Genuine brilliance or innate madness- Yeah, we all spin on the same axis

How am I? Great. I am great. I broke the house record. 1278 consecutive jumps w/the jump-rope. Elder Snow, Elder Hexem, and I had a jump off, and I won....2 quetzs. Awesome, right? I've been feeling a little sick, but nothing really serious. We had district conference yesterday.. It was good. I did divisions in Ch'ulak again and I skinned a pig. It was DISGUSTING. I have a video of it, a little bit. My companion went on a division to Canlun and I stayed in Teleman w/Elder SNOWdawg. It was awesome 'cause we found this guy's house that just came to church last week, and we taught him lession 1. We asked him if he liked the church and everything, and he told us how he had been going to all these other churches, (his wife was going to the Grace Rain Church, some evangelical church), and then his heart just told him he needed to go to the Mormon church. We set a baptismal date with him, his wife and his kids. AWESOME. He has 5 kids but only three of them are getting baptized 'cause the others are too chiquitos. Soo that was awesome. I can't believe there is another Pirates of the Caribbean movie! That's so weird... as well as Esther getting married to someone that lived in that house. K, thanks for writing me. Appreciate it.
Love Aaron

My furs a Mongolian, I let all the goalies in

I'm tired! I seriously go to bed, then wake up the next day not feeling anymore rested than when I fell asleep. I don't know if I'll survive much longer! Especially with chainsaw-murder drug lords on the loose!! Right . 27 people dead. I wouldn't worry about that here though. This place is super, super laid back. There is nobody rich enough to even own a chainsaw. I'm glad you got that package. That's so nice of that Ryan! I just threw in tons of random stuff that I wasn't ever going to use here. So.. yeah... Um this last week was zone conference and interviews. It was super good. I did a division in CH'ULAK and set two baptismal dates. I committed a guy to baptism on the phone oh... and to marriage. AND HE ACCEPTED. This guy is just gold. Never having talked to the missionaries there in CH'ULAK until yesterday, where they taught him lessions 1,2 and 3. I'm going up there to meet him and do his baptismal interview on Wednesday, then he's getting married to his girlfriend on Thursday, baptized on Saturday, and confirmed on Sunday. Super nuts. I also ate at this mine camp up there (Canadian owned). It was delicious!. So, we hired a truck and went up to ch'ulak for a zone activity today and ate some amazing chicken and patatos and rice with like plates of fruit and really good rolls etc... buffet. Super good. It was really fun, and I would send you some pictures but this computer is so bad. So, Rozzi likes the leopard... must be DA SPOTS! right.. Yeah we really need to update those wall pictures! Adam is like 6 in his picture hahaaha. The zoo sounds really cool. That's one of my favorite places to go. I'm glad you didn't have to talk about me in church. Sounds like there are some youth with somethin' to say. I'm always careful, FYI. Um... I don't know what else to say... I'm sad 'cause FOUR of my companions are leaving soon. Elder Legua, Elder Turek, Elder Gonzalez, and Elder Lara. Some of my best friends in the mission are leaving. I hardly know anyone in this mission... so yeah that will be weird.
Anyways, have a GR8 XAMAN (week)!

