Dear Family,

Yes i got the package from you and also from tyler, but what happened there is no letters in the package!!!!! It is hard to believe you guys would send me a package half way around the world and not take the time to write a little note, yes i am very thankful for the candy but i care alot more about how the family is doing. I have not heard from nanny and papa either i showed my comp of the picture of the family reunion in hawaii and he just said,.. and none of them write you??? I know i am not the best of responding to emails but i have a limited time on the computer and i have to give a report about the zone, i really dont have much time to write you guys. But i sure would appreciate a quick update on how the family is what is happening. All the cousins, uncles. The only reason i ask is just because i love yall so much.

But this week was a little difficult our investigator had a problem with the word of wisdom, baptism rescheduled for october so this will be the first month this year that i have not had a baptism, pretty tragic it was my goal to have all of 2011 with baptisms, but we have shoved it off to the side, and we are working super hard with the investigators that we have. The biggest problem is that they are not married every week we have 6 or 7 in sacrament meeting but the problem is four of them are in need of gettting married. All of them are progressing and we are working really hard to try and get the branch involved, this Saturday we have a marriage planned and for 15 of october, also we have the fam ortiz they are mom and three kids, alejandro 19 years old, joselin 16, rosalia 15, all of them are super excited, and alejandro is preparing for the mission he is super excited. What we need a little extra help is with the fam Arias they are just husband and whife without kids. The whife albanya is super excited, and the husband hector is a little tough around the edges, this past week we have worked so hard with them so he understands the nesecidad to have the priesthood, and last night we invited him to be baptized, he told us no, ya me bautizé, his whife readily accepted but she said she wants to be baptized with him. So i have alot of hope albanya has alreadry read all of first nephi and is super excited, last night she started crying about how much she loved the lessons in church, and her husband felt the spirit to. Just needs a little more cooking.

Well love you all tons i am sorry for being such a punk about wanting letters but i just have not heard much about anyone, i know it is not your fault and you guys are super swamped also but i just love yall so much i gotta know how your all doing . moroni 8.3, also tell the uncles to write me nanny papa i have not heard from any of them since i left the mtc. Ni tampoco cuando les llamé por dia de la madre. Ha pasado mucho tiempo, hay que escribir a su amado ñieto, hijo, mejor amigo, sobrino, chistoso muchacho, el cual es Elder Olsen.
