Well this last week was pretty good, but kinda hard. We had good fun days with our district and our zone but with this last week being transfers we had to help out a lot and we ended up losing a lot of time. We kinda had to run around all over the place. I have now officially been to every single area in this zone. I got to go to Melgar this last week which is the area of my good friend Elder Haralson ,my companion from the mtc. I had to go there to help them out with a baptism interview. I forgot to tell you that my district had grown ... in the past it was just my companion and I with two other elders but now we have two more Elder with us. So that makes things a lot more fun. So after a whole week of running around we got to my birthday which was pretty fun. I woke up to some fun phone calls from the members singing to me, and then that night we went out to celebrate. haha one of the familias invited me to dinner, so we ran and ate some hamburgers with them. My one really good friends here. Sister Sandra couldn't do anything on Saturday so we went to her house yesterday and she made me a huge fruit salad. I'll have to send you a picture of it. We ended the week good though. We have a new family they have actually come to church for a long time but haven't wanted to take the discussions from us because they wanted to be ready. So this last week we started to visit them and they are way excited to be baptized, they have a date for the 3 of October so we are working really hard with that. I really want to get lost more, I feel like for a while there I lost some of my vision and started thinking more about me and that was really wrong of me. I hate the fact that I have only ten months left, I want to get better and I don't have the time I need. But I guess that's why I have the lord, to help me with that that I can not do.
Love-
Elder Chavez

HaPpY 19Th BiRtHdAy!
Dear Elder Chavez,
I seriously can not believe that 19 years have come and gone as fast as they have. Today is a bittersweet day for me. My heart is so full of Love for you. You made me a Mom, you gave me a life that I never thought possible. You gave me Hope at a time I had none. You're not here at home today with us to celebrate. You're thousands of miles away ... for that I am sad. But your purpose of being there makes my heart happy! You have grown into such a fine young man. I often think about the people your dad and I were when we had you ... young, dumb and had no clue what this life was all about. And then I think about you Mason, The sweet strong spirit you are. And the courage you had to step forward at a time when Heavenly Father asked "Who would go down and help these two lost people?" I picture you quietly raising your hand and stepping forward saying " I will go!" You knew what we needed, your sweet spirit showed us the true reason for this earthly life. I always knew you were special! You were always a little man from the beginning. I often joke ... I don't know who raised who! Haha! But seriously Mason, You have taught so much to me and your Dad in the 19 years you have been here!!! You make us laugh, you tease everyone all the time. You know how to frustrate me almost as much as your Dad! Haha! And lately you have made us cry, cause we miss you so much!!! But through the tears you make us smile. We await Monday's as though it is Christmas every week! Seeing the growth and the changes in you each week, make us so happy and proud to be your Mom and Dad! You still continue to teach and amaze me each and every day with your strength and determination to do what's right! I am so proud of who you have become. I know you worry about choices you have made and if you could have done better. But listen to me when I say, Never regret the choices you have and will make, they are what build character, they teach us what we really want and need in this life. We are so proud of you for making this choice to serve The Lord! There is no better gift that I could give you at this time in your life than this experience! I hope you cherish this gift! Love the people of Colombia with all your heart and Strength and give them the Love and Hope that you gave to our family! We love you more than you will ever know Mason! We hope you enjoy this day and know that we love you and are thinking about you always!
