Nov. 16th - TAKE ME SOON BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL!

Hey!  What's up everybody?  How's life?  You know its hotter then nick here ....and drunk people yell at us "Long Live Jose Smith!"...hahaha, it's the best...its the life of the mission.  The mission is super hard but I love it...the language is even harder but I keep trying my best because its what the Lord wants for me.  Serving the Lord in words is hard for me describe, but its the best.  I remember when a kid in my district in the MTC told me...I know you guys are thinking about home and wishing you could be doing the same stuff you were doing...but never let good memories take away what you got in the moment right now.  We are where and who needs to be out here.   I was reading in the Book of Mormon on my personal study and I was reading about the 2000 Stripling Warriors and to think of it that it's us as missionaries fighting the Lamanites. It's cool.  But then at the same time you don't need a missionary badge to share the gospel.  Prophet David O. Mckay said, ..."every member a missionary." I think that's true...its up to us members of the church to preach or share...or serve others...not
just missionaries.

Well this Sunday D. received the priesthood and another man. J. blessed the sacrament it was super cool to see. and the other cool part is J's daughter came to sacrament meeting and she said she loved it.  So we are working with her...and hoping she stays positive in the future.

Well, this week wasn't too eventful but I do have a couple of funny stories.  When we were street contacting....we were teaching a man who was 108 years old. He was hilarious!  When he prayed at the end of our lesson he said, "Dear God, bless the missionaries, bless the gospel...and please take me soon because I don't want to go to hell...and then he stops looks at my comp and says,  "yeah"  Then my comp says finish your prayer...hahaha!! He then finishes the prayer...he's a gangster.

Also, in the other pic are members in our ward.  They made bananas in chocolate for us...it was sooo goood.  I forgot how good chocolate is because I never eat it here, Hahaha!

We also played soccer last Saturday night it was balling...I freakin suck but my team always wins because there is kids on my team who is a straight baller,  its a joke to play with them.

Well that's my update for the week...I hope you find happiness in your work because that's what life's about..being happy...even when life is super hard.  Always smile and laugh...it's soo much easier that way, hahaha!  I

I love and pray for you guys.

Nov. 9th - I BELIEVE IF WE HAVE FAITH WE CAN HELP THEM

What's up y'all?  This week was pretty ballin...we are just teaching the beandaddies how to dougie...Hahaha!!  

But for real,  we had a baptism and it was so ballin.  It was that 16 year old kid that told us no from before.  He told us he would pray about his baptism, so he got an answer and it was yessss!!  So we baptized him yesterday and it was soooo sick. He loves us and I think that made a huge impact on his decision to be baptized which is cool that he looks up to us sooo much.

Well other then that, I have a week left with my trainer which
sucks because he's like my best friend and we work so well together.
But I also know that my next one will teach me something good...and I can learn from him too.

Well other then that not really much really happened. But we are currently trying to teach J's family which is super hard because they are catholic but I believe if we have faith we can help them come to church.

Well, I love y'all and pray for you guys constantly and think about you.

Nov. 2nd - PACKERS vs. BRONCOS

Que Pedo?  Como Estan Kaysville!  Well,  what's up?  Everybody I'm on,  I know its a little earlier then usual but and my companion and I have to go to San Salvador.  At 11:00, we get to meet his brother who is passing from Guatemala to get to Honduras.  His brother served a mission there and I guess he's visiting. Then afterwards were playing some serious futbol... Hahaha!!  It's gonna be fun.

Well, this week was pretty cool. We had interviews with the president and that was super fun. We talked about the mission and sports pretty much the whole time, he's such a boss!  He told me,  
"I'm sorry Elder Gee, but your Packer's undefeated streak is gonna come to a end!"  I' m like what the heck why?  "Because they are playing my Broncos and their gonna lose!!  We shared a good laugh about that.  So you gotta telll me who won that game so I can shove it in his face!! Hahaha!!
 
