Still in Dallas...

12-20-10 TO DAD

Haha nice dad. I have been checking the mail a lot haha. Now I know why it didn't come lol. No biggy. Well I don't know if I told you I gave my first blessing in Spanish a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome. I am so glad for the spirit to guide us when we need it. And yeah, me and Marshall are going to figure things out Cmas Eve, so don't worry. You will talk to your sons. Well this month we haven't done service yet but there can always be an opportunity right? Well I am really excited to talk to yall. Got to get going now dad. Te quiero mucho adios

TO MOM

It's all good but don't send the (box) to the office no more. Send them to 9755 Scyene Road # 2119, Dallas, TX 75227 because there are problems with the forwarding as of now so just send them to my apt ok? Well this week was alright again. And just another thing - can you send me another memory card cuz I only have one right now and it is getting full. But yeah, so we might call or we might skype. We don't know yet but we are still working on it still, but me and Marshall are going to call and set something up ok so we can talk as a family. Well this week we are going to have a baptism this Sunday which is way sweet. He is a nine year old kid but he knows his stuff already. Well that is crazy to know that Garin is back. Time is flying so fast. Marshall is at 18 months; I am almost at 8! O my gosh it's loco. Well I figured you would be put in the RS sooner or later, but I guess that is just where you are needed haha. Well, got to get running as well. Talk to yall on Saturday. Can't wait. bye mom love you too (no i didn't get transfered thank goodness haha and thanks for being such an amazing mother)

Well thank you very much (got some money). That will help me alot, and mom, can you get (cousin) Austin's email for me so I can tell him congrats. Well, that is sweet that you are already making all those good treats and if you can you know your son Elder Ricobueno loves mommy's caramels :) Well this week we went to the temple and it was amazing. I love that place; it is so great to know that there is a place to get away from everything. Well that is odd that you are once again sick and I know you told me not to say it haha. Well I am your son and I love you :)))))))) big grin. Well, really other than the temple nothing much really happened here. Oh nevermind - last night we went to a choir thing and they did really good. I can not remember the name of the choir but they were amazing. Well right now I am chatting with my brother Marshall. This is the first time that has happened haha! Well I am excited for Christmas and I bet you are all as well and I can't wait to talk to all of you and I was wondering what Steven and Shayanna are doing for Christmas cuz I do want to talk to her as well so I can talk to my whole family and me and Marshall are going to call each other so we will be able to talk :) Well I got to get going mom. I love you a ton. Have a great week and get better :) love you

tu hijo, son, little big boy, elder ricobueno

To Dad

Well it is about the same temp here or colder(50 degrees). It is really cold here and I don't know why, and no I have not sent them (broken shoes) back. Do I have to pay to send them back? I don't know. I have never done this before. Sorry but I will send them back and I would love to talk to yall as long as I can as well. Oh and another thing - what is your number and the house number cuz I don't know but I do know your skype thingy and we will see if any members have skype. But yup, this week was great. We had a training and we went to the temple again, LOVE IT. It's an amazing place and I can't wait until after the mission to go a lot more than now. But yeah, I will probably call Marshall cuz I don't know if I will be getting transfrered cuz it is four days before Christmas so I guess we will have to see. Well I got to get going soon. Can't wait to talk to yall especially en espanol haha. Well I love you. I hope you all have a great week and stay warm. Oh and another thing I just remembered. I gave my first blessing in Spanish. It was an amazing experience para mi. I was a little nervous but it went away when I started the blessing. Well bye bye again. love you

Catching up again...

Well we watched that last night as well (The First Presidency Devotional). It was really good. I love listening to the prophet speak especially about the savior because whenever someone is speaking about the savior you can feel the spirit and when the prophet is speaking you know that he receives direct revelation from God about the things he says, so i love it :) And I was thinking about if you could set up a time for me and Marshall to call at the same time cuz he is only one hour ahead of me and Ii am 2 ahead of you, but I would really love to talk to my whole family at the same time and I can't wait to talk to you and mom in Spanish but I will warn you because I have been in a mostly English area - my Spanish isn't at the full capacity it could be but it is really good for being in an English area jaja but I guess you will just have to see about that and I will let you be the judge. Well this last week has been getting really cold. This morning at about 11 it was 35 degrees so it is getting there but then again you are way up north and I bet it is way cold up there huh. Well this week we are planning on going to the temple on Wednesday so I am super pumped; I love going and just sitting in the celestial room. It is just the most spiritual place to go and especially when things are getting tough in the mission you just need to get away from the world and what better place to go than the temple right and we are also having a training on Friday so this week should be pretty good and fast. Well as far as updates in the mission me and my comp are teaching 3 great families and 2 of them we have committed to baptism and they said they would but one of the families is going on a vacation so it will have to be later than we expected but it's all good. Well nothin really exciting happened this week; well we did fix a flat tire for someone that was stranded on the road so I am glad that I knew how to do that haha. Well got to go paps. Love you. Have a great week.

To Mom

Well speaking of food, I was wondering if you could get the recipe for bisquits and gravy haha cuz I miss that lol. Well I am glad that Miles and Jordan are having fun and getting ready to go on their missions. I think it will be good for them. I think that Miles is going to go to the Mexico City Mission haha. That's just what I think lol and Jordan is going to go to the Dallas Texas Mission :) Well I justed looked on google maps and found out that the house is less than a mile from church. That is pretty cool and only 15 minutes or 4 miles from the temple in a straight shot anyways haha. Well we did actually have a service thing this week - we were on our way to get some food and we saw someone with a blown up tire and they had the worst car jack in the world and like a half hour into trying to get the car up someone stopped and let us use her jack and we fixed it in like 2 minutes. It was cool and it made me feel good helping someone. Well I was just remembering something from last year and remember when dad got a GPS for Marshall? Well I think that would be an awesome birthday gift because sometimes we do get lost haha. And another thing if you could send a bit of money for laundry cuz every week I spend about 5 dollars on laundry so if that is a possibility that would be a great blessing especially since I don't have a lot of money. Well I told Dad that we are going to go to the temple again and I can't wait. That is like my favorite place to go and I can't wait after the mission cuz we live so close that I want to go like once every 2 weeks. I love it. It is such a spiritual place. Well I got to get running now. Love you mommy. Can't wait to talk to y'all on Christmas. adios
