Hello Mum!
Love you lots! My week was great! I had my first zone class as a zone leader and it was really cool! Honestly being a leader is hard but it is really rewarding as well! I've been really blessed with this opportunity. It just leaves you REALLY tired haha because we don't get to bed until LATE! I know Heavenly Father will help me as I turn to him for guidance! The zone conference went great too! I really learned a lot listening to President Jordan! He really is the best mission president ever! On P-days we do pretty much what you do at home on Saturdays. We clean, buy food, cut hair, write home, rest haha, get everything ready for the week so we can focus on working. My companion is doing good! He's been a little sick but he is doing better. He has been really helpful to me and he is awesome! I'm really fortunate to have him as a companion! Thank you so much for the package, if it's not to late could you send a small laminated version of my patriarchal blessing that would be great.
Tell Troy hi and that I really miss him! Tell him also that he is an awesome brother! The army is lucky to have such a great doctor as Jeremy, thank him for his service. Tell Aliya good luck and I hope she wins! I'm sure she will do a great job. It is cool Makena and Riley are both in plays. Tell all the kids thanks for making me cards for my birthday and that I can't wait to read them.
We had a pretty cool experience! We were riding on the bus and there was this lady that was like 20 something years old and she kept looking at us during the ride. Before she got off she came back to us and handed us a note and 20 pesos! The note said: You can do it! Don't give in! It was a really neat experience, but we have know idea who she was! Whenever I see mothers I always think of you and I do my best to help them so you will be proud of me. Thank you so much for your letter Mom! I love you more than all the pages in all the copies of the Book of Mormons that I have given out! Love you best! Thanks for being the worlds best Mom!
Love you to infinity and beyond and back again!

Hi Dad!
I love you! I'm really grateful for your sense of humor! You always make me laugh and for that I am grateful! Thank You! When you were on your mission was there only one zone leader or were there 2? Did you ever have any leadership positions? This week was a little bit harder but really good! I had another great experience of listening to the spirit and finding someone who wants to know more! It was well needed because that day wasn't going so well! Being a zone leader is hard though. I want to do things perfectly but I know that's not possible... I don't want to disappoint my mission president or the Lord either. I want my mission to change me and I'm trying to let it but I don't think I'm doing a very good job at that. I want to be more converted and committed but it seems like something always gets in the way. What advice do you have for me? Well we only had one investigator come to church last week. We should have had three to five but I don't know what happened. I'm trying to do the best I can to help these people come. We didn't find as many new investigators this week but in this coming week we are going to have miracles! You would be amazed to see how things are over here. It seems like whatever person can start their own church can and it's from God. A lot of times I feel like I can't explain things any clearer to the people we teach but they still don't understand. I don't know why it's like this. I'm going to try to have the spirit more this week and see if that makes the difference. We still visit the people with the daughter that died but I don't think they understand very well. As of now they don't seem very probable. Yes it really is hard trying to do everything at once. We have been failing a lot in our own planning for the day and for the week and that is something I want to change. For the others to follow the example I have to set the example! I really want to turn this area around. It's also been super hard getting up on time these last few days. I've been getting up about 10 minutes late sometimes because of the toll the work has taken on my body. I'm trying my hardest to get up on time and this week I will do better! I feel like I have to be perfect every second here and even more so as a zone leader. I have really high expectations for myself . Thank you so much for your help Dad. I really appreciate it. I have a question? Is it possible to repent of every sin we have ever committed? Thank you so much Dad! I love you lots and I'm so glad you are my father! Love you tons! Take care of yourself!!!!

Hola Mama! Te amo!
Well this last week was super interesting. I had my first leadership training meeting with all the zone and district leaders and I also had my first mission leadership council or concilio. The concilio is when all the zone leaders and assistants and President and Sister Jordan get together. We talk about the direction the mission should take and how we can better our zones. It's really cool! Let me just say we ALWAYS have something to be doing! We never rest! I'm grateful for all the prayers. I'm trying to do the best I can :D We have been really blessed here and we have found a lot of good people! We are just battling in getting them to come to church on Sunday! Yes I remember it's Meg's birthday and will send an email. I am so glad that Troy is going back to school, tell him good luck.
The Dog in the picture I sent last week isn't ours haha. It was the neighbors who also happens to be our landlord. They had their dog on the patio of the house where we live. Also the picture of the video screen is on a bus and don't worry I didn't use or even touch them haha. I'll be sure and let all my former companions know that if they are ever in Arizona they are welcome to stay at our house!
Well as zone leader we look a lot at the numbers of the zone and we do divisions with other missionaries. We also make zone plans and teach classes and a whole lot more. Pretty much we do whatever we can to help our missionaries to grow and achieve more success. No I'm sure all the other zone leaders are a lot more handsome but thanks! Thank you so much Mom for everything! I'm really blessed to have you as my Mom! I love you more than all the sons in the world love their Mothers! Keep being awesome!
Love forever more

