CAUSE THEY'RE FOUR-ks. :D HA HA HA! lame. xD
Ha Ha Ha! I'm glad that the short bus comment was entertaining! xD ha ha ha!
naw, Elder Bednar actually had to leave right after that stake conference to the airport, so he busted a move pretty quick outta there. but he talked a little bit about (yes, he did not finish his sentence)
yeah, you know. that whole getting to sleep on time thing really makes everything a little different. you sleep a lot better too. ;) that's good that Dad has gotten into a nice routine for work AND school. is he just super busy all the time now? :-/
who did Robin bring to the Priest Laurel activity? just a friend from school? DAH! I can't believe that you told Brother Christianson that! blarg... I'm NOT a problem child... :'( *cries* ITS NOT TRUE! >:(
whoa! Sister Earl and McCorkle went home?!11oneoneone?! that's crazy! and no. I Have NOT been out for seven months, thank you. I only count the time in the field. the MTC and CCM don't really count. so I've only been out for 5 months. nyah. :P
wait... whats the Levy election for...? :)
and I just said hi to Robin, along with a fairly decent sized email, so she should have a corazón apacible now. (quiet heart. xD)
are you serious?! did I seriously make over $5000 last year?! how is this POSSIBLE!? dang... I would've had MORE than enough money... for the amp, a cab, AND a custom Warmoth... *sigh* blarg. well, I SHOULD still have some money left over when I get back. BESIDES, I did pay for some stuff back at the beginning of my mission. ;) Plus, I'm gonna have to buy like a whole new wardrobe! :D I need new clothes when I get back, yo.
ha ha ha! sister Curtis really wrote the same stuffs? well, no problem then. I'll get right on writing Darren. :3
YES!!! Joe Satriani DVD and CD waiting for me when I get back. ALRIGHT! was it a NEW CD by him? :3
didn't Bree and Bryan both say that the package would be on it's way soon last time? and the time before that? COME ON! :'(
oo, Tell April and Angela ""HI!" :D and tell April that she needs to write me. now. cause she's a bum.
Eh... I dunno If I'll stay with this comp or not... I guess it all depends. :P however, more than anything I really really REALLY hope that I stay here in Caguas, more than anything. I LOVE it here. all the people are totally the bestest.
yes. where is my old memory card? HMMMM? you send you would send that back! jeeze! :P
so, news from this week! WOO! I'm excited now.OK, so, you remember me recent baptism, with Fernando? the guy that was TOTALLY prepared and found out about the church through the internet? well, we had a lesson with his SON this last Saturday, our second one after sharing the restoration DVD with him and leaving him a book of mormon and 2 Nephi 31 to read, about the doctrine of Christ. He is PERFECT!!!! OH MY GOSH! so we get there, and he pulls out his Book of Mormon, and a NOTEBOOK, and he's goes ÿeah, I read what you guys left me, and it just all makes sense. and then, I was flipping through the book and was picking out chapters that I liked"". He totally read like 10 chapters EXTRA than what we left him! WHAT?! he read Alma 7, Mormon 7, Moroni 7,8,10, 2 Nephi 31, and a few others that I can't remember right now. and those are some of the most doctrinal chapters in the Book of Mormon. he is a beast! Moroni 8 is about the baptizing of little children, and he was like "yeah! I had a question about this before! it totally makes sense why they shouldn't baptize kids." and he's just... wow. hes just got this incredible hunger for the Gospel, just like his father does. speaking of which, Fernando... wow. (side note: his sons name is Fernando as well ha ha ha!) so Fernando, the FATHER, has been doing his studying. he works in the Radio, so while he's there, he's got TONs of time to read and stuff, so hes been studying the duties of a priesthood holder, the Book of Mormon, DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS, AND the Gospel principles book. all. at. once. holy COW! (Santa Vaka! (except tha'ts not a saying in Spanish. xD)) they both are very prepared for the gospel, and I'm really excited about Fernando (his son) he's only 18, and he has this HUGE hunger for the gospel. right after our lesson with him on Saturday, we had a lesson with his father right afterwards, for after baptism lessons, and we retaught the plan of salvation a little bit. that was going to be our next lesson with his son, this THURSDAY, and while we were teaching it, Fernando his SON comes out and says, hey, I just read about that in the pamphlet you guys gave me! and sat in on the rest of the lesson. Wow. super totally awesome. plus, after our lesson with the SON, he asked for all the chapters that we had on the plan of salvation. *jaw drops* WHAT?! so we gave him four chapters: 2 Nephi 2, 2 Nephi 7,Aalma... 34 I think and Alma 40... I think. I can't remember right now... hm... blarg... I need to remember that... eh, I should have it in my planner. :)
so yeah... super awesomeness. AH! I have lost myself my memory card to USB thing... (thats why I wasn't able to send pictures last week) *sigh* so I'll probably pick one up at Walmart today. BUT, I do have my camera cord with me today so I CAN send SOME pictures. :) I'll get those sent in just a sec.
