HEY - YOU - GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!!!!!!!!!!! Hey =3D D to answer your commen=t, yes all the apostrophe=C2=B4s (=C2=B4) were replaced with that B2=3DC4=, or whatever it was, lol. Kind of funny. =3D P I am now in the ciber for the second time today, earlier I wrote our letter to the president and printed off the letters so we could read them and respond later! And here I am. This week has been a roller coaster of emotion. It=C2=B4s ended for the better, alot of thoughts too and I need to sift through em to see which are good and which I should forget. Talk about that later. Elder Heldt and I, we=C2=B4re doing good, not that everything is perfect. We4==C2=B4ve had a few discussions, things of that nature. Confrontations to be precise, but I already know you get my point, nothing new here. I believe I mentioned his snoring, it=C2=B4s bad now. I have not slept in the last 4 ish days. Well I=C2=B4ve slept slept but not very well. I turned a fan on, a mobil fan that you can pick up and all that, big, really BIG, turned it on full blast and had RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR in my ear, but still heard his snoring perfectly clear. It=C2=B4s insane, and it=C2=B4s= agaisnt the rules to switch rooms, we have to sleep in the same room. Yesterday we had our weekly nap thing. Yes I will say I feel bad sleeping like that, lol, but yesterday I felt more than justified. I walked in, straight way, grabbed my pillow and plopped in an arm chair. A hard, old, stiff arm chair ... Slept like a baby. 2 straight hours! Lol. Yesterday was over all good. I=C2=B4ll tell you a few things, the truth is that we have to go soon. We=C2=B4ve been getting pretty used to writing quickly and getting the heck over to the church, haha, quite natural now. But yesterday, I woke up late, like late 7 something, almost 8. Yes I felt bad, but I prayed and decided not to dwell on it and take the best of everything. Got ready for church and got the heck over there. Unfortunately, Fernando in his new work had to take a delivery out of town and couldn==C2=B4t come to church, we=C2=B4re really nervous about that. His baptism is on the 28th and he still hasn=C2=B4t stopped smoking. Well we=C2=B4re =not sure if he hasn=C2=B4t, but either way missing church isn=C2=B4t going= to help much with that. We=C2=B4re going to visit him today after District class. Other than that though, yesterday was good with a few challenges. We got there about 5 minutes before it started and 3 of our investigators were sitting there, Noemi, Monica and Moises. If I have time I=C2==B4=C2=B4ll tell you about them. But I sat down next to them and started off with the service. We were singing the first hymn and then I felt somebody touch my shoulder I looked over and sitting next to me o the other side ( I was sharing a hymn book with Noemi, facing the other way) was Hermana Raquel! Finally, bloody hell! Lol. She told me when I left Jardines that she would come visit me. Her cui=C3=B1ada lives in my ward right= now, her sister in law and her brother, but her brother isn=C2=B4t a member. Every week I=C2=B4ve been waiting for her, not so much last week and yesterday I was just going to be happy when she showed, lol. The bishop spoke for a good amount of time, he planched (grilled, chewed out in other words) The ward. Not like, blatently, literally yelling at the ward but he in other words... yes. Lazyness is of the devil and we have to show God that we responsible enough to wake up on time and come to church on time. It was AWESOME! As missionaries we=C2=B4re basically thinking the same thing as he was. Lol. Afterwards I got to talking with everybody that was there. Elder=C2=B4s quorum president came ot me right after the service saying, Elder I have a reference of gold! The boyfriend of Hermana Brenda wants to get baptized this Saturday. So we=C2=B4re working on= that right now, we went over last night and if I have time I=C2=B4ll tel=l you how it went. I got talking with Raquel (Eulalia Raquel Arias de la= fuente, her FULL name, haha) and she said sorry she was going to come earlier but on the day that she was going to come the stake president or counselor called and she had to talk in Ward conference. That=C2=B4s basica=lly her 4th week of being active, lol! She spoke on charity. Now I regret to say I AM out of time and we=C2=B4re leaving now, but... yeah, nothing I can say... lol. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH; I finally finished off my See=C2=B4s choclates, lol. hav=C3=A9n=C2=B4t gotten Deb=C2=B4s package. = And I=C2=B4m looking forward to Rena=C2=B4s, lol. She sent me an email that said, Challenge, YOUR ON! Lol. So I=C2=B4m already thinking I=C2==B4ll be happy with the results. Anyway, till later. La verdad les amo mucho, gracias por todo de su apoya lo espero a hablarles pronto. Hasta proximo lunes!
Sinceramente con amor, Elder Jacob D. Taylor
