HEY, Happy THANKX GIVVINNGG...Oh, hey, thanks for the PACKAGE. I was just too anxious, and so I opened it, and woh whow jk jk jk haha. Hey, so that's cool that everyone bought all that food for three inches of snow. Ahah, I wish it would snow up here once in a while. Sounds like a good Thanksgiving, especially with Cranberry Sauce and Chris. Sounds like that "Swedish brand" is taking over our home. 16 year olds should be driving up to Alta! That's how you get them to be good drivers... and skiers. K, so lately I've been insanely tired. Yesterday I just passed out after church on my bed. Then we were working, and I was like ''I need to eat something, I think ,so we went and found some mandarin trees. We sat down in a Coco bean forest and ate some mandarins. Then later, on the way home, we went to this member's house (Joseph Marry). We had to hike up this huge mountain, and we were both just dying, so we stopped halfway up and planned in the middle of the road. It was a good week. We had a lot of lessons with members (4). (That is more than I had during an entire change). Hey, so my comp is really cool, but he makes me homesick 'cause we're always talking about home. My current favorite CD is David Archuletta's Christmas Story, or what ever. You should check it out. He sings in Portuguese, Italian and French... It's good... Anyways, here's a picture of Elder Smith and me wearing coordinating ties. Cute, huh?... I'm currently reading Gospel Principles in Q'eqchi, and it is incredible and funny. I found these Mayan heads, and they're pretty pretty.. pretty cool.. I was also going to send you a package, but my companion sent a package like 3 months ago to his girlfriend, and it never got to her. I really don't want the things I've got for you guys stolen, so you might have to wait for a while... Sorry. k k that's what's up.

k l LOVE you

TEACH ME HOW TO JERK! WHAT

That is tragic what happened to Scott Davis, and I hope his family understands that they will see him again. That's hard though. Death is a really common thing that one doesn't think about until it's near. The closer the proximity, the worse it seems, even though it's all just the same step from this life to the next.

Sorry for writing you a bunch of Q'eqchi casaca I was just a little bit enojado 'cause I'm in this ridiculous place again!! Hey, but my comp's the man, haha. I asked him (as we were walking by a field of pineapple) ''Hey, how do you think they harvest pineapple? Do they just put on a big sweater and gloves?? ('Cause pineapple plants are really prickly) and he said, ''Well they just dig them out of the ground with a shovel or something!" Then I was like....'' Pineapples DO not grow underground.'' It's been really rainy around here though, and crazy muddy and my comp has almost died like 5 times. He slipped down this HUGE hill, and he bounced off his butt then skied down this 50 degree slope and then grabbed a tree and was on his feet again. In less than 2 seconds he dropped like 20 vertical feet and it was incredible. Then, like two nights ago, it was super dark and I went down this really steep part of the trail. I was standing at the bottom, and I was also shining my flashlight on the trail. I said, ''Don't worry. If you slip, I'll catch you.'' ...He slipped, but I caught him. I'm having a good time with this kid. He's my first comp that is actually good at singing. His voice is just like Will Ferrill's, and so's his personality haha....

Hey wait, Cami is turning her mission papers in?... and Nate is the same person that she's been dating since I was in the MTC, huh? Hey I miss snow.... did you know that?... I live in a cloud, and we have nothing......but I'll be in Cobòn on the 7th so I can get stuff from there.... Mom, you know you can take another class for free, you just have to wait till next semester. You should go back to school, Mom ,and study architecture with me so we can carpool and help each other on each other's home work. k. k. That is supper cool that Ben is learning the Mandolin,
kk I
love you
thanks for
all you do

Dis missionary got a year, ha!

Where'd you go? I miss you so, so come back home.