Also, how is your search for the EVH style tie goin?! :D Tell me you're still LOOKING! :D do you think there might be one hiding on the internet some wheres? :3 I bet you $2 there is! BUT, you can't win the $2 unless you LOOK! :D ;) GO! go and look! :D :D DO IT! *eye twitches*
so yeah... lemme get those pictures sent. :D
I love you guys lots!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010
hey, my tooth feels funny
Wed, Jan 27, 2010
NO WAY!111!! dad got the Job?! YES!!! WOot! MAN! and he even gets a ride on the SHORT BUS?! he's is totally super awesome lucky. "He gets on the train in Tacoma goes to Seattle and takes a short bus ride" <---- ha ha ha! wow... that really does sound like he's gonna be tons busy. that's crazy!
wow! and robin got accepted to BYU I?! dang, she's got some stuffs to work out, yo. I personally think that SLC would be better, cause she would have the family support and all that stuff, but then again, maybe BYU I would be a nice eye opener, eh?
oh my gosh. elder Bednar is TOTALLY the coolest!!!! WOW. I mean, just the way that he teaches is incREdible! my gosh. so, ok. we had our missionary meeting on Saturday with him, and he was just... basically, the whole thing was led by the spirit. and it was obvious. (but I'm not sayin' that he's like, not to be guided by the Spirit, I mean, he IS an apostle of the Lord) but it was just incredible. we went over a LOt of things. he shared a few stories with us, and ESPECIALLY how to improve our teaching. focusing on the area of questions and how to better them. one thing that I've noticed a lot is that some of the questions that people ask kinda just... I dunno, they're bland. and kinda obvious. and fake. I dunno... it's just like... blah, I don't know. people just kinda go into this auto mode when they are teaching and they don't seem to really think about what they are saying or about involving the person they are teaching. they just go. meh. so He kinda addressed that and a few other things, you know. good stuff. AH! and on Sunday, which was absolutely awesome as well, I GOT TO SHAKE HIS HAND!!! :DDDDDDD OH YeaH! I was handing out paper copies of the hymns that we were going to be singing during the meeting with him, and it kinda died down. I look over the parking lot about two minutes later and his van pulls up! I was like "NO WAY!!!" and he and hiss wife get out, and Elder Costa of the 70 and his wife, and some other security personnel and they all come up to the entrance and we shook their hands! :D I was still holding the hymn papers so I was like "Elder Bednar... would you like a hymn paper?" Ha Ha Ha! he was like "sure. why not." and took it. SWEET! yeah... it was really cool stuff. and it was so weird. it really kinda almost felt like conference when he was talking. I mean, he sounds EXACTLY the same as he does when he's talking in conference. it was just trippy. but yeah... yup. super awesome superness +2
gosh, I hope you've called Breanna about her card now. :P you loser. yes, and talk to Bryan about my birthday package! I want my present. don't forget, you could always remind him about when he destroyed the front of our suburban. they'll get him to hunker down. xD
wow. I can see just how important your son's dental hygiene is. I understand. it's whatever, just go and forget to write him about it. I mean, it's not like he really NEEDS his teeth or anything. :P however it IS true that I probably wouldn't have been able to get that letter on time anyway. *sigh* oh wells. I did end up paying for it with my savings. gosh, 90 dollars today for the check up/cleaning and x rays just to make sure that I don't have any other ones than the one that I already did know about. for February 17th (my next appointment) its gonna be about $125. I'm going to have to get my cavity filled, and MaYBE some sealants done. I don't really know dentistry lingo in Spanish, you know, so all I really know is at LEAST, I'm getting my cavity filled. but it's going to be $125 for sure. *sigh* man, I was really hoping to be able to buy a new amp when I got back. well, the JSX amp, Joe Satriani's amp, is only $800, you know, so I'd still be good. :D just throwing that out there. ;)
holy crap though... oh my gosh, do you realize that I would pretty much just die if you won that guitar. you have to do all that you can to win that!!!!!!! talk to my friends, my coworkers, people on the street. EVERYONE!!!!! oh my gosh!! that would be so epic. *puppy dog eyes* please try as hard as you can. I bet you grandma and grandpa would likely help as well. and maybe Great Grandma even. :3 but yes. that DVD and CD super combo would TOTALLY be way mega better than valentines goodies. no joke.
