Hey Mommy/ Familia!!!

What are the odds of that happening haha that the one time on splits he comes and brings that?  So 1 its translated from English to Spanish and also in another room its translated to Mandarin! and NOPE I'm staying here ha ha I'm gonna be here for another transfer! I'm pretty happy and I'm super happy because we also are getting a CAR!!!! Its going to help us soooo much! especially, because Mississauga is HUGE and if we have an appointment at the North it will take us like 3 hours to get down to the Center and yeah haha its a mess at times, but I'm stoked about the car! I FINALLY got all the mail! I don't like sending it to the mission office because you don't get it forever! I got a letter from Cait, and I got all your letters and Packages that day too but they came right to our house! I loved the little gum packages too hahah! It made me laugh! I love when you send pictures too mom, I love seeing everyone! Everyone looks the same so looks like nothing has changed haha! I loved the graduation pictures cause I got to see you and dad! I haven't seen one in forever! and also Grandma Peg sent me one of the whole family! It looks like it turned out pretty good! So about going out to eat... I WOULD LOVE TO! BUT.... we don't go to much, we usually just go home and eat... and sometimes its a waste of time because it would be easier just to eat out and not have to wait on a bus and just drive back home, but when we eat out its SUPER good! But its all good, We do P Days! Everything is SUPER expensive too. Like 5 bucks more for everything ha ha. Its a joke .We ate at Wendys this week and I had some weird french fries! They are called Poutine? I think that's how you spell it! But its fries with gravey and cheese on it, and it was actually pretty good, I think I'm going to try it again but this time at a good place haha!

So I don't have too much for this week! But I'm grateful for the hanky's grandma gave me! cause I always have one with me cause I sweat so freakin much haha, its beyond humid and hot and you know how frustrated I get when I am dying! So I get a headache cause I sweat and then I just sweat more! There is nothing to much to do but wipe my face off with a hanky and sizzle to death! Its good though! I think I've lost quite a bit of weight, we walk a lot and we sweat more... well I do haha! But its still fun no matter what! Last Sunday I forgot to mention this Asian lady came up to me and was like "Ah U fum Amewika?" (Are you from America in Old Lady Chinese haha) and I was like "Yep!" and she gave me this gnarly Pin that I put on my suit ha ha it has a Canadian flag and an American flag right next to each other! Its actually way cool! super random too! This last week on splits was SOLID! I went with Elder Snow, the English, and it was soooo fun! hahaha randomly we went with the Chinese elders to a BBQ at a car dealership for some free food hahah! It was super awkward! People were just starring at us and yeah it was funny! But free burgers? I'm in! So that was funny, and we got to teach in English so that made it much easier, and we went tracting in this area where they had like 6 doors right next to each other and for a couple of them we just rang all 6 doors and just sat in the middle waiting to preach a sermon hahah! Nobody came out though.... so pretty lame! But it would have been super funny! We have been doing pretty good, I feel like we are finding more people to teach and I feel like I'm starting to be able to talk better in Spanish and also to just talk to random people on the streets! But its getting better, Yesterday was crappy... I had a headache and hadn't eaten so I felt sick but once I ate all was well! I love you guys so much! I hope that home is good and that you guys enjoyed your Vacations and are having a killer summer! I love you so much! KEEP WRITING :)

LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS

MOMMY DEAR AND FAMILY!!!

