He is really cool and is pretty funny. he probly will be here for a while because they are struggling with getting visas to go there but he is enjoying his time here his family is originally from mexico. Im doing good yeah i have some people that are really close the montelongo family the mother and the 22 year old daught are really interested and like it a lot the father is a nice guy but doesnt really want anything to do with it anymore he still sits in with us though i love them all though they are really cool. they are all from mexico to as well. I also am teaching a family their name is the rivera family from puert rico they are all really close as well i feel bad cause all the hispanics that live here live hard lives pour and work like dogs it makes you think they must of left hell to come here. They are a very genourous people and i love them ( I still hate their music). Im doing well though havent been sick at all i plan on staying that way to although their has been a lot of sick people here but i know ill take the vitamin d glad you guys all had a good christmas and a good trip to california there is two elders in my district from there elder mauinatu from compton and elder nielson from northi los angeles they are nice guys not much else to say but i love you all and think about you guys everyday ill talk to you later<br />

hey fatty how are you jk no trust me i fell you. i was 210 the other day i was like oh F! haha ill lose it though starting may ill do my six months till sexy and be ready for the ladies in november best believe that. tell ally to rub some dirt on it and that i want her to get in to a speach class i was severly disappointed in the quality of her english Definately pre school level tell her uncle badge said whats up and that i challenge her to wii when i get home i will have no mercy on that savage i dont care if she is six.haha just joking i miss her and taylor probly more than anyone it mad me sad to talk to them on the phone and here the year of progress that i missed ( even though it wanst very much; shame on you) haha jk any ways your missing the point you gotta eat the cottage cheese before you go to bed rookie it has casiene protein witch stay in your stomach longer keeps your digestive enzymes going and doesnt burn as much muscle when you go to bed ( higher muscle ratio to fat ratio = sexy trust me i would know ) As for cool stories check in later cause this is utah people trip out if their is a cat in the tree. Although i am teaching two very cool familys right now the montlongos mexico and the riveras/ cortez puerto rico and yes the slash was nesacarry. they are getting pretty close to baptism so hopefully it all goes well or im a raise h word my new companion is elder martinez hes pretty bad a hes from houston is 5 feet six inches tall and brown hes pretty funny his family his from mexico but he is pure america he wont eat beans or salsa makes me proud to see who texas made him.

I have a "PREVIEW" picture to show you what is to come soon. This is one of the pictures that Colton sent. This is Elder Ewards and a member that he works with. The member is 7 foot 2 inches tall, and as seen, towers over Colton making him look like a Munchkin.<br />

News of Colton just minutes after the afternoon session of Saturday's Genneral Conference closed ..... Badger's mother recieved a phone call from Colton and Chesley's friend Drake! He and the single's ward ran into Elder Edwards and his companion! The word is he is doing well, and he seems to get along well with his new companion. They had an investigator with them, which makes my family proud. We are so proud of him for serving our Lord and Savior and for furthering His work. We love you Colton, but next time ..... Please send a special word to your mother! She is sadend since she feels she is the only one who doesnt get to "run into you" at conference. (Also - we have recieved pictures from Colton! Finally! We are working on getting those posted to the blog).<br />

***Spanish Translation (per Scott):<br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;">I don’t know why you want me to speak in Spanish because you won’t understand it, but I will speak a little bit for you guys… Also, I’ve decided that English is more intelligent than Spanish and that Spanish is for the savages. But I’m speaking better each day, I don’t like to practice it much. We always talk in English unless I’m with a missionary that speaks Spanish or when we are talking with someone from another country.</span><br />

