Tomorrow's The day!

I never thought this day would come, yet here it is.  I am so proud of Mason and his sacrifice and willingness to go and serve the Lord.  It wasn't always easy but Mason will tell you it was worth it!  As a family, we are so ready to have him home.  We have missed him so much.  I just want Mason to know How much I love him and How grateful I am that he is my Son!  I am not sure any of us will sleep tonight because ... Tomorrow's The Day!!!

Most Special Time of my Life!

 I don't get too much time, but i just wanted to thank you for what you have done for me in these last 2 years. It has been the most special time of my life... as of yet, I know going home to all of you will be the greatest blessing I have ever had. I'm so excited to see you all! I just want you to know that I love you and I'll see you on Wednesday! I Love you!

Love,
Elder Chavez

Does't Feel Real Yet!

I feel really good this week ...it doesn't see real yet, I talked to my president today and tomorrow he'll be giving me my final interview! I am excited to get home and see everyone.  But scared at the same time.  I am really excited to get home and work with dad.  This is my last P-day. After Saturday I will start preparing to head home.  Tell everyone I love them and I will see you all soon. 

Love

I met an Apostle this Week!

 Things are going really good! I got to meet an apostle this week!!! (Elder Rasband) it was way cool, he even got to speak to us in English, it was an amazing spirit, but today was even cool ... WE went to the temple and I was able to shake his hand again, and this time I thanked him for what he shared and he just stayed shaking my hand for like 30 sec talking to me about that it was too cool!!! Time is short today.  Only 2 more Weeks! I love you and can't wait to see all of you very soon!

May Is Over!

So I am officially in my last transfer, even though it's only 3 weeks long! We had cambios last night and I got changed, well I knew I was going to get changed since Thursday when I had my interview with my mission president. They just cut my area in half and I'm in the half that didn't have much going on and I am also with a newer elder who has like 3 months in the mission. I'm not zone leader anymore, which is kinda a relief because I really just want to put all into the work in these last three weeks! I am so excited to come home soon and spend time with the family.  I love you all so much!

Love,
Elder Chavez

23 months!

As time get closer to Elder Chavez coming home the shorter and shorter his letters have become.  He is still working hard and loving the people of Bogota.  He gets along great with his companion, and they are working hard to leave the area better than they found it.  This week will be the last transfer for Mason in the Mission He Said "Things are going really good here too, kinda crazy. This week is transfers and then three weeks more and I'm home!  haha It was way weird today I went to the center with Elder Smith my good friend and hes going home this next week. So it's weird to see my friends leaving!!" A few things ... We sent a package with one of Mason's friends who was traveling to Colombia.  His luggage was left in Miami and the "Government" went thru it to make sure there was nothing in there that should not be.  They opened Mason's package and went thru it.  They took the White dress shirt that I had sent for Mason to wear home :(  They also took other gifts that mason's friend was taking back to his family in Colombia! Makes me so mad that someone can just take what they want out of your luggage.  Luckily they did not find the DEBIT card I had hidden in there for Mason.  We were worried about how we would get that safely to him.  Luckily the Lord was watching out and made sure it found him safe.  We sent Mason some peanut butter and jam (per his request) He said he and his companion have already gone through the entire jar of jam!  Mason has really missed his sweets!  Mason says to tell everyone Hi and he loves you all! He can't wait to get home and hug everyone!

Went to the Temple with Moroni

I went to the temple with Moroni today (He is one of Mason's First Baptisms)  it was pretty crazy to see him again! ill send you pics next week of Moroni and I this internet place is a little sketchy to take out my camera. haha I felt kinda bad today, I got kind of sick last night and was catching on fire at the Temple so I was there but suffering with him the whole time. haha He's going to be a good missionary. ( I am Friends with Moroni on Facebook and he looks up to Mason so much.  He will always tell me how grateful he is for Mason teaching him about the gospel)  My goal hasn't been to just be a cool missionary, but a missionary that the members remember because Ive worked hard and been obedience. It was good to talk to the family.  I am excited to come home and spend time with you guys.  I love you so much.  I feel like I don't tell you enough.  

Love
Elder Chavez