ok, I'll get that letter sent to Ehren right away, cause I actually kinda got that one a while ago... heh... yeah. so I'll get that sent to Ehren. :)
yeah, all four sets of the scripture mastery cards would be sweet. :) they wold actually be for me to use. I actually wanna get all of them memorized, so If I had the cards I wouldn't have to make up some new ones. :) ...but I still have yet to find my scripture marker... *sigh* I might have to talk to the office to find out if they have one and pick one up through them. and as far as I remember, they SHOULD be all in my scriptures already, but for some reason I don't think that I do... so yeah. those cards would help with that as well. :D
as for that tie... you should really keep searching that out, cause that would be EPIC if it existed. so... yeah, you wouldn't mind doing that would ya? :3
but yes... I should probably bust a move, cause Elder Harvey has been done for like twenty minutes already. I swear, nobody seems to talk to their family here. its ridiculous. *rolls eyes* oh wells.
SO, Until next week then, I LOVE YOU!!! have a supercrazyawesomemegahypersweet week. LOVE YOU!

some SUPER awesome news, actually! :-O
Wed, Jan 20, 2010
NO WAY!!!! *sniff sniff* man, that makes me sooo happy. you don't even know. what got Bryan to take the discussions?! oh my gosh, oh my gosh... what did he say? did he have any questions? but for the baptism thing, what we've been asked to do as missionaries, is to extend the commitment as soon as possible. which usually calls for the first lesson. so that's a little fill in on there... is he reading? is he going to pray? cause that's the only real way that he can KnOw!
speaking of Breanna's kitties. what do they look like? also, did they say anything about that package that Bryan still owes me from back in August, plus my birthday, plus Christmas? cause I'm still waiting. plus, my bestest best friend ever in the world won't even WRITE ME A LETTER! :'( *sigh* I just don't know what even to say. it just kills me inside. (but that doesn't include the fact that he is emailing me, cause I can't email him back. :) )
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! JULIA NUNES WAS IN SEATTLE!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!1111oneoneone!1111!!!!?????questionmark! WHAT!???? why does it work out this way!? Julia! WHY COULDN'T YOU WAIT!? :'( *cries* NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! *sigh* weeeelllll... there's always when I get back, I suppose. *sigh* *dies inside*
ah ha ha ha ha! *triumphant* I HAVE gotten my suit dry cleaned now! :D now, the BIGGER question is when do I get to pick it up from Walmart? TODAY! WOOT! so now... "the deed... is done." so I guess that means that I'm gonna get a different "question of the week" now, right? I better. :P
actually... about my tooth. erm... well... it's kinda looking like I might pretty much have a cavity. maybe one and a half... *sigh* I had an appointment set up this morning... but I forgot my WaMu card... so we had to run back to the apartment and grab it, and by the time we got back, it was an hour later than the appointment was set up for (blarg!) so we had to reschedule it for next week. next Wednesday at 9 to be precise. so.. yes. I actually have a few questions about that. ok. so lets go. um, I don't have any dental plan or coverage, do I? so if not, I probably have to pay for this appointment/surgery/filling or whatever it turns out to be, right? cause the mission doesn't cover dental... so yeah... how am I gonna pay for that? um, I'm thinking it would be really good if I could get myself, maybe, a letter from you guys before next Wednesday with some info about that, cause that would be really spiffy. you know. just some info. stuff like that. info that would be come in handy. maybe some cash in my card to help soften the blow. ;) you know... stuff like that. but especially the info, cause thats good to know.
yeah... I HAVE heard about Haiti... it's horrible. people are running around with machetes killing people for food from the food truck... the entire capitol, and over, from what I understand, 200,000 people dead. and rising every day. it's, uh... its pretty interesting. but yeah, the construction on the houses, was pretty much the worst possible. they didn't really have foundations, and they don't have any building regulations, so they have some houses over there that had like five or six stories that people had built onto their houses. not exactly the SMARTEST thing to do... but yeah... it's pretty horrible over there.
oh, Grandma didn't leave until today... no, yesterday? wow, I thought she left sooner than that!
DAH!I am NOT a problem child, thank you! :P gosh, the LORD chooses where I go and who's my companion. gosh. so maybe I'm their companion to help THEM! actually, now that you mention it... I'm pretty sure that I'm getting so many companions because I'm just that awesome. yeah. that must be it.
