First baptism interview

well, this week has been very interesting.

a lot has happened and it's all kind of funny. so we will start with the most important..... the house. what wound up happening is that the mission office told the immobiliaria (realty), that we were moving and they offered to fix the problems, so as of right now, we are not moving. but as the week went on, the dude who wants to fix the house called and said he was coming on Monday, and so me and my comp stayed in the house so he could come... here comes the funny part... the immobiliaria told the guy to start the work and they would pay him after a day, and so he did that.... then, Tuesday came and the guy still has no money, but comes and still works a little bit, then leaves and says he is not coming back until he gets paid.. and so now we lost the house that we had found, and we are stuck with the old house, but now there is a huge hole in the wall, in the kitchen... it's really funny.. and now we might need to find a house again.. i don't know but it's funny for us...in a very annoying way. but anyways, it makes me laugh a little.

then, also this week, i gave my first baptism interview, it was funny cause there were like 3 people in the interview, and so yeah, i guess we are supposed to be alone there, oh well i didn't know...
but it was weird cause after the zone leader was like, how many people were in the interview, i told him he laughed and told me what i should have done... but ya paso.

OK and lastly, about the area and the work, yeah, the best part. we really haven't had any success, it is kind of like olavaria but richer, and nobody talks to us, it still makes me laugh how people cross the street to not walk by us, then we turn around and they are on the same side as us again, but yeah.

just trying to make the change from the areas, it's a huge difference, and here in the ward most everyone is older, which makes it harder for us. but we will figure it out, the other day we stopped at a bus stop to talk to some people in general, see if any of them would be interested, they ignored us.. but yeah that's the life. we will figure out how to change it. I'm still looking for my family of 7 so yeah. we will see where it all goes... we will have success cause there are a lot of people and so there are a lot of people that have questions..... and we have answers, so yeah.

but yeah, that's pretty much it, it's been weird here so yeah it's going to fun.. oh by the way, just so y'all don't freak out p-day next week will be on Thursday, cause we have zone conference on Wednesday

but yeah, thanks for the love, the support, and all the stuff y'all have given me.. i love y'all and miss y'all....peace out

Finding a new house to live in

hey y'all, it was a very interesting week.

as far as the work here, we haven't had too much time to work cause we were told we needed to find a house by this Friday. so me and my comp have been doing that the whole time pretty much this week. while passing by some investigators that we already had.... but anyways, about the house, the house has no gas cause somebody reported to the gas company that our house wasn't up to the company's standards and so they cut the gas... we think it was the lady who lives under us, cause she doesn't like mormons, but not important. so we don't have gas or in other words no hot water, no cooking, and no anything with gas... and the mission mom doesn't like her missionary sons to bath in cold water...funny story about this coming up.... but anyways so they said we need to focus all our time to find a house.

but yeah, now the part mom will like, to warm up the water we use an electric water heater, and then use a cup to pour the water on us, but yeah, anyways with this electric thing, well, lets just say i wasn't used to things like that, and put my hand in while it was plugged in and got shocked... yeah it was funny, my hand was twitching for like 2 hours and yeah i finally know what it's like to be tazzed... not that fun.... I'm actually leaving out some details cause don't want mom FREAKING OUT BUT ANYWAYS IN THE END I'M FINE, and of good health.... so funny story right there for u all.....

but yeah, yesterday we got the house, so hopefully we will get in soon. I'm just happy to go back to being a missionary and not a cheap house hunter in beverly hills...... cause the area is really expensive, and the church is really cheap, and people just don't like us, those 3 things made it fun to find a house but anyways...... that's what i have been doing..

to answer some questions, my barrio is caisamar, north east mar del, the part under santa clara. but right now we live on the avenida constitution, and rout 2... around there...

now about the district, there are 6 of us. 3 yanquis, 1 mexican, 1 peruvian, and a argentine. so yeah its a good district.... really. as of right now don't like it cause i like to be chill, kind of like let me do my thing and i let others to their things, and in this like 1 and a half i have had the cane drop of me like 2 or 3 times already... but yeah... stuff happens for a reason, and it's really what we learn from what we are given. so now we will learn as a district. but yeah i don't want it to sound like I'm complaining, cause I'm not, I'm really happy, i just want to go back to finding people not houses.... but now i can so right on....

alright um yeah... so i think that's what i will tell y'all for right now....

i want to say congrats on all the weddings, it sucks i can't be there, but yeah es lo que hay... and for all the birthdays i have missed, sorry and happy birthday to all...

alright peace out love you all... oh and send me emails to this address: bryce.taliercio@myldsmail.net the other one doesn't work anymore.....
cool peace out y'all

Letter to Jason and Amanda

This is a letter Bryce wrote to his brother Jason, who got married in the Mesa, AZ Temple on 3/12/10. The letter was read during the ring ceremony later that day:

NOW THE MOMENT U HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

MY AWESOME WEDDING LETTER THING CAUSE I’M THE BEST MAN!!!