<td class="text">The alarm rings at 6:30; I stumble to my feet<br />
I grab my
companion's bedding and pull off his sheet.<br />
A groan fills the room. It's
already time to arise?"<br />
It seems like just a second ago I was able to shut my
eyes.<br />
<br />
The morning activities follow: study, prayer and such<br />
When its
time to leave the apartment, you feel haven't accomplished much<br />
"We have a
super day planned," my Companion says with a grin.<br />
I lowly utter a faithless
breath, Yea, if anyone lets us in.<br />
<br />
With the word of God and my faithful
schwinn, we ride off in the street.<br />
Prepared to face another day of humidity
and heat<br />
It's 9:30 in the evening, the day is almost through.<br />
My companion
and I are riding home, not accomplishing what we thought we'd do.<br />
<br />
We ride
up to the mail box hoping to recieve a lot.<br />
Only to look inside and hear my
echo reverberate "AIRBOX"<br />
We go up to our apartment; the day is now
complete<br />
the only thing to show for our work is a case of blistery
feet<br />
<br />
It's past 10:30 Pm, my companion is fast asleep.<br />
Silence engulfs
me all about and I begin to weep<br />
In the midst of sadness I kneel down to
pray;<br />
I need to talk to Father, but I'm not sure what to say.<br />
<br />
"Oh
Father," I begin, "What happened to us today?<br />
I thought we'd teach somebody,
but everyone was away<br />
My hands, my aching hands worn, hurt and beat<br />
If our
area was any smaller,we'd have knocked on every street."<br />
<br />
Why on missions
are the days so much alike?<br />
the only difference aboutn today was the flat
tire on my bike.<br />
Will you send some cooler weather? the heat is killing
me!<br />
I sweat so bad, it gets in my eyes. Its very hard to see.<br />
<br />
Why do I
have to wear a helmet, isn't your protection enough?<br />
People always laugh at
me and call me stupid stuff.<br />
Please send us investigators so I may give them
what they lack;<br />
I want to give them Book Of Mormon, the weight of them hurts
my back."<br />
<br />
And what about my Family? They don't have much to say.<br />
I'm
sick of not hearing from home day after day.<br />
Oh Father,why am I here, Am I
just wasting my time?<br />
Sometimes I just want to go home, I'm sorry but that's
on my mind.<br />
<br />
My Companion, Heavenly Father, wha are you giving me?<br />
The
way he rides his bicycle I don't know if he can even see!<br />
Now you have it, I
can't go on. I DON'T KNOW what to do!<br />
That, my Father in Heaven, is the
prayer I leave you."<br />
<br />
My prayer now finished I stand up, then jump right
into bed.<br />
I need my feet for tomorrow; we have another long day
ahead<br />
Sleep starts to overtake me, I seem to drift away.<br />
Then it sems a
vision takes me to another time in another day.<br />
<br />
I'm standing alone on the
hill, the view is very nice.<br />
A man walks towards me and says, My name is
Jesus Christ."<br />
Tears of joy well up inside, I fall down to His
feet.<br />
"Arise he states, follow me to the shade you and I need to
speak."<br />
<br />
My attention towrads my Saviour, total and complete<br />
He says,
"Your Mission is similar of what happened to me.<br />
I understand how you feel, I
know what your going through;<br />
In fact, it would be fair to say I've felt the
same as you.<br />
<br />
"Even know how you felt when no one listened to you<br />
At
times I felt now quite sure what else that I could do.<br />
I know you don't like
to ride a bicycle for a car would be sweet.<br />
Just remember the donkey I rode I
was not equipped with 21 speed.<br />
<br />
I understand you don't like sweating, in
fact it's something to hate.<br />
I remember when I sweat blood from every pore, "
Oh, the agony was great.<br />
I see you don't like your companion you would rather
have someone else.<br />
I once had a companion named Judas who sold my life for
wealth.<br />
<br />
It's hard to wear a helmet and have people make fun of you.<br />
I
remember when they put thorns in my head and called me King of the Jews.<br />
So
you feel burdened down by the weight of your pack.<br />
I recall how heavy the
cross was when they slammed it on my back."<br />
<br />
Your hands hurt from tracking
and knocking on doors all day<br />
I guess when they pounded nails inro mine, I
ache in a similar way.<br />
It's hard not to hear from homr when your family was
not there to see.<br />
I lost communication on the cross and cried, "Father, why
has though forsaken me?"<br />
<br />
We have a lot in common, but there is a
difference between us you see.<br />
I endured to the end and finished my mission,
so follow and do like me."<br />
He embraced me with his arms, His light filled me
with His love.<br />
With tears in my eyes, I watched as he went back to the Father
above.<br />
<br />
I stood with awe and wonder when a beep rang in my head.<br />
I
listened and heard the alarm, when I realized I was in my bed.<br />
My companion
let's out a groan, "6:30 already, no way!"<br />
I sat up and said. Come on, I'll
even carry your scriptures today!"<br />
<br />
No matter what we go through when we
feel we can't take more,<br />
Just stop and think about Jesus Christ, He's been
there before </td></tr>
