Dear Klay, I understand that this email is going to be pretty lovey stuff that will distract you for a moment. But today I got a feeling that I just need to tell you everything that I feel, and then I need to not talk about when you get home and lovey stuff like that anymore until you are home, so this is the last email that i will mention it, but just know I am always thinking about it and us and our future and I am oh so excited :) k?  i want you to know that it is now 2:00 in the morning and I just finished reading all of your letters. haha I promised myself I wasn't going to study today, so I read your letters instead :) They made me very happy. And holy smokes I didn't realize how many of them I have gotten! :) It made me feel loved. Really Klay, I love them, they will always be so precious to me. Your words are what helped me through these 2 years (almost). I have had a hard time without you, really a hard time. But your letters and recordings and emails and pictures made it ok. It is kind of strange to think about the past two years and the whole waiting thing. haha like...wow. I really think God made me either unattractive to other guys or made me intimidating to other guys because I haven't got asked out on a lot of dates (Maybe it's cause I have worn a ring on my left hand ring finger...but i think God had somethin to do with it also) but I consider that a blessing. Klay, I am all yours, you got me :) want to know somethin? and people probably think i'm a little crazy...I called the temple on tuesday :) hehehe for reals, this isn't a joke. ha I am sealed to you on June 27th at approximately 10:00 :) are you excited? :) i am. The temple sent us both an email...which you can read when you get home haha but at the end of the email it says, "May the Lord bless you as you prepare for this sacred experience." I just thought that was special :) I hope you have a big smile on your face because of that, i hope i'm not freaking you out :) haha I just figured...well we both know we want to marry each other, and the salt lake temple gets booked fast so i better call :) but yeah. And I booked our photographer on tuesday as well haha I will pretty much have everything planned before we're even engaged...so yeah, just don't worry bout it :)Um... really Klay, I just want ya to know that I love you. Every email or recording or letter that I get from you makes me just swoon. haha you are perfect to me. I always imagined that I would love someone and we would get married, but I never ever imagined how much I would love you and how much love i would feel from you...it is beyond my words and comprehension. And I want you to know something else, I love our brother, Jesus Christ. I really do love him, he makes our weaknesses strong and it really is through him that I can love you as much as I do. I am so excited to spend forever with you Klay, and it is going to come sooner that we think. But without you, nothing really matters... you are my future, every single plan involves you :) And most plans involve a few kiddos :) Just don't forget that in these next 4 months k? Never doubt that I will be here waiting for you when you get back. I remember at the start of your mission wondering why not very many girls wait for their missionary.... it was so weird to me because I couldn't imagine not waiting for you. Yeah it got hard at times and waiting sucks, but I couldn't imagine just giving you up because i was inpatient. Thank you for always expressing your love, because if you didn't I don't think I could have waited, knowing how much you love me kept me wanting to wait. You did everything right Klay. I love ya :) Thank you for being so forgiving and hopeful and diligent and hard working, and for keeping your Klay-ness that i love :) You mean so much to me! and don't you forget it! ;)

Want to know something else that will make you happy? :) ok so in my chemistry class I sit by a bunch of guys...don't get sad... haha but they all know about you, and one of the guys is really bugged that I am waiting for you...like everytime I bring it up he just gets defensive about it...but anyways, so I told them that I called the temple and he said, "well too bad you'll have to cancel it" and i said, "do you want to be punched?" haha and he said, "You can't just know that you're going to marry someone, you just can't" and I said, "I know I am going to marry him" and he said, "how? is that too personal?" and i said, "yeah, but trust me I know, if i didn't know i wouldn't have called the temple." and he shut right up pretty quick. hahaha dang boys ;)

Okay well i gotta go to sleep...studying tomorrow and finals on Tuesday! wish me good luck, pray for me and I will pray for you! Love you! Have a fantastic week! :)

p.s. How is jose's mom progressing? and also I hope that didn't get you too trunky. Keep going Klay, focus all of your thoughts on the work and you will see blessings pour out so much that you can't receive them. 

love, lou

let me know if these work! i hope they do, but i'm not sure if i did it right...

I almost forgot the quote klay!! "if snowflakes were kisses, I'd send you a blizzard" ;)

One more thing...i said this in your recording but i need to know today..is there any way you can skype your family on christmas? like do you have a computer there that can have skype on it? if so...i will go set it up on your parents computer and i can get you a username and password and stuff. :) Let me know!

Klay:

Lacey:

Klay:

hehe hermano cortez has an account, but if you could create me an account i think that would be excellent, could you tell me the codes and stuff next week? :)

Lacey:

Yep! :) i will do that :) did you have a good week? :)

Klay:

A TEMPLE DATE!!!!!!! HEHEHEHEHEHE I AM THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WORLD! you know, i think that you have a beautiful way of loving me :) its a type of love that is constant without the importance of the situation. i love how you act as part of me with all that you meet :) there are a lot of girls that at best love their men but surely dont express it openly expecially with those of the other gender . . . thank  you lou. i spent a lot of time sending you pictures and voice recordings today and it goes real slow if i write and send at the same time, but i hope that you enjoy all that i sent. the mate is your christmas present that you wont get for 16 weeks but that is very little :) hehe. i will prepare myself for that day i promise you. i find that the best way to prepare is by helping others so i can focus the help i gave to an entire city for two years to my girl and children. imagine all that love focused on our little family. it will be a very beautiful thing. its strange cuz i feel very at peace right now. this is right lou. i am not perfect as you know but i know that i can be with you and that brings a calm to my troubled mind. i felt so buried before. but lace, i am free. thank you for helping in my salvation and for our stubborn legacy. i love you like crazy. i have never felt so happy. keep fighting them off and post that temple letter on the mini fridge! wrap yourself up and i will come back, and take you :) i love you lou, i got a huge letter for you so smile! :) whats the big thing that you are making for our family? hehe. i love you princess, expect a man willing to change all things and give all things. we have three baptisms planned this week baby!!!! tobias aldapi, agustina tejerina, and isabel saavedra! i love you little one. you are my other savior. my hero, my little precious everything. pray for these three, i love you.