Well,  one of our investigadores J. received the aaronic priesthood and that was pretty cool.  He is so awesome because he understands everything were teaching him...and he always asks for Liahonas (aka Ensigns) to read because he loves to read.

Alright soooo I gotta a funny story from this week and last week.  So last week me and Elder A. received a package from the hermanas from our district and they said deliver this to Elder O. in
Opico...and so we opened the package to see what was in it....and to our great suprise it was a gay guy telling Elder O.,  Happy Birthday...Hahaha!!  I couldn't believe it, was sooo gross.  
Because he had like 10 letters for him and there was a 7 page note about his feelings towards him.  So we told President Hintze about it and he told us to send it back...soo we did.  Then last night we get a call from a random number and my companion answers it.  It was that guy saying Elder A. your screwing me over man!!   I'm gonna have problems with you man!!  And then my companion said..."No you're not, you aren't gonna do a single thing!"  and then he hung up the phone...Hahaha!  

Well,  that pretty much sums up the events for this week...a lot of teaching and progressing investigadores that need our help.  I know the mission is hard but I choose to keep going and enduring to the end because with the hardest of times...the greatest blessings follow!  

I love you guys and pray for you guys on a daily basis.

Mom: How often do the members feed you?

Kyle: 1 or 2 times a day. Lunch for sure, but dinner is iffy! For breakfast, we have cereal in the house that we buy from the super market.  And dinner we usually eat papusas with members or local pupsarias!

Mom:  Are you getting sick of pupusas?

Kyle: NO, I still love them!  And I haven't gained weight eating them.  I definitely have lost weight...like about 10 pounds.  I'm getting skinny.
I gotta go Momma...I love you more than anything.  I am off to San Salvador, but I can't wait for next week.  It's good talking to you.  I love you sooooo much!!

IF YOU MUSTACHE...MY MOMMA SENT ME SOME HALLOWEEN DISGUISES!

My boys...
I bet you can't even recognize us with our facial hair!!

Oct. 26th - WHY I AM A MISSIONARY

Alright! What the heck is up everybody?...how was your week.?  You already know I'm spitting mad game with all the Latinos hahaha!!.

Well, this week was super good...we had a baptism this week and he told us that he wanted me to baptize him...I felt so blessed to do so.  It was my first baptism and it was definitely a moment I'll never forget.  The man afterwards told us,  "Elders,  I got something to tell you"  and we were like alright what is it?  Then he said...."after I was baptized I felt something in my stomach and its hard for me in words to describe it, but it felt so good!  My family and I owe you guys a huge price, because whenever you guys visit you make us feel better then before"  Then he started to cry and hug my companion...it was such an emotional day.  I couldn't hold back some of my tears...it was such a good day.  It's hard for me in words to describe it but it truly was one of the best days of my life.  It was full of happiness....true happiness.  I hope one day we can all realize how much we mean to some people.  Everyday I realize more and more why I am a missionary...specifically here and this is a prime example of that...and its a memory that I'll never ever forget!!

This is the food I eat everyday, it's the best combo meal made in heaven!!

We were taught how to cut up a sugar cane stick, apparently you
bite it and suck the sugar and spit it out...its super good!

My first baptism

Oct. 19th - HOLY DICK!!

Alright y'all, whats up? Como Esta?  Well, this week was full of all sorts of stuff. I really don't know what to write because so much crap has gone on, Hahaha!  But this week we were at one of our investigators houses to eat and we ate fried fish...like the whole body of the fish was fried!! It was Elder A.'s and my first time eating this...so my companion who knows english but not all...was soo suprised he yells "HOLY DICK" Hahhaha!!  I laughed so hard he had no idea what he said at first until I told him...he started to laugh as well.

