This is Eduardo, his grandma, and his sister!  What a great baptismal service that it was!  :) haha.  Can´t think of a better way to spend a week, planning and stressing over big baptisms!  :)
I can´t believe that The missionaries are no longer going to be living in grandma´s house!  Haha.  It is interesting to view it from my point of view having been the mission financier... looking for a new house, telling the president that the greatest house in the mission is now no longer available... haha.  don´t know if you understood that but oh well.  I always liked to tell my comps that the missionaries live in my grandma´s home, but from now on it will be stories int the "Past Tense" haha.  
There are so many Happy memories of back home.  haha and many of them came to mind as i rummaged through my PACKAGE!!! haha.  full of easter goodies and wonderful REAY love!  Almost all the goodies are already gone.... the states sure knows how to make things taist good. :)  puts all the Uruguayan foods to shame!  Funny to think that that was the kind of food i ate regularly before the mission.  
I am so stoked to hear that Chelsea is getting so close to "Flying the coop" haha.  I remember our christmas Skype when she showed me that she got a laptop for christmas and that she was going to be going to NAU!  Seems like just yesterday right??  Seriously... i don´t know where the time has gone... i suddenly realized i am the oldest financier in the mission now, where before it seemed like i was so young and new in the mission!!!  I loved the beginning of the mission when people would hear my spanish and ask how much time i had in the mission, i would proudly reply that i only had a few months and they would go CRAZY because my accent was good or because i looked like i had more time, but now i am just one of those other missionaries that is close to the end... haha.  i now have less time left than i have completed.  Super weird!  Is this what it feels like when a person gets old?? haha. :)
Things in the mission are so beautiful.  I wish you could just live the life i live as a missionary. :) haha.

Love,
Elder Reay
