Congrats Niki on your new baby, it is still pretty strange that you have 3 kids now. how do you kart them all around? Oh yeah and i can´t believe that deven got married finally! haha. It was good hearing from everyone. this week was pretty average, i haven´t made the pizza with Eva our investigator yet but she is still up for it. No se preocupe mama esta bien tranquilo aqui, yo nunca he tenido miedo o sentido peligro. Right now we are helping an niña named emily get ready for her baptism this saturday. her mom is less active so she is pretty much like a normal investigator and we don´t really see her dad around that much so either me or my comp is going to baptize her which will be cool. thank you for all of the pictures. i like having pictures to hang up and to show people. so my companion has a little mp3 that can record voice and he sends voice messages to his family every week through email, that would be pretty cool. So i really like the food here and i have not gotten sick once yet, but there is this thing the missionaries call the double dragon where you get really sick and you have diarrea and you are vomiting at the same time. The missionaries say that it is like a right of passage haha. idk ask steven about it he should know. or Dan wickenshimer i know he´s heard of the double dragon haha. i think that the traveling season is starting cause i am starting to see a lot of gringos down here. i even saw my first cruise ship today. Manzanillo doesn´t get a lot of cruise ships. So did you guys here about japan...that is so crazy. we even got a tsunami warning over here but no tsunami. Where is trever myers i know that he is serving somewhere in japan. i also knew missionaries in the mtc that are in japan. I also heard that north korea and south korea have been haveing some kind of stand off and that some shots have been fired. crazy. these are definitly that last days. oh well don´t worry i will be home before the mayan calander ends haha. oh yeah did i tell you guys that i have a copy of the book of mormon in mayan. its pretty cool. so i am hearing that there are a lot of really good surf spots down here like pascuales or melaque. i def need to come back after the mish and tear it up! alright i love you guys. i am praying for all of you. peace.
Love

hola familia,
it is good to hear that everything went well with niki and her baby, but uuhhh....any pictures?? Everything is good here, there is now a new rule that just went into effect however...we are not allowed to listen to any more music because there were some missionaries who were abusing the privlege. oh well, other than that not any other big news. I went on divisions with this other missionary this week for two days because my comp had to go to guadalajara for a conference since he is district leader. anyways this missionary has less time in the mission than i do. the good thing was that he is mexican, the bad part is that he has this weird lisp thing so i couldn´t understand a word he said. those two days were pretty interesting. haha. so any big news news or news in bakersfield or anything. i just realized that i am going to get home like 3 days after the primary elections in 2012 and like 2 months after the 2012 summer olympics. you guys are going to have to send me a ballot for that and record the olympics for me. well i gues i will talk to you guys next week. write me letters please...thanks! love you guys and i am praying for you.
your missionary

wow a lot of stuff is happening back home sounds pretty exciting. haha i told one of our investigators that i like to cook pizza so she said she is going to take us shopping to buy stuff to make it at her house. haha. i hope it turns out well cause if not that would kind of be an epic fail. my companion got assigned to district leader so we get to travel a little bit sometimes to do baptismal interviews. this week we went to cihuatlan and i was talking to an investigator of some other missionaries and had know idea what he was talking about cause of the way he spoke so when he asked me a question i said know cause i thought i knew what he was talking about...anyways it turned out that he was talking about something really awkward and saying no was definitely not the write answer. the other missionaries and the hermano all started laughing, it was pretty emarassing, but kinda funny to. well... i have to go right now cause i no time but it was good to hear from you guys and just know that i am praying for all of you and things are going good over here. LOVE YOU ALL!