NO WAY!!! I got called for JURY DUTY!?!?!? GAH!I've always wanted to do jury duty!! WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN WHILE I'M GONE?! this is HORRIBLE! I feel so cheated.
so, news from me for the week. guess what?! :D exactly.
also, we have an apostle coming this week!!!! WOOT! I just barely found out who it's going to be. David A. Bednar! thats right. and this Saturday we're going to have a missionary conference with him and a Seventy! SWEET! so for Saturday, we're going to have that conference, for both the San Juan east AND west missions, and then on Sunday He's going to be in stake conference here in Caguas!!!!1 YEAH! also... he going to be staying in a hotel here in Caguas... so we're kinda worried that there might be an off chance that he might say "you know what? I'm feeling like checking out the Elders apartment here in Caguas." heh ha ha, however, I highly doubt it. I'm sure he has more important things to do than that. you know. busy people. busy lives. stuff like that. :3
also, I have a question about ties. do you think that you might be able to search around on the imtermet (thats right, the imtermet) to see if there is any... =Van Halen= styled ties? you know, maybe with some stripes? that would just happen to be Red with black and white stripes? or maybe black with red and white stripes? cause you know... I would really like to know if these ties do happen to exist.
also... I seem to have misplaced my superkaraizeeawesome scripture marker... *sigh* I've been looking for it for a while and I just can't seem to find it.
so yes... not much new really this week. we've been doing a LOT of searching fro new investigators. also, I WOULD include a picture of Fernando (FINALLY!) but I forgot my little card reader this week. of course. so yeah... I'll get that sent this next week. ;)
Note: I've gotten a letter from Sister Curtis that,. heh, was ACTUALLY intended for Ehren. sooooo... I'm thinking he may have gotten MINE? I'm not too sure... I'm gonna have to send this back to her, but if you could, ask her about that. :)
also.... just another also, I guess. would you happen to have any scripture mastery cards lying around? :)
so yeah... I guess that's the most of it... yup. I can't think of anything else to go with, so I'll go with this :)
so, once again, Thank you for being the most awesomest mommy EVER!
I Love you ALL!!!!!! especially all the people that sent me presents. I'm sending out one more shout out to them :)

I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! :D
Wed, Jan 13, 2010
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
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

Dominican Republic Catalog
I have a new slide show for Elder Bryan covering some of his time in the Dominican Republic CCM or MTC (English version). Plan on spending a little time 5-10 min as there are 221 pictures this time. Not all, in fact most, pictures do not have captions. However, I have added a few that seem an appropriate fit. Look for them as there is a test later.

HEY! Feliz Navidad! :D
Tue, Dec 22, 2009
lookit! I have my P-day earlier this week! :-/ I wish I had known this before last week so that I could tell you guys, but that's how life goes I suppose... at least I still get to email. :D it's cause we have the mission Christmas party tomorrow. and then we have CHRISTMAS!!! WOOO!!!!!! OK. so first off, I just wanna wish everybody out there that still cares enough about me to check my blog and even bother to open my lame-o emails, a very merry Christmas! :D *ahem* lo siento. howsabout: FELIZ NAVIDAD! YAY! es éso mejor? sÃ, yo Pienso. excelente.
AnYwAyS, guess what everybody? :D you know that nice little ingrown toenail that I mentioned last week? well, it didn't get any better. and even cooler than that, I got SURGERY on it today! :D SWEET! yup, it's the best ever when they start digging around inside your toe with a little metal scoop. good deal. yup yup yeppers. so yes... my toe's a little tender now, and the anethesia... <--GROSS, I forgot how to spell it! :'( ANYWAYS, that nice little stuff they put to make things not hurt very much is wearing off, so I'm getting this nice little pain down there. yeah... and Other news, that a bit less disgusting. Fernando was BAPTIZED this last Sunday! :D that was the coolest ever!1!!!1111oneoneone111!! he's a very very VERY good guy, and the spirit was there VERY strongly. he even gave his testimony afterwards. I'm gonna send a picture of me and Elder bailey and him home so you all can see. :D Elder Bailey did the Baptism (which is probably better, cause of my toe) and the whole thingie went really swell. :3 but yeah, other than that, this weeks been really really tuff, cause I haven't been able to walk very much. So, this whole time we've been doing lots of searching for old investigators and stuff like that. but yeah, tomorrow is the Christmas party or the mission. there's gonna be a program, lunch, and a talent show. anyone in the mission can do something, but there's not really... heh, there's not really a whole lot that we can do. thres pretty much singing or playing an instrument. president Dewsnup didn't even want jokes. xD so yeah... but I thought about doing something, but not really at the same time. I wanted to have WAY more time to practice than I had... plus, I would have had to have picked up a guitar from a member to practice on, and all that stuff. just too much effort. ha ha ha, but no, it was more about the whole preparation thing. :) and THEN! we also have our CALL HOME!!! SWEET! I wish I could get in contact with you on more time before Christmas, cause then I could get some info on when to call you and all that stuff... you know, stuff that's kinda IMPORTANT. but ok... so we have dinner plans at a members house at 4:00. and for YOU GUYS, that's at 2:00... or at least, it SHOULD be. and I have moms cell phone number, so I can just call that, and then wherever you guys are, I can get the house phone number and call you guys there. like, if you guys are at Grandma Jan's I can just get the number from you. :3 the number is ***-***-****, right?(number blanked out by the moderator to protect the innocent) it better be, cause that's what I remember it was. if not... crap. then I'm screwed. ha ha ha!so yeah... I guess I'll be calling around 2 your time then. :)
lets see... other things of interest... OH!!! If I get the chance to stay here in Caguas for the next transfer, the stake is going to have an apostle and an area 70 come the 24th of January! SWEET! I wonder who it's going to be... I dunno, but I'm excited. :D quite fantastical!
