So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the Mornin’

This was a good week. It was raining like crazy the other night and my shadow and I went a gas station to buy some food on our way home. There were drunk people everywhere. They were all asking me if I wanted something to drink, and speaking in broken Q'eqchi/Spanish/English and I wasn't even giving anyone the time of day. I just grabbed my food (flour tortillas and beans) and then I asked the lady how much these ''Panquecitos'' (little Hostess cup cake deals) cost. They were 7.50 so l said no, that's a rip off. Then this drunk guy got super mad at me and slammed the ''Panquecitos'' on the counter. HE was like ''EAT IT!!''... no I don't want it ''EAT IT!! I'LL PAY FOR IT!!!!''.... ok..so he bought it for me. Thankx. As far as STAFF goes, I had all the symptoms. I didn't go to a doctor, but I did go see Hna. Torres and she has seen it a lot, and when I talked to another missionary who had it, he described exactly what I had. I'm fine. Um.. Yeah my pictures are just on my memory card (which has recently been giving me trouble 'cause I used it in other peoples cameras so the formatting of the pictures is different). Today I bought a new memory, and I'm going to be nice to it. My areas good. I like it a lot. The only problem is my comp. seriously does not know what to do (nor do I cause I just got here two and a half weeks ago) so it's hard. I live with three other missionaries (I don't know if I already told you). We live w/the missionaries from Canlun 'cause they have to wait for their house to get finished, so I live with E. Snow and E. Chanchavac -he's teaching me Quich'e (his language). They're cool and we go on divisions with them sometimes. E. Snow and I found a really cool family a little while ago. That's pretty much what's going on right now in my life. I completed 15 months last week. The new mission president is Edward Wats or something. He's from Logan, Utah and served his mission in Argentina. I'm sorry you've been sick. Get well! ok. That's cool Michael and Lisa are moving to Turkey (doesn't only Michael speak Turkish though?) That's cool though.. Sorry, my life is lame too sometimez, but have a good week!

Pictures from Elder Martio's visit to Aaron's Mission

Elder Martino of the Seventy visited Aaron's Mission
These are pictures from Sister Torres' Blog

Happy Valentines DAY!!!! Oh, this computer is terrible!! Teleman is in between Santa Catalina, La Tinta and Panzos. I just saw a grown woman who I swear was no taller than 2 and a half feet tall. My area is cool. There are a lot of palm trees and watermelon. The branch here is super awesome. The people actually help us. We found a really cool family yesterday, and on Friday we set some baptismal dates with this super older couple. Tomorrow we're going to get them married, then on the 5th they are going to get baptized. My friend is cool. He works hard and is easy to get along with. I jammed my finger today playing volley ball so it's giant right now. We are supposed to write about being sick ,but since I'm getting better, I figure I'll tell you that I got STAFF infection and it was nuts. I'm fine now though, don't worry. Don't write hna. Torres. I met a Seventy this last week. Elder Martino. I also got to go visit some people in the capital in La Laguna. The guy elder Carlson and I baptized is getting the Melchizedek priesthood in like a month and a half. Anyways thanks for sending me stuff. 'priciate-it. Sorry I can't watch that video, but I'm sure it's good. Have a good week!

I pay homage to the best of 'em, like Christopher Wallace

Hey, so right now I'm in Coban (but just for zone conference) which, by the way, is very exciting 'cause I'm going to be able to see Elder Carslon (for the first time in 8 months). I don't get to see a lot of missionaries because of where I'm at. It's kind of sad 'cause I have so few people to do things with on p-days. Anyways, right now I am not Elder Smith's comp.; but what a do, I'll still see him a lot. I'm in an area called Teleman. Its super nice, hot, and there is everything to eat I could ever want. Our house is super nice and my bed is super comfortable. I really like my area except there are a lot of people who speak Spanish (problem). Well it's o. k., but I'd rather be talking to Q'eqchis in the mountains. One of my favorite families ever -from the capital (my old area La Laguna) moved to Teleman. I especially love this guy named Marvin, who drives a tuk tuk. We also had a baptism last week that I walked into so that was cool. I am trying to send you pictures but this adapter doesn't work right. In the pictures, Elder Larson and I are sitting in this thing with one of the kids that got baptized in our white clothes and it's super funny. Oh, I forgot to tell you my comp's name is Antonio Vàsquez. He's from Guatemala. He's a nice boy. He's in his last change so I'm going to ''kill him'' juno. Yeah we also had a lession with a kid named Amilcar and we set a baptismal date with him for march 5th. He's super cool A1000KR He's almost 18 years old. So I left this morning at 1 a.m. to come here. I'm super tired! We also had a zone activity today in Coban with the Senahu Zone. We went to these Gruetas de Rey Marcos. Caves. It was really cool (I have pictures) ((of which I cannot send to you right now). Sorry* I have some cool pictures. We had to rent boots and helmets with headlamps and it was worth it 'cause I hit my head like a hundred times, and I didn't have a flashlight. Oh, and I almost lost my boot 'cause of how deep this mud was inside. It was fun. Hey, sorry for the late happy birthday, Matthew--and Haittie mala onda 'cause I have a hard time remembering these things these days. I'm getting old. Hey, a 70 is coming to this zone conference so it should be good. We always get good food this day (tomorrow). I'm singing in the Spanish/Q'eqchi choir. Thank you SOOO much for sending me those PERFECT PUSH-UP's I'm missing them from Elder Smith. So it's cold in Utah a little.... yeah you should send some of that my way. Study hard for your ACT Chip 'cause I didn't and I should have. It will make your life easier (financially) but seriously. Keep up the diet Paul, and ignore the fact that the first three letters of diet spell die. Bingo is fun, and so is brick-breaker revolution mode on Sony Ericsons.

