P. S. Thanks, Dad, for doing my taxes. Could you just pay my tithing for me, and then put the rest in my mutual fund (if it's actually doing well)? Mom, could you e-mail the blog address and my mission address to my friend Paul for me? GREAT!

I didn't tap a belly still I'm lovin' Machiavelli tryn-a reach the pinnacle and we will so be ready

LOOK! I got a freaking exchange AGAIN, and I'm so mad! I got moved to this place called La Laguna, and I want to die 'cause they told me right after I'd bought like 300 Q's of food so I couldn't really pack that up with me. Well my new comp is cool. His name is Christopher, and he's from Las Vegas. He freaks me out 'cause he sounds exactly like Taylor Giesler (his voice), and he acts like him too... oh, we were in the same group (he has the same amount of time as me) so we are each others' second trainers. The bishop's cool here, and his daughters are these little brats that really like me. I think I'm going to have another change in two weeks, luckily, 'cause this is really just ridiculous. My comp and I always eat these things called Pingüinos (they're like ding-dongs) 'cause they come with a toy. Right now we're collecting a puzzle of North and South America, and each piece has an animal from that area on it. So I guess what I'm saying is I'm eating really unhealthy. I don't know.... I'm kind of sad. My last area was gold. It was money. Two exchanges. I DON'T EVEN HAVE TWO REGULAR CHANGES! This is highly unorthodox. So I don't have a lot to tell you... we live by a Catholic church, and there was like a stampede of people on Sunday, (like 300+), 'cause its Semana Santa (holy week) which I hear is terrible 'cause everyone has school and work off, and they all go on vacation, and there are just a bunch of people carrying around statues of Jesus with a cross ect... I haven't got your letter yet, btw. Pres T is the man, but he is insane. Your confusing me with Curtis getting married or dying or whatever, but Gail Jordison wrote me and told me all the 4th Ward happenings. I really miss TIGER. Happy Easter. -baby boy Aar

Still kickin' with the footwork of Freddy Adu

¡Cactus juice! Que triste la muerte de Chase! That sounds really gross and sad, but I guess dogs don't live forever, right? Death. Black humor. My hand is healing, but my digestive track is going nuts. I don't know what's going on. So this week.... we baptized four kids: Aaron, Edwardo, Monica y Karisha. I actually got to baptize Monica and Karisha myself (they're like 13 and 14), but I'll send pictures home as soon as I get that letter from you. The kids we baptized are in an enormous family, and they all live in our area (los pinos, galilea, atlantico). They are all inactive except for their grandpa, who was the first person to ever serve a mission in Central America. I am in the capital (population mas o menos 13 million) and I want to leave! Whatever. I think I'll be out of here April 13th, but I don't know. I've been getting some amazing ties lately. The lady next to me has a dog on her lap. My friend has temper problems and it is hilarious, he says ''I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS MAD!!!'' I'm not even close to the mish home. I can't believe Dad took down the tree house! The first spring I get home, I'm re-building it with my new dog!
Sorry, that's all I got.
paz,
Aaron

I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.A.N.T. Do you know what that means?

The pictures are great! By the way Ben, I already bought that hoodie for Liza at Christmas. Girl scout cookies are really good, along with good company, good Christian friends, etc.. I honestly didn't know that I was putting off that mood (frustrated).. I'm not.. I'M DOING JUST GREAT. Ok..k yeah, Dad obviously didn't spend enough time with me, otherwise he'd be great at lying. (note from Gina: I wrote to him about playing a game Matthew sent us for Christmas, which involves making up the origin of common phrases, like at the drop of a hat, etc. Then the truth is guessed at among the fake answers. Doug was really good at picking out the true answer, but not so good at making up fake answers.) Jealous of the family get- togethers, though. Rozz is getting bigger. I guess that's what babies do. What the freak are Peter and Laura going to Tucson AZ for? Um... yeah that's cool that Paul and Liza & Jeff did that though... (Note from Gina: Eliza and Rozzi showed up on our doorstep "selling Girl Scout cookies" to surprise us. Paul, Eliza and Jeff worked together on this surprise.) This last week was cool. We got a ton of people to say they will be baptized, and we're baptizing these 4 kids on Saturday. This freaking lady would not take el Libro de Mormon from me, and I asked her '' You seriously can't read the introduction and pray about it? ITS ONE PAGE!''... "No, my husband is blah blah blah... ''freak!'' So I tore out the intro from the Book of Mormon in front of her face and gave it to her and left. What else happened?... I cut my hand, and there was SO much blood pouring out of the side of my hand... someone helped me out, and we got a new person to teach 'cause of it. My comp and I just argue about hip hop, 'cause he thinks anyone can do it and he's wrong! Um, there was like a cloud of vultures (spelling?) flying outside our house, picking out all the dead bodies people dump into the barraco by my house.. That's about it kids.

