Que honda? Whats up! How was your week? Its good to hear from you again.Thank you for the pictures! I loved them. It looks like your ready for the baby just get out. I know everything will go as planed this week. I will keep you and Parker as I always do, my prayers.
This week, We have our Zone Conference. Pres. Rex and his wife both spoke to us. Mrs. Rex told us how girls do like us and then gave her motherly advice and how to keep our apartments clean. President spoke to us about the consequences of flirting on the mission. These to years are for you to give all your time and efforts to the Lord. The Lord will bless us for your efforts. Also, me and my comp. have been doing a lot of knocking doors and just trying to find more people to teach. We need more people. We have only been teaching Rosa and she also has a baptism date but we haven't been able to meet back with her again. She has been skipping out or busy, who knows. We have taught the first lesson to many random people. Which is good. I always tell the Jose Smith story because its my favorite and I always feel the spirit.
Story: Yesterday me and my comp were knocking doors. We came up to this house and the door was open so, we could see there tv. We were waiting at the front gate. Elder Palomera says I think there watching the Book of Mormon DVD. The man comes to the gate and greets us, we start talking to him. He doesn't have any interest and works all the time. Before we left, I looked at the tv. It shows, some kind of green people with big heads and black eyes. I turn to my comp. and say that's the Book of Mormon DVD. We start laughing haha. Good times.
I love you guys! Thank you for all the love and support you guys show to me through your emails. Thank you once again for the pictures. Everyone looks great! Peace!
Your Brotha,

I'm in the Puebla Sur, Universidad
Amber & Brandon,
Que Honda? Whats up! How was your week? Parker is on the way! I'm stoked. Are the girls excited about this? Brandon will have his little dude at the end of this week! Sweet up!
Well, this week flew by. I'm serving in the Puebla Sur, Universidad area. My new companion is Elder Palamera as you know and is from Mexico, Mexico. We are both new missionary's to the area. This first week we knocked a million doors and just got to know the members. This area should be fun. We have a cool ward. We already have a couple investigators and one of them we set a baptism date for the 28th of this month. She is a single mother with 5 kids. Rosa is progressing well. Accept she wasn't at church this last Sunday... bummer. My Spanish is doing better and I'm learning a ton. The food is awesome we ate a Domino's twice this last week ha ha.
It sounds like life is a ball of fun with the Reads. Thanks to Brooklyn ha ha. Tell Ashlyn good job for doing her cheer clinic. I'm sure she did well. Keep up the good work Brandon. Keep on, pushing on. Thank you for your emails and love you guys show to me every week. Keep me updated with everything. I love you guys. Peace!

We have a Baptism Sunday!
Amber & Brandon-
What up! How was your week? How is the family doing? It sounds like everyone is doing well.
This week me and Elder Ayala have a baptism set for this Sunday. But we also had transfers this week and I'm out of the El Seco area. I will be heading to the University. I will miss the baptism, dang it. I will be serving in the area of the University, basically a student ward. My new companion is Elder Palamera. He is fluent in English as well. I'm stoked! I'm in the city with basically everything. Yes! Freaking fast food. Normal pizza. Gran Bodega. Which is basically a Wal Mart. It should be fun. The weather at this time is well, freaking hot! 70s 80s all the time. Its also starting to rain quit a bit and cools off at the end of the day.
Thank you for all the support and love you guys show through your emails. I love you guys! The Lord is watching over our family. Its so great to watch the blessings unfold. Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be open unto you, Amen! Keep me updated on all the sports! Any new cool movies as well. Peace Fam.
Your Nigger,
Elder Bailey
Mom & Dad,
Its good to hear from you guys once again. How was your week? How is the family? Did Brandon receive my email? I hope everyone is doing well.
This week we looked for a place in Serdan to move into. The District leaders came with us and there really wasn't anything. We spoke with some members that own some apartments and one will be open at the end of this month. We then decided to wait a month for the move. I will be in El Seco until then. We do have transfers at the end of this week. So, I do have a chance I will be freaking out of here. Who knows though. This week in El Seco and Serdan is the Fair, a bunch of flipping people everywhere. Its crazy!
All of our investigators are in Serdan. All 3 of them were at church this Sunday as well. Progressing little by little. I hope I will be able to stay in my area for the baptisms. The Spanish is doing a little better. Little by little. For me attitude is everything. If I have a good attitude my Spanish is better and guess what so is the work. If you have a good attitude and look at the good in everything, only the good will show. But if you look at the imperfections and the down side of things, the bad will show. Focus on the good things in life and you will have a ¨"Good Life".
It sounds like the fam is going to have some fun at Roaring Springs! Awesome! Have fun. Tell Aubrey, to pray always and always know that the spirit is here to comfort her. If she is busy she wont have that homesick feeling. Tell her to forget about home and don't compare. Accept it. It sucks I know. I love you Aubrey! Remember to email me, I am here to help if you need anything.
Go BSU! I hope they do good. Keep me updated. I love you Mom and Dad. Thank you for your support and your emails as always. Remember that any mistakes that we make can be washed clean through our Savior. He lived and died for us. He is here for us. Its incredible to think that all we have to do is accept him and believe in him. I love you guys. Peace!
P.S. The members said that our family is beautiful. Hermana Christina cant believe that that's my Mom in the picture. Your beautiful Mom.
Your Son,
Elder Bailey
