Klay!!! i missed you this week :) how was your week?? get any letters? i'm sending them i promise... haha how do you get the mail? like can you only go get it every so often? 
so me and tiff read those scriptures...you owe us betos :) haha we read them right before Christmas! i told you most everything that happened this week in your voice recording... are you still able to listen to them? this is my last week of the break from school...i have been enjoying it! haha i don't wanna go back. But learning is good i guess ;) i just don't know how many new pathways my mind can handle!! ha when you get home you can help me study for finals! fun huh? ;) haha i will finally get my hott tutor back. Thank you for your forgiveness klay. I have talked to my bishop and everything is repented of. I feel so blessed to have a savior and a best friend/boyfriend/husband ;) that are both so willing and eager to forgive and help me. I couldn't do it without you both. I mean it when I say you've got me hooked...i would be crazy to let you go. Thank you for treating me like the most precious thing you have. I promise i'm here to stay with you. Quote! "Until we have seen someone's darkness we don't really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone's darkness we don't really know what love is." -M. Williamson. Thank you for loving me klay, i love you too. Have the most wonderful week! :)
p.s. i still think argentina is so lucky to have you. I would wait my whole lifetime if it meant having you forever.

Klay:

Lacey:

alright two :) When you are here, i will sing all the time haha just not for other people. :) he was nice! haha he was kind of quiet, he shook my hand...what a missionary. ha you can't shake my hand when you get home! i refuse! haha we talked about how you want to be a maxillofacial surgeon. um...idk we didn't talk long cause i think they were trying to go somewhere to eat. he said that it's been different being home, and he told me to not distract you too much haha his family asked me stuff like what i was majoring in and how old i am and stuff like that. hey i forgot to ask you this question! do you know exactly when you get home? day? Hour? minute? second? haha oh goodness!! i hope they are there! i've been sending a lot lately...so hopefully at least some of them are there! especially the christmas ones! ha one was supposed to be for christmas eve and the other for christmas...but they are both over so just open them at the same time haha i am sad they didn't get there in time! it's all my fault....

Lacey:

hey! those voice recordings didn't work! 318 and 319...they downloaded but i think something is wrong with your recorder cause i can't hear anything...it's just static.  but i am excited to get this letter! :) i really can't remember what i wrote... haha maybe i will write another one just in case. hmmm... i will think of a song for you to sing! what do you want me to sing? and you can always write more poems...i love em.

Klay:

December 31, 2014

Lacey:
KLAYYYYYY! hey mister! how was your Christmas? Have you gotten my letters yet? I am so sorry...cause they will probably arrive late. But! They will arrive, don't you worry. This week was fantastic, mostly cause of Christmas, idk it was just really good i think. On Christmas I went to my grandma and grandpa's, both of em, and then i went to...drum roll... your house!! haha it was fun :) Kierst showed me a little video that she recorded of your skype, i was smiling big the whole time :) It was fun to hear your voice and see your face at the same time :) I'm glad that it all worked out, I was nervous! and thank you for the necklace and cardigan thing that your mom got me from you :) i love both things! and you're parents spoiled me by the way... haha i will have to send you a picture of all the stuff, it was like Christmas or somethin! ;) and! that is the last Christmas without ya! hallelujah. i can't take one more haha um... what else...my cousin tawni got married yesterday, have you met her? I can't remember, but yeah, the wedding was different. ha they are pretty much anti mormon so...it was interesting. But at least they're married now! in other news...in a few days it will be the best year ever! haha 2015 is gonna be great :) Elder lippold said that he was going to be in salt lake on wednesday...and then i asked him what time and he never messaged me back...so hopefully he messages me before wednesday so i can get the stuff from you! :) if not..i can ride the train to provo one day or something and get it from him, some of my friends live there anyway! and me and tiff are taking a road trip sometime during winter break to go down there. but i would rather get your stuff wednesday :) haha so hopefully that just works out.Hey! i did the read 100 days for jesus thing! i missed some days..but i got 100 days! haha and now it's a habit, so thank goodness :) I get my temple recommend next sunday! I was supposed to get it this sunday but i am in logan so i couldn't meet with my bishop. I am super excited though! I haven't gotten to do baptisms in the ogden temple yet, it will be good :) I want to go at least 6 times before you get home. Tiff should be getting her recommend soon too so I can have a buddy to go with :) Quote! "Telling a girl to calm down is like trying to baptize a cat" HAHA! oh my gosh i laughed so hard at this :) ha just don't try it. I forgot a quote last week i think so that was for last week. This week's quote is, "Satan does not want you to think you can change, he will try to convince you that all is lost. That is a lie. You can return. You can repent. You can be pure and holy because of the savior's infinite atonement." -sister Elaine S. Dalton change is my favorite thing...my favorite principle. because without change...life would be hopeless, exaltation would just be a far off dream. The power that the atonement has to make us pure after our worst sins is one of the greatest gifts that he gave us. I have changed before... i feel like when i met you i changed a lot for the better, then after you left I kind of slowly went downhill, but I have seen a change in myself again the past couple weeks, I went and talked to my bishop and that really just made me want to do better. I think it is probably our saviors favorite thing and satan's biggest fear when we get that desire to change and repent and do better. I love ya Klay! i hope all is well with you :) I got "A Walk to Remember" for christmas! member that movie? :) you are my favorite, have a great week!

