That sound like a good weekend watching some good football! Last Thanksgiving in the mission... what! No we will probably not be eating turkey... and they don't have Swanson here... so pizza will do. I am having a good time, things are going very well right now, I am living in the same house as one of my best buds, that I will probably go to college with. Just got a new comp who is American so that will be cool! and life is good! Right now I am District leader, it just makes me worry, ha, how to help the other missionaries have success and give them enthusiam, but it is a good to learn how to lead a little in the church. The reason that they can't send food is for the boarder, I guess that there can be problems crossing the American products, but if you ever want to send something that has food after Christmas you can send it here to Mexico. 

  Should be a good weekend with the shopping! my comp right now is good, I will let you know if there is someone that could use something. 

  So this week was good, we put a baptism date with a family and they seem like they will progress well, and we have a couple of other people with dates right now that are pretty solid, Maria now has a date in a couple of weeks and we are going to baptize a young woman that is really cool, and she can sing like Fergie, pretty cool! I got to go to work. 

Love you paps.

 Love,

 your baby boy!! 

Wow! Thanksgiving, maybe we will order a pizza to celebrate or something haha. Yeah I know soon I will be talking to you on skype sweet! So the trasfers were today, my comp left and I got another comp named Elder Molano he is from Pennsylvania, he has a little over a year in the mission and I don't know much else about him, he is a big guy. 

Okay so I just want you to apply me for UVU and USU those two and that's it. Yes I got your package!! thanks a ton! and I got a package from Wendi and Mckell! Tell them thanks a ton also!! hey I open up the card that you sent me in the package waiting for it to say sometihng, ya know some works of encouragement, love, or advice and on the giant sheet of paper there is nothing.... how sentimental my parents are haha. (mom is going to send a nice encouraging note!)

 I like to hear how the little guys are doing and great to hear they are doing well. 

I know this work is the work of God and that His Son leads and guides us. 

I love you mother .

Love,

 your favorite kid!!

The Zone

Dang, that is really sad news.... (Tracy Hoskins accident) Yeah not much of bad weather, but I did have to put on a sweater this morning to go out side cause it was a little chilly. That is awesome that you could reactivate someone that sometimes is harder than having a baptism! 

Haha that is pretty funny that River got called to the same mish really cool actually! 

I love the little Redd boys,  I love all of my nephews and nieces! 

Yeah the Patriarch and Stake Pres. talked in our ward this last week and it was really good! they talked about blessings of coarse. 

  We had a wonderful week, three more children of God walked into the waters of baptism this week I will try to get some pics over to ya.

The Lord is blessing us mucho! this will be the last week of this transfer so next week I will be with a new comp. That is crazy that some of the buds are going home!! 

  Yeah I got some buds taht are thinking about UVU and I think it would be a good idea, I would love if you could apply me to UVU and To USU... but the dead line is coming up soon.. like December something. 

 another thing,  I need picturs of Grandpa Z and Pete and one of grandma Pete and the rest of the 4 gereracions also. It can be a pic from whatever age they don't have to be old. 

Thanks!

 Love you mommy!

Hey paps, things are going well this fine day! Yeah really chill up there in the north. I get to write some buds in the time we have to write so that is really nice. Like Corn, Riley, and others. Oh I am pretty excited to eat some good ol' roast beast. 

  That would be really nice to have a ward mission leader that new how to work well,  ours is an awesome guy and is willing to do anything that we ask but he does not know how to work on his own, so that is kind of rough, seems like that is how the whole ward is they are willing to work but don't know how.  Look up on the internet a trip to hawaii about the obra misional,  I think it would be a good idea.

 I have heard a little bit about the problames that are going on right now but most of that is down south, and things are really calm where we are at. 

  So today was full of stuff to do cut the hair, buy food, eat, and clean seems like we don't do much else on Pdays. But this week went very well Like I told mom we had three baptisms so that was for sure the highlight of the week, and we will have a nother one this week so thats pretty cool! This week we went by this family Saturday night to teach them the first two priciples of lesson 2 and the sabbath day so I got done teaching about the sabbath and the lady just says yeah! so wheres the church at? Ha it was pretty cool,  even cooler that she was there on Sunday! We are going to have a family home evening with a family today so that should be some good stuff we will be invinting them to baptisms! really everything is going well, we will have to see where I write you from next week, I think I will stay here, my comp has 6 months in this area so he is bound to go. 

Thanks for all of your support.

 I love you! 

Love,

 Elder Zundel

First things first paps, we will be seeing who will be schooling who when I walk through the front door. And sounds like you guys have a bunch of plans for these next couple of weeks! Tell you what I love hearing that all of my brothers and sisters are doing well, I have really been focusing on them in my prayers lately I hope as well that they continue to do well and have success. Yeah Grandps sent me an email about the bathroom and all that should be really good for them,  I really want to spend more time with them when I get home. Nope I haven't heard anything about the mormonm movie here. hopefully it will  have a good impact! 

