HOLA

Dearest Fam,
How is everyone doing? Sounds like everyone is busy. Well I mean it doesn’t sound, but by the looks of my mailbox, it looks like everyone is busy. This week was also a busy week for us. We married another family this week. The Familia Enamorado. We were going to baptize the family Sunday, but the husband, Carlos, smoked on Saturday, before his wedding. The other three (the mom and 2 kids) were ready, and still are ready to get baptized, but didn’t get baptized on Sunday, because we are going to wait a week to baptize the whole family together on Saturday. Please pray for Carlos...he could use your prayers. He committed to stop smoking Saturday after his interview. Sunday, he was having a hard time in Church cuz he hadn’t smoked since Saturday afternoon. He grew up in Los Angeles, California and has smoked since he was 11. He really has a desire to get baptized, and is giving it his all right now. He has changed so much in these past four weeks...it has been amazing to see. So, please pray for him to get over this obstacle. We did marry them though on Saturday night. It was really awesome. Too bad y'all missed it. This was the 4th couple that Elder Mejia and I have married, and we have at least 2 more couples coming up. The Lord has blessed us tremendously in these past seven weeks. This past week, another two golden families fell into our hands from Heaven. And guess what?  In both of the families, the mother and dad are married!! They have pretty much already committed to baptism. So, we are going to be working and focusing on them this upcoming week. We also have another couple we are working with that are already married (Wilmer and Jerry). They have already accepted to get baptized, but didn’t attend Church this past Sunday. So we were pretty sad with that. We also have a golden kid that is 20 years old from here in Vista Hermosa, named Carlos Vasques number 3...We are teaching 3 others named Carlos...2 of them have the name Carlos Vasquez!  He also wants to get baptized and is fulfilling all of his commitments and is way pilas. He didn’t go to Church this past Sunday, because he left for Costa Rica for 5 days. So, this past week was a great one. Well, we don’t have very much time again. So I will make this a little short, and send some pictures. So, how is everyone's summer going? Sounds like you guys go on vacations every other week. Oh and Mom, I don’t know if I can get disinfectant here for my contacts. I will talk with some people. I am pretty sure someone can get it for me. Oh, and today I took out 1000 limperas (about $50) So, we went to the bank this morning to take out the money we receive every month from the mission to eat etc. and I put in my card. I entered my password, and it was wrong. So, I tried again, and it was wrong again. I then tried a third time, and it was still wrong. So, I pushed cancel, and it wouldn’t give me my card back. So, we went inside the bank, and after an hour, I got my card back. So they then told us that I would have to wait 15 days to get my password. So, we then went to another Atlantida Bank, and I put in my card,  (cuz I thought I remembered my password), and I entered my password, and it was wrong again, so I gave up. The machine ate my card again. So, I then took out 1000 limps with my visa card from the States. So, we went inside this bank, and after some more time, got my card back, and they told us the same thing about 15 days. We explained to them that it was an emergency, and I that needed my money, so they finally gave me a certain amount of money and made me sign some papers. So that was a fun little run around this morning. So, I am going to look for my password in the house. Hopefully I can find it. But anyways, with the 1000 limps, I bought some personal hygiene stuff:  a nice new great looking tooth brush, some tooth paste, deodorant, shampoo, some soap, etc. and some stuff for my stomach, such as: some wonderful frosted flakes, strawberry jam with some peanut butter, two boxes of macaroni and cheese, and then to top it all off, a beautiful tie. So I am now happy and ready to go for another month. Well, I hope everyone is doing great and having awesome missionary experiences. Thank you all for your letters and support. You’re the best. Until next week. 
With tons of Love, Elder Lee

ANSWERS TO ???S

Dear Dad, How are you? This email is just to answer some of your questions. So Chris is going to be down here on Monday. I don’t think anybody I know here in my area would be able to get him from the airport. Nobody has a car and the ones that do have a car are working during the daytime. So I don’t know what he can do. And as for working with me on Monday and Tuesday, that would be awesome. Only Monday we don’t go out and work until 6:00. So maybe he would want to meet up with us Tuesday. I am going to see if it is okay with President. But where is he going to sleep? He won’t be able to sleep in our house. Is he going to rent a car?   What are his plans? We have interviews with President on Wednesday… I will talk to prez. Yes Brother Butts is back in Honduras now. You can call him. I told him you are going to call today. He is awaiting your phone call. He should be able to give you or be able to get you some information. He has about 3 years of traveling from the states to...

Lee Family, How is everyone doing? Well, I will have a little more time to write today since there was only Dad's letter waiting for me. So, how did the Oregon Coast treat you guys? I can't believe a year has past since I graduated. That was one of the fastest years ever. The time is flying by so fast. This past week has been kind of weird seeing everyone saying goodbye to Elder Khan, and seeing him prepare to go back home. I don't want those days to come too soon for me. My Comp is a little nervous about going back home. He says he wouldn't mind another month in the mission with me in this area. These last couple of days he has been kind of baggie and has been talking about home a lot. Last night we were up late talking. Tuesday night we are going to be eating like crazy. Everybody wants to feed us their best baleadas and food right before Elder Khan leaves, so food-wise we have been doing alright lately. Well, this last week, we were supposed to marry a couple, so w...