I love you guys!! ha ha so I don't need anything! I'M SOLID right now! Everything is moving along. Ha ha you don't need to tell anyone to not email me, I like reading them I just don't reply... Its super hard but they said not too... I feel kinda weird being like so with the rules, especially because before my mission I was not at all ha ha, but it has been blessing us SOO MUCH! This past week we actually had a baptism! I had not part of it because I came into the mission with him having a baptismal date and everything but it was still super good to be able to help contribute to it! and also we had 2 investigators be able to attend church!!!! AHHHH!!! it was sooooo amazing!!! So before I say anything else remember how I said like 4 weeks ago this creep was looking at my stuff in the library?? yeah... he is right across the desk from me and is checking out the other missionaries stuff... he is a freak! a HUGE one!!! But anyways haha... he gives me the creepiest feelings inside right now too but... yeah so yesterday it was pretty awesome to be able to take part in that and I'm sending you the pictures of it and everything, I LOVE this family... they are honestly so incredible and SO awesome!!! They are the Canestuj's and yeah... I LOVE um ha ha the hardest part about yesterday was that the primary kids sang the Fathers day songs and also had some cute little 9 year olds give talks about their dads... yeah I was pretty much dying because of it.. I started tearing up like a little baby ha ha but all is well I didn't cry. The only reason its so crappy is because you kind of take advantage of how awesome families are!!! so boys.... LOVE MOM AND DAD... Hug um often, love um always, and just remember that we are soooo blessed to have them!!!! The Spanish culture makes me realize how much I love you guys even more... with EVERYONE they hug and kiss their cheeks... even if they aren't related! They just love you for being alive! I love it! Cause we are all brothers and sisters ha ha and that's one thing I have been working on for sure... I used to always look at people and judge them because they looked weird and what not... but now whenever I look at some rotten up tool with a weird hair cut and some clothes I wouldn't wear... instead of being like hahaha what a tool, I think... hmm... my brother needs some serious help... ha ha sounds dumb yes... but it has been helping me SO MUCH.  I have been talking more and just trying harder to help more people and just trying to talk with everyone... it has been helping me SO MUCH... it is soooo fun!!!! I love talking as you all know so now I'm putting it to good use :) so yeah! this week was a solid one, but a way cool thing that we did are splits.. and my comp got called to be the District leader so I got to go on splits with the Zone leaders this week! SO fun! I got to teach in English and got to ride in a car ha ha it was super fun, it was so different and got to learn so much! I didn't get to sleep over, but it was still such a good experience. I will explain better what they are next week, I don't have much time right now but I will explain it better! So 2 quick things... 1 my favorite foods now... fruits ha ha especially mango's and pineapple. I eat them like everyday! I love um ha ha and 2 mom remember that experience with the baconader burger at Wendy's? How I loved it then hated it? yeah... that's how the MTC was... I hated it then... but its cause I was being negative... Now I look back on it as actually fun  haha! Just a little update... I hope that this letter is decent enough for you guys! I will get a better one next week! Keep me updated with all of your lives! I LOVE YOU SSOOOO MUCCHHH!!!! and no we never got the centipede haha! its gonna kill mee!!!!! I haven't gotten your mail yet... its at the stinking office I hope... its a joke... I might need to figure out a new system ha ha!

I LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER AND ALWAYS!