Oh ** I'm trapped in da closet

K, so this is what is up. My companion and I went to Elestor last week and on the way back we were hitch-hiking, and we got dropped off by a bridge, We crossed a river over a metal pipe (it was scary) haha. Hey, and then later we got a hitch-hike from a guy named Ryan Allred. He served his mission in Polochic like ten years ago and was just visiting. He offered to take some stuff home for me, so he should be coming by the house any time this week or next with the following items: My blue Nike kicks, my nasty H &M hoody, a Book of Mormon that I read and marked, a brand new EB' LI XB'EENIL RE NA'LEB' LI EVANGELIO, um..my RVCA pants that I've never worn my whole mission, a hand made bag (that's black), an orange paper wallet, three mission plaques of mine, some pictures of my companions and some other random missionaries (go ahead and look through it). There is an additional picture that you are to give away to some girl and have her write me, and set me up with OK? But only if she's cute (the one that is not in the photo album) .... Um, oh yeah, there are some brand new true religion jeans in there for Eliza, if they fit her, if she wants them... and then the ties are for the boys. There are a lot of corte ties (really sweet cloth, and the only expensive thing that people have around here). So keep your eyes open for this guy. He's super nice! Thank him for me! buena onda, So I almost died trying to cross a river, but everything is good, don't worry. My entire backpack fell in the river and I got soaked getting it back!!!! MY SCRIPTURES!!! freak!!! Crazy day 'cause I had to go clean a house with Elder Dilworth...of some dirty things... I did a division with him.. I love that kid.. I'll send you a picture of him. Oh I was going to ask you if you ever had your Mom pow-wow, and if so how did it go? We had conference today.. It was good. President Torres said some funny stuff... he pretty much talked about getting married and having a billion kids 'cause ''if you don't have more than four childeren you are not replenishing the earth.'' He also talked about how the women have to nourish children. ''If my wife ever said I dont feel like cooking, that would be exactly the same as a man saying I don't feel like going to work,'' he said. Hahaha oohh man, President Torres cracks me up some times.. I don't know if my mission would be very fun without him 'cause he's just a character. I guess I'll see though. He's ready to go though.. he's let us know like a billion times..we sang that song '' We are as the army of Heleman, we have been taught in our youth'' (in q'eqchi'). That was what I organized for the conference, way better than talking!! It was cool. anyways yeah, give Eliza those jeans if she wants them...I'm going to bring you some more bags and stuff, and if you, or anyone, even want they can tell me the colors they want on a bag and I'll get them one made... they're super cool.
Check it out.

k, love Aaron

What's up? The wedding looks amazing. Be sure to tell Curtis congratulations for me! It was really good to hear all of your voices as well. I'm sending some pictures 'cause I'm in a place with really fast internet right now. We didn't really get to do a lot this week 'cause we went to the capital, and didn't get back till Thursday. Our family that we were going to baptize... um hasn't been truthful, and didn't come to church so we're going to take a break with them 'cause they aren't doing their part. We went up to Ch'ulak to do an interview, and I had to haul up a box of LIX HU LAJ MORMON (copies of the Book of Mormon). I don't know if you know this, but the Lix Hu Laj Mormon is like three times bigger than the Spanish Book of Mormon (which is an inch bigger than the English Book of Mormon. Basically what I'm trying to say is I carried a 40 pound box up a giant mountain, and the box almost broke because I was sweating so much it was destroying the cardboard box. Church was good yesterday. We had a lot more people come. I already told you that we had a really cool lession with our branch presidency...um .. what else? IDK, it was really good to talk to everyone. Tell Peter, Laura, and Matthew hello since I didn't get to talk to them, but none of them are mothers yet... and some of them never will be.
k check it.
Love lil A'ron

Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody With these responsibilities that they entrusted me

This week was crazy with changes 'cause somebody changed the system and messed everything up (a lot of time lost). Um, YES I want to call you this Sunday. I was thinking I could call you in the morning first.... like 7:30-8:00 and then we'll set up a time...to talk ... like maybe 7 at night.. you know..? Yeah, my comp is Elder Hexem. He's a nice boy. My change won't be as crazy as it was with Elder Legua, but it'll still be good. Elder Hexem is from Rexburg ID, and he's a machine. He ran a mile in 4 min 36 seconds!!! We've been running every day so far, and I'm dying, but it's good, I think I'm going to get some protein in Coban tomorrow at GNC, 'cause we're trying to get ripped. Our family didn't show up to church!! again... so ... we'll just pray and keep working with them.. I'm running out of ideas. What are you going to do with Liza, Rozzi and Matt? Is King William's wife cute? Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Some member texted us at like 5 AM (Elders please come to my house it's urgent!) so we ran over there and her ex-boyfriend was there DRUNK. He had his tuktuk (three wheel motor taxi) so we just got his keys and drove him home. It was pretty funny. My companion and I found a pretty cool cave in our area and some iguanas. IDK what else... not much tranquilo.. juno? Hey that's super cool that Jeff is surfing in El Salvador. I feel good though, Mom. Don't worry about me. I'm eating my broccoli and tomatoes etc.. I'm getting continually more tired, but whatever... I'll live... I have no time these days for myself, but it's better like that.
You kids have a good week, k?
Osama Bin ladin was killed