  Okay so this week was a pretty good week we started out a little rough with a lot of flat tires and fallen appointments, but all of that made a change later. My favorite Elder in the mish came to live in the same house as me on Tuesday night and now we are living in the same house!! Elder Watts I have talked about him before. and it is really nice having a really good bud to be with! Then we found some good people to teach, some lady is pretty stoked to get baptized the 18 of December because it is her birthday! ha and we are going to baptize a young woman and a young man this week and their interview for the baptism went very well. The Elder that did the interview lasted like 10 minutes and comes out and says YUP! theyre ready! So that is really cool. They are ALan and His sister Alexandra. My camera is getting cleaned right now so I don't have pics to send home but next week I will get some to you no worries. 

All is well here we have 2 weeks left in the transfer and I would imagine that I will stay here for the next transfer, but who knows the Pres is pretty crazy about the transfers. 

I love you Dad I pray for you and mom every day I am so lucky to have you as parents, God loves me!

 Love,

Elder Zundel

Hey mom just thought I would tell you that I love you! 

  Sounds like an AWESOME Thanksgiving!! (2015) Will we be able to go boating?? I will let you know about the packages when I get them. Hey just a heads up I sent you a message about packages and after the new year you can't send any type of thing that you consume... check the email good and it has more info. 

I saw Elder Graff the other week when I went to Tijuana for a leader meeting he seems like he will be a really good elder just a little guy though.. Hey I am also thinking about going to UVU to school.. who knew?? Don't have a lot of time this week we moved houses and our new house is HUGEEEEEE and super nice. 

I love you very very much!! 

Love ELder Zundel

November 3, 2014

Well something that I have learned from the Mexican people is that you have to use every opportunity you have to have a fiesta!  

  I would Imagine that all of the little guys are really cute, and real grown up! They will be a lot different by the time I get back! I am excited to get these little gifts from the little guys. How many contacts did you send me, hope just for 6 months cause I think that is all I will need. Thanks for sending the school stuff that will be nice to look over. Yeah it is really cooling down here in these last 3 days, still pretty warm during the day but cool at night. 

I had to go to Tijuana for a meeting and for visa stuff. Life is on the free way just a cruzin along! 

Really President Thurgood hit it on the nail, we have to have the spirit with us to protect us from the Physical and Spiritual dangers of the world and to help us spread the light that we have. 

Love you mother!!! 

Love,

 Elder Zundel

Jay bird, Well there isn't much to see here in San Luis Rio Colorado, El rio pues no tiene agua.(for sight seeing) I will see if I can get someone to take us to the dunes, well I think there are some dunes here close. That does make me feel good that people care about me! 

  My comp Elder Canche is a many of few dreams, well just not sure of what he wants to study when he gets back home. He does have plans to further his education and to have a nice job and all of that good stuff. I believe he comes from a family that is not rich nor poor just normal. I would imagine that he will like in Campeche for all of is life he seems to like it a lot! 

 Yeah thats alright when you want to put stuff on facebook have at it! That is cool that you guys got some good seats at the Jazz game some pretty cool stuff! I really do love Monday as well I love hearing from you, Hey I would Imagine that you took some pitures during halloween, send them my way! 

  Well this week I was out of my sector for 3 and a half days... that is a lot of time out of your area. I went to Tijuana until Tuesday night, then I went and did enterchanges with a place called Ciudad Morelos, so that was kind of rough not having a lot of time in my area. But we are right back in it. We have a lot to do this week, really we have to focus on finding new people to teach so that we can baptize every week! 

October 27, 2014

Mother I love you so! I am going to write a long letter to dad because I don't have much time at all this week to write I had to come to Tijuana and I will need to use my credit card to get back to San luis tomorrow just a heads up. like 25 dollars. I got the package from Lisa Tell her so much thanks and that I love her!!!!! 

I love you mom.

 Love,

 Elder Zundel

Well Father things are going great here! and sounds like things are going very well back home. Get me a picture of Jason's deer!! Sounds like an awesome idea for missionary work in the ward. 

   Okay so I commented a little bit about the family that we baptized last week (i forgot my camera so I will sent pictures next week) but I love them! They are so loving and they love us! It was awesome to be able to baptize them! Now we have to keep them active. So that was the highlight of the week.  

Here are a couple of pics from our baptism from last last week! Familia Guevara

We had a pretty crazy experience too. So we went Saturday morning to visit Maria de la Luz she is a lady we are teaching and will get baptized here soon. She wasn't home... but we heard someone greeting in the house in front of her. Turns out there was a really old lady like 150 or so with her daughter, who was handicapped, in there house and the old lady was yelling to have her move something. So we yelled in there and got her attention and she yells back "Tell the lady in front to make us some food we haven't eaten in 2 days". So we explained that the lady, Maria, wasnt there. So she says "Oh what am I going to do"... So Elder Canche and I jumped her fence and walked in her house and yelling in her ear, because after 120 people don't hear, asked her if she wanted that we make her food. She agreed so we went back in her kitchen and made up some eggs and wienies and some oatmeal. haha a pretty crazy experience. 

  Alejandra and her brother Alan are progressing really well both of them will be baptized in November!! Things are going well here, um I think that I could use some nutty butters. My shoes are doing alright right now because we are on bikes so we hardly walk. I had to go to Tijuana last night, and I will be heading back to San Luis tomorrow so I will have to buy the ticket to get back for about 25 $ I love you paps Love Elder Zundel!!! 

(Oh I could use some Garment bottoms too like two.)
