From Seth,
I'm graduating. Whew.
My favorite talk in conference was President Uchtdorf's priesthood talk.
I can't wait to go on a mission. I can't wait for us to be companions in Peru. I am meeting with the Stake on Wed.
I'm doing a project in my creative writing class, I'm making magical pants. It's an idea I had where you have a usb port at the bottom of your pocket and it's connected to copper coils and a magnet and a capacitor. It works like a Faraday flashlight. You know the ones that you shake to power but in these, when you walk, it will generate power to charge a cell phone that you put in your pocket. I don't know how it will turn out, but I will let you know.
Love ya, I'll talk to you later.
Seth
Seth!!!!!!!! I can´t believe you are graduating! it just doesn´t seem right. But I am not kidding, I pray every day that you will get called to Perú. I know its where the Lord wants you to serve so I will be crazy excited for whatever call you receive but shoot, I can´t help but hope you get sent here. That pants idea is awesome! Really! That could be something. Let me know every step of the mission process and where you are at. I love you Big Guy!

From Nathan,
This week in school, I'm supposed to give a speech on a character in Greek Mythology and I chose Chaos just because he sounds cool even though I know nothing about him. After doing some research, I found out he is the Greek God of the creation of the universe. I know boring huh. But I think the speech will turn out pretty good. I have to give it tomorrow.
Anyway, I loved General Conference this weekend. My favorite talk was Russell M. Nelson's talk, and my favorite part was when he said, "We all put our faith in something, it might be a sports team, or a famous celebrity, but even the greatest of sports teams can fail, and even the most famous celebrities can fade, the one person that you can trust to put your faith in is Heavenly Father."
Well I hope you have a great time in Peru. Have fun bro,
Nathan
Nathan! That sounds like a cool speech! And I loved conference too. I am impressed on how much you remembered. That talk by Elder Nelson was awesome. President Eyring talked about heros in his. It was something similar. That he always had sports heros and things like that but nothing compared to the Priesthood heroes he had in his life. I sure love you buddy!

From Grant,
Hey bro, my name is Grant. My favorite talk was President Uchdorf's talk about putting his hand on the throttle of the president's plane and president Monson said from behind him, Dieter, don't even think about it.
I went to a friend’s birthday party that was at a legit air-soft place. I was killing it literally. We went to Burger King on the way there and Red Robin on the way home. It was like $15 a person if you have everything you need and all I had to rent was the mask because I had the gun and everything.
Love you bro
Can't wait to see you in another year.
Grant
Hello Grant, I loved that joke that President Uchtdorf told about the plane. That was the funniest one he has ever done I think! =) I bet the birthday party you went to was fun. I sure do crave burger king. Haha I love you! I can´t wait to see you in a year! It will go by fast!

Dear Elder,
How was your week??? Mine went by super fast just because it's been crazy at work. It was so nice to just chill at home this weekend and watch conference. I especially loved the Priesthood Session. I can't wait to listen to that one again. We've also been busy today filling out addresses for Seth's graduation announcements. That's weird to say that!
What's been going on in Huaraz? Did you watch conference in English or Spanish? How have you been feeling? I heard that Grandma Karen sent you some Sports Illustrated. She makes me mad when she does that. I'll try to explain to her (again) that that's not appropriate. Just toss them. Daddy's just trying to watch out for you! :) Everything is going great here. Seth has an appointment with Pres. Schoof for his Melchezidek Priesthood interview on Wednesday. We're so excited about that!
I hope you are healthy! We love hearing about your teaching adventures! I think I have to start reading Preach My Gospel. There were a lot of good missionary talks in this conference. Well, I'm sure your momma is gonna send you a long one so I'll keep mine short.
¡Ámele hijo!
Papá
Hey dad!!!! Wow conference was fantastic! And I got to watch it in english which I was really happy about. I can understand everything in spanish and it almost makes it worse because in conference, even though the translators are great, it just doesn´t come out the same. I am so excited for seth! Let me know what is going on with him every step of the way. Teaching has been going well, we are hoping to take some baptism dates out this week so we are excited about that! Huaraz is great. We are going to play soccer today as a zone, but the cool part is we found a full size soccer field of turf! I am stoked. It isn´t the same as concrete. Haha I sure love you dad!
