hey klay klay, I have so much homework and reading to do it's not even funny.... I'll be up late tonight, but I wanted to write you before my brain goes kaput for the night and I start sounding crazy :)

i was so so sad that i didn't get to talk to you last week.... i know you told me not to be, but i was haha i wasn't even doing anything while you were writing! I was just sitting on the couch! and your emails didn't come through until way after you sent them...i was very very happy to read your emails though :) and i am excited to get your letters! i haven't gotten any for a while :( but i have learned much patience through the last 4 months so it is ok ha

As for your migraines... i am so so sorry klay... i have something that you can try if you want, i don't know if it works cause i don't really get migraines but i heard it does! so if you want to try it here you go :) Stick your hands and feet into warm/hot water, lay your head on your knees and put something cold (like a bag of frozen peas... or something like that?) on your occipital bone. Then the heat on your hands and feet will pull the pressure from your head and bam, no more migraine :) haha So you can try that, i really hope it works for you. Do you have headache medicine?

I would really love to send you an air conditioner... but i am broke. haha :( I am going to send you a surprise though!!! :) you just wait patiently :)

My institute class is SO AMAZING! i sent you a letter about it so i'm not going to write it again, but it is so wonderful. Institute is like my favorite part of the week because I learn so so much. Church was also awesome again today, but I am also writing you a letter about that, so you will just have to wonder :) i'll give you a hint though, it has to do with the salt lake temple... my favorite :) Have you started getting the letters that have dates on them? When you do you should tell me what the dates say so I know how long everything is taking to get there! Cause I need to know when to send your christmas present!!!! :) And I have some other stuff I want to send you before it is christmas, but i don't know when to send them. That is only like 3 months away! super weird....do you think we'll get to talk on Christmas? That would be fun :)

Everyone has been disappointing me lately...I just wish everyone could see how much happier they would be if they would just follow the dang commandments! ha yesterday I just locked myself in my room and put headphones in and listened to church music to block everything out. haha I am so sick of everyone's language. But my room is a holy place, as you could see from the pictures :) and it is so nice to have a place to go.

Chi wasn't here today when it was time to go to church... i was kind of disappointed.I think she must have forgot, which is my fault cause i didn't remind her. But when I got home she was here and she said that she bought a dress so that she could go with me! So crossing my fingers, next week she will go.

Did you guys baptize Salvador this week? I hope so! :) What about alejandro?? I'm excited to hear about your week :) I hope you are happy and serving with everything you've got! :) love you elder kelsey

love lou lou

p.s. my mom is supposedly sending you pictures of my ring....hehehe did i tell you about that? I know i told you in a letter but maybe you haven't gotten that yet... ha anyways it keeps the boys away :) I have told a lot of people about you :)

Klay...where are you? I am waiting :)

Klay:

hey!!!!!! i am here !!! write me back now dang it hahahaah

Lacey:

Heyyy! How are you??

Klay:

i am doing very well :) i just wrote a long letter to your sister and she is going to do well with it. i love that little girl :) she is gonna be a cool little sister in law :)

Lacey:

Yeah she is pretty great :) did you know she has pink eye??

I'm in chemistry right now..how boring.

Klay:
. we had a baptism of a little boy named salvador sunday morning. the most interesting baptism that i think i have ever witnessed. it was a bloody miracle. he was supposed to be baptised on saturday and the mother called us an hour before the baptism and said that they couldnt do it saturday. but i wasnt about to wait another week and die in my sins for not fighting to save the soul of this child!!! dang it. so we called up the mom and said that we are going to have the baptism sunday morning before church. she said okay questionably and i hung up before she could make up her mind. sunday morni9ng at eight oclock he should have been there as well as everyone else. we said a prayer at 8 15 so that he would show up as well as everyone else to support him cuz the people here are so good at supporting, and finally people starting showing up at likie 820. it was a landslide of faith. salvador showed up at 840. we did the baptism at 847. church started at nine hahahahahahaha the mom is horrible. we woke her up at 700 and she didnt come until 856. i was so ticked at this lady. but we gave her an hour 47 minutes to be there and she couldnt do even that . the bishop said baptize him anyway. he is better off in the church. The work of God is a constant fight and i feel as if it is even harder just cuz its me and God wants to test me and take me to the point of almost dying. Bueno. i love you guys. thats my miracle. if you want something from  god, like a baptism. he is willing if you are willing to not doubt its going to happen. i knew that baptism was going to happen. with a prayer and faith all is possible. remember the words of Christ in d and C in a part that i forgot cuz im horrible at remembering scriptures. you recieved not because you doubted. dont be the turd that doesnt get the miracle cuz you had a doubt in your heart. love you pfeace!!!! i eat plenty of garbage that i hate mommy dont worry :)