Buenas tardes papa! Te amo mucho!
Hey I hope you are doing well! This last week was super awesome! I was able to attend my first leadership training meeting with all the district and zone leaders. I also attended my first mission leadership council! It was super cool and I learned a lot!:D I also did divisions this week with an Elder and we found 6 new investigators in one day! It was awesome! The crocodiles you asked about don't get super big, I've only seen one or two but it's rare. Well I want to get a picture of some. I'll try and get a picture of one before I leave the area. The apartment is nice! It's small but has AC and it's nice and cold! I really like it here even though when at home we spend most of our time in our room because that is where the AC is haha! The water is like luke warm but sometimes it is cold. It's really nice to cool down with. We don't have a heater here and I don't think we will need it. My companion and the area are great! This week only 2 investigators came to church but it's really awesome because we contacted them my first week here and they came that Sunday! That is the fastest I've ever seen someone come to church! They like it and I'm sure they will be baptized! We have been finding a lot of investigators though and they are all nice! We had a really cool experience last week where we saw a lady carrying some groceries home so we ran over to her and helped her and we talked with her and we found out her daughter had died. Some priests had told her that her daughter was doomed because she hadn't studied the Bible or something like that. We had a really spiritual experience sharing the plan of salvation with them and they are super interested! Yes we go on splits a lot but it's fun! Just one thing that worries me is being strictly obedient. I'm not bad and look to break rules I'm just trying to be as perfectly obedient as I can but a lot of times I get frustrated and sad and I feel like every single little mistake I make is like the worlds gravest sin. I'm trying to get over that and be confident and firm in my obedience. Would you have any tips for me Dad? I feel like I've gotten so busy that the spiritual experiences don't happen as much and the revelation doesn't come as much now. I'm trying to fix that! We get a little bit of extra money for traveling but not much. Thanks so much Dad! I love you and miss you! This week we have our zone class that my companion and I teach and the zone conference with President Jordan. Have a great week Dad and take care of yourself! Love you!
Love you semi loads!

Hello Mom!
Love you lots! Sorry I won't be able to write much this week! Being a zone leader means you are super busy all the time! But don't worry it won't be like this every week haha. Thanks Mom I'm definitely excited but I highly doubt that I'm the best lol. There are tons of missionaries way better than me! One of them is my companion. He is super awesome and we are working great! Being a zone leader is a lot of fun! Could you send a cheap CTR ring for my companion and also we have an idea to give out CTR rings here could you send some of the green ones in a package like you did last time? I'm so glad Bryce is doing so good, the language will come! I'm so glad Ty is getting ready to go. Let me know where he goes! Yes lifting buckets all day was great, it wasn't to far. The well was just outside at the front of the church. Satan will try to stop the Lords work but he won't win! We will not let him! Happy early anniversary and Happy Birthday to Meg's! Don't remind me about my birthday, I'm going to be old! I'm sure we will still be companions by the time the package gets here. If not I can get the things you send for him to him easy. The area I'm in is super close to the beach. It's really windy here and there are a lot of lagoons. Also we have crocodiles! I saw one the other day. They are pretty big! It's definitely a lot cooler here than in Mante. Tell brother Koga I say hi! I love you so much Mom! Thanks for your support! I am doing great and all is well! Love you more than all the miles I have walked!
Love forever

Thanks Dad! I love you!
It really was a great experience baptizing the family. I know others will be baptized! I'm so excited to be working here! Although we had to carry the water from outside the church to fill the baptismal font, it wasn't to far. The well was out front of the church and we had to carry it inside. Yes Satan does try to stop the Lords work but he can't!!!! I didn't let him!
Now where I am at is super close to the beach! Actually the beach is in our area but we can't go there. My area is really fresh. It's windy and a lot less hot than Mante. It's a little hilly too and we have a lot of lagoons and crocs!! Krikey! I've been able to meet a lot of the members and they are super great. Church was awesome! We only had one investigator come though. We were able to find a lot of investigators this week. I had an awesome experience on the bus the other day. As we were driving I offered a couple of seats to some ladies that were standing and something really cool happened! I saw that throughout the rest of the ride several men got up and offered their seats to women! Preaching by example!!! It was super awesome! Yes my area is clean and safe haha. People are very friendly here too! My companion has about the same time as me haha. He doesn't talk much English but I'm teaching him. My companion has about 6 months as a zone leader. He will probably be changed in the next transfers. When I got here there were a few people progressing. We are going to baptize every week and as of right now we are on track to do it! I know a lot of the missionaries in the zone. We teach the zone class at the beginning of each month and we also have mission leadership councils every month with president and the other zone leaders and the assistants. We do a LOT! We almost don't sleep! It's great! Thank you so much for your counsel Dad! I will follow it! I love and miss you! Have a great week and be safe!
Love
