Mom,

No offense I didn't really like getting ready for camp week... especially when I had to make those book things hahahaha! The package came today and after writing we are going to go and get it!!! Dont worry about when you send it, and transfers are in 2 weeks... hahaha. Lorenzo is the same, everything we tell him doesnt seem to affect his decision at all.... but we will keep trying. He does still take notes, and yes we get "potential" investigators almost daily through contacting, but very few actually stay. Soccer is still going good, dont play every week cause we dont usually have a ball now. Well the shoes we bought are pretty much boots... hahaha and only one of my pairs of pants has ripped and I am going to ask a sister in our ward to sew them back for me :) hahahaha. We havent gotten the new fridge & fans yet because we need to wait till the beginning of the month when we have money. The President is awesome! He is very nice, spiritual, and really does love everyone of his missionaries. He just seems a bit of a numbers guy to me. I would send pictures but the thing is I need to hurry because I dont have money to pay for the computer so I have to it fast so I dont have a lot to pay next week for two times using them.
My week was pretty good, Just the usual stuff until Friday. Friday we had a training from 9 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon. It was very good, we practiced on how to make commitments and how to make sure they actually do them. Taught us a better way to ask to be baptized and stuff like that. We would get a talk about the subject, a demonstration, and then all the missionaries would practice on each other what they learned. It went really well. Then from 6 to 8 the assistent to the president (Elder Hernandez, who is the trainer of Elder Gutierrez, so my "grandpa") went and taugh with us. He is awesome and bashed Elder Gutierrez because he is starting to really slack off, which means I was starting to too. But we had a talk (I talked he listened) about what we really need to be doing and how we need to be doing it. Those three things kinda woke him up and we actually started to do what I thought I would be doing out here. We had 31 contacts and 4 lessons on Saturday. It is the first day I have had over 18 contacts and that is pretty bad. Then we had a Stake council on Sunday and once again made big plans, we will see if we do them because we didn't do anything with our plans last time. I also kinda bashed our ward with this too after we made all the plans because they were just saying big things (same as last time) and werent really planning on how to do them. So I told them that unless they are really willing to do these things don't put them down. Also that we are going to be having a meeting with them where we teach them how to use Preach My Gospel. It should be good.
Well Sounds like Jessica has been having fun, How many numbers did she get from EFY? hahaha Where did the stinking story come from that Kenna sent, I maybe cried a little bit (I have turned into quite the baby since the mission started) hahahahaha
Well thats about it, continue to have fun and be safe. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Love Buddy :)