 FAMILY!!!!
AHHHHH!!!!! I am doing good again haha no big deal! Some weeks are harder than others and especially when they just break you down eventually! Right now I'm happy again... :) see! But even happier about Tanner!!!! UHHH!!! I wanna just hug him! I am soooo happy for him! SOOO HAPPY! He is a stud, and I know that he will come to love it, and so will T roy! Tell the Hinds family I love them and to email Tanner and Troy that I love them soooo much! I'm trying not to email anyone that isn't family because the Mission President this last week told us its just one of those small things that is breaking the rules but stops us from receiving those MIRACLES!! Sooo... if you are wanting me to email you and I don't I'm sorry... :(I wish I could BUT.... we need some miracles haha! So last week I sent some pictures! There is one of me with a stain and a frowny face.... yeah that was Bird Poop haha I was walking and was like "wow... it reeks! Check your shoes Elder" and we both did and as a checked my right shoe I saw the beastly dump of an obnoxious sparrow... uhhh haha just my luck huh?? I forgot to mention about my district so I will write that right now! Its me and Elder Steele, then there are 2 English elders named Elder Kozak (from Ogden, UT) and Elder Snow (from St George UT) and they are awesome, we usually hang with them on P days and they are really cool guys, I love um! Then there are 2 Chinese elders named Elder Yu (Hong Kong/Vancover Canada) and then now Elder Tsai (Taiwan/Vancover Canada) But we had one other who just left today named Elder Snow (Washington DC) and he was the district leader but he left early because he finished out his mission and is returning to the Air Force! I told him to look for Beanie haha! This last week like I said was super solid! It flew by soooo fast! Its because we were working hard though haha! We had Zone Conference this week and it was BOMB! We have the biggest zone in the mission because we are in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and it is HUGE! So we had a lot of people, but lets just say this before hand, we got a text that we all needed to prepare talks to give there so that they could just randomly call.... well... my comp told me cause he has the phone... but I thought he was joking.... soo... do you see where I'm going with this? hahah we get there and what do you know... I get called on... it was just like when I gave a talk in the MTC before leaving, I just KNEW I was getting called on haha I felt it. But so I got up and just went with the spirit and I did nothing! I didn't but the spirit helped me and It felt way good, I LOVED IT! I love talking so it worked well with me haha! There were probably 40/50 people there too just FYI.. But another cool thing was there is this Elder who is one of the assistants and he played the piano.... WOW... He can just go off and just do whatever and play it with hymns and mix them... yeah its insane... he played forever and then like in the middle he played I love to look for rainbows (that primary song) and I was like tearing up... because he was just playing to a slide show of people who had been Baptized from our Mission and stuff in the past... uhhh soo insanely spiritual... SOOO GOOD ! I have an awesome way to compare the Book of Mormon to what a mission is too haha, so this is some scriptural doctrine here! What a mission feels like is this, Alma 36:21... The hardest times are hard, but the better times are even better than um.. just look it up! Its steezy. Like I said about the English Elders, we do everything with them! This last week we all made food, Like Elder Steele made "Tres Leches" (Its a Spanish Cake made with 3 types of milk... SOO BOMB! Unless you are lacktos haha i dunno how to spell that!) And I made rice :) I'm getting good at putting rice in the thing and letting it cook! I eat SOO much rice and beans and tacos... yeah i can actually cook decent! I just do what I've seen you do for years ma and I am putting it to good use haha you should feel honored :) I even made french toast!!! believe it or not!!!! But anyways And the English made Pork Chops... yeah it was an amazing meal haha I loved loved loved it! Eating has been good! We eat quite a bit and I have most definitely gained back that weight I lost in the MTC! Going into it I thought I would never eat again in my life, but now I am haha A LOT! Oh and also lately we have found this creepy Jamaican centipede everywhere! He is so big haha my comp named Him "The Brother of Shelob" haha the thing is a beast, I got a picture of him! I shouldn't have because he got away cause of it! now he is lurking everywhere to kill us! hahah but anyways... alright! I love you all so much! AND I LOVE hearing from you haha mom i LOVED bubbas letter about me and cait! SOOO FUNNY! he is a goof ball! And all of the boys are! They are awesome, I saw the pictures of us, I have it on my desk, but I saw it the other day and just smiled... because the 2 pictures are SO different, but we look the same... just older... and once we can do that again... in like 3 or so years before Caden leaves... yeah its gonna be just like that one! Bubba will have like chest hair and armpit hair not just that peach fuzz crap haha! its gonna be Gnarly! Welp... I hope this is better than last weeks! I hope you are doing awesome!! I LOVE YOU ALL SOOO MUCH! and I have just 3 things to leave you with:

1. Yeah this one is toolish but on Jersey Shore Vinny gets a new Tat right? So anyways it says "Let Go, Let God"... lame show to some yes.. stupid thing to say Brock? Maybe... but the meaning is AWESOME.. Don't worry... Let Go... just Let God Help you!

2. Luke 1:37 "For with God, NOTHING shall be Impossible"

and 3. Mark 5:36 (This is my favorite!!) "BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE!"