love lou

This is all the stuff your parents got for me!

Did you get the email with a bunch of pictures??
um...yours :) hehehe my favorite? Idk! i liked all of it, my favorite was probably the cowboys jersey, that was pretty awesome :) did you get your letters yet??
Haha me and kierst were talking about our wedding and brit kept saying, "you're gonna marry kolten!" and we kept saying "noooo...it's klayton! kolten is married" haha

Klay:
and you suppose that i sang? hehe. you can send the ones that i sing if it isn't directed directly to you :) if its a hymn or church song go for it :) but if its about me not sealing you to me in the temple. . .not so much hehe. :)
i got one with all of the gifts that you got hahaha. but i have lost one. . .the one with you in a christmas cap. . . :(
no i haven't gotten anything from you in a month :( hehe no i got one letter but it wasn't my christmas one. . . :) but i am patient
i am so happy that you have had a great christmas, i am happy that you smiled. you are my pride and joy. remember that you are forgiven of me. i love you. just repent thoroughly and you are forgiven of me. completely. you have no idea my capacity of forgiveness for you. i will help you and uplift you. i am the least to judge. you know me more than anyone. i don't care what you have done, just don't do it again. learn and grow, and soon i will be back to support you in every decision. its hard to balance on one leg, when your better half is far away. :) don't worry. the true love of Christ, the love that makes matrimony last eternally is in a thorough forgiveness and sincere repentance. and i love you.
hehehe i love that little girl! if i dedicate myself to you and the lord right now, will you do the same?

Lacey:
danggg mail! haha i'm sorry. I would deliver it personally but i'm not allowed for some reason ;)
Sure will :) do you want to know what the surprise is? ;)

Klay:
hehe i have no idea why! they are very judgemental, whats the worst that could happen? a marriage in buenos aires hehehehe :)
yes!

Lacey:
hahaha i wouldn't object ;) hey! are you going to take me to argentina one day? :)

Klay:
you betcha! hehe i want to go hiking with you here because the mountains are extremely green and hammockable :) hehe

Lacey:
Yess! :) i'm excited! What else is there that's fun there? we could go to the temple and meet all the people that you baptized and taught!

Klay:
sounds good to me! its hard cuz the people are very poor and many dont have official addresses :(

Lacey:
That is sad...how will you contact them when you get home? did i tell you i added miguel cortez on facebook? haha but...i don't know castellano so i can't communicate with him very well ha

Klay:
haha dont talk to him he is a turd ;) haha just kidding but i hope that we can do geneology like he does! are you going to be with your family or friends for new years?

Lacey:
Nope all alone. Haha tiff is sick and in logan and i'm in ogden not wanting to party... i'll probably just write you a letter and crochet... :)

Klay:

December 22, 2014

Lacey:
Hey Klay! How are you? I don't know if you are going to email today..or just on Christmas so i will just write you tonight just in case! I am at your house right now :) haha So for the skype thing! this is important...Your dad's name is on skype is milesklc1962 

I sent you a different one last week but that 1962 one is the real one! and we didn't know which miguel cortez it was...there were like 30 on there...haha so I guess you can either just add your family when you get on...or you can use the elderkelsey account that i created for you...but yeah. Just email me...or your parents which skype account you are going to use. I just want it to work out! I am ok that i don't get to be there, you're family will record it or something for me :) I would honestly probably cry my eyes out for a while if i saw you live haha

Um..this week was good, it is christmas break so I haven't really done jack squat haha just been relaxing. I went to the speth christmas party with your family tonight! haha here's a funny story for you, so your uncle rick said that they went to the workman's house to give them cookies and the dad told rick that his kids have been liking the swingset that rick is setting up in his back yard, and rick's little boy, tegan, said, "If anyone gets on my swingset i'm gonna kick their A$$" hahahaha holy moly. I thought it was pretty funny ha and britlee hates me right now haha i don't know what i did, but she does. Bransy thinks it is so funny that you told tyson that he has to give me a big kiss haha and tysy is too embarrassed to give me a kiss, oh those kids...