wooOO! ok... OH! I also gave myself another haircut... :'( I ALWAYS hate doing that. blarg.
yes yes, so you guys have my apartment address. I have one more revision for that:
Urb. Bairoa park
S6-1 AVE. Parque de Napoleon
Caguas, PR 00725
yeah... it's AVE instead of Calle. but whatever. it's the same, since they go more by the neighborhoods, rather than the streets. so yeah... I GUESS it's not really important... xD
OK! I'm off to send some pictures now! WEEE!!!
I Love you all, back there in Washington. especially everybody. gosh, I can't really pick out some specifics, but... nyah, who cares. I love my family, the Franzens, the Keys family, My Grandma Jan, My Grandma Nita, My Grandpa Ed, My Grandpa Tony, Lou, all of my friends, and everybody else that I don't have any time to list off, but I want EVERYBODY that reads my emails, that I Love them ALL! WOO!
Anyways, off to send some picatures!
Till this Thursday (or next week, if you aren't my family! :D )

warning! spontanious combustion warning due to so much awesome.
Wed, Dec 16, 2009
yeah, it's a nice little bonus that I got the package right after we got home this last wednesday. I thought it was pretty funny. xD but yes. I have finally procured myself the ACTUAL address, so feel freee to publish this one. oh, and I actually got a letter from Great Grandma this last week as well. AND your letter apologizing. xD ha ha ha, but yes. ah, and so I wanna give you the REAL address. :3 but i still have yet to get that post card... hmm.
it is here.
Urb. Bairoa Park
S6-1 Calle Parque de Napoleon
Caguas, PR 00725
woot!
but yeah. well, I DO like President Dewsnup. He just has NO sense of humor! xD I think it's SO funny! all the members that have talked to us about him are like "does he just not have a sense of humor? I never even see him smile!" Ha Ha! but yeah, he's pretty sweet. and a total GENIUS! jeeze, that guy comes up with everything! I don't know what it is, but even if he's just READING the scriptures i feel smarter. xD ha ha ha!
yeah, Elder Bailey had been thinking that mail was just taking longer because of the fact that it's around Christmas time. makes sense. but now that you have my address, you're gonna publish it on the blog so that every single one of my friends can send me tons of christmas presents, right?! casue I just can't wait for that! :D :D yay, presents! :3
also, about that one dollar CD: that thing is SWEET! me and Elder Bailey LOVE it. theres some really good songs on there and we've been listening to it for the past week every night. yeah christmas music! :D
are you putting my money in my/OUR account? my WaMu one? cause thats good to know. :)
and actually, I have YET to get my package from steph yet, but I just sent her my address, so hopefully she can toss me the package for Christmas. :3
AH! the new apartment is SO nice! I think I got pretty nicely spoiled this transfer. we have a stove that works, (and thats propane even) and our room is SSOOOOO quiet. some of the Elders taht have visited are like "man, this room is like a BUNKER!" ha ha ha! and we even have AC! OH YEAH!
as for the other stove, Elder Dye just bought it, cause it was only $15, so I'm good. we went for a cheaper one just in case.
ah, the Tie... wait, didn't I explain about that tie that I sent? oh well. either way, I got that from the second transfer meeting that I went to. it was just chillin in a bag outside, and I was like "OH MY GOSH, that thing is epic nice." and so I took it. cause that bag was a freebie bag. and I like that tie very much. SO much, in fact, that I didn't want anything to happen to it, so I sent it home. now... if you could keep it safe, that would be nice. :3 ah, and speaking of keeping things safe, you're doing so for my pillow, right? casue thats a VERY nice pillow, and I wouldn't want anything to happen to that baby. so keep it safe! :P
naw, Fernando hasn't gotten baptized yet. his baptismal date is for this sunday after church. weve got three more lessons with him starting tomorrow all the way until saturday, so we'll be doin lots of preparation. he told us last night that he wanted to do some extra study, on top of the three pamphlets that we already gave him (!) so he started studying about baptism (OH MY GOSH, HE'S PERFECT!) using the index in the back of his book of mormon he has. CRAZY! I'm so excited!
