Special Experiences

In this week's letter Elder Jaramillo shares a special moment he had.  He was hesitant to share it because it was very personal and meaningful for him, but he decided that he would share it because he hopes that it will touch some of us the way it touched him.

Letter from a tired missionary

Elder Jaramillo finally found some time to write to us this week.  Short as it may be. 

 

 

Also this week we get some new pictures.  The Picture page has been updated. 

 

Enjoy.

 

Experiences of a Missionary in Mexico City

Only Elder Hoots could tell a story like the ones below.  Just imagine him telling them with a "dude" between every word and you will laugh.  Finally, we get some stories about the actuality of living in Mexico City.  Experiences like this will help you grow up fast.  haha.

If you haven't already, please try to send out your handwritten note to Hoots.  To get to Mexico in time for Christmas, they should probably be sent next week at the very latest. 

Thank you for all your support.

New Companion, New lessons

Haden got his new companion this week.  He seems to be happier with it than he expected.  Either way, he is doing the smart thing and looking at the positive and learning what he can from each new experience.

Also this week he finally sent some new pictures.  There aren't very many, but better than nothing.

Finally, I want to encourage all of you who read this blog to send Haden a handwritten note for Christmas.  He gets a lot of emails and comments every week, but I think it would be cool if he got a bunch of Christmas cards in the mail for Christmas.  It's his first away from home, so every little bit would help.  Doesn't have to be a novel, but just a short note to let him know you are thinking about him will do a lot to boost his spirits.  His address can be found on the Contact Info page.  Be sure to put enough postage and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks again for all your support.
