Your Son's Lazy

Note from Elder Alley's mom: He didn't really send his usual weekly update email. He sent a couple fragmented ones with information and he had a "guest writer" for one, too. haha He did send pics, though, so here's what we got this week...

Look, Ma! I can take pics with my iPad! :D
P-day for daaaayyzzz

With his Aussie pal, Elder White  :)

Hermana Lucero- "Guest Blogger"

June 1, 2015

Hey mom and dad!!!

(Quick side note: Elder Alley is playing soccer and p-day is a

distraction for him so his adopted mission Mom, me, Hermana Lucero is

writing this cute e-mail for him❤️)

So this week was super busy, getting iPads was a bit hectic to

begin with. I assume that as a zone leader your son gets a lot of

pressure and responsibilities. Honestly, he does such an amazing job

and he is such a sweet missionary, who is always willing to help and

to be a friend to anyone. I can see that he has grown so much in all

aspects. You must be so proud and so amazed of the work that he does.

Honestly he has been such a blessing to all of us here. He really

strives and really works on being better day by day. This week he did

some street contacting and was able to meet some interesting

people who made all of us laugh. But other than that he did some

exchanges and he was able to bring an English missionary to the Spanish

area and made that elder's day with some good Mexican food and some

good laughs and some good times with us *Span M's. I am super glad

to be his mission mom. I think I even nag him like a Hispanic mom would

but he likes it hahaha. Anyways the work is amazing. The Lord surely

knows what we all need to progress. He molds us to be and become

better. I have surely learned that on my mission. Well, Brother

and Sister Alley, I just want you to know that your son is doing well

and that he is keeping busy. He loves you all very much and remembers

you all with kind, sweet, warm memories. I love ya so much!!!!!

P.S. A little bit about me: I am Hermana Lucero. I am from New York (the

Bronx). I am a Latina. I was a convert at 18 and I love serving the Lord. It has

been my best experience so far. Hope to met ya some day!!!

From Max in response to our email:

Once again Aubrey looks way too old. Also, tell her good job on all the dance recitals. Hope she achieves her goal of making the Mead Dance Team next year. Thanks for the email! You guys look like you're having a lot of fun back home. Love and miss ya!

PS iPad Info:

So because I am now using an iPad for emailing purposes there are some

details I have to let you know.

1) We can't go to the library anymore. So I spent $25 of my money to

buy an SD card to lighting cable converter so that I can still send

pictures and videos home I take with the camera.

2) ONLY church websites and mission approved apps are allowed. So I

can't access my Dropbox anymore.

3) I am allowed to read my emails ANY day of the week, but I can only

respond on Mondays. So if you need to get information to me you can

email me and I'll be able to read it and then either mail a letter as

a response back if it'd be faster or wait til Monday and email ya.