speaking of being excited, I've got some good news. I just saved a load of money on my car insurance by switching to Geicko! SWEET!
yes. and something else that I am just SO excited for: IVE GOT AN INGROWN TOENAIL! SWEET! YAY! and it came out of NO WHERE!!!! :'( dah, I have NO idea how this happened, because I haven't changed how i've been cutting my toenails or anything, but it's nicely infected now, (yes, joyous.) and sister Dewsnup has been out at St. Kitts with president Dewsnup for interviews and zone conference over there, so I haven't been able to get back to me. :'( but they get back this afternoon, so hopefully she'll get back to me then. which would be quite nice, you know. but I've been soaking it in Salt water and putting antibiotic cream and bandaids on it to keep it from gettin SUPER bad. so we'll see what they say when they call me *sigh* it's gonna be
pretty sweet I guess. :)
wait a second. I already TOLD you where Elder Bailey was from... *sniff* you read my email... right? :'(
gosh. :P he's from Idaho. :P I'm not sure if his mom is on the email list... I'll ask him. :)
my goodness, heck YES Andreas letter was out of the blue! I didn't get her message on facebook till last week, so I had no idea! but it was good stuff. so well see how it goes. like she said, she wouldn't mind writing me, and heh, I DEFINATELY don't mind writing her. not one bit! she too cool NOT to write! :D
yeah... I FINALLy heard from miss stephanie last week. it was... a VERY interesting letter. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I'm STILL trying to figure it out. hmm. well, I guess I could write her about it, right? yes yes, I shall do this. also, I sent her a card for her birthday. I thought it was pretty entertaining, but we'll see, I suppose. I sent it before I got her letter (it was at the mission office) so yeah. Ionnono.
oh MAN! I'm excited to hear about Hannahs play!!!111oneoneone!! you recorded it, right? cause that would be pretty sweet to see when I get back. :)
well, Ella did say that her mom was keeping some tight reins on her because of her grades, right? ...maybe it's just that. or, what you COULD do is pick up an international phone card and toss her a phone call. Im sure that would work too, right?
hmm... seminary. what it meant to me, eh?
ok. well, Seminary... gosh. ok. so, for me, seminary was nice. I didn't mind getting up early, so didn't really worry about that. what I noticed for myself though, was that becasue of the fact that I got to study the gospel in the morning, before I studied anything else, I felt much more... I dunno. focused. I've kinda noticed the same with when I do my studies here. I'm more focused, my mind is clearer. so it was good in the sense that I was more focused for the day ahead. it really helped to get that boost of the spirit in the morning. gosh... I might have to supllement this witha letter so I can be a bit more FOCUSED. yeah, I think I might do that.
anyways, I gotta bust a move to go reply to Dad's email. :)
I LOVE EVERYBODY TONS!
~Brandon! :D
yeah, it's a nice little bonus that I got the package right after we got home this last wednesday. I thought it was pretty funny. xD but yes. I have finally procured myself the ACTUAL address, so feel freee to publish this one. oh, and I actually got a letter from Great Grandma this last week as well. AND your letter apologizing. xD ha ha ha, but yes. ah, and so I wanna give you the REAL address. :3 but i still have yet to get that post card... hmm.
it is here.
Urb. Bairoa Park
S6-1 Calle Parque de Napoleon
Caguas, PR 00725
woot!
but yeah. well, I DO like President Dewsnup. He just has NO sense of humor! xD I think it's SO funny! all the members that have talked to us about him are like "does he just not have a sense of humor? I never even see him smile!" Ha Ha! but yeah, he's pretty sweet. and a total GENIUS! jeeze, that guy comes up with everything! I don't know what it is, but even if he's just READING the scriptures i feel smarter. xD ha ha ha!
yeah, Elder Bailey had been thinking that mail was just taking longer because of the fact that it's around Christmas time. makes sense. but now that you have my address, you're gonna publish it on the blog so that every single one of my friends can send me tons of christmas presents, right?! casue I just can't wait for that! :D :D yay, presents! :3
also, about that one dollar CD: that thing is SWEET! me and Elder Bailey LOVE it. theres some really good songs on there and we've been listening to it for the past week every night. yeah christmas music! :D
are you putting my money in my/OUR account? my WaMu one? cause thats good to know. :)
and actually, I have YET to get my package from steph yet, but I just sent her my address, so hopefully she can toss me the package for Christmas. :3
AH! the new apartment is SO nice! I think I got pretty nicely spoiled this transfer. we have a stove that works, (and thats propane even) and our room is SSOOOOO quiet. some of the Elders taht have visited are like "man, this room is like a BUNKER!" ha ha ha! and we even have AC! OH YEAH!
as for the other stove, Elder Dye just bought it, cause it was only $15, so I'm good. we went for a cheaper one just in case.
