Hey Fam,
Yeah, it was awesome talking with all of you guys. Time just goes by too fast! But it's great to hear all of your voices and hear a little about your lives and what's going on at home.
It sounds like everything is going wonderful at home and you guys are all staying busy which is good! That was cool to be able to speak spanish with Dad! It's really amazing how during this past change, all of the sudden Spanish just got really easy and I can just talk with people it's so cool! Oh I never thought that there was much of a difference between accents of Spanish but yeah, dad doesn't speak like Mexican Spanish he definitely learned in Spain and I'm sure I totally speak like a Mexican! haha! I was going to give you a demonstration of Chilango but I forgot! It's just Spanish but they speak in like a sing songy voice it's pretty fun! haha!
That's cool that the car is getting painted! I bet Dad is excited for that! Well I'm off to go get my new companion I hope he's sweet! haha! Well guys take care! I love you all tons!

Family,
Sounds like everyone is doing good! I'm glad to hear that. Sorry, I don't have a ton of time to write, but I will give you a couple of quick details of the past week and today!
Well,. we actually were able to leave our house, but couldn't contact anyone so what's the point of leaving the house!? But we decided we would visit inactive members and help people prepare to receive the priesthood which was cool!
Today we went and played soccer which was a blast. A sad thing happened though. Dad, remember when I hurt your wrist really bad from shooting on you!? Was it broken!? Well, my zone leader was playing goalie and I shot it, not super hard and well I think I broke his wrist! (We found out on Sunday it was sprained, not broken, so sorry elder.) oops! But he seems to be doing fine! Don't worry it wasn't Elder Romney it was the other. Also our ward mision leader came and played with us and he is a huge soccer fanatic. He coaches for the third division of pros here in mexico and said he would contract me if I wasn't a missionary! haha! I guess that means I still have some skills! haha!
Ok well the most important part. On Sunday I will be expecting your phone call at 5 o clock here time which I believe if I'm not mistaken would be 4 o clock your time. If there are any questions call me!!!!! hahaha! No, but you can send me an e-mail and I'll check probably Thursday or Friday morning. If you need to adjust the time I think we can do that just let me know.
Well I love you all tons! Keep up the good work! Oh I still haven't recieved the birthday package, but we haven't had interviews or zone conference recently, so who knows it could be in the offices waiting! Thanks so much for everything! Take care! Love you guys and can't wait to hear your sweet voices on Sunday.

Family and others who care about me, haha
Well first, sounds like you guys are staying nice and busy at home which totally makes me jealous! Why does it make me jealous!? Well, we are on house arrest I think that's how you call it! We can't leave our house because of this stupid flu thing! So Mom don't worry I don't think I will be able to buy any of that stuff to help but I won't be coming in contact with people so I should be safe!
Yeah, we did sneak out to send you guys messages because, well, there is a possibility that we wont be working this week. They told me yesterday that we have to stay in the house the whole week because of this thing and well until further advisory! Yeah imagine sitting in a house with three rooms (bedroom, something of a living room and bathroom without TV or anything entertaining) for a whole week straight without leaving. Yeah, it started Saturday and we are on Monday it has been the longest weekend of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the schools and churches are closed and can't have meetings! We don't even have sacrament meeting! But our Bishop gave us permission to go and give the sacrament to some of the widows of the ward. Don't worry we went with a member in his car instead of in a micro or combi! But yeah until May 6 (my birthday) the government restricted all types of activities where there are large groups of people! People can't even go to the soccer games the games are played without fans! It's crazy so if we were to work this week, well, we wouldn't be able to take anyone to church but it looks like the working thing wont be happening!
About the earthquake, we didn't feel anything. I'm pretty far from actuall mexico city. . . I think. But well I'm doing fine Mom no need to worry. The Lords work will carry forth there is nothing that can stop it! Tell everyone "Hi" for me and tell Bryson Happy Birthday! how old is he going to be 15? If that's the case "WOW" hi is getting old! haha!
I love you guys! Take care!

Hey Mom and Family,
This week was pretty good! We are teaching tons of different people and teach a lot of lessons each week which is great! But, man. It's so hard to get people to go to church! Some people are so lazy here and really don't like change so it makes our work harder. But hey, what would I learn if everything came to me super easy. It's during the hard times that you learn the most. I´ve definitely been learning a ton about the gospel these last couple of weeks that I´ve been here! I feel like our bishop knows everything so whenever I get the chance we throw in a little chat about a gospel principle or something that I have a question about and he helps me to understand it better it's so cool! I´ve come to realize how much I really don't know about the gospel and how much I still have to learn, but it's awesome. I just have this burning desire to study every morning when I wake up and again when we return to the house at night its awesome!
Oh so I had an interesting thing happen this week I went to take out the mensualidad for the week and forgot my pin number not thinking I just kept putting in my card and trying a different number well after the third time the cajero ate my card! It's a 500 pesos to pay for a new one but don't worry that's not the charge you received! Well we went to La Comida at our ward mission leaders house and it just happened to be that his brother is jefe of the bank so he called his brother up and told him to open up the cajero and get my card out! Man was that such a relief! Also this week we were going to go to the temple but our ward mission leader had to get his recommend renewed and didn't get it renewed in time so looks like we´ll be going this Friday which I´m so excited!
Oh also I had to give a talk in church which was awesome! I used tons of scriptures and was able to explain most of my talk. It was really cool how I did it! I think most of the ward was really thinking about what I had said and the importance of it!(My talk was missionary work with a focus on baptism) At least I hope they were thinking about the spiritual message I had given, and not trying to translate my Spanish! haha
Mom I just want to tell you thank you so much for your little thought! Really this week has been kinda hard but I´m really starting to realize the importance of the gospel and living the commandments in our lives!
The Gospel is something REAL not just something we always talk about, something that if we really apply to our lives we will see the blessings!
Well I love you guys so much! Keep working hard and i´ll do the same!
