Hey everyone, so this week has been pretty fast but also pretty uneventful. I leave the CCM on the 29th of July and that day is just not coming fast enough. Im ready for Ecuador! I had a sore throat for 11 days in a row so that sucked but when I went to the enfermeria they gave me some stuff to take and I am doing good now. So my district has 4 boys going to Ecuador and 4 going to Peru and so when we play fútbol we play Peru vs. Ecuador and it is fun. Today Ecuador won, I put a laser in the top right corner to spark a 5 goal come back for the win. It was awesome. This email I just want to tell you guys a little bit about my district because I didnt do a whole lot this week. So my companion Elder Landon Spencer played Lacrosse back home and enjoyed traveling a lot. His dad works for the airlines as a mechanic so they get deals with flying. He is a super cool I really enjoy having him as my com. Our distric leader is Elder Jacob Sok, he is in the Army as a medical guy. He has moved around a lot but he calls Spokane Washington his home. His parents live in the marshal islands right now. Is comp is Elder Mckay Dayton, he grew up in Provo and enjoys music and things of that nature. We have Elder Tyler Killpack, he is a freakin stud, he grew up in Shelly Idaho and I love ELder Killpack, we are the two that kinda trash talk eachother and give eachother a hard time throughout the day but its all in fun of course. Were real good friends but hes headed Peru along with his Comp Elder Joseph Hurtado who is basically another David Artaleta, I dont know how to spell that last name. Hurtado is actually a better singer in my opinion. He will pursue a career with music after the mission. Elder Taylor Bell is a lot Brian. He even looks like he could be a Bothwell. He is also a stud, we talk quite a bit after we get through the day and everyone is in bed. His Comp is Elder Colton Kimball. No relation to Spencer Kimball. He is from San Antonio and he is a cool kid. I like playing soccer with him and hes fun to have around. His family is beyond wealthy back home though. Hes a cool kid though. THe Hermanas in our district are all cool but they never hang out with us or anything so I dont know a whole lot about them. I do know that 1 of them is the niece of Chad Webb who is the semenary director across the whole world. Our semenary system was shown to him by Bro Larose and my name was included so Im hopin he recognizes it. Oh ya I get to meet him today. He is getting here to the CCM today for some reason I dont know. Im excited tho. If it is possible send my a Dr. Pepper. I would appreciate that!. The most notable thing this week was probably when I got my first reference for Ecuador. SO our teachers role play after non member friends that they have and 1 of them role played after someone that lived in Quito so I have her email and number and address for when i am in Quito. Then I convert the Real Gaby and not the one my teacher plays haha. Oh ya my roomates are so awesome. Elder Sanchez comes from Guatemala and he doesnt speak a lick of english but I can still talk to him pretty well. He likes to camp and sing. He plays a little Fútbol and his dad died when he was 4 years a old but last night he told me that he was able to get baptized for his dad in the temple so they are all sealed. Elder Flores speaks perfect English and loves to just be active. His favorite sport is basketball. Oh Dad, I met the Utah Basketball recruit. His name is Elder Rydalch, I dont know his first name but he is the coolest kid ever. His personality does not reflect a stud like basketball player haha. He is humble and and super funny. He is actually in my zone so I talk to him everyday. He is headed to the Guayaquil Ecuador mission though. Elder Austin Clubb and Elder Trevor Smith left us last week. I was super sad becasue we played soccer with them so much. Elder Clubb was a little teary eyed, him Elder Smith and I were really tight. Elder Shaun Bang and Greggory Adling played quite a bit as well but off the court I didnt spend quite as much time with them. Yesterday 200 Elders showed up so the CCm Is packed, There is like 800 missionaries here. I got up at 5 30 and got my laundry done and it was fantastic. We finally broke the rain streak and got 1 whole day of no rain. The next day it poured enough to make up for it though. This week I led a Book of Mormon discussion and it was amazing. I had us read Alma 26 and everyone just shared a lot and it was super cool. I love that chapter. Mother keep reading and praying, I got your letter that was sent on June 23rd yesterday. I dont think they will all take 3 to 4 weeks but its anyones guess with the mailing system here. Mother, others have recieved packages so I think they get here I am not completely sure but I think they are good. Macee, a hatrick is when you score three goals. I am loving life out here. Are the pictures with the links good for the blog? I hope so because that is much easier for me but I hope it all goes well this week with the baby and everything else. Adios mi familia!