They Buy Me All These Ices

I live in a dump. This country is so full of garbage . This is karma hitting me for all the times that I left the house saying, ''I'm out of this dump!'' Seriously my house is surrounded by mountains of trash. This country will never progress. It costs 10 quets ($1.26) to have your trash picked up A MONTH, but people just dump it in the river. This country would be beautiful if it was owned by the US. Sounds like Peter and Laura's kids are about to embark in a really elegant life full of logs and flannel. JK, that sounds like a really happening party. Brother Sunderland would get 850 women all up in his grill. I'm praying for Chase and he will live! or else... or else you better have a new dog for me when I get home, or I won't come home. So my new friend is a tool, I don't like him. It's just been every other one is great and every other one sucks. So 2 days ago a member said something interesting to me ''¡f*** you!'' haha. I've been remorsing at the loss of my twin Elder Hunter, so I ate 28 oz of peanut butter w/a spoon. A gay guy sang to us in English and it was really hilarious and scary. I thought that I was going to get killed by this guy (chainsawface) that let us into his house (his name really was Jason). What else... ¡oh! I almost got kissed yesterday by this girl! She was like a half inch away from my face! I'm almost positive that I have fleas, by the way, 'cause I picked up this baby cat out of a pila (ghetto water thing)... you can use your imagination and just fill in whatever to all these open ended stories cause they''re not worth completing. kkk c ya drawoh noraa

I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl

I have a new friend,( probably for the better). He's cool though. He's from Colorado and he likes to mountain bike. Honestly, I don't know his name though right now... I heard Rosetta Stone works... maybe you should buy it for me. jk. I'm doing fine. ADAM, what IS YOUR NEW ART PROJECT?...and THANK YOU for your contribution to my outsider art (our sticker door). We're going to sell that thing when it's completely covered, for thousands of dollars and then redo our basement. I would like that talk in Spanish some day when I have a Latin friend. That is ridiculous (oh by the way saying ridiculous here is really bad for some reason). Ben's scooter got hit! But '' AT LEAST NOBODY WAS HURT!'' Thank heavens. Earthquakes are RIDICULOUS! I slept through a 5.5 the other day, so sorry if I die. All my district from the MTC went to Chile so they're probably all dead. I had a baptism last Saturday. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, someone committed to baptism 'cause I bought them a SNICKERS candy bar. Candy is the key to saving souls. K, so in this country for one quet (8 cents) you can buy a baby chicken (chic) that's dyed fluorescent pink/blue/green ect.. they are great. Every kid here has one, and they are treated like pets, I mean toys... and by toys I mean baseballs, haha. I might try and buy a few and just let them loose on our balcony. Also I have not been DREAMING. My entire mission I haven't really had any dreams now that I think about it... it's so weird, maybe it's 'cause I'm always having vivid flashbacks. Seriously a few days ago I had this flashback of going to Dick's Market with you (I was like 4 years old), and we're walking through the bakery and I went up to the counter where they have the cake and cookies and they had Sesame St. characters, dog bone cookies, and dinosaur cookies. and you bought me a green dinosaur cookie...
Anyways I like my new place. We have McDonalds so I've already gained like 30 pounds. LOVE YOU!
