Querida mami

Thanks for posting the pic of the monkey and it didn't bite me. ya i guess i havnt checked the date on my camera.

Thank you for the address it is a friend in provo who i havnt talked to in a while and wanted to. if you haven't sent the packge/card yet send it to the mission home address it the only way i will get it. If you havn't sent it yet there are a few things i wouldn't mind having: There are a lot of dogs here that bark and run after us and i can't find a dog whistle here, one where you blow and can't hear anything because the pitch is too high but dogs cant stand it, so send me one of those from the states, also tichonderoga pencils, one pack ought to last my mission, bleach pens from tide, they don't sell them here and they are dead useful for stains. and last if you can find them replacement laces for my church shoes, both have four eyeloops on each side(8 in total) the smaller ones use a thick round style and the boots use a flat lace.If you want to include some dulces i won't mind, i havent hade a reese's peanut butter cup in 3 months!

oh ya Cebre is a girl from BYU ( my first two semesters) i actually saw her while i was in the MtC; on my way back from the temple. oh and an interesting tid bit i had to graduate seminary to go to peru so tell shaun to endure through his last year becuase if he doesn't graduate it will limit his oppurtunites or places to serve.

I love you mom and love to here from you. I hope you are well and pray for your success in your callings talk to you soon.



Querido papi

Say hi to justin for me
my area is Zárate in stake las flores i wrote more but again the computer erased what i wrote im going to try to get as much back down as i can. i have lost quite a bit of weight. i can go down to the last notch in my belt but my pants scrunch up real bad. the monkey was a pet at a house and is the only one i have seen. it was so dirty! we eat every meal with our pensionista except sunday lunch the members love to feed us but dont really gicve us referrals. the work load is fine, i am just trying to learn to be led by the spirit because i didn't really master that before my mission, if you have any suggestions let me know.

I love you dad and pray for your success. i am grateful to only have one calling. you have always been an amazing example to me of a father, priesthood bearer and a friend.

With love always

Querida papi

ya i know its wierd to get old letters and i cant promise that there will be a letter thereevery week. now that i am in the field it costs 2-3 dollars to send one envelope! but i promise at least one a month. i am happy to hear all the news about football, not to beconfused with futbol. And ifyou ever see Evan say i for me. tahtreminds me, I can only send one email a week so mom has to forward it to you.

The field is so different than the CCM but i am enjoying it. We get next to no referrals from members, only those we receive contacting.wedo quite a bit of contacting and a lot of teaching the restoration, which is cool because the spirit bears testimony of joseph smith each time, but i would like the people to be progressing more. we don't have anyone ready for baptism. church is tough all in spanish, but i understand most of what is said to me unless it's said like a thousand miles an hour! But expressing myself is a lot tougher.

Well im sorry i can't remember what i wanted to tell you at christmas but you might find it interesting that i am the only white person in my whole Zone, not just area but zone! I love you papi and am always greatful for your emails. i will try to send more post cards, and let me know about the jersey. ¡Nos vemos!

Love,

Querida mami

I hate giving you like a shopping list, but there are a few things i need. whenever you send that package with the businesscards please put in some pills for my throught. i dont needthe boxes just the packet of 7 pills connected is fine. also in need you to forward the following message to jmackproject@myldsmail.net:

Sorry Elder McClurg, ive got a new mission rule that i can only send one message a week to my family. i would love to keep hearing from you but i cant write back. maybe i will have my mom forward stuff.

Love you mom but im out of time. i hope to hear from you soon. like always you can read dads portion it goes for boh of you. Love you lots, and pray for you daily, please do the same for me, this work isnt easy, but i guess if it was it wouldnt be worth it. Para siempre Dios esté con te. Te amo

First before i forget thank omi for her email end explain that i can read her email but cant respond. also let here know that if she sends a letter i will receive it.

I love you mom and hope to hear from you next week. Keep me in your prayers and I will do the same. Always remember the Saviour He knows us personally and cant forget us. (alma 7: 11-13; 1 ne. 21:14-16) :)

Dad thanks for the email. sounds like you had a busy weekend. Sorry i dont know an elder turley. The Jerseys cost about 15-maybe 20 soles which is like 6 or 7 bucks. let me know if you want me to pick you up one, i might be able to next week. my new comp. is elder burgos from Ecuador hes really cool and a great trainer. communicating is still not easy but you do what you have to. apanish is coming i just want it all right now. there was something i forgot to tell you over the phone but i cant remember it now. i will try to remember it for next week. well i am out of timebut i love you and prayfor you. pray for my success.

