Na no worries about me mom im feeling better since last week. Im not sure if i had parasites or not becuase i had the simptoms but now i feel better. But everyonce in a while i feel bad in the stomach like i felt before too. O well just have to live with it until i get home!! haha. Tell ryan i said thanks for his good luck with the parasite. Lately im not too worried a bout that becuase im worried about my wieght! ive gained 10 POUNDS : ( IM getting so fat here in nicaragua hahah.. im pretty sure its from all of the dang rice we eat here.. rice at every meal ! its horrible. The sister even gives me less and i still get fat and feel so full haa.

Well spencer still is in my zone but they put two more missionaries out there where he is and made those two sets a district. But i still see him the same amount. Its pretty fun bieng with him..
So zack is officially married and tied down? bummer hes not going to be as fun as he was before. Probably going to have some kids really fast hah. Where are they going to vacation?

So grandpa isnt doing very well these days ?? is he still going out and working or is he just in the house all the time? Wow i hope he gets better really soon. What is it that makes him dizzy and faint? is it because of the diabetes? Thanks for the update ill definitely keep him in my prayers. Tell him i love him a lot and miss listening to his stories from the mission and from high school.

TEll jordan to keep at the piano becuase he will use it in the mision. My companion plays the piano and right now he is going to start teaching the young women how to play. IM pretty jealous and im pretty sure taht im going to join in on the lessons. Tell those rascals to do all their chores and play the piano and be obedient and youll let the go see their movies.

Everything is going well here. We are trying to find a few more families to baptize becuase we almost dont have any families that we are teaching. Im thinking after this change they might send me to a different place and i want to finish here with at least one more family thats very positive. All else is going well. I kinda hurt my kknee last week and today it was hurting again when i played soccer (im getting way way good at it). Well thats about all really. About the ties i dont need many only a few. Just a few 3 or so that are new so that im not so bored hah.. The sun has been coming out more and im absolutley loving it even though its blazing hott. I have more energy and ganas when the sun is out versus when its raining a ton.

So i decided that im going to send you a package. Im going to send home those cleets and some gifts for everyone ; ) Youll just have to wait and see whats in store!!

So right now we are teaching some catholics that live right in front of the caithlic church and go there every week. It will be way hard to convert them but well see how it goes. I have not tried this before so it wll be interesting haha.

WEll i think thats about it.. Everything is just fine here exept the big beer gut ive got going on.
I love you all so much. Thanks for all of you love and support!!
Love
Elder thorpee

Wow thats pretty luckky that she brought over an ifone and a laptop! how nice of her lol.. Im pretty jealous to be honest! i dropped my fone yesterday and now the earpiece sounds really funny when i talk on it.

Well anyways so things are going really well here. Today we had another super pday ( think pres. is trunky haha!) lol but today was fun we went to the volcano of Masaya! we couldnt see any lava but there was a lot of smoke coming out of the crater. It was cool but i got way burnt. I look like a tomato now. but i got to hang out the spencer the whole day! aha it was really fun. Im sad we didnt hang out before the mission. weve been talking so much about how we are going to hang out soo much after the mission and that i might be his best man ( hes always trunky talking about his girl hahahha).

Other than that its been going really well here . WE had two baptisms here on Saturday and we are hoping for two more this saturday. We are looking to finsh the change with 14 baptisms! my recent converts are way awesome too. 3 of them are men that are going to prepare to get the priesthood. They are really excited and i bought them little notebooks to take notes in the class that they are taking. Its way sweet to see the desire they have to progress! I just hope that they never fall that their baptism means a lot to them and that they stay strong in the church here. ITs a bit different in this ward because there isnt a lot of support from the ward in the mision work.

Im doing really well so far you were right that i shouldnt worry about being district leader or about numbers. Ive had a really good change this time and i really dont want my companion to leave! i hope he doesnt go yet. Hes a good kid and we are having fun and baptizing. Well i hope all is going well there. Hope you are completing your goal to go to the temple 2 times a month. Just remember the privilege it is to have a temple so close!

Well tell everyone i said hi . Tell rae that i love her and cant wait to see here again!

Oh hey i was gonna ask if you had sent that package with batteries yet.. If you havent sent it yet maybe you could find me a few more ties and mail them to me! i really liked that red one that you sent me it was pretty awesome. Im just feelin like having a few new ties to change up the norm ya know! and i wanna leave a few with converts here so they have ties to wear to church!

Well thanks for everything mom. I love you so much and i really do appreciate everything you do for me. Love you dad and jordan aaron and ryan!

Dont forget to read your scriptures as a family!

Wow thats pretty crazy that its already summer break over there! Here it feels more like winter haha cuase its been raining and raining and raining so much. Yesterday it didnt rain but its been like a week straight of clouds and rain here.

Well this past week went really well for us! We prepared a lot of people for their baptisms and it all went really well! On friday we married 3 couples and saturday baptized 9 people including 2 couples. It was really awesome so we ended the month with 10 baptisms. We were pretty excited yesterday and saturday but im really really tired from the weekend.

Thats great that those friends of the youth are getting baptized.

I cant believe aaron will be 16 ahah.. he can actually drive legally now thats pretty scary. Tell him i said happy birthday punk! Thats good that hes been changing his character. maybe home school wasnt a bad deal after all huh.

Well im doing really well here mom no worries about me. I havent had much time to eat the candy and food from that package you sent me because we eat at 830 and when i get home im not hungry, maybe ill start carrying the food in my backpack to eat it during the day. Im getting a little bored of the ward taht im in. The people are cool and all but most of them are all really rich people. All of our recent converts are poor people that are really humble and ready to do the lords will. I just hope that division doesnt cuase people to reject the church. The night of the wedding and the baptisms our converts said that many of the people were laughing at them ( at least thats what it seemed like to them ) and ive seen that some of the members dont even want to support them as members of the church.. its rediculous. o well. I dont understand the pride of some peoples hearts. WE are going to bring this up in the Ward council...

Well hope all is well there! everything is good here im doing great and just working hard like always!!!
