You'll Never Believe it...








What up Fam!
So we had a great week here. Like I told you, I had changes again. I stayed in the same zone, just a different area. My comp is elder Flores. He´s got a lot of time in the mission so I´m learning a lot. We had 3 baptisms this week so that was awesome. I´ll throw some pictures in here for you guys. So we´ve had a few crazy couple of days. So yesterday, Sunday, we had to go to another area to do interviews and then to see other elders with the baptismal forms and receipts, so we got home at like 9, and my comp tried to open the door but something was behind it so it didn´t open, so we looked at the window and it was broken and we just thought "crap". The same guy that robbed me a few weeks ago robbed us again, only here in my new area. But, the good part is, he already robbed me so I didn´t have anything for him to rob! I´m sure he was quite disappointed when he didn´t find anything in the house. = ) So that was quite exciting. And then today, we were at some members house and we were there with two 18 or 20 year olds, and the parents had left to pick the kids up at school and all the sudden one of our buddies knocks on the door and we go outside and their Jeep had caught on fire! All the neighbors started coming out and we were throwing water and dirt on it like crazy and the the fire department got there and put it out. But it was pretty cool, I thought the thing was gonna explode. So we´ve had a couple intense days here in the new area. Thanks mom for taking care of the card. O also, my shoes broke so I was gonna see if it´s ok if I buy shoes for my b-day??? They´re much cheaper here so don´t worry. But I´ll let you know how that goes. Thanks for everything fam, hope all is well at home. Love you guys. Love, Rees

Spring Break!!




We have had a fabulous spring break!!! It started out with strep throat for Rhegan (yuck), so that slowed us down for a couple of days.
Then Rhegan had an awesome date with her friend Isaac, I am stealing Julia's pictures so I can post them. Isaac called Rhegan to ask her out and treated her like a princess by opening doors for her, paying for her dinner at Pei Wei, and watching High School Musical 3. Rhegan had a great time, thanks Isaac!!!





Then we took a short trip to California for my brother-in-law's 51st birthday.
My niece Tatum went with us, we were so happy to have her to keep Rhegan company!!! It's hard when you have only one child left at home, but Riley should be home tonight!! Hopefully he will stay for awhile, we have missed him.
We went to the beach, shopping, bike riding, and had a great time!!
I love spring break!!!

What a Week!!!

Hey Guys,
So not too much goin on this week... It´s been a week since we got robbed and the mission still hasn´t paid us the money that got stollen. Let´s just say it was a pretty rough week without money. Then to top it off, we ran out of water, (that´s mexico for ya), so that was quite dificult as well. Needless to say we were a bit bummed out this week. But I´m pretty excited, we´re gonna change houses because our neighbors aren´t the most loyal you could find. And the house we found it pretty sweet. As soon as were in there I´ll send some pics. Also, we´re having soccer jerseys made for the whole zone and they are pretty awesome. Also, this week we got to baptize again so that really made the week. We baptized a kid whose grandparents are members, and before he was really afraid of the missionaries so he didn´t want to get baptized. So me and my comp watched some church movies with him and went to the church to play b-ball with him, so he really started to like us and was super excited about his baptism on Saturday. Overall a good week. A little rough but what can you expect. We had fun and I´m ready to get back to work this week. I love you guys and hope all is well as home. Thanks mom for taking care of my card, I´ll do that when it gets here. Love you guys. Love, REES

Freakin Robbers (that was Rees' title)



What up fam,
Hope everything is good at home! So let me start off my telling you guys the news... Yesterday some punk broke into our house and stole ALL our money. And he stole my comps iPod and my jump drive, which had all my pictures from the mission.... = ( So ya that was a pretty poopy way to end the week. BUT, we did get to baptize yesterday so that was awesome. But ya, just dont delete any pictures I´ve sent home ok? O, and the worse part, our neighbor totally saw the guy and didnt do anything about it. Just let him have at it. That´s the part that really made me mad. People that dont do anything to stop the robbers. Anyways, I´m good, President should give us our money back so don´t worry about that. O and mom, ya if you just want to open another account and send me the debit card that would be great. Thanks a bunch. So ya, not much else going on. Hope all is well with you guys. Looks like Rhey had a good time at prom. It just blows my mind that she´s 16. Not much you guys can do now... good luck! No just kidding. I love you guys and appreciate all your support.
Love, Rees
P.S. Mom, i dont really need anything for the b-day. A little money would be ok, just to be able to buy some random stuff here and there. Love you guys.

MOOOO!!!!!!!!!



Hola Mi Familia,
How´s everyone doin? I hope all is great. Sounds like things are going pretty well. Everything here is good. Not much new. Today we went and played soccer as a zone and ate pizza after so that was fun. The work here is goin great. It´s a bit harder than my other area because the members aren´t quite as involved in the work. But it´s a ton of fun. It´s always fun to talk to people and see all different types. My comp and I have been getting along great. He´s really hilarious and he´s a great example to me. So part of our area is dirt streets, and the past few days the wind has been blowin pretty hard, and we just get filled with dirt. It´s pretty funny because my companion´s last area was all dirt so he´s used to it, but sometimes I feel like I´ve been at the dunes or something. It gets in your mouth and fills your ears and you can´t see most the time because your eyes have rocks in them. = ) But it´s been really fun working here in this area. We have some nice tacos of cow head right below our house so we eat there quite often. They´re actually really good, we eat tongue and brains and who knows what. But it´s always a sure thing that you have nice thick cow hairs in your tacos. = ) So ya, that´s about all that´s goin on this week. Love you guys a ton and hope all is well. If you ever need anything from Mexico just let me know and I´ll send it right over. Love you guys. Love, Rees
