Monday - Missionary Update

Another Monday when the whole world comes to a screeching halt while I await "the email". We have figured out what time he gets on and we've been making sure we are on-line as well. We then can have brief "conversations" via email. LOVE IT! He couldn't spend too much time today, but it was great to hear from him. (reminder - original spelling and grammar left in)

Parents,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE, 30? 32? THAT IS GOOD DAD, YOU ARE STILL YOUNG!!! I AM SURE THAT YOU GUYS GOT SOME GOOD PLANS TODAY AND HOPE THAT TODAY WILL BE AN AWESOME DAY FOR YA!!

Wow thank you guys so much for all of the picutres that you sent me! There was a lot, but i loved getting all of them. Some of them i couldnt see very good, but some of the others, but perfect. I forgot that i hadnt sent you a picture of my new companion haha its that, we dont have anything pictures together hardly haha if you couldnt imagine. My christmas was awesome! They do it way different here. It is not very big here and is basiclly for the little kids, so its not like our huge celebration and we have tons to do. Haha its kinda wired. But new years day is HUGE here and again, we are going to be with that same family for new years! I am going to buy another memory card today because i could take some of the pictures that i wanted to take yesterday. I was going to send you guys some good ones, but i didnt have any memory. Yesterday we went to a members house to eat lunch. He lives on a farm and was way awesome. got to see and touch farm animales and go down and throw rocks into the river. It was aweosme, but of course i couldnt talk any pictures. I will get that fixed today.
Dad i am cool with puttin a DVD burner in my comp, but honestly i was thinking about getting a whole new comp when i get back, and if tuffy wants, he can have that comp. That is what i was thinking.....so i guess that you will have to ask him haha.

This week was really really really long, i am not sure why, but it was really long haha. this week should go by pretty fast, there is not a lot going on, new years day, and nothing else. I am going to send you dad, a package home for your BDAY! You should get it in a bout a week or so i think..... I hope that you like it!

If i could ask of a favor....there are some kids here that just got the mel. preisthood but dont have the thing to hold the oil cause you can only by it in Santiago, and its expensie.....So what i was wondering is if you could send me three of those things? If you cant that is okay, dont worry about it. if you get the chance also, a triple would be sweet.....haha sorry for asking is just that the HMA that we just baptized doesnt have one.. :( Anyway if you cant, dont worry about it. If you could, i think that they write on the book for freeee, the name right? If you could put the name: Barbara Virginia Riquelme Puga.

techincally, i do have 1 year and one week in the mission, but i wont get back until the 30th, or i mean, i will serve more than two years haha! i guess that it is a good think that in the misison that you cant get extensions, or i dont think that you would be too happy with that haha.

All things are going good in the hood. I am sure that you guys are going to be on, so go ahead and respond if you would like!!! I love you guys and miss you!!!
