Hello everybody! How is life going! It sounds like a lot of excitement, such as MAKAYLA AND JORDAN ARE GETTING MARRIED!!! WOW!!! I totally knew it would happen but I just didn´t know this soon. Haha And I gotta give Jordan props for his studliness, and cleverness in the hot air balloon! That is kind of awesome! And almost the same as how Makayla´s parents got engaged. Except it was from an airplane! What is up with the Adams family getting engaged in the air? Haha But that is just cool beans. And yes mom it was totally because of me that they had their first kiss a long time ago, haha good times! :) So my question is, has everybody shared he is the gift on their facebook? Because it is pretty much awesome. We have gotten into a lot of houses to share it with people. And every time it just brings such a good spirit. And we have a really awesome idea! We are trying to find a Santa suit. And one of us will dress up like Santa. And we will go in the street markets and say free pictures with Santa! Then we will take pictures with all the people and then say we will deliver it to your house! Then we will go to their house to deliver it. And share that video with them, and boom! We have got to get something from that. :) Haha I am excited. And skyping! That is going to be awesome! in a couple weeks right? I just need to find a members house to do it. We will schedule that in the weeks to come. Man, that sounds like a good time, having indoor snowball fights with Ivy. :) I loved those. Surprise attacks I did on you mom when you were cooking breakfast. We had some epic indoor snowball fights didn´t we? :) It is too bad you never won though. ;) Haha just kidding :) those are the best invention in the world! Haha A little bit safer than Nerf eh? ;) (DAD) Haha Anyways, the work here is good, well it is going. There are still some things I am trying to figure out. But I feel like it will come eventually. Right now we are teaching this mother and her daughter. their names are Eliud and Karren. And they really want to get baptized but just want to get some things worked out first. So we are just helping them get there. :) Also we are making a lot of progress on the ward! :D So I am pretty excited with that. Anyways. I love you guys! have a great week! :D

Hey Hey!‏ December 3, 2014

Hello peoples! So I am writing on Wednesday because we went to the Temple today! So I am pretty happy about that. :) Ok, so first of all, Campachanas are a Monterrey thing because they are only made in Monterrey. Well at least this type. They are basically a lot of meat of Trompo, which is meat that I had never eaten before the mission, and I think it is pork? And then lime juice, onion slices, and Salsa Verde Haha, but I literally have never tasted anything so good in my life! Haha. Anyways, those were really good on Thanksgiving. But I need a break from them. Alright, so this Dallen guy of Jamie's sounds pretty studly. But now I really want to see a picture because I have probably seen him before. If he teaches Spanish in the MTC haha. Oh I finally got the pictures of the family yesterday! And I got a letter from Grandpa! It was so great! Can you guys tell him thanks for me! I loved the letter and It really did help me a lot! But I still haven´t gotten anything else in the mail. So we shall see! I have some pretty cool experiences, but I don´t know what kind you want to hear! Like when I got sung to and serenaded by drunk people? Or like Miracles of being guided by the spirit? Haha, But honestly the cool spiritual experiences came from my first three months out here. Right now, the Lord is teaching me something that I am still trying to figure out. And I don´t feel like a lot of special things have happened in this area. We had interviews with President yesterday and so I feel ok about it. And he just said to be happy, and love the work, and to keep working. And that is what I plan to do! I really have been happy because of the Gospel and everything. But ya, wooh man, these circumstances! Haha. Anyways I know that this is one of the biggest purposes of the mission is for us to learn and grow! And the only way that happens is if we are out of our comfort zones right? I love the mission. haha But, I have been learning so much about the gospel! We have a couple good investigators. And when we teach them, and talk to them it is so spiritual. The coolest thing is to feel the Spirit testifying to them, from you. That really is just the best feeling ever. Anyways! Not a whole lot new other than that! I really love you guys a whole lot! Have a great week! :D oh ya! And if you guys haven´t already, you need to watch the video, He is the Gift. And of course share it on all social media that you have! :) Ok great :) I love ya guys! Love, Elder Sladers!