that was my letter to my family dont get confused. read it after or i will freak out haha. use your chemistry skills to cure her pink eye!!!!

Lacey:

I suck at chemistry :(

Klay:

have you consulted with a fervent prayer for help?

Lacey:

I'm glad you did the baptism even though it was frustrating, good job Klay, don't give up! :) are you still getting headaches??

I have... I want to help them...I just need to figure out how to help them

What? That last one was about my roommates haha I will pray about chemistry, that will help :)

Whit wants to know if you got her letter :)

Klay:

haha lou, with your room mates. you just need to understand your duty. he who is slothful will not be counted worthy to stand at the last day even so amen. every man is to learn his duty. your duty right now is that of a spcial breed. your job is to not be slothful. especially to the commandments of God. dont be slothful and let down your guard. pray for your roommates to have experiences to humble them and seek comfort in you. dont fall for anything. be strong. do more than they expect of you. they expect you to do the same. dont fall for that garbage. you are my dang future wife and you are better than that hehehe they are waiting to see you fall. they are watching you right now and hoping that you fall so that they can see the best of them on the floor. and they will have another excuse to live in their sins because ¨lacey fell and she was a saint¨ you have passed that phase and you are on your way to celestial glory :) help them find the way. be patient. let them ask you why you do what you do. always be happy and willing to talk about why :)

Lacey:

Thanks Klay, you help me a lot you know :) I love you!

Klay:

i like your gangster picture in the good old fashion subzero thing a ma bob :) i miss ya like crazo. this week was good. dont doubt lou. i had some pretty sweet experience with faith this week. Lou, when everything is going good. you dont have even a little faith. but when your fighting hell with words and kicking demons and shooting the devil witha  bb gun and a mother your cell phone doesnt work when your baptism is in salta and you are in jujuy and she says it aint gonna happen. its gonna happen. when everything is against you. everything. when things suck. i mean hard core suck. Thats when you got faith. Like your experiences with school right now. you are gonna stress out. probably at times you will feel that you arent able. but you will keep studying anyway. and you will keep praying to God for help because dang it He is going to help you. dont you doubt it even a second. and you make time to read your scriptures. and you tell God that you have put in your part. that is when you have faith. when everything is against you. when your money is out. when everyone is partying around you. when your stressed. when you feel like your gonna fall and fail. that is when you have faith. and you will lou. :) i love you like that shade :)

i havent gotten a letter from her yet but i got a ton from you yesterday!!!! i was stoked!! i am writing you a big one today :) im excited for ya to read it :)

love ya like crazy lou, dont forget whos daughter you are. you are such a champion. you have got something special. fight like Gods by your side and pray like He aint.  you are my hero. I love you. have the faith to do what God is asking you to do with your roommates right now. and apply the scriptures to your situations. Secretly it helps a lot. hmm. . .probably cuz its the words of a loving heavenly father. love you lou bugga :)

oh. . .  just for a reminder, challenge time!!!!! tell at least seven guys off this week!!!! hahahaah read your scriptures daily, keep up those prayers. pray about me, i need it. do a fast this week :) they work well ;) write in the klay and lou journal thing :) amen :) i want to send you my journal but i was a wierdy? haha i sound crazy in it!!!!