abounding love,

Aaron

Ya'll read King James O What

Hey, guess what? We had a baptism! Yeah, Maria Alicia, se bautisò. It went way smoother than I could have imagined 'cause we didn't have (well we still don't have) any water or power. She got confirmed yesterday, and it was killer. Um, I have hardly been in my area this last week 'cause I had to do divisions with Elder Norton and they had four baptisms this Saturday also. I went on a nice man date with Elder Norton at a burger place in his area. I love that kid. I also did a division with Elder Larson and we took some incredible pictures. This was a good week though. I almost got mauled by a bull, and I had to throw my backpack at it and run. My comp lost his agenda (an important thing) when he left it in the car of the man who gave us a ride to the Tinta (this town) today. Today I'm eating incredible flour /bean tortillas. I have a change and I'm really happy (as usual), but I think my next area is going to be very very cool. I'm excited, and looking forward to new people. Anyways, I'm going to try and send you some pictures, but this computer is really not working so we'll see. I'm glad you got to have a fun week with Rozzi. Tell me what's going on in da hood. Go skiing for me. Eat a snow flake. Build GUS.. k
much love

Hi. I am... FINE! How are you? This is the last week of the change. I think we might have a baptism this Saturday. We need to talk to President Torres about it. Oh, you have no idea how bad the drinks are here: K'AAJ, café de tortilla, corn tortilla coffie- this is my favorite and it's always super hot and is basically black gritty water (if it's not hot you should worry 'cause it might not have been boiled or it has been sitting out for a while). Q'EM HA', agua de masa, dough water: this is the most common drink that's given to us - its nasty and thick and there is always a not of crushed up tortilla dough at the bottom. CH'AM B'UUL, atol chuco, dirty corn: this is the worst, it is like thicker than oatmeal and its rotten corn that's been cooked in the sun for like a month, and it is usually served cold, also usually induces vomiting. I hate drinking things here. No one just drinks water. Right now I'm eating Hershey's kisses that I got in Cobán and they are amazing- We have interviews tomorrow. Today we played with water balloons. I didn't know what a Holga, was but that's cool. Tell Ben to send me some cool pictures. Happy birthday Ben! Sorry I missed the party but.. what a do? I can't believe Ben got an Iphone! What is going on? And you never told me you redid anything like the bathroom. That's cool. Elder Smith is good. I don't think I will be his companion in a week so. I'll pray to get someone cool.. I kind of want a Latino. I got Liza and Jeff's Christmas card and everyone was looking at it and saying, ''That is a BEAUTIFUL couple'', which is true. Oh, speaking of being good looking, and Elder Smith not being my companion, there is something that I would like... PERFECT PUSH UPS (the travel kind), 'cause Elder Smith has them and I have used them like every day and I am in love with them... There's one other thing that I would really like, a card game (BIBLE MEMORY). Hilary sent me Bible Memory when I was in the MTC and it has saved my life with Family Home Evenings! It is the only game that Q'eqchis understand. I tried to play LAJ SIMON NAXYE (Simon Says) and the kids just couldn't do it, and my comp won every time. But memory is super fun for people, and everyone always wants me to lend it to them. Anyways... I'm feeling kind of sick (probably 'cause I just ate this whole bag of Hershey's kisses). Tell Liza to send me some pics of Hawaii, and YES I want to go to Rocklin when I get home! kkk love AARON
