How the mssion has blessed me

this week was pretty good. we worked hard, and found some people, and are working a lot with incomplete families...and they are going forward little by little... the cool thing is we found out that the father of a family we have been teaching all transfer was baptized like 30 years ago.... it was funny, cause we asked him why he never told us and he said nunca me preguntaron (you never asked)... and so, moral of the story, ask a lot of questions.... but it was funny cause then, after he told us, he really became a good help in telling his family to get baptized.... the bad thing is that the family went on vacation and don't get back till about 5 of May... so i wont be here but yeah... so that was a bummer.... but yeah, that's pretty much how things are going here this week... and the fact that everyone wants to give me food.... it's going to be cool... but yeah

so seeing how i don't know if this will be the last email i write in the mission field.... i figure i will just say how much the mission has blessed me..... and cause I'm like the reverse of the nephites... i don't express myself good, and so i write it down... and if nobody understands... oh well .lol....
for me the mission has been hard, cause it kind of goes against my nature..... for example i don't like when people get in my space or restrict me a lot.... I'm probably not alone... and if you don't believe me ask my parents.... but the mission has helped become more humbled, and realize that, when we do everything we can, God just does the rest. i saw that time and time again on my mission. it's actually way cool to see how God worked with me, a stubborn punk kid, with a lot of faults. and yet he used me and i had some success. just to make it short, the mission was truly nothing i thought i would have been but it was everything that i was promised it would be. Directed my life, helped me see what i can reach if i put my mind to it. helped me learn to trust in God. and all while i did it i had fun.. so yeah, i love the mission. and am grateful to everyone who helped me be able to come and be here. i love y'all and will see y'all latter...

peace out

oh ps. um thanks for all the letters... this week we beat last weeks letters amounts... lol... but don't answer back on this email, cause i think it might get deleted right away.... well, i have no idea... so yeah..

peace out again


so here are the answers to this week's questions, and very smart, make some essay so the letter gets longer...lol...

1. what movie won the Oscar for best film this year?
a. black swan
b. Toy Story 3
c. the king's speech
d. RM
Bryce: i know this one cause of all the signs they have for it here in mar del.... it's the discurso del rey.... or option c...

2. what would you like to do first
a. go to a movie
b. go to a game
c. go to the temple
d. go to a dance
Bryce: well i think the fact that we put the third option takes the fun away from the question, cause the temple is what i would like to do when i get home... but without the temple as an option i take, go to movie.....

3. what are your plans for the first month back?
Bryce: find a job, maybe work 2 jobs and make some money, just over summer until i have to go to school. but i honestly have no idea, how the first month is going to be... probably get used to it... but yeah, so if i told you a serious answer i would be lying....

4. how much do you think you will use your Spanish once you're back?
Bryce: i like talking in the language that people can understand me, so probably use it the same amount, i talk English here... maybe 60 percent English 45 percent Spanish..... i talk 105% of the time..... cause now i talk a lot... but i don't write a lot... so yeah....

but that's all i got to answers so yeah peace out

Getting close to the year mark

hi everyone, this week was good, it was fun, we were walking a lot and luckily we got to p-day, so i could rest... we have been having a lot of exito as of recently, which has been good. so we will see what we can do with that. but yeah, it's also been raining a lot.. which has been weird but nice cause it hasn't been so hot... well enuff of the weekly report update with the weather...

as far as transfers go, we will see, pres. told me or my comp one of us are going, and probably me, but one never knows...

also me and my comp, elder bills, are doing good. he's got me working hard and helps me focus, like any good son on the mission should do, so that's cool. um yeah about what's been going on, all has been well. we are dealing a lot with a new member who went back to his old ways, and we trying to stop him.. and then we got other investigators who are going, it's been funny cause we would drop someone then find someone else. so it's funny how God blesses us, when we try follow things by the book. i really haven't had a testimony of that so much, but now i do, the rules of the mission, are just like the other commandments, ways to receive more blessings, that's why, i figure anyways, that He always throws the blessing, but only a few have the castigo, sorry forgot what that word is in english (punishment). but yeah

so i almost have the year mark on the mission, and well, i have also realized 3 things, one my Spanish is terrible, which i really have no excuse for other than the dang siesta, the second is that i suck at teaching, that will come with time as we teach, and lastly that i haven't change that much personality wise anyways, which is cool, reminds me of a quote i got in a book. where someone told me to be myself, and i will find the people for me to find... and i can say i know that's true, there's a plan we just need to find our part, which is most of the time easy to find, and play it... but yeah

so thanks for everything, i love u all very much and u have all helped me become what I'm becoming so thanks...

ps. i will fix those things, at least the spanish one... cause i suck with it.. ok

peace out
