Excerpts

Excerpts from Zach's letters:

Monday, July 29, 2013

I loved getting your last emails! Thanks, Cade, for taking the time to write me.  It sounds like everything is going good with football and NCAA 14!  Dad, I loved the photos you sent me of your mission! They made me laugh a ton and I loved the glasses that your companion was wearing.  Good times! 

You asked for the address of our church and our apartment.  The church where I go to is on the streets of Camino Carrasco and Cambay.  It's a new church and is really pretty.  Our apartment is located on Camino Carrasco and Yrigoyen!

Well, this last week was a great week! I had a lot of fun working with Elder Briones. We had another ward activity.  It was on "missionary work."  We had about thirty people there and one of our investigators also showed up.  We watched a video and ate a lot of food (luckily we didn´t have mondongo this time!).  It was awesome! 

I also got to work with Elder Reay this last week! I don´t know if you guys remember but he was my companion in Minas and he´s serving right now as one of the financers for the mission.  It was a lot of fun working together and catching up on everything, including our families.

It's been super busy in the mission right now because President Armstrong left the other day and President Newsome, our new mission president, will arrive on August 6.  So we are all trying to prepare things for him so everything is perfect when he gets here.  We are all pumped!

Tyler and Cade, you´ll have to update me on where you guys are at in your scripture reading.  I should finish my reading of the Book of Mormon tomorrow!  It will be my second time reading the Book of Mormon all the way through in Spanish! Crazy stuff!  I never thought I would be able to say that, especially when I started the mission not knowing any Spanish!  I hope you guys are reading your scriptures and saying your prayers!  It's super important and really helps us be more happy in this life!

Anyway, I love you guys tons and I can´t wait to hear from you again!
