Madre y Padre!
Hola Como Estan? I miss you two a lot! I just wrote handwritten letters to the boys so I thought you'd like one as well. I just want to tell you how grateful I am for you two. I love you so much and you really have done so much for me! I remember whenever Dad was mad he would say "You boys don't know how good you have it!" You're right we don't realize it. We have it beyond good. This is incredibly hard but it's so rewarding, it make me look at life in a whole different view, I see how great of a family we have and how it's what I want for my own someday! I see how life really is not easy at all. Times here are like a roller coaster. One minute you are so high up and happy then the next you drop into the dumps! I can't explain how crazy it is. It's pretty emotional too. I want to be with my family, but then I realize it's so I can bring together other ones! Even when it's hard your letters keep me going for sure. When I get them I could be so depressed and I get a package or Dear Elder and then instantly I'm happy!! Mom, Bubba's letters make me teary eyed every single time! I love him so much. He has such a strong spirit to him. It's like when I realize it's from him happiness fills me up! I didn't wanna email that and embarrass him ha ha! I hope my letters are good. I can't tell if they are or not! Here's a list: Watch the full version of the Testament and watch the full version of Joseph Smith's Trials and stuff. They both will bring the spirit to you so quickly! Do that for F.H.E. Mom I love when you tell me all about what everyone is doing, keep doing it! I love it! Even when this is hard random elders will be so random and so funny! It makes me laugh so hard! Oh I got a small Spanish Hymn Book. Now I have a small English and Spanish and 2 combinations of Scriptures! It's pretty crazy. I love you! This is gonna be hard but it's worth it! "Everyday in every way I'm becoming a better and better 1.Missionary, 2. Husband, and 3. Father. Thought you'd like my add to it! I love you! I'll write a better letter soon!
Love forever and always,
Elder Beyer!
P.M.A. We can do this!!

Family,
So I am not gonna sing at the Conference Center! I though I was, but it was just the MTC one, but I still got to sing to Dallin H. Oaks! Sorry that I don't write back way fast, but anytime I can I do! Please keep writing me. I Love it!! Bubba it took me a sec but I read the old espanol yo se que usted my best Hermano/amigo as well! Cars I am getting the letters! I sent you one this week but hopefully you got it. It is hard I can't call you but I will try to get you a solid one on my P-days. Mom keep sending me pictures of stuff like you did in the letters of the last package! It's so awesome. Have you seen my scripture highlighters? I don't know where they are, or if I even brought them! Oh so I got Elder Brock S. Beyer engraved on my English and Spanish set of the B.O.M and Bible! Nothing to special but it's pretty awesome. Send a picture of Caden with his new uniform on if you would, I wanna see these puppies! That count down sheet is so awesome and when it's over it will look so sweet as well! Tell her thank you for me! A saying around here is the days feel like weeks, but the weeks feel like days, let me just say everyday has been so slow. But I can't believe a week is done already. It goes seriously so fast. I have met so many people and made so many new friends! It's hard to think about being gone but I don't say suck anymore and I keep saying your quote Dad! I miss you guys so much. But if the weeks fly by like they did this last week I'll be home tomorrow! Guys and family! Go to the temple monthly, that's a good goal! It will bless you. Keep it up. I love you so much. D&C 31:13
I Love you!

FAMILIA!
Hola! como Estan? Estoy Muy Biene! Last night made this experience so awesome! It was Tuesday Devotional Night and we went into the MTC Choir so we could sing to whoever was speaking (I'm not singing in Priesthood session but it's alright!) But we sang "Consider the Lilies" to none other than Dallin H. Oaks! Him and his wife came and spoke to the whole MTC about missionary work and how to make it better, it was so awesome. His wife spoke about this experience on her mission when she memorized the sayings in Japanese and they were so excited about it and only one person hadn't and that person was so upset and ran out of the room crying! Their teacher said that they apparently hadn't learned why they were on a mission. It's not to memorize lessons or to learn the language, it's to serve and be a representative of Jesus Christ! She went on to say once she figured that out was when the mission got better! Then the mighty Dallin H. Oaks got up there and went off, he said how to become an amazing missionary you must be able to teach and have the spirit constantly! He said to do that you need to be completely worthy with everything. Not just word of wisdom wise and chastity wise but mentally and being positive! So I'm taking Dads advice, but I have been doing that even before Elder Oaks came. I'm gonna have a positive mental attitude on it all. "Everyday in every way I'm becoming a better and better missionary"! Well I hope you enjoyed that, because it hit me well. After we had a district devotional with the 8 in my district and talked all about it and what we liked. Such a spiritual experience. This is another thing he said, and I'm challenging you to do it. When taking the Sacrament this week take it with a broken heart and contrite spirit, even if you didn't do wrong so that the spirit can be given to you as if you were baptized again! It's gonna be hard to be away from you for 2 years, but it's so worth it, no more "this sucks" for me dad, just P.M.A. I love you and miss you so much! Mom thanks for talking me through everything. I've said so many comforting prayers and I feel good. Actually great. I love you. Well I have like 30 spare minutes so I better go catch up on me sleep! I miss you all, but this is where I need to be!
I Love You!