But about our baptisms...we had two baptisms set but didnt baptise anyone this week. Because the 16 year old boy told us he didn't want to anymore and I remember me and Elder A. were so sad...we didnt talk for like an hour.  We were just quiet. And the other investigator got sick of Chickgunya (its a sickness when you get misquito bites and your whole body is full of pain its awful)...so Saturday was just another empty baptismal font. It's the worse feeling ever. It's worse then losing a playoff game in the lacrosse...like 10 times worse...its just such an empty feeling. It's sad because you know that they are making the worst decision ever in their lives, but we can't force their will and their decisions... ya know?  I told President Hintze because I didn't know what to do. He said to not give up on them and told me its like a harvest...you planted the seed....doesn't mean it won't grow later...and I think that's true. I think if we can plant the seed then they can come back later. 
Well, that's all this week.

Just another day in the missionary life!

This is some homemade pizza we made with Elder J....he's good at making food!!



We bought these...it was like $8.  We got jerseys for the zone.
No, that's not my actual bed, there are 4 beds in our house. 
Since we are the only ones living here, we study on this mattress. 
Our place is pretty big but one bathroom and it stinks!!



My fried fish dinner

Oct. 12th - MI PRIMERO CAMBIO TERMINDO!!

Alright,  what the heck is up everybody?  Everything good?  You already know it's hotter then nick down here... my clothes are turning the wrong color  and I'm starting to grow hair up my freaking chest!! I have no idea what's going on...Hahaha!!  What the heck...its The GEE curse!!

 

I finally got my package and it was sooooo good!!  Thanks for filling with candy that you never eat here or find!

 

My baptisms got pushed back another week which is fine but I'm starting to lose my patience, but President Hintze will be attending the service, so I'm excited for this week...I'm almost positive this time its gonna happen!

But so far I finished my first cambio and to be completely honest it felt like it went so fast, I have no idea where the time went.  This cambio I'm staying with Elder A., my trainer, for another 5 weeks. This transfer is 5 weeks and then after that he goes to Belize.  I have no idea where I'm going after but I'm truly excited to find out.

I love you all and love your emails.   It makes the mission a lot easier for sure to know I can read emails every week.  Because you already know the mission is mentally draining, its a joke...but its so fun.

I gotta go Momma,  I love you tons and pray for me...Te Amo!!

Te Amo Ustedes
Verdadero Felicidad
Mi primero cambio termindo!!

Sept. 28th - "HEY CHILI, TIENE MUCHO DINERO!"

COMO ESTA FAMILIA?  It's really good to hear that you all are doing really good in Utah. Not gonna lie this week was pretty ballin it picked up a lot. We had a lot more success this week than I think of any other. On Wednesday I saw all the guys from my first district, it was pretty cool at a trainers meeting.  I have pics. We also have 2 baptisms this week. We pray that they won't fall through, but I feel like they won't because the people are super positive and have came to church.  So that's good news! 

 

Also, me and my companion were making pupusas with some less active members but they absolutely love the missionaries.  It was hilarious!  They were telling us why they weren't coming to church. They said it's because they don't want to pay their tithing.  But we told them you can still come to church though and they said I don't know. 

 

I've said this once before but I'll say it again...I think I'm the only white guy in this town, Hahaha!! So when me and my trainer pass by all the drunk people they come up to me and and say...."Hey chili tiene mucho dinero."  Which means you have a lot of money.  My trainer is a champ because he yells at them and says leave us alone, we don't have money and you wouldn't steal from God would you?  They said no....and then he replyed then you definitely wouldn't steal from His children then, would you? Hahaha!!  He's so balling and he is such a good teacher.  When we teach, he helps me a ton with Spanish and when ever I stumble on a word.  I picked up a ton of Spanish this week.  I can understand it a lot better... more then ever and its so freaking sick to know that you can speak the language.

 

Anyways,  I pray that the baptisms don't fall through this week...so pray for that.  I love you guys and pray for you always.

Oh! we are going to watch general conference at Santa  Techla, it's the area near the beach,

Te Amo Ustedes!

Elder Gee
