HOLA
So you got my letter. Good cause I was scared that some mexicans were going to open it and take of the 20 pesos I sent you. I am really glad it made it to you. Well everything is going great here. Me and my companion are working hard like always and staying really busy. This next week we have transfers and I have a feeling that either me or my companion will be having changes. My companion is really amazing and such an example for me. I have a feeling that he will become a trainer this next cycle. Well I really don't have any stories this week but I am really glad that our family is involved in missionary work right now. It is amazing how much the missionaries need the help of the members. Pres. Spencer W. Kimball said " Every member a missionary that is the calling from God." I know for a surety that if you want to receive blessings from God and feel joy in your life GET INVOLVED IN MISSIONARY WORK. I really hope everyone is doing great. Right now me and my companion are teaching about 20 lessons a week and contacting about 300 people a week. I love you all sooo Much and please let me know if I can do anything for ya.
Con mucho amor

Well Hola de Mexico,
I really can't believe how fast these days are flying by!! It feels like I just barely left on my mission still. Well this week went pretty good. Me and my comp are working hard and teaching alot of people. It is kinda hard to get people to go to church though because our building is about 45 minutes away from our area. Its difficult because we don't have money to pay a taxi to take us and the families to church and neither do the families. I know that the Lord will prepare a way for us though. So Lehi days sounds like it was a blast. Congrads on winning the Grocery Race!!! Linsey Davis told me that she won the Race with Jared and James, and it didn't really surprise me when she told me that the belt buckles were exactly the same as last year except the year was different. I figure you all just need to win the grocery race 3 more times, get all your belt buckles, Melt them together and make one big belt buckle instead of having 5 little tiny chincy ones ;) Boy how I love Lehi days. Did James do the Crate Race? If so could you let me know how he did? Well we are going to be having transfers here in about 2 weeks and I am pretty excited. I think me or my companion will be having changes. Its sad to leave all your investigators but always fun to meet new people and live in a different city. It is so crazy, in different parts of Mexico people talk completamente differente. The people from the Northern part of Mexico talk so fast with alot of slang while the people from the south part talk much slower and are easier to understand, well at least for me. Well I better get going but I love you all so much. Let everyone know that if they need anything to let me know. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Con mucho amor,

Oh and my Spanish is coming along little by little. I understand almost everything, but its alot different listening and speaking ;) I love it though!

Hey momma,
Well I got a story for ya. Yesterday I was getting ready for Church and I got done taking my shower and then got my suit on. Well, I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth but when I got into the bathroom I remembered that I needed my waterbottle on my desk. Well I started to head out of the bathroom but as I turned around to go out the door was half way closed. Well as you guessed I ran straight into the egde of the door, But this is no ordinary door this is a mexican wood door. Well the edges of this door hasnt been sheared, so this door slit my foreheard open about 2 inches long. Well I went and showed my companion but he didnt seem to think it was that cool. Luckily I had my handy dandy wal mart first aid kit that had some bandaids. Well I put one on but it looked pretty silly so little. Momma I broke the sabbath but it was for a good cause. I went and bought some super glue and glued my cut shut. It works pretty good actually. So now I have a huge cut on my forehead and everyone thinks I am crazy for gluing it shut. hahahaha Well thats my story for the week I hope you enjoyed it. Well the super bowl girl actually got baptized 2 Sundays ago and got confirmed this Sunday. We also had another baptism this past Sunday. Momma, I love this gospel so much. I am so glad that people in our ward are starting to get more involed in this marvelous work. I love you all so much and please let me know if I can do anything for ya!
Love Elder Reed

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