I love you so much! Don't be afraid, ONLY believe! Stay Strong. Stay Happy. And Remember Alma 36:21.. There are going to be hard times... but you cant have good without the bad right? I love you!

Forever and Always!

Elder Beyer in his apartment!

FAMILY!

So yeah I need to answer your questions first, 1 yeah I received them! I LOVED UM! I just loved it all :) but next...I dunno where to have you send them! Because lets say I get transferred and what not... then if you sent me something I am pretty unlikely to get it if I'm not there anymore haha but I mean it is A LOT nicer to just get them rather than having to wait and wait until either the Zone Leaders bring it down or we have Zone Conference ya know?? I dunno haha but yeah I loved them SO much! Who the heck was Carlos??! haha but the sheets are great! SUPER soft!!! I love um! And hows the language? pshh... haha I'm not good at it! i can barley understand people... if barely is the slightest of understanding haha! its  been crazy hard... and to be completely honest this week was a brutal one! First because of the weather... the first 2 weeks it was super hot and perfect, this week... straight rain! and not for like a second... I was practically soaked and we don't have a dryer so my clothes just are barley dry and my shoes are still soaked haha... but its all good, the weather is nothing, its still the same work whether its good or bad! you just got to keep going! so I did just that and I was pretty good and the weather wasn't bringing me down too much! BUT what did was the language...I feel SO retarded when it comes to it, and whenever people talk to me I feel just lost...I seriously have troubles with being positive about the language because tons of people are like, well it will come when you talk it will come when you talk... yeah there is like NO Spanish speakers here sooo.... haha I don't have time to! its usually just English or crappy random immigrant English so that is a language in itself haha! but yeah its definitely going slow and I feel like I'm gaining more and more but still I know nothing haha........................ um I got pretty homesick for a couple of days for sure! the point that I want to just get across to people who want to serve a mission is this... ITS HARD.... and NO ONE.... explains that.. they say yeah its super hard but good... yeah they don't explain it how it is... you literally are the most tired you have ever been in your life like always... pretty dehydrated, always hungry, and that's only like physical things. The list goes on and on... and with emotional and mental things... you get to the point sometimes where you get so sickened and just feel like its not worth it and then oh... its the worst feeling ever! and just like physical the list goes on and on... BUT to all of that... there is good and there really is happiness when you just keep  going and just keep working... God will bless you for all of it and there is a reason for it all! when people say its hard and just leave it at that its such an understatement.... but also its the greatest thing you could possibly do.. you seriously are a servant... and a representative of Jesus Christ and you have the power and the ability to not only strengthen your life... and the ones you care about... but also people who don't have it in their life! its been hard... and i don't mean to go off on that and seem depressed and seem like missions suck... I mean it to say that it really is SO hard, but at the same time is really is SO amazing. Its just like anything in life... Time does go by slow during the day but then all of a sudden you are out of the spiritual prison and on your way to Canada and then after that you are there starting week 4... its crazy! haha this week was hard but at the same time super good, we had the opportunity to invite this man named Alberto to baptism, he has been smoking for over 30 years but knows of the truth! Hopefully we can keep him strong and help him to improve and look to God with it all and help him enter the waters! This weeks letter isn't a good one and i already know that but its just because I was frustrated about everything and its hard to think that if i could get in a time machine that I would be in Hawaii hahaah but whatever... its good! I'm still in awe that all the boys are done with elementary school and still in awe that you trust caden with my car... hes the farthest thing from responsible haha... but I'm stoked for all of them to keep growing! even though i cant see it... well i love you all and I'm sorry this letter is crappy but hopefully it has some advice in it haha.. and hopefully you enjoy the pictures as well!!!
haha well i just uploaded pictures for like 20 minutes so i hope that they work haha! I seriously love you guys alot and I hope that next week I can have a better letter for you haha... I LOVE YOU!

Forever and Always
