To A-Mac,

How's it going Alex.   I am sitting in the San Diego airport waiting to fly home to work a few days.  I always hate leaving but gotta pay to play.   Sounds like you guys are going great work.  Try not to get caught up in numbers whether things are good or bad.  People are what's important.  Success is nice and I'm glad your enjoying some.   Make sure you get your comp to teach you some sweet moves.  That always comes in handy.  I surfed thurs, fri, an sat.  Jake surfed two days with me.  He did greAt.  I took bugs surfing on fri and he loved it.  He is asking to go on Monday.  Kyle did not come.   He did not wanna go.  " I get tired of going places all the time".  So, I left him at the Woodburns.   Whatever, I don't understand that kid sometimes.  Do you guys do anything special for July 4th?   Scott & Scotti are in Cbad as well as Alan & Linda.   Jean an Eric are also coming in.  Mike and Cassie just arrived as well.   So a full house.  Scott & Scotti just bought a really cool beach house in the very southern tip of Oceanside.  Gotta get on my plane.  Love you bud.   I miss you surfing w me.   I usually surf alone.   Had some fun waves.   Shoulders are in good shape.  Don't forget to have fun!    Love you!!!

Dad

hola madre y padre y hermanos!

como estamos! once again i get the fabulous news to hear that you guys are in California! which makes me cringe inside but deep down i am doing okay about it! hahaha... anything cool or out of the ordinary happen when you guys where there? how was the tacos at cessys... they are truly missed by my stomach! hahaha... anyways this week was a little bit of a downer... we didn't find many people to teach but we still have what we have which is great... my companion and i are really stoked at all the investigators and people that we have that are progressing and july should be a great month for us! but you are right... the numbers are not important... what is more important is the people but for others its a little bit different because they are not there working with you so if you have bad numbers they judge but to me that is not very important because me and my companion we know what is going on... but yes we should have some success this up coming week.  and don't worry he is teaching me some moves already... i'm getting into the harder stuff so it will be a little bit tricky.  how was the surf?? the pictures looked like the waves were great! describe to me your best wave! hahahaha... i miss bragging about how caught the wave of the day! hahaha... and wow Jake got up and went surfing! awesome he is such a stud i love that kid.  and josh went out?? how did he do? was he scared or did he love it.... i bet you guys that he could go pro in surfing if we pushed him in it! you know that i will when i get home! hahahah... ill take him out everyday! and are you serious¿ Kyle stayed with the woodburns... what is his deal? or in spanish... que tiene!!!!! hahaha... that boy is just really confused lost in the things of the world and not focused on the things that really matter in life... it took me some time to figure it out but i came around... just gotta pray and help him find himself and get him out of this mind set of things that are not important in life.  and to tell you the truth dad i don't know what will happen for the fourth of July... i dont think that it is anything down here and our mission president probably wont do anything for that day... but maybe as a district we might do a little something... the Independence here in Peru is the 28 of July so it will be crazy down here for sure.  and wow it is a full house down there... give everyone a hug for me and let them know how much i miss them. and no way? tia scotti bought a house down there... awesome! less expensive in oceanside? i like carlsbad better for sure... for p-day we were walking and we came upon a sweeeeeeeeeet llama where we all took pictures by it as a district... this llama was awesome and super friendly! we all thought that he was going to spit on us but he was muy tranquilo... make sure to show it to andy mcb! the first llama encounter. hahahaha.... we have this one man named eddy how is a great man... looking for the truth but a very hard heart... yesterday we had an awesome lesson... very strong was the spirit there in the room with us when we talked about baptism and how he can have an eternal family... his progression has been great but the hard heart is killer.... with time the lord will open his heart ... he accepted a date to be baptized the end of the month if he receives an answer... the rest of his family is ready... we have another family that is getting married really soon! we are teachign a single mother and her daughter and it is quite funny becaue all the young men want to go and visit this young lady because she is quite good looking and they all want to try to take her out... you guys should of seen when they were all fighting to go out with us and visit them... hahahahaha... we have a couple more people that we are working with but they are the the strong ones that we have.  are you guys watching the world cup?? the united states is kicking some butt... they play tomorrow!  hopefully they go all the way! if you could send me a jones jersey that is red, white and blue would be awesome.  our district is awesome and powerful! we have the chance to break a record for baptisms in one month which is 27! we are all really stoked.... i wont lie to you guys... i have really liked playing soccer here and every day i want to go out and play.... the other day we played for 3 straight hours! it was great! i have lost alot of my muscle... going to be hard to gain it all back when there is no gym.... it will be much needed when i get home! how is everything back at home? anything new, exciting, that you would like to tell me! anyways i have really come to love this gospel and church and i have come to know that it is true for myself and i am so happy that i did... it has changed my life for the better and i am so happy that i have the chance to change the life of others and at the same time, myself.  my knowledge of the doctrine is bigger than i ever thought and i have learned things from missionaries and the president that i never expected but only reinforce my testimony of the gospel... it really is true.  anyways... i am going to write the president! i love you guys like crazy! have a great week!