Hey, GUESS what!! I've been moved back to SANTO DOMINGO!!! MAS RA INCH'OOL INK'A NINWAJ NAQ WANKIN ARIN WI CHIK MOKO US TA CHINEEKAMSI CHINEEKAMSI B'ANUHOMAK USILAL MAS MAAKEB' LI KRISTIAN ARIN INK'A NEKE'RAJ AB'INK LI RATIN LI YOS ARIN!!!! Unbelievable. Hey, but check it, my last comp go ROBBED!!! I almost did as well!! So when we had changes, I was almost certain that I was going to go to this one area and so I almost left my suitcases in the Sacsuhà house. But in hope that I would have had a change the other direction of Polochic, I brought my bags with me... and it was worth it!!! 8 people broke into the Sacsuhà house and they stole E. Gonzalez's Ipod, like 2000 q's ( 250 dollars ), a bunch of his clothes, a clock that was there... etc. so I lucked out rightssss? k so I'm back in my hood but whatever. I don't care. My new friend is Elder Jordan Smith and he is like the best thing that has happened to me. He's from Lehi and he has the most serious girlfriend ever (with whom he has a wedding date with April 28th 2012). So with him being an old football player quarterback, whatever, he's getting me like 10 cheerleaders writing me haha, and he's like straight out of the missionary mall so anything that I would ever need he's got and I can use. I was actually going to ask for some ''perfect push-ups'' push-up handle deals for Christmas (because I do push-ups every day, and it's like my fourth grade teacher always said, ''Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.'' -Mrs. Crismer). But he's got them, so I'm good. Last night I was outside of the church, and there is sidewalk all the way around the church but grass in between the church and the bathroom/shower, so I thought that there was going to be water in the grass next to the sidewalk so I started to run to jump over part of the grass, but I didn't see this log that was on the side walk so I jumped and totally ate it cause my stupid flip flop caught on the log. It was really embarrassing, haha. kwhelll whhat helse do you whhhhant to know abhhout my life, wHHiskey?

I'm goin' to conquer the worl, but first I'm a win the heart of that girl

HEY, so I think I have a change... GOOD THING.... YES, but a la vez no. 'Cause I really like my area. My comp really doesn't get it, being a missionary that is. I don't really know what to say, I'm out of ideas. Thanks for the package. I'm sure my future comp and I will enjoy it. Hey, so today we played wiffle base ball and I hit a home run! Yes. kkk, seriously, I don't know what to write. I bought some really killer black levis from a guy underneath a lamina pavilion for 2 quetz..... I don't know what to say. I'm hoping this next change will be off da hook. Mom, I'm in zone POLOCHIC duhhh. Hey, are you guys going to do anything cool for Thanksgiving, or what? Oh, and is Ben going to the U or SLCC ? I forgot...It's hot here today, but yesterday it was freezing! They didn't even turn on the air conditioning in my church yesterday. However they did try and make me give the Sunday School class (which is ''Right out of the question'') along with asking us to talk and bear our testimonies, 'cause no one esle would <-- my comp and I did that... but the church is soo unorganized here. I guess they are finally going to officialize the name of the church in a month or two in Q'eqchi (pronounced kek-chi will sound right). k, well I'll keep my eyes out for your package, but thanks for everything! much love laj Aaron

I'm lookin' for a dime that's top a da line cute face lil wast w/da big

Sup? So, I forgot to tell you that we went to Chulak last week, and it was really cool. It's this area that just opened up, and there are like 250 people that regularly attend church. They just redid the chapel up there and it's crazy huge. It's the second biggest chapel in the mission, and you have to ride on the back of a cattle truck for two hours straight up hill to get to it. The seats are even padded! Seriously, it is way nicer than our church (at home), and I can't imagine how long it will be before all the pews are just soaked with mud. ajaj The church was built so big 'cause every member is a full tithe payer. Another crazy thing is that there are mandarin trees everywhere, and the mandarins are sour and small, but those of the members are huge and delicious. Today I'm in Elestor and lovin' it! Our baptism went GREAT! I was amazed that everyone showed up. It was a miracle. It was an even bigger miracle that we found baptismal clothing for everyone. We went to every area withing 3 hours of Sacsuhà (where I am) to get everything. We baptized 4 eight year olds, 1 nine year old, 2 eleven year olds, 1 14 year old, one fifteen year old, and one 52 year old. We only baptized one kawachin (man)(boy), so 9 Relief Society(Primary). It was crazy though. I was worried about the lady (Rosalina) and her two kids, 'cause I didn't know if they would pass their interviews. I asked my zl how Rosalina did, and he told me that when he asked if she knew who restored the church, she didn't know, so he held up a picture of Joseph Smith and asked her if she knew who it was. She told him, ''I don't remember his name, but I know he saw God and Jesus Christ in the forest." So it was really cool. I baptized 5 of these people, and my comp baptized the other 5. I confirmed one of the kids in church, and that was cool. Anyways, sounds like Adam got lucky with his wallet, and Happy Birthday, Dad ayer and Happy Halloween.
k check it pues. aj aaron
