Hahaha,
Brookie Cookie has a baby!!!!! Man that is so crazy. I am soo happy for her!! So Is NICH excited to have a little boy that he can teach to use a chain saw? haha So how is Brooke and Nich doing? I hope great!
Well Dad that is so crazy that you have all that stuff in your shoulder! I am so sorry! I have to admit that I did laugh for a little bit when I found out that you had a metal sliver in your eye. I think that Reeds are the only people that would have metal slivers in their eyes ;)
Well I dont have transfers so I get another cycle with my hijo! I am so excited! There are so many people here in Tulancingo that want to here about the gospel. We have this investigator that owns a tortilleria. So we go and help here make tortillas sometimes. I will have to send you some pictures;)
Well everything is great here in Mexico. I LOVE IT HERE! My language is coming little by little! We are going to baptize the 9 year old girl this next Saturday or Sunday! I am really excited! Well I better take off but I love you all so much!!!
LOVE ELDER REED
P.S. That is so awesome that Brezzy got on Riata! She must be a real cowgirl!!

HOLA DE MEXICO
Well I got tempted pretty bad yesterday. Me and my companion were walking down one of the main streets in Tulancingo when I saw and heard something amazing. In a little shop where they sell chips and drinks ( its kinda like a gas station) the SUPER BOWL was playing. Oh man, I wanted to watch it so bad but I thought to myself if I dont watch it the lord will bless us. Well later that night we found a less active family and talked to them for awhile. We found out that they have a 9 year girl that hasn't been baptized. Well this next week we are going to baptize her. It is amazing how the Lord will try your faith before he will bless you. Ether 12:6 So dad's shoulder is bothering him. That isn't good. Do you know if he has gotten a blessing. If not I would recommend it. I have seen so many miracles happen through the power of the priesthood! It truly is the power to act in Gods name. I will be praying for him though. So the cardinals lost. Oh man I wish I could of seen that game. It sounded really intense! Well at least they got to the super bowl. Next year they are just going to have to win ;) Well I better take off but I love you all so much. Maybe if you could, you could send me some more pictures of our family. I love seeing how big everyone is getting. Well I love you all so much and please let me know if you need anything.
con mucho Amor

Hey momma and dad!!
That is so awesome that Riata might be sold. This Thursday I will be fasting for a family that we are teaching and I will also be fasting to sell Riata. Dad you might never actually realize how big of a missionary tool those FHE are. Now that I have been on my mission I realize how grateful I am when you have someone in the Ward that will help you out. Thank you so much for helping those missionaries out I know they really aprreciate you!!! Well momma I laughed pretty hard when I heard your horseshoe story. Heavenly Father really does answer prayers huh ;) So Jareds b day is coming up. I have been wanting to sent him something but shipping things here is so expensive so I guess he will just have to wait 18 months. Well everything is going great here. My spanish is coming along. Its wierd some days I feel like I can say anything I want and another day I feel like I cant even talk. The lord is probably just keeping me humble.;) Well I hope all is going great down in AZ. When do the cardinals play. I hope they do good. Well I better take off but I love you all so much!

Hey family!!
I can't believe that the cardinals are going to the Super Bowl. The year that I can't watch them is the year they decide to do good. Go figure. haha. Well I have some news here from Tulancingo ( oh this is the name of the city that I am in right now :) We had 2 baptizms this past Sunday. There names are Marcela y Guadalupe. The are so amazing and grateful for the gospel. It is so amazing how the Lord will prepare people and all you have to do is trust in him and talk to people and be OBEDIENT! I love this gospel so much. Well I have a pretty ironic story for you all. My companions name is Elder Lechuga and he is such an amazing Elder. Well we were talking this past week about his stay in the MTC. Well he told me that his companion in the MTC was going to a different mission than him so I asked him what mission he was going to. He told me that he was assigned to go to Mission Mexico West. Well, I write Preston about every week and he told me that he recieved a new missionary to train the same time I did so this past week I asked preston what his name was and he told me. Well come to find out Prestons companion was the companion of my companion in the MTC! How ironic is that. I just about peed my pants when I found out. So I guess we are just one big happy missionary family. Well that is my story for this week. So how is everyone doing? Are you all staying busy? Oh and yes mom I did get the package you sent me finally. Thank you so much. I love the John Deere stocking. All the Mexican Elders in my district loved all the "American" food that you sent me ;) haha Well all is well here just staying busy learning the language and preaching the gospel. I love you all so much and please let me now if I can do anything for you all.

Hey mi familia!!!!
How is everyone doing? Sounds like there were some big changes in the ward this past week. Dad I am soo excited that you get to be a ward missionary!!!!!! That is one of the most important callings I think you could have right now!! You are going to do great! Always remember that we have the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and we must never take it for granite! We always need to be sensitve to the spirit and when we are prompted to do something DO IT! Mom I knew that you would stay in the Young womens presidency. You are such an inspiration to everyone you come in contact with. Those girls need a role model like you especially in these rough times. It is amazing that good and bad is really starting to stand out. We must always stand for truth and righteousness! So how is our ward doing? Well my new area is amazing and my companion as well. We haven't had any baptisms these past 2 weeks but we might have 8 in 2 weeks. I am really excited. My companion is teaching me as much as I am teaching him. He is such a great example to me. Well how is all the family doing? Are you staying busy with work? Has anyone got married lately that I know? Well I hope all is well with you. I miss you all but I know I am where I need to be right now. I LOVE YOU ALLL

Thank you for Emilies email address. I will be praying for her.

Hey Momma,
Well my new area is called Pachuca. It is the farthest north area in our mission. It is so green and beautiful! Alot different than my other area! I LOVE IT. My hijo is doing great. He is really humble and wants to work which is great. Well how is everything going with you? Are you staying busy? I sure hope so. So how was your new years eve? We had to be in our houses at 6:00. I guess it was for protection. There are some crazy people over here in Mexico :) Well I am having to talk alot more to people now because I am the Senor Companion now which is a good challenge for me. It is amazing how the Lord will help you when you need it. Well me and my companion are staying really busy! Oh I forgot to tell you about my companion. His name is Elder Lechuga and he is from Guadalahara, Mexico ( I dont know how to spell it :) He is the same height as Brooke :) But is really a hard worker. He has been a member for about 5 years. He knows how this gospel can change peoples lives so he wants to share it with everyone. There will be people that I will walk by because I dont think that they will listen to us but he will go right up and start talking to them. He is a great example for me. Well how is the family doing? That is so awesome that you got the tile layed in the Laundry room. I wish I was there to help. Well I better get going. I LOVE YOU ALL THOUGH!!!
Elder Reed
Oh right now the best address to send stuff to is the same address you have been sending stuff to. Its only when you are going to send a package that you need to let me know. THANKS!!!