Do you like your new compy? elder meza?  and what is elder lippold's first name?? haha i'm really starting to worry that i'm not going to get the stuff that you sent with him because i have no idea how to get ahold of him. Oh! Tiff wants a voice recording from you! haha she says that since you send my sister recordings, she deserves one haha and that reminds me, I got some recordings from you, but none were for me :( ha I think it was an accident, cause you said stuff was having trouble sending, so i forgive you :) but I am expecting recordings this week! ;) if you have time :)

Did you have anymore baptisms this week? You had a lot last week! I just hope everything is going well there! Nothing too exciting is happening here, I will send you some pictures of christmas! I sent a couple christmas letters..but i don't know if they are going to be there in time for christmas.... so i'm very sorry if they're not, they contain some precious things though! haha and also if your mom sent you a package...would you get it? haha cause she likes to break the rules and she sent one ;) ha sneaky mom! so if you do get it she said you can use your credit card to pay to get it. I hope you get it! cause i think you deserve a christmas present :) and I will have some stuff wrapped for you when you get home! and also...wear your shoes Klay! your good shoes! do you still have a good pair? if you do, wear them, and we can get you some new ones when you get home, deal? :) you're mom keeps telling me stuff to say... haha i love her. Tell him to wear his shoes! haha

i love you klay, keep swimmin :) You are doing SO good. i miss you like a fat kid on a diet misses food... :) Have a fantastic week and an amazing christmas! listen to my singing voice recordings to know how much i love you. Last

Lacey:

i dont think that website works now.. . its an RCA voice recorder. maybe you will have to look it up and see what type of file it needs to be able to download it. its model is M4304-A

Lacey:
the ones i get from you are .wav so it might have to be that file...but my recordings are too big to send like that...i will check it out dont worry :)

December 15, 2014

Lacey:
Hey you! How the heck are ya? :) Before I forget I am going to give you the skype stuff...cause that's important. 

Your Username is elderklaykelsey and your password is maschrist25

your family's username is mileskelsey

I will just add them on your profile thing so you can just click on the name and call them, but if for some reason you need to know their username, that's it :)

This week was good, I told you about it in the voice recording. Sorry i kind of sound grumpy in it haha I had just woken up from a coma nap. But anyways...schools out! wahoo! it is out until January 12th, so I have a lot of time to write you long letters and stuff :) wahoo! and to work on the surprise thing :) I can't tell you what it is! and no one else, other than tiff knows that I am making it, so....it will really be a surprise :) It is going to be kinda big i guess...not bigger than a couch but bigger than a cup holder :) haha I hope you will like it. um, i liked your song, i always like your songs, even though you squeaked :) will you sing me songs in the morning when we're married? You are right, I'm hooked like a fishy ;) you got me good :)

How was your week? Did Isabel and Tobias and Augustina get baptized? I hope those are their names, I'm just trying to remember from the voice recording haha but especially Isabel! you guys have been working with her for a while! It would be so awesome if you baptized their whole family! I'm sorry that it is hot there and that everything makes you sick :( that makes me sad. I convinced Tiff to go to betos with me this week and i got the poops. ;) hehehe i am funny. No it was awful. ha but on the bright side, I am getting tiff to love betos, she asked if we could go there like 4 times after we went on monday ha I didn't go to the Christmas Devotional...It was only on TV, and we don't have tv...so yeah. I bet it's probably on the internet now though! I will go watch it and then write you a letter about it, k? :) I can't remember who told me this, I think it was an institute teacher, but they said they know someone that works at the church office building where the first presidency is all the time and they said that President Monson hasn't been in very good health lately...:( sad... I love that guy! But idk, I think you're right, when their wives die, they are soon to die also. cause it's not good that man be alone :) How was your zone leader conference? Do you have to teach at those? Or are you the one getting taught? Thanks for sharing our story in your lesson about the law of chastity :) That made me happy! It's a good story! I think everyone thinks that we were nuts for having that rule. hahaha I thought it was too ;) but we needed it, and it is probably the reason that I get to have you forever, so for that, I am eternally grateful that rule came out of your mouth :)

