Monday Missionary

What up fam!?!?!
Sounds like everything is goin awesome back home. I love hearing that all is well. Tell dad to buy me something from Japan. No just kidding. So in my new area, there is this guy that sells ties and suits, so of course, I´ve been buying quite a few ties. Some ugly ones just for fun, but some really awesome mexican ones too! I´ll be sending some home for everyone soon. Also, Friday we had "special changes", and I got a new companion, Elder Mendoza. We were in the same zone before so I already knew him a little bit. He´s awesome. He´s got 18 months in the mission so he knows a lot and it´s a great opportunity to learn. We had an awesome baptism on Sunday too. A guy who had to wait a while to get baptized, but finally was able to on Sunday. It was just amazing to see the joy on his and his wife´s faces. She was already a member and they´ve got like 4 kids. How lucky we are to be able to live together forever. So ya, everything is goin awesome here. The only thing is that I only had a week in this area when my comp had changes so sometimes we´re a bit lost = ). But it makes for some good experiences. So ya, that´s about all that´s goin on right now. I love you guys.

Thank you Hunter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunter delivered chocolates and balloons to ask Rhegan to LDS Prom!! He is such a cutie!! Rhegan delivered balloons tied to a stuffed dog (you will understand the dog when you see the next picture) to Hunter's room saying "Yes"!!
Thanks Hunter!!!


This is Chewie!! He is Rhegan's new dog that came from Hunter for her birthday!!
Yes, we have a dog in our house, I never thought I would see the day, but Chewie is such a good dog!!
Thanks again Hunter!!!

Monday Missionary

Hey Fam!!!!
How´s everything goin at home? Hope all is fantastic! So we had changes tuesday, and I packed up all my junk, went, and then President said I was goin to La Paz, in the stake Los Reyes. Well, my new area touches my old area. I was a bit bummed because it would have been easier to pick up my stuff on the way, but o well. = ) So ya, I´m just right next door to where I was. I´m district leader here too and my new comp is elder hernandez. He´s pretty cool. Kinda weird though. But everyone has their problems. We get along good, just always a bit different at first. The ward here is quite sucky. They´re great people but they´re just not involved in the work like in my other area. It´s soooooooooo much easier to baptize when the members want to help. But mom, I made some little thank-you´s like the one you sent me, so we´ll see how that goes. The sisters in relief society don´t even want to feed us. I don´t really blame them though, I know quite a few of the elders that were here before... and ya, they just weren´t so great. But we´re working our butts off and I´m sure we´ll get the ward goin and have some success here in La Paz. But wow, it is so much harder than my other area, it is like 5 times bigger. So we´re walking like crazy and my legs have been quite tired. It´s kinda nice to get a little exercize in though. O man, also, I got here on Tuesday night, and our house was a pig sty. I just don´t get how some people can live like that. Thanks mom for always keeping the house clean. Anyways, the next day I cleaned all morning and it´s not so bad anymore. = ) But ya, not much else to say. Everything is goin good. Thanks for the letters. Hope all is well at home. O and thanks mom for the package. I eat the candy for breakfrast because they didn´t have food here. = ) Love you guys a ton and appreciate all your love and support. Cuidense mucho!

I Miss My Missionary!!!!

I know I've said it before, but I love Mondays when I can hear from Rees. I sure do miss him, but am so thankful for his service!!! Here is his latest letter!!!

Hey Fam,
Sounds like everything´s going good at home. Glad to hear it. So tomorrow I have cambios, or transfers. I´m pretty stinkin nervous because it´s my first time. I´ve been in this area my whole mission and I know all the members and it´s gonna be hard to adjust to another ward. The biggest worry though is the companion. You never know if you´re gonna be with someone good or bad. But we´ll find out tomorrow. I´m sure everything will work out. So this week was good, well this cycle was good. We worked our butts off and we really saw the result. It´s amazing how involved the Lord is in this work. He puts things in order so perfectly so that we can have success. So…. Tell Jules that yes, I´ve spoken in sacrament meeting, like 8 times. We have two wards and sometimes they both ask us to speak. It´s really helped me to not be so nervous in front of people. The person I really get nervous in front of is President Bulloch. I had to teach some things in the zone conference we had and wow, he really makes me feel the pressure. But ya, that´s about it. Not much new goin on here. We had another baptism yesterday and it was awesome. There is just nothing like it. Anyways, hope everything´s good at home. I´ll let you guys know next week how my new comp is and where I´m at. Love you guys!

Fireproof!!!!

I have been wanting to see the movie "Fireproof" for a long time so I finally rented it and Bart and I watched it together (good advice)!! I thought it was amazing!! It reinforced the importance of the gospel and my Savior Jesus Christ in my life and the part they play in my marriage!! It made me more thankful for my marriage in the temple for eternity!!! It made me grateful for my relationship with my husband and for his worthiness to hold the Priesthood. It made me think about some things that I need to work on to strengthen our marriage!!! If you haven't seen it, it would make a great date!!!

Sweet 16!!!!

Yes, that's right, Rhegan is officially of dating and driving age!! Wahoo!!!
She had a party at "Pump It Up" to start the weekend, followed by a sleepover, and ending with cake and ice cream and a dog on Sunday!! That's right, everyone knows that I am not an animal lover, so if this one doesn't work out, we can return it!!
First night was a little rough, we'll see how tonight is!!!

Baptisms in Mexico

Hey guys,
How´s everything going back home? I´m sure you´re all great. That sucks to hear that the Cardinals lost. Anyways, we had a great week here. We had two more baptisms this week and it was awesome. Me and my comp have been getting along really well so that makes it a lot more fun. Today we had a zone activity and we all played soccer and went and ate pizza after. The last one we had we played football, and I´m sure I told you guys we dominated the mexicans.... Anyways, one of them got hurt playing football so President told us we cant play anymore. So now we´re stuck playing soccer. But it was fun. Cambios are next week and I´m pretty sure I´ll be changing areas because I´ve been here 4 cycles and that´s quite a bit. So we´ll see. I´ll let you guys know next monday. What did you send in my package mom??? Just curious. If you are ever bored and don´t have anything to send me, a few short sleeve shirts would be a good idea. Not that I need them, but I gave one to one of our converts after he got the Priesthood so I´m one short. But ya,that´s about it. O ya, Rhey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! Sorry I didn´t buy you anything.... But I hope you had a great birthday. Be safe driving please because I don´t want to have to come home early for your funeral. No JK. Love you sis and hope you had a good b-day. So ya, that´s about it fam. Love you guys and hope everything is going great at home. Keep me updated. Love you all!
