talkin to you all next weekend. Should be really cool.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber

Dear Family,
Haha, yeah, I’m having fun, within reason, more or less. Everything is good here. We haven’t seen too much stuff, but a lot could be our fault. We should, though, before the change ends, have 3 more baptisms, so I can be happy with that. Then just the last two, baptize 10, and come back a feliz guy. Heck yeah. Anyway.
This week, nothing different happened. Just passing time, as usual, things going on, trying to keep moving on. We have some cool people in the programs, and our zone is really progressing a lot. I think that we should see a lot of good things happen soon, just gotta wait for it. Pretty crazy to think Mother’s Day is coming up. Hahaha, I still remember Christmas, like yesterday. We are just waiting for it. Should be a real treat.
What else? Bought some stuff today, we went to Otavalo. It was cool, lots of like homemade crafts and crap and stuff. Fun, fun. Aside, I’m just happy. Talkin to people, just learning skills for life. It’s really good, and I’m glad that I came here. Apart from the spiritual side, the most important, I’ve grown so much as a regular guy, and that’s good. Well, the basics that I probably should have known before. Some. I dunno.
Well, I know that the church is true, and that everything that I’m doing here is good and will help me become better and come back to God. I lost like 3 tshirts, think somebody robbed them, and some socks, and a tie, but I’m fine. Bought another today. Small and simple things, whatever. Keep on back there at home, sigan adelante, don’t give up, don’t get tired, la noche viene ya. Love you guys and miss you.
Love, Elder Jace Reber
Pffft, hahaha, I almost forgot. So there’s a crazy girl in our ward, absolutely NUTS, and she leaves stuff in our house, life, comes up, comes to church and is way dumb and annoying, and she went to Relief Society yesterday, told everyone that she had a dream, and that God told her that I’m a prophet and that she should listen to every word that comes outta my mouth. Hahaha, so freakin crazy, but its awesome. Some of the photos are of me and my counselors, hahaha.
Oh, and I’m gonna send a package home with a present for Hunters birthday and maybe some other stuff, too. I would’ve to the other kids, but I’m stupid with ideas. I thought of something cool for the little boy, so I hope to send it out tomorrow or Wednesday. We'll see.
Hunter, Whitney, and Brooklyn,
First off, great job Whitney on the Patriot award. Don’t know what it is, but good job. I can’t believe that you guys only have 21 days left of school. That’s pretty crazy. Anyway. I love all of you guys, and want you to be happy, ok? Have a good week.

Dear Family,
Well, this week was good. Did some fun stuff, saw a lot of people in the zone that were able to come to church, and we have some other people with some possibilities of getting baptized, we hope. That would be good to help boost up the excitement in everything, I know that. We´ll hope. I’m not too worried, as usual.
Sounds like things are fun at home. People are a little bit sick, but that’s life, no? Trying my best not to either. Haven’t had anything really bad yet in the mish, that’s really great. Just in Carcelen Bajo when I took a nap there, but apart from that, nothin. Good, good. Lots of people getting married and coming home, too. More people that are my friends. Really weird to hear about. Next up will be James or Gentry, then Sam. Haha, oh well.
That’s about it for this week. I haven’t been taking a lot of photos recently. I am going to start to remember to do it, so that things will be funner and have some stuff to look back on, too. I love you guys a lot, and know that this is true. Times passing by, still, and it’s getting weirder and weirder every day. I mean, it feels like May is just around the corner. Crazy stuff. Ok. I know that church is true, having fun out here, and trying my best. Thanks for all of the support. Love you all.

Madison,
Cool about school and crap, that should be fun for you, I think. Things are running here the same for me. Can’t believe how fast April is moving, though. Like, way way fast. But that’s the way the cookie crumbles, as they say. Hey, how are all of the teachers doing there? Sorenson, Mrs. Duncan, Mrs Merrell, Hartley, Werb, who else. . . . . , I think thats about it, no? Sanders was a good guy, and I think those are all of them. How are they all? Good, I hope. Tell friggin Monty to write me. Tell him "20 months?!" Gosh, friggin guy.
Hey, well, that’s all for now. Times going on, just trying to stay focused. Its hard, man. Love ya.

Haha, what’s that whole "get lost until the end of your mission?" Just shut up, yeah? Nah, just joking, but I’m trying. Things are starting to look up. I was pretty nervous about the changes, but that’s all kinda back to normal, stayed here, with my comp, doing stuff, good stuff, so that’s happy. Whatev, I’m trying, and I feel good, so yeah.
Anyway. Going to Dixie. You realize I’ll probably see you like 3 days before you have to go down and live in the south, right? That’s weird to me. And I promise that I can’t sleep in your house there. They won’t let me. Maybe I can sleep in Santa Clara. I’m basically the golden grandchild now, for going on a mish and being hot and worthy and hot. Ok.
Hey, well, that’s good about the excitement at home, means people are still thinkin about me. That makes me happy. Hey, love ya lots and miss ya have a good un. Everybody loves the missionary. Soooo many girls have been giving me the look lately. I think I am even better looking than I realize. .........K, bye.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
Dear Whitney and Hunter,
Easter weekend, that’s really fun, no? I bet it was. I didn’t do anything, but we got changes. I’m still here, though, so that’s good. I hope that you guys had a lot of fun and had a good time. That would make me happy. I love you both a lot and hope that you enjoy the rest of school.

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.

Dear Family,
Yeah, everything is good here. This week is a lot better, should have a baptism this weekend, 2 the next, the zone has got tons better, and should have an excellent month. It goes good, then bad, then good, then bad. That’s the life of the mish. Anyway. I’m feeling good, just trying to stay excited in everything. I think that I can do it. Anyway. Its the last week of changes. I don’t expect a change, but you never know. It’s kinda dicey, what with it being so few now. I suppose anything can happen.
Sad about the deaths. Especially Aunt Barbara. Never knew her that well, but do remember when she would take us to school. That was nice. Good times. Fun about the bowling thing, too. I would, every time, watch a movie at 3 in the morning, eat an entire ice cream, and like 4 sandwiches, haha. Fun stuff. Can’t do that no more.
Lots of hard stuff at home, but it’s always easy to remember that God loves us for the things that he has given us, no? For family, friends, being able to have the spirit. It’s incredible the hope that someone can feel just by listening and searching for that. I have seen so many people changed, more than I ever thought possible that someone like me could do, and it is just so good. I know that all of this stuff is true, because it’s not possible that it couldn’t. I love what I am doing here, no matter how hard it might be. I love you guys a lot. Keep praying for me. I’ve talked with Elder Aitken, we´re gonna fly in to St. George, just so you know, and so I can get it outta my head, haha. Love you all.