ah, the Tie... wait, didn't I explain about that tie that I sent? oh well. either way, I got that from the second transfer meeting that I went to. it was just chillin in a bag outside, and I was like "OH MY GOSH, that thing is epic nice." and so I took it. cause that bag was a freebie bag. and I like that tie very much. SO much, in fact, that I didn't want anything to happen to it, so I sent it home. now... if you could keep it safe, that would be nice. :3 ah, and speaking of keeping things safe, you're doing so for my pillow, right? casue thats a VERY nice pillow, and I wouldn't want anything to happen to that baby. so keep it safe! :P
naw, Fernando hasn't gotten baptized yet. his baptismal date is for this sunday after church. weve got three more lessons with him starting tomorrow all the way until saturday, so we'll be doin lots of preparation. he told us last night that he wanted to do some extra study, on top of the three pamphlets that we already gave him (!) so he started studying about baptism (OH MY GOSH, HE'S PERFECT!) using the index in the back of his book of mormon he has. CRAZY! I'm so excited!
speaking of being excited, I've got some good news. I just saved a load of money on my car insurance by switching to Geicko! SWEET!
yes. and something else that I am just SO excited for: IVE GOT AN INGROWN TOENAIL! SWEET! YAY! and it came out of NO WHERE!!!! :'( dah, I have NO idea how this happened, because I haven't changed how i've been cutting my toenails or anything, but it's nicely infected now, (yes, joyous.) and sister Dewsnup has been out at St. Kitts with president Dewsnup for interviews and zone conference over there, so I haven't been able to get back to me. :'( but they get back this afternoon, so hopefully she'll get back to me then. which would be quite nice, you know. but I've been soaking it in Salt water and putting antibiotic cream and bandaids on it to keep it from gettin SUPER bad. so we'll see what they say when they call me *sigh* it's gonna be
pretty sweet I guess. :)
wait a second. I already TOLD you where Elder Bailey was from... *sniff* you read my email... right? :'(
gosh. :P he's from Idaho. :P I'm not sure if his mom is on the email list... I'll ask him. :)
my goodness, heck YES Andreas letter was out of the blue!

WOO! chillin in Caguas! :D
Wed, Dec 02, 2009
ha ha ha! well, I'm glad you liked the kinder Buenos. :D did anyone else like the malta though? ha ha ha, I guess you're not a super big fan of it then, eh? as for myself, it's not super fantastic. I can drink it, but it's just not... the same, ya know? yeah. I don't think that there's prunes in it... but it TOTALLY smells like spaghettios!
yeah! the cake I got was actually from a less active now turned active. her name is Jolanda. she was actually the first person I ever taught out in the mission field. and ever since then I've been stopping by and teaching her and her son, Sebastian and she's become active again!!! :D :D YAY! she's been reading the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and covenants like KaRayZee and she loves it. I'm just so happy that she's become reactivated. :3 but yeah, we stopped by her house the Saturday before my birthday cause we had a lesson, and then she's like, ''oh, hold on one sec'' and then she bings me out a CAKE! :D SWEET!
and then the little girl is Gabby, she's the youngest of the two daughters of the Branch President. SOOO CUTE! oh my gosh. ha ah ah, she had the BIGGEST crush on me and kept telling me that we were going to get married. xD and then when we went to go visit them for my last day in Rio Grande, she told me that after my mission I had to come back to Puerto Rico so that we could get married. ha ha ha! oh, and the whole family (except for the Branch President) speaks English, so I was able actually build a stronger relationship with them, because I could UNDERSTAND them. Ha ha ha!
and HA! I TOLD you about that haircut. but NO, you didn't believe me. :P gosh, it was so bad. I just kept combing it over till it got longer. blech. but yeah... I think the guy was just used to buzzing everybody's hair or cutting black peoples hair (most everybody in the Dom Rep is either black, or has a lot of black in them.) (I hope that doesn't sound racist. that doesn't sound racist. does it? :-O )
ha ha, as for the faux hawk, I WISH... heh heh, it's not a missionary appropriate haircut, is it? I'm not really sure about that... gosh... I can't even really remember that picture... I think it may have been right after I cut my hair... huh. but with it being shorter... I dunno.... I still like it longer, I'm not gonna lie. it IS much better for the heat if it's shorter, but still. I can make a sacrifice to have longer hair! xD
as for the paper ball, I have some pictures of how to do it on my memory card that I sent you. just get a little search through ém. they would be back from when I was at the CCM. :)
that's really interesting that Bryan hasn't responded to the text yet... has he come over since the birthday party? cause he STILL owes me my package. I WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM, dang it! whats the dealio!?
