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.

Three's Company

This is last week's letter.  I didn't have a chance to put it up until now.  He hasn't written a lot lately, but he has been writing the family and we are happy to report that he is doing really well.  He loves his mission, the people, the area and the work.  Although he is excited to be home in a couple months, he is also sad to have to leave the area that he has grown to love so much. 

We get to talk to Elder Hoots next week and we are all very excited.  I will report on how that goes.

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.

 

Elder Hoots Update

Although Elder Jaramillo hasn't had a lot of time to write a letter to everyone over the past couple weeks he has been checking in with his family.

I exchange personal emails with him every week and the one thing that I can tell you is that he is very happy.  He loves the area he is in and he loves the people that he gets to teach every week.  His lack of letters is not because he is having a hard time, but the complete opposite.  He is having such a good time that he gets so busy and hardly has any computer time.

We appreciate you continuing to keep him in your thoughts and prayers and appreciate all the support everyone has given him.  I hope to have an updated letter directly from the man himself next week and maybe even some pictures.

Crazy Six Weeks

Elder Jaramillo finally had some time in his busy P-day schedule to write us a letter.  He has been working hard trying to make the most of a difficult area and he did well.

Now he is moving on to a new area, although it is not far from where he is now.  The map on the right hand side of the blog has been updated with his location.

He tried to send pictures today, but they wouldn't go through so he will try again next week.  Thanks for all the support as always.

Just Checking In

Letter for America,

Not much time. Just want to let you all know that I love my life and my mission. I love Mexico and the Gospel. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Not even for golf.....I think. Ok....I'm sure. I wouldn't trade it for golf.

Work is hard, but I love it. Hope you liked the photos I sent a couple weeks ago.

Love and miss you all.

Hoots

Busy Busy Busy

Elder Hoots has been busy.  No letters for everyone and mostly just short little letters for his family.  He's been busy enjoying the little free time that he has in Mexico, which is a good thing.

He found some spare time to write a little letter last week and here it is for your viewing pleasure. 

Thank you to everyone that reached out to him on his birthday.  I know it meant a lot to him and it did to us his family.
