Make Me Believe Ya

So, the worst thing that could have possibly happened happened. I didn´t get a change, and I could just die. So the most interesting thing that happened to me this week was this crazy Mother's Day activity that we helped out with. Our Bishop is insane. He put on this dinner for all the mothers in our ward, and he always plays Lady Gaga at all the ward activities, haha. He also hired a mariachi band, like pure ranchero crap, sombreros and everything, so it was pretty much the most ridiculous church activity I´ve ever seen. The other thing that happened this week is I tried for the first time a Guatemalan delight called chucos (dirtys) - they are these hot dogs, the buns are fried, they have guacamole, cabbage, peppers, cilantro, onions, mayo, ketchup, and a lot more dirty Guatemalan food, but they are really good and I ate like four of them on Saturday and just about died, (because they are so good)! Anyways, not a lot is happnin´around here. Just trying not to jump in front of buses. etc.. Oh, but our family went to church again which is sooooo good! There isn´t a lot other than that. Thanks for sending my sd card and everything. Sounds like everyone's having fun, especially Ben on those 3 am freezing rain scooter rides. Adios, love aarn danil howad

Sup my family? It's your boy lil "a". So this week was good! We had a ton of ward activities. Last Thursday we watched "the new Joseph Smith movie". Friday we had a talent show, and my DL and I did this skit (el mas importante) se llama ok, and we just had all these papers on the stage set up, and my DL was just yelling at me the whole time, "Where is it? Where is that paper??" I'm freaking out throwing papers all over the place trying to find this paper for him, and then he finds it. He pulls out of this bag a roll of toilet paper, and runs off the stage. ahahilarious. Then on Saturday, we cleaned our church and ate nachos. I played basketball and killed. Um, we had a barbecue today and um.., the only other interesting thing that happened was that this paper factory lit on fire and then burned to the ground like 100 meters from my house. Then the voluntary firemen showed up like an hour later to put it out. It was crazy though. I have never seen a fire until this one (which happened on .. Friday?). It was insane. Anyways, thanks for sending me the pics. I love 'em! It's good to see all your your faces. Speaking of which, what happened to your begota (mustache) Ben? Liza's hair looks really cool in that picture w\Adam and Rozzi. I'm glad you got your Mother's Day card, and I'm glad Peter and Laura will have room in their house for me to come stay with them. I might be speaking 'quet chi next week. I'll let you know. k, love arn hwrd

Party like a Rock Star

K, so talking on the phone was really great. It was great hearing all your voices, especially 'cause it had been the longest time that I hadn´t talked with you (Mom) Dad, Adam and Ben (four months). It was great talking to Peter and Laura, too. I talked with my bishop last night and he asked us what was the hardest thing about leaving on a mission. I told him that for sure it was leaving my family behind (especially Chip). Then last night, I just looked at my pictures from home and ate a ton of chocolate while my "cousin", Elder Primo, talked to his family. So you are MISSED everyone. So other than that, the only really interesting things that happened this week were: two people got shot in front of our church, we got our investigator family to go to church, and we lost the 7 year old daughter for like 3 hours and so I was freaking out. She was found at her uncle's house. Today we went to the temple. The temple was better 'cause I can now understand and speak fine. What happened is, the sessions are really small, ok, and they give you these little numbers to get into the sessions 'cause they can only hold like 24 people 'cause it's so small. Anyways, what happened is that Elder Falabella (the first quorum of the 70) was in my same session and also President Clark (second quorum of the 70). So all the temple workers wanted everything to start on time. Anyways, I forgot my number deal and so I ran back to my locker to grab it out of my pants, and in my rush to get back I forgot my packet, so long story short, I didn't notice until half way through the session, and I caused a long ruckus for two members of the 70, haha. I think that's all I can say about that, if that. So anyways, have a great week, and tell everyone hello that I couldn't talk to. Thanks! LV ARN DNL HWRD

´´We´re taking it for the kids!´´

Oh, so the the man with the the four thousand dollar suit is going to hold the elevator for the guy that doesn´t make that much in three months. COME ON! k, so thanks for the advice, appreciate it. My companion has been a member for his whole life and he has a car and I don't think he's that poor. His dad makes really nice shoes that cost a pretty Sol, and Latinos are not usually the ones trying to be the ¨super missionary¨. ´They just have a ton of pride. Anyways the only major thing that happened this week is that we had interviews with President Torres yesterday (which is why I'm writing you today). I´m senior comp, now and my comp isn't very happy.... that what's up. HEY, I´m going to call you at like 7 or 8 at night (so like 8 or 9) on Sunday (I think), and if I don´t, expect a call Monday o.k? Also I´m sending your Mothers Day card mañana, so expect something in like 3 weekishs and porfa send my micro sd back asap 'cause Ben's 4 gig micro sd card that he traded me, that didn´t work for his little mp3 deal, is HD so it also doesn´t work in my camera (genius Aaron) O.K., umm.. I think that is all. Oh, could you also find out my ´´confirmation date porfa´´ when I was baptized, 'cause apparently I need this to fix my ldsmail or whtev. FYI I draw every missionary something (at least the ones I know and like) and probably a fourth the time I draw something during lessions and I ALWAYS draw in church! 'cause Guatemalans are so interesting!! Oh, I just remembered something else. We had zona conference and Elder Falabella of the 70 spoke to us. It was pretty interesting, and we had the conference in my first area so there was like an hour and a half break between meetings, so these 2 missionaries and I went around and talked to some members (the ones that would give us food). It was great! k adios family HEART arn