Umm...i got your last email but i didnt get one for like two or three weeks before that so ive just been telling you how i have been doing. Which by the way is really good. I hit the field in a week and am really excited but a little nervous. I hope your christmas season is amazing and i can't wait to call you! i just dont know when i will get to call yet.

By the way if you were going to send me something for Christmas dont include internation stamps; i cant use them.I love you siempre!

Hey mom!

I hope all is well and the Christmas season is going great for you! I love you with all my heart.

I know that Christ is our savior; that he died for us adn gave us the greatest gift we could ever have. I know that this Christmas season that if you seek our savior and seek to know more about Him that you can grow closer to Him and feel more of His everlasting love and peace.

Love,

Querida mamá!

I didn't get an email from you this week but i though i would just drop you a line. Lifes good here, im part of the older group now which is really wierd! Its been a really fun week and today we get to go on a tour around the city and actually shop for things like jackets and such! I sent another letter to you guys i hope you get it soon. In it i mentioned if you are already sending a package to the mission home you might want to throw in some shampoo-head and shoulders- deoderant-speed stick:ocean surf- and triple A batteries for my camera-im taking a lot of fotos for you! Also, once i leave the CCM i cant send you letters using American stamps so i kinda need international stamps to keep writing. If your not sending anything don't worry im sure i can find them in the city. just letting you know bc the less shopping i have to do the less stress.

The other thing in the letter is instructions pertaining to the Wagners. I reiterate them here just in case you cant read my hand writing: one of my teachers back in provo MTC was Israel Rosales. He mentioned that he knew some people from the mormon colonies in chihuahua, mexico and i asked him if he knew the wagners, and he said which ones and i said kevin, then hes like you know kevin! and i said ya he is in my stake back home. Any way i want to know if Kevin remembers him. hermano rosales is from Mexico City, so please ask them for me!

As just a last note, at this point any responses to letters you send you may want to just send to my mission home so it doesn´t get here after i leave. My head still hurts all the time because of how much language i am taking in daily, but i do enjoy spanish, one of the coolest parts of spanish is the himnos-hymns! they dont all directly translate but several of the spanish versions i like better! one example is that in the song called to serve, there is a line in the spanish version that doesn't exist in the english version: listo, siempre listo; anyway its kinda a motto around here you will have to check with dad to get the translation. I really want you guys to continue to read eachothers emails because i never get everything i mean to say into one, and just because it address it to one doesn't mean its not for the others eyes. As an example i shared a scripture in dads that hit me very powerfully this week that i want you to read as well.

I love you more than words can express, and grow to appreciate you more everyday of the mission. I miss the ability to just be able to call you when ever i feel like it or at least write an email to you any day of the week. But i am so grateful to be here and be trusted as a representative of Christ. The only girl in our district got pretty sick this week and they made her go home last night at least until she is better. anyway, i saw the way it tore her up to leave because she wanted to be here and was loving being a missionary. I know this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and i dont want to waste it. i love you Mom and want to thank you for the way you have raised me.

Love,
Elder Spencer Fogleman

Hey mom!

sorry about using english but my brain is fried and i dont have a lot of time! today is thanksgiving and adn we did a service project all day and have dinner soon!

first off dont worry about my mission friends i unfortunately dont have time to keep up on them :( as far as family goes i would love hand written letters...i dont get very many but i did get grandman and grandpa's and have written back it will probably arrive in the next few days. any letter you send to me you can use the return address i used on the letters i just sent to you until like ñmy last week and a half here then just send to my mission home!

everythinhg is fine and my companion has commented on my moaning but its not to bad-he just sleeps with ear plugs. packages are arriving just fine there just the issue of customs to work out-the ccm won't take care of it so either you have to when you send it or i have to when it gets here. All my stuff is great and so am i tonight we are having traditional american food for thanksgiving!!

I love you so much and am thankful for all ou have down for me and for the way you have raised me.

Love,
Elder Spencer Fogleman