RENO!
My main man!
How's it going for you? So I've written you guys a lot of letters... I'm guessing that the spiritual prison doesn't want people on the outside world knowing about this.. but anyways. The food is awful, I hate it so much (probably just cause I compare it to moms food and she always has the best for that.. Uh.. the bed isn't comfortable at all... The church clothes is alright but still kinda uncomfortable... but through all of this pain and hardships there are positives. The first two nights I can tell you exactly what I felt. ALONE. It was so hard for me to let it hit me, that I wouldn't being seeing you guys for such a long time and also just thinking to myself that I had no one here for me even though you guys have been so awesome with the dear elders and the packages... but its still so hard. I just prayed, prayed and prayed. Then I started trying to become friends with my whole district (there is 8 of us) I just was being nice and meeting my comp. His name is Elder Collins, he is from South Carolina and he is pretty cool. He kinda doesn't talk a lot but I'm getting him to and the more I do the more I like him. He's so awesome now! There is another guy from California named Elder Davies. He is exactly like me and so cool. But time started going by a little faster. I feel like people are here for me and I also feel like this is what I need to do. I have had so many spiritual Experiences and its day 6 only! I know its gonna get hard at times and I just need to deal with it cause the best things in life aren't easy. I miss you a lot. In my classes whenever I talk about you I almost cry and same thing with mom, bubba even caden and cars.. (basically the spirit is killin me) But the thing about it is I feel peace. I hope you are too. Today I went to the temple and the coolest thing ever, I think happened. You know when they do the prayer role? So I never really thought about it until they were praying and they said please bless president Monson and his leaders, and bless the missionaries. It hit me that that's what I am. I shouldn't serve a mission just to say i went on a mission, I need to go on a mission to become a missionary. Yesterday was hard, I was depressed but then they played the testament... the full thing... it was an answer to my prayers. it was honestly so amazing to think whenever I'm in pain about my family not being with me with me but just there in spirit, its obviously going to be hard... but I think its like a pin prick compared to taking on the sins of the world!!!! It's hard but I feel awesome right now! I love you so much and miss you too, you're my hero my man!
LOVE, Elder Brocck STEPHEN Beyer
P.s. Keep your eye open to the choir in Preisthood Session, there's a new Baritone who's gonna be screamin out loud!!! :)

Family!
I love you guys so much...You have no idea! I miss you more than life itself..that doesn't even make sense but who cares! I wrote you a letter this morning, but you should get this at the same time! I was in a rush so I don't know if I forgot any of this, but I'm gonna say it again. The 2 best experiences was night one when they sang "we are as the Armies of Helaman", but now it says "we are now the Lords missionaries". It was an awesome experience. The MTC is tough, but the spirit is making me feel much better. Tonight we met our Branch Leaders and they asked how we were and in my district (of 8) I said "I'm awful. I'm home sick, I miss my family, my life, good food (I hate the food by the way, I haven't eaten like anything) my bed and everything." calmly one of them said this "St. Luke 9:23-25" He told me to read it and we all contributed I told how I didn't enjoy much here cause over these past months I've come so close to my family and told how much I missed you. I said I don't know if I like this as much as I thought (at the time I was thinking to myself I should get up, pack and go home.) Then another missionary said with tears in his eyes that his sister put letters in his pocket and he didn't know but read them and one said "I love you, I miss you and wish you were here but the family will be here when you're back, so for now go serve and bring families together and make it last forever." It was so amazing. It's so hard, but I have you guys, friends here and anyone else supporting me. It's amazing my Branch President is President Bradley. He asked me if I had older brothers. I said no just cousins. He asked for their names and I said Blair and Troy. He then told me he was the mission president in Paraguay and knew Blair! Such a small world, he also said he dated a girl for 6 months before and ended up marrying her...so haha. Please write me, I miss you so much and I wanna hear all about St. George! Hope you did well. Dad it's been hard, it's hot/I sweat, the food is terrible, but it is a small little world of elders. It's Crazy! Mom, I'm sorry I ever got bugged about you texting me so much, I miss it! I now realize it's because you just love me. I wanna hug you all and just get a Dr. Pepper from Pepper Belly's. But Sprite will do for now.. Tell the other 2 they don't have to write me, I know how busy it gets when you're their age. Just tell them I love them and miss them. You are exactly what a kid like me could ask for in a family. I love you with all of my heart! Keep smilin' and prayin'! It will be over soon!
Love always,

FAMILIA!
That's about the only Spanish I know so far, but oh well...I'll be totally honest this sucks. It is hard being away from my family, I just want to hug you guys and blind wrestle Bubba!! I want to watch cars and Caden play sports and hang out with Cait. It's so depressing, but I'll tell you one thing.. The spirit is unlike anything else. It's so incredible, from Day 1 you could tell it was here. Listen to this, the Ambassador from Mongolia came here!!! Talked to all the new missionaries and said we are all doing such an amazing job becoming missionaries. Another amazing thing is that today is Day 2 and guess who called me and my companion into his office? If you said President Brown you are right! He said that at the start of April he would be giving us a calling and assignment! It has given me something to look forward to, thats for sure. Boys, don't worry about hard things cause you have no idea what this is like haha. I'm getting better. I'm trying to get lost in the work, but it's still hard thinking about you guys, but in my Patriartical Blessing it says that there will be hard times, but I will have to get over barriers and it will be amazing for me. It's hard, but it feels like the right decision. Please keep praying for me, I need it a lot. Oh mom they said I might need a tetanus shot, because it doesn't say until 10 years back. And it has to be every five years? Hopefully, you can find and print an updated thing or else in 2 weeks I need a 40 dollar shot. I've seen Eric, Alec, Bird and some other buddies. It's been so nice to see them. They keep reassuring me it's gonna get better. Oh...I almost forgot!! My comp is named Elder Collins, He is from Columbia, South Carolina. He's pretty quiet, but he is such a spiritual kid. He sails boats for fun he likes Lord of the Rings!! so Gnarly. But in my district theres 8 guys, and at first we didn't talk but now after I broke this ice we are all becoming great friends! Oh I saw Landen (my cousin) too! He was awesome to see, it's so crazy to see people from all over the world in the same position as me with the same struggles, but it is gonna be good. I love you guys so much. It's gonna be hard but it will bless our family so much! I love you. Write me.
Love, Elder Beyer
P.S. Oh will you send me lots of stamps? Thanks!!
