WOOT!!!! OK. wow. so, now that the world has once again resumed DOING something here, instead of just partying, I FINALLY get the chance to EMAIL! YES!!!! gosh, it really feels like it's been forever. *sigh* well, at least I can write now, eh? :) but I'm glad that you guys got my post card all good and everything. AH, and I got your emails in the mail too! YAY! :3 thank you for those. that was good thinkin' right there. :D
well, here's the quick dealio on whats happened in the last little bit. OK, so I myself, have stayed here up in Caguas. :3 yes yes yes, but Elder Bailey has been dumped off to the little tinie island of Antigua. *sigh* so ONCE AGAIN, I have myself a new companion. His name is Elder Harvey. Cool guy. nice and easy going. excellent sense of humor. I guess I'm getting off a bit easier now xD ha ha ha, but yes. he's twenty. born in.... June? 1989. I'm not sure what month for certain, he he, but he's from Logan... I think, Utah. yup yup. So yes. and he's got about a year in the mission, and basically he and elder Bailey switched spots. He came here, and Elder Bailey went there.
OOO!!!! ok, so on the 24th, we're going to have an Apostle come to stake conference here! :DDDDDDD SWEET! we're also going to have an area seventy come too. I'm very excited to hear. so yes. that's on the 24th, and then on the 23rd, all the missionaries from here AND the PRSJW (Puerto Rico San Juan West) mission are coming to Caguas for a special fireside. very cool beans. :D
as for the earthquake... I actually had NO IDEA about it until Magdiel, one of the guys here in Caguas told me about it last night. ha ha, so yes. Magdiel said he felt it a little bit though, but I didn't feel anything.
YAY! :*-) *sniff sniff* I got my email from Bryan. :3 I'm so happy now. Now if only he would send me that letter that he's been hanging on to since like, November 7th and my birthday/Christmas present. ha ha ha! now if only I could print it out... lemme see if I can. hold on one sec
* * *
YES!!! Woo Hoo! I get to print it, but I have to stuff it onto a pen drive first. so I'll put that on there first after I'm all done typing to you guys. :3
wow, Bryan Bree and James are renting an apartment in Lakewood, huh? now... the really question is... where is that? cause I can't remember where that is... heh heh. good news is I can still remember the layout of the house!
UH! psha. did I remember that it was Bree's burfday. gosh, is the pope catholic? of COURSE I remembered it was her birthday! ha ha ha! so yes, I'll be picking her up a card today as well, but I'm going to have to send it to you guys at home, cause I have NO IDEA what their address is. :)
speaking of sending things, so yes, since I'm still here in Caguas, it's still OK to send me mail there. everyone. especially Bryan. right to my apartment. yup, that's right. straight to me. :)
so, for Christmas. Wow. all of you guys are amazing. that Christmas card is ridiculous. ( :P ) and I thank all of those who took their time to write me something. :) I thank the Ward for my awesome package. that [origami] paper is totally the coolest to write on. :D I thank Grandma Nita for all that candy! YAY! speaking of which, the Goldfish, and those cookies from Pepperidge farm, called the Tam Tams. wow. those cookies are so flippin' sweet. I loved those. Thank you mom, and mi Familia, por lo mejor regala de Navidad nunca. Ustedes son Lo mejor. Yo no sé que decir. solomente que Ustedes son lo mejor que hay. (My Family, for the best Christmas gift ever. You are the best. I [have] to say. solomente that you are the best there is.) so thank you guys. I love the bowling set. ha ha ha! and the Archie Mcfee shirt. and thank you Grandma Jan! those cookies are very tasty indeed. however I have one thing of bad news... Elder Harvey accidentally bumped the tree on the table... and the tree fell over... *sigh* and since every single house here has tile for floors instead of carpet... *sniff* the ornament BROKE! :'( NOOOO! how lame... the bottom right corver popped off. there's two larger pieces, but there's a few gaps that broke into pieces too small to salvage... so... *sigh* I guess I can send home what I have... but thats about it. sooooo.... yeah.... I'll sending a package home soon as well. home comes the Christsmas gear, so I don't have to leave it anywhere in case I get transferred next transfer. ah, and to the Keys family. my other family. thank you SOOO much for the package. you guys are the best too. gosh, I just feel so blessed to have all of you guys as family and friends. I definitely don't deserve you guys. +10 points to your awesomeness. :) and thank you Franzens for your christmas card, and everyone else. again, I have the best Ward EVER!
also. Bryan had MONEY WHEN HE CAME FOR A HAIRCUT!? MAN! it really IS coming to the end of the world. wow. :P
ok, so my location. the whole Urb is basically called "Bairoa" but the sub urb is Bairoa Park. hmmm.... you could also try "mirador de Bairoa" thats the next
sub urb behind us, so that might get you somewhere. sidenote: were you guys able to see my apartment back in Alturas de Rio Grande?! :-O the Las Catalinas mall... I actually have No idea where that is... but there ARE some botanical Gardens one more exit south from us on the Freeway... (the 52) that's about the best that I can provide for the moment to you guys on an empty stomach. ;) the 6 lane highway that you were talking about might be the 52...
that's good to finally hear back from Ehren. good stuff sounds like. bummer that they get shorted so much on the miles. ha ha ha, we get 1250 every month (probably cause our areas are WAY bigger.)
oo, you know what would be REALLY interesting? Ehren's planning on going to LDSBC, and if Robin doesn't get accepted to BYU I (which would be kinda funny. BYU I from what I've heard pretty much accepts everybody) and then I ACTUALLy can make it into some sort of college (the plan is LDSBC, [LDS Business College] and then I get the chance to drag Bryan along with me, cause he's not gonna stay away from me anymore when I get back, then all FOUR of us would be going to LDSBC! :D how cool would THAT be, EH? :D I think that would be some pretty cool beans there.
let dad know that I'm sorry that I haven't gotten back to him yet about the MTC and CCM stuffs, it's been pretty difficult to mail people for the past two weeks. besides no email,. Elder Bailey had a LOT to take care of, and people to visit, so I didn't get the chance to write to much. but I DID get a letter out to the Franzen's. FINALLY! :'( to them: I'm SO SORRY that it took so long to get that out to you guys. I really wanted to be able to write you guys in spanish. and for some reason I just didn't even think about writing you guys in English. however, It's done. I wrote in English now, and... yes. sorry for my lack of thunking. I wersnt thunkin two haerd ther.
so yes. I also didn't get the chance to email Robin back either, cause I've had so much to type and put here for this week that I didn't really get the chance to write anybody else. so I'm sorry about that Robin! I Still love you! :P
yes yes, so now that I've exceeded my time... again... and that Elder Harvey is asking me if I'm done yet, I should probably bust a move and get outta here. so, until next week, or my next letter,
I LOVE YOU GUYS! EVERYONE! oh, and a note to Cameron: letter on the way! either this week or next week. :D and tell Carter that he TOTALLY copied your note. :P ha ha ha!
YES YES! ok, So. until next time!
*is busting a move*
BYE!
Love, Elder Brandon Bryan :3