Oh! What is elder lippold's first name? I tried to find him on facebook, but there are a lot of people with the last name lippold...so I couldn't find him. And I can promise you, if he tries to flirt I will just kick him in the shins :) and graham too haha graham would never flirt though...that would just be way too awkward.  How is elder Meza? hehe elder table...that's funny :) Where is he from and how long has he been out? Do you still talk to or see your hijo ever? I think he was my favorite companion of yours! We will have to have him give our kids piano lessons and go on dates with him and sarah (if they get married) haha i think that will be fun. We are going to hang out with tiff and her husband a lot too, k? OH! and tiff wants to adopt black babies too! We decided that we want to do it together! Like go to Africa and me and you will adopt one and tiff and her husband will adopt our child's best friend! wouldn't that be so cool? I'm pretty serious about this... I want to adopt at least one baby boy from africa :) They are just so cute!

Lacey:

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:

yes i can i have a computer to write on from a member that has skype :) i love you lou. thank you for putting the date in the temple and defending our legacy and future pride.i will give all to you. i love your quote! :) hehe how long is da blizzard? hehe. 

Lacey:

oh yay! do you already have a skype name and stuff or do you want me to get that for you? :) your mom will be so happy!! and the blizzard is pretty big...you might get snowed in... :)

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. I Do. :) Thank you for this unforgettable journey my Lou

December 1, 2014

Lacey:
I love you! i missed you this week, a little more than last week.which is a little more than the week before that...and so on :)  I want to tell you something... you know how your mean companion told you that it was against the rules to email me back and forth? Well when you first told me we couldn't I was kind of upset..because i thought that was a pretty dumb rule. haha but then i made myself think of the positives of it, and it was actually a very good thing for me that we couldn't do that anymore. Cause when we could before, I would always get so upset because my phone would freeze up and not send the messages fast enough, or just little things that would make me so frustrated...and every monday was so stressful because i wanted to talk to you so bad that i would get anxiety about whether my phone would send the messages fast enough. haha sounds stupid i know. But after we couldn't do that anymore i never got so anxious and i was just happy to get an email from you! so... it was a good thing. I am happy that we can do it again, i don't get anxiety anymore because now i'm just happy with what i get haha :) and you spoil me, I am lucky :)

um... i did the most stupid thing ever this week. honest i think it is the dumbest thing i have ever done. I had my micro lab final... and we get to use our lab notebooks... so i did the whole test and i was one of the last ones in there so i was kind of in a hurry to get out, so when i was cleaning up i just put my test in my notebook and left!! i didn't even think about turning it in!! goodness gracious... then i went to get my laptop out of my backpack later that night and i saw that my test was in my backpack and i about freaked out. i said probably 20 prayers throughout the next 15 hours. I emailed my professor and told him that i forgot to turn my test in and i had to go talk to him the next day...geez. i have never felt like such an idiot. he had to check for erase marks and then i had to do a problem on the board..but he gave me full points for it so i was extremely relieved. haha and then! when i went home for the weekend me and whitney had to go to walmart and i locked the keys in the car! .....my brain is shutting down i think. ha

Anyways... how was your week?? has your comp left yet? how are you doing? I know you are probably stressed... don't be! it'll all be okay! everything will work out! if you don't know what in the heck you are doing...just pretend like you do :) but you are smart, you can figure out just about any situation :) i have faith in you my dear! i am making us something... with my very own hands...for our home... yeah, it is going to take a while haha...i will send you a picture when i am done!! but i am pretty excited for it.

"Always remember we are under the same sky looking at the same moon." -Maxine Lee. This waiting thing keeps getting harder...and i keep thinking it's not possible to get any harder...but we are always under the same sky klay. look at the moon, we have the same moon :) and on mondays we are only a couple screens away ;) can i ask you something? yeah? yeah ok. are you nervous to see me again? Like i'm nervous...actually more anxious than nervous..but yeah. I just think about it a lot haha everyone says that it's like you never left when you come back, but i think we've both changed...quite a bit...idk i just want it to be the same as when you left...or...better :) I'm not nervous that you won't want me or that i won't want you...i just can't really imagine what it's going to be like haha are we going to cry? laugh? i will probably be squealing... haha i do that when i get extremely excited. Are you going to make out with me right then and there? hahahah kidding!! kinda ;) haha i'm funny...

I love you!!! have a fantastic week! i don't know if i will get to hear from you tomorrow...hopefully! but if you are busy with companion change stuff...i understand. love love love love love love you!!!!

love lou