(Q2)How is the new place and companion? We need your address!!!!!!!!! I have your first Christmas package to send but don't know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) ok, so the new place. I'm in Caguas, the fifth largest city in Puerto Rico. it's pretty spiffy over here, ya know? the city is nestled right in the valley (where I harvest my grain, I took a look at my wife and realized she's very plain. but that's just perfect for an Amish like me, you know, I shun fancy things like Electricity.) sweet. ANYWAYS, yes. in a Valley, so it's kinda like Salt lake city, where we have the mountains on both sides and we're in the Valley. ya know, ya know ya know? yes yes. as for the Address... I'm not too sure about it... like, Elder Bailey has told me that he really hasn't used it, so he doesn't really know... he's always just sent stuff to the office. so what you could do is, I have it right here, but what you could do is that you could send a test letter or something to that effect to the apartment address, to see how long it would take to get there, and see if it ACTUALLY does get there, and if it does, then you could put that address up on the Blog. as for now, until we verify, it might be much better to just have the office address on there.
but here's the address:
Urb. Bairoa
Calle Pargue de Romances S-6
Caguas, PR 00725
ok, so be careful with that, it's a wild card. :) but Elder Bailey is Pretty sweet. I'm not gonna lie. he's only got one more transfer than me, but he's got a very nice sense of humor, and even better, he doesn't take everything I say literally! YAY! he enjoys using some sarcasm as well, so I think this transfer is gonna be much SMOOTHER than the last two.
(Q3)And you need to find out if you need an international phone card to call home or a us one so I can send it or you could just go buy one!
3) as for the international phone card, I should be fine there... I still have the others that you gave me, plus we're still in the united states, yo. :P but yeah Hermano Mejias, the ward mission leader here, said that we could use his phones. he's got some cells/his home phone with unlimited national calls, heh, so he told us that we could use those. ha ha, he was also like, ''yeah, you guys can totally use them for as long as you want. an hour, two hours, THREE hours if you're REALLY ''home sick'' ha ha ha, so we're good on that, I think. ( he speaks english, by the way, as well, so I think I'm getting off pretty easy around here! xD but I've noticed that I'm understanding people's spanish a TON more now. SWEET!)
(Q4)How was your Thanksgiving? What did you eat?
4)mmm, thanksgiving! so it was the day AFTER transfers, but thats ok cause Elder Bailey had some appointments set up. YAY! we went to a recent converts house, the Mendozas. they are SUPER cool. the father speaks English, but no one else does (he was in the air force) they have VERY strong Testimonies. they made us some FANTASTIC super soft turkey, rice, macaroni salad, and for drinks, we had some orange juice xD and we also had a drink that they make over here... I can't remember what it's called at the moment, but normally it has Rum in it, but they left that out. aw darn. ha ha ha! but it was quite tasty. really sweet tasting... I'll try and remember the name. :)
(Q5)what does chacho mean?
5) he he he, Chacho is un palabra Boricua. (it's a native puerto rican word. Boricua is the word the use for like, born puerto rican, I guess?) but chacho means like, gosh, or jeeze. a nice little fun word to use. :)
yay! say hi to the Jones Family for me!
-to the Franzens-
Hi Franzen family! oh my goodness! I got the pictures of your daughter!!!! she is SO CUTE!
I'm getting better at my spanish, so I'm thinking that I might attempt to send you guys a letter in spanish this week. I really hope you'll be able to understand me! ha ha ha! but yes, I've been meaning to send one sooner, but packing for transfers took a bit longer than I expected. Entonces, voy a tratar y darles una carta ESTE semana!
pero, Ustedes son el mejor que hay!
Con mucho Amor,
~Elder Bryan
-End transmission for the Franzens-
well, it's good that Grandma Laster enjoys hearing from me. thats what counts, right? xD as for the list of smilies, it might be better for you to make a list... I've been trying to, but I just get so wrapped up in stuff that it makes it difficult. :'(
you better get dad on editing those emails. that's important, you know.
but yeah, let dad know I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to his email today... gah, I feel horrible. ok. I'm gonna try and send you guys a letter today. I got TONS of stuff to talk about, cause it's a whole new area and everything, so I'll do what I can. :)
so remember about the address: send a tester letter first, just to see if it works. the little Teenie mailbox we have doen't have a top on it. it's one of those ones that you hang up on the wall, so I'm gonna see what I can do about that. maybe fasten a little to out of scraps... I don't know. I just gotta come up with somethin so the letters don't get wet. I'll see what I can do. but don't forget, send a TEST LETTER FIRST. I don't want any of my precious Mana to get lost. :)
so yes, I Love you guys a MUCHOTONSPLUSSEVEN!!!
~Elder Brandon Bryan
as for 6 & 7, I'll address those in my letter! LOVE YOU GUYS!
