HOLAA!!!!

So I just got your package and all your letters from this week. Dad, they gave us scriptures in Spanish and a Himno! So I will be sending those back so you can get your money back! Sorry! Thanks for the thought though! You guys are so awesome!!! I love everything you get me. I'm good on food now. I'm already getting fat enough. I've gained 9 lbs. ha-ha. I'm a fatty now. Caleb Loveland has gained 17. Ha-ha. We 5th ward kids are fat!

Elder Sacco left, that sucked, but I still had Benke and Baldemero, my two good buds!! We had devotional on Tues. I fell asleep. I'm so tired. But Wednesday was hilarious! All the newbie's are so funny to watch. Benke and I made fun of them by going and saying, “hi”, and then we acted like we were new as well. We got no new districts. We just had class all week. Nothing really all that special. Thursday night (New Year’s Eve) we stayed up until 12. Me, Bink, Baldemero, Simmonds, and Au. It was fun. We just told stories about our background!! It is interesting to hear all our stories and stuff. I could see myself hanging with Baldemero and Benke after the mish!! They are way cool!!!

So I'm not sick at all, just cough and such, But I'm better now, but my whole district was sick. So we had to rotate staying back at the dorms watching the person who was sick. So we all missed a couple classes. It stinks. It’s so boring just sitting and reading for 4 hours by yourself.

The real story is Saturday, so we have this TA (teaching appointment), where we knock doors and talk to volunteers. And this time, I decided I'd just not say anything and make my comps do the work - because they are silent in Espanol and Ingles. It kind of worked, but when it was awkward, Bro. Nevers would just look at me and I would do my part. I love Bro. Nevers, we always talk. I don't have him anymore after this week though. :( The semester changes and our schedule changes. But Saturday, was going well all day, I taught the investigator, he said I was awesome. Then after dinner, I'm getting interviewed and I find out Elder Nelson just barfed all over the floor!!! So we took him to the front desk and they gave him a pill and we went back to the dorm. Then he projectiled his barf into the trash from our room!! Crazy. So we took him to the front desk again and they told him to go to sleep. Then he throws up a third time. So, finally, we go to the ER in Provo! I got off campus!! yeeeeeaaaah! Elder Simmonds came along to keep me company because Elder Dewitt was already asleep. So Simmonds and I just talked to everyone at the hospital!!! It was great. We were there until 3 am! It was so much fun! We just read and chilled with all the nurses there and stuff. Great time. The only thing is that I got no sleep. So we just made him stay in the dorm all day on Sunday, and we took turns rotating who stayed with him. It was alright. His twin came over, so we could go on our Sunday temple walk. It was a pretty good day! Then we said goodbye to Benke and Baldemero's district. That stunk. I hung with them until around 12. We just talked to them all night. We got to be good friends. Their district is so awesome - all of them are like me. So it’s weird that they are gone. We are still going to talk to each other over email. Baldemero is talking about coming to BYU with me! He's from Hawaii! He's way cool. You'll see in my pics when I send them home sometime. We had a fun week!!! Just full of sickness and weird happenings! The off campus car ride was sweet. It was weird though. I was like, car?? Ha ha. Weird. I saw P.H.S., Taco Bell, etc. I was like, oh yeah, I used to be here a lot....weird.

I'm glad you all had a great New Years minus the other stuff!! I love you all and miss you all!!!!! Be happy and be positive! Family is the bombest!!

Love,

Brad
