Taggers and Axle

Mom, we aren't working with anyone. No one wants to listen to us. I'm getting used to people lying to me. On Tuesday I ate some really great Nicaraguan tostadas or something, IDK, but the next day I was SO sick. We had district meeting and I almost died. I threw up and was so weak I couldn't walk and I had some crazy fever and a lot of other things, but I got a blessing and the next day I felt better. Ummm, I'm getting really tired of my comp. Um.. I don't know... we had a bbq today with my zone. Um.... I'm fed up with this area to be perfectly honest. I'm glad you got to visit Disneyland, Hoover Dam, and the beach. That's really cool. I want to go more places in the States when I get home. Oh, we get to talk on Mother's Day! The 10th of Mayo! That's something to look forward to. lOve Arn

Yup in a white T I break a b back and I keep a big bank o I think they like that

K, I am SO jealous that you are going to Disneyland, and I don't think that I can emphasis that enough. Hey, so I don't really have anything to say. The coolest thing that happened to me this week was that I drank out of an enormous tea cup at my bishop's house. Um, my comp is insane and seriously, he likes to cook so I eat like a Peruvian every lunch (which is pretty much just rice, fyi). Um, I built a foundation, for someone's house that is falling into a canyon, out of tires and dirt. I might have already told you that, but my district worked on it more this week. Um.. pretty much the only people that we have to teach in this area are kids cause adults won't listen. Um, for p- day we played dodge ball and rode bumper cars today. There has been some insane rain around here and other than that nothing's up...... Happy Birthday, Peter (what the heck are you and Laura doing, porfa?) Um... volley ball with the Gelders, always a good time. Anyways, let me know how Disneyland goes. Don't crack your head open waiting for Splash Mountain, otherwise you won´t remember how much fun you had. k adios love SON NUMBER ONE.. or fourth.

I ain't a player hater, but I hate to see a player die.

Holy cow! What are you talking about "nothing's going on"? I can't believe you are going to Disneyland! Adam in California, Grandpa and Grandma in Zions, and Matthew in China and Moscow! That is something! Yeah, that's cool. Hey, that would be cool if you sent me some stuff from Cody's blog. I'm sending you my taxes back, and my micro sd card in the same place you put it, this week, so you should be getting it in 3-5 weeks umm.... What happened this week?... Well, last Monday after I wrote you, my comp and I went to this shop where you can print out any sticker you want, any size and any color. They just edit it for you on photo shop, and then it's printed off and cut out with a laser -pretty cool- I bought a K2 sticker, but while we were waiting, this guy came up to us and was like "hey do you guys like to sing?" me - YES. "Well, could you help me out with the pronunciation of some songs really quick?" YES! O.K. So we went in this sticker shop (all the stores are barred shut by the way) and went up- stairs to the sweetest Karaoke music studio set up ever. This guy is a singer named Rigo or something, but he just had us sing this one song, and he was like, "O. K., here's my computer and here are the other songs I have lyrics for. Shoot immediately I saw Ace of Base - The Sign, best thing that has happened to me (other than bringing people unto Christ)! My comp picked a song by Aqua.... I'd rather not say... Nervana, Smells Like Teen Spirit. We tried to sing Hey Jude (Beatles), but it was in Spanish so it was super weird, and the last song sang was Beat It-Michael Jackson cool. So that was cool..um there was a crazy hail storm here and we almost died cause the hail was like NO JOKE marble sized, but it only lasted for like 20 minutes.... I'm trying to teach this guy named Victor, but it's hard 'cause he thinks he's already a member of the church, and he never comes to church, his wife can't walk, he lies, smokes and drinks. He's just insane, and I'll just say anything to him without shame 'cause he'll probably forget it two minutes later. He told us he quit smoking and then, like 4 hours later, we saw him smoking again. So on Friday, I just took his pack of cigarettes from him, asked him how many times he smokes a day (he said four), and I told him O. K. this week you can only smoke two times a day, and I'm writing on each cigarette which day you can smoke them. That's what I did, but we'll see what happens. There is this super cool guy that my comp and I contacted the other day. He like let us into his house and showed us his sweet music studio. His name is Douglas Flores and he's a music producer/artist. He's a super young evangelica singer guy so we probably won't be able to convert him at all cause he pretty much is the Church, but this guy produces like a ton of music (from Guatemala and the US). He showed me some sweet Jesus hip-hop (Josh Macosh - Life) and he tried to get me to call you 'cause he has a thumb drive that you plug into your computer and you can call anywhere in the states for free... but I told him I couldn't. Anyways, we had our baptism on Saturday, and our guy didn't know how to take the water so he tried to dive over the guy's arm that was performing the baptism and it wasn't smooth at all. Um, I met this super cool kid named Anderson, and he wanted a Bible from us, but I told him the Book of Mormon was better and he took it and started reading it in the street for like 5 minutes. I asked him if he wanted to go to church with us and he did, so we took him and his mom let us, and then we took him to eat lunch with a family after church so we might be able to baptize him. I met a kid with a really cool puppy named Rocky...We had change conference today and my new comp is from Peru. His last name is Primo (which means cousin), and he's really cool. I don't really know that much about him.. he likes to cook, he has really cool music (like Iron and Wine), soccer, volleyball. Um, he speaks a little bit of q'quechi 'cause he was in Cobon for a long time... and he's been here for a year. Das wuz up. RN HWRD

Get down girl, go 'head get down

So sorry. I haven't switched to THE NEW myldsmail.com, so I can't get on my e-mail. Conference was ten hours of solid fun. The area that I'm in right now is the worst. I feel like a mouse in a maze, and I don't feel like we are getting through it at all. I'm really praying hard that I'll get changed next week, but we'll see. Um... we're going to have a baptism on Saturday - Don Rigo - he's an elderly man. Conference was good, even though I was getting super anzty sitting for so long. Our district ate Dominos Pizza and I think it made me sick or something... yeah so I got super dehydrated and yesterday was really crazy. Um, what else is going on in my life?... I'm trying to buy a second Rolex from this older guy in my ward. This is what the streets of Guat are like - they are busy, with really old cars that spit black smoke, and pollution is out of control. Red Mercedes buses blasting hip-hop, people on the sidewalks selling fruit {like chopped up pineapple, mango, papaya, watermelon, etc..} Little kids shining shoes, crappy little clothing places with other stuff like jewelery that will break as soon as you pick it up. There are red and blue three wheeled taxi cars {tuk tuks}, regular taxis {here they are white and black checkerd Hundi hatchbacks}. All the bad fast food restaurants in the US are really expensive here, so they all have delivery motorcycle people {like Wendy's, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Mcdonald's, etc}. There are like four different types of police here, distinguished by their color, black, green, red, white. The black ones give us rides {they all drive black Toyota Hyluxses which are kind of like a Mexican Toyota Tundra} green ones direct traffic and get people in trouble, and I haven't really seen what the other ones do. There are little stores everywhere where you can buy any junk food you would ever want, (drinks, tp, dog food, beans, pretty much anything, including these little beads that grow and are like clear jelly marbles, they're really popular actually). Drug stores, little crappy internet places, Pollo Camperos {Guatemalen original KFC}, tire shops, ice cream shops, frozen banana stands {fav.} and most of all, TRASH, TRASH EVERYWHERE. This is where I live and minus this situation, I like everything. But I really want to get out of here - hugs and kisses, your son, Aaron