Well, I guess today is the big day that Jason and a man duh are finally getting married. Can’t say I’m really surprised it happened so quick... they must really like each other.

But as I was writing this letter I was thinking if I should make it funny, or if I should be serious. Then I realized I needed to ask my comp how to spell serious, and so that answered my question. So here we go.

I don’t know if u all know how Jason met Amanda, but it is really a story of love, hate, and death. But since I’m sure they didn’t tell u, I will tell u all the real story. But for sake of people’s feeling and stuff, I will change names so u don’t know who is involved. So Jason, we will call jay, Amanda will be called a man, and I will be called nobody.

So it all began when jay was playing wallball with his friends, then nobody came and everybody left.... cause everybody hated nobody. That was except for jay and a man. Then nobody said it would be awesome if jay married a man, or at least they should go out or something.

And like always, everybody listened to nobody, and so jay went out with a man. but there were some problems, jay was already dating another girl, who was an Indian voodoo woman, and a man was dating some tall dude, and nobody had a girlfriend, so it was a crazy love triangle of sorts, where nobody was better than everybody.... but anyways jay dumped his girlfriend and a man dumped the other dude, and in the end nobody won, cause he was with his girl longer...

but anyways what happened is tall dude and the crazy Indian voodoo woman joined teams and vowed that nobody would be good enough for them, but nobody said no and they fell of the face of the earth...so let’s just say that’s how that went down, for sake of time... but if you are all wondering about if this story is true or not... nobody knows...

but we are all here for some reason or another, whether it's free food or for some reason we just like Jason and Amanda... it’s a big day for them

So now the big test, do I approve this marriage............. drum roll ..............
...... .......................................................................................................................................................................yes, and as the real head of this family, I say welcome to my family my new sister in law, and I say be happy. Wish I could be there but the mission president said I couldn’t so u all can write him a letter.

So now we have come to the end of this randomly useless letter, but I want u to know I love u all especially Jason and a man duh, and don’t worry I will be back in about a year to bless u all with my presence. And I want a new nephew

ok... stay chill and be cool. Peace out. See u all latter.

ps. I want u to remember nobody cares about u.... = )

ok Jason and Amanda i wrote this part like 2 days ago, and this part is going to be 100% serious... so y'all are getting married and starting a family, just remember the importance of that.. Alright, our family is pretty much one of the very few things we take with us after this life, so don’t mess it up. alright?
.... now with the first part it was a joke, well the parts that are obviously a joke. so yeah, I really am happy for y'all, keep to and once again seriously, want to have a new nephew from you guys. ok?... and so yeah, best of luck.

oh and hey write me i don't care if y'all are getting married it's been a while since i got a letter from either of u.... so love y’all. ok peace out now

love your bro Bryce

District leader in Mar del Plata

so we just got transfers, and conclusion is...now i'm in mar del plata norte, caisamar area.

my comp is a mexican, Elder Monge, de chiwawa. dont know how to spell that. but yeah, and something even funnier is that I'm district leader now too. It's funny cause im getting all this stuff that i really wouldn't like to do, like this, i like to stay chill and not have any worries, but i guess for now that's not for me. but yeah so that is the way transfers went..

as always after transfers, i think if i left the area better than when i got there, this one i think so. not really sure actually.... now that i think about it i probably will never know, me and bills left it with a lot of investigators, and 2 fechas so we will see how that goes, hopefully it goes well. but yeah...

so my new area is kind of rich so i will need to get used to really big houses and stuff, but i'm excited to see what the Lord has for us to do here,

im also killing my comp, cause it's his last month and a half of the mission. but yeah.. so yeah that was transfers,

pretty much the only really big news was that for transfers i took a 12 hour bus ride from santa rosa to mar del plata, with another elder sleeping on my leg, i kind of wanted to hit him, but I'm a nice guy...

anyways so this is the really big week, everyone is getting married so i hope that everyone enjoys it and that y'all have fun... while I'm here in mar del... jaja... but seriously best wishes.

so yeah peace out y'all

Earthquake and writing the letter for the wedding

sorry this email will be short, i need to spend time typing something else,

but to answer some questions, about the earthquake, some people said they felt it, to be honest i was sleeping, i didn't even know till some one told us. so yeah everything here is all good on that front. heard it was pretty bad though, but not too sure. but yeah. stuff happens.

as far as the week, it was good, the past few days we have been working hard and we got two people who are good to go, o sea fechas, just need to take them out,

also transfers are this week so we will see what happens, it will be fun, i would like to go back to olavarria if i go but im not picky for now.

so that's the big news for me here, um, i guess this week is really big so happy weddings to everyone, cause there are 3, o sea to jason and amanda, don't forget about me, a guadalupe y olivia felicitaciones, y tambien a isreal y karen. recuerda que el evangelio es el mejor cosa para las familias.

y yeah sorry for the short letter need to do something else, oh yeah thanks for the packages, and the love love ya all...

peace out.
