Mother I got the package of cookies thank you so much its so exciting to see a package of something. a normal day here is wake up 6:30 shower, breakfast, personal, companion, language, and MDT time from 7:30-11:30, go to lunch, gym, class, dinner, class, plan, and then go to bed! we are in class for about 14 hours a day! i really am getting used to it and its not super bad. ha its weird being a District Leader. I feel like i have to watch out for everyone now and not just me. which i do. but its good other than every sunday i have like 3 meetings. also another thing i interview my companions and see how evertything is going and its seriously so crazy whats going on in everyones lifes. we are all so unique and thats why Heavenly Father put us all together so that we could work out all the things together. one elder in my district is thinking about going home! as i have been talking with him and praying for him and giving him scriptures this and that, the other night i had a really hard time cause i feel like i am in charge and have to keep him here. but its good i think he knows whats right.

A new chapter

Jace will leave in the morning for Bolivia. We are so proud of him and the accomplishments he has made in the short two months he has been a Missionary. Unfortunately Jace was unable to get his visa in time to go to the Peru MTC in September like had been planned, but through a series of unknown events to us, Jace says he knows it was for a purpose that he was left in Provo.

I am so excited to be able to share with family and friends both letters and pictures from Jace through this blog. In the next few weeks there will be much to catch up on; from his mission call to now.

I plan on printing this blog into a book when he gets home, so the more to add the merrier. Please feel free to add anything you would like for him to remember about these last few special months.

adios!
