Week of October 16, 2001 Hey! if the moon were made of spare ribs... would you eat it?
Corban's Email:"I would!
Hello everyone, from the southern hemisphere, I certainly hope that everyone knows that yes I struggle in writing in English. It is hard, especially when you think in Spanish not English. But I am sitting next to a woman, from Tennessee right now, she is a missionary too, but from a different church. Weird, she is in regular clothes and I'm not, and she can get on facebook, and she lives and uses dollars everyday, I use Bolivianos, but I guess she makes a little sacrifice too being gone from her family for 2 months. Well, just thought I would let you all know that I miss you all and hope that you are all doing well. I'm happy to hear that Mr, Sammy Schafer was brought into this world, and October 11th, que chevre! But I guess by the looks of it he is doing really well. Well, I guess I will cut this short, but I have a few requests, if any of you want to send me some pics of the states in fall right now, that would be great, and some family pics or pics in general I love em! I receive all the time, some you people around the world in the states, keep sendin dem pics! ya? muchos gracias! bueno, yo voy a terminar, I'm gonna finish this letter, well, I'm doing well, and have a good week, when you feel cold, if you do this week, just remember I'm burning up, so feel a little better ya? lol, Love yall!

ps, if you didn't write, write me next week."

Corban's Email: " Well, my day and week was good. I'm still in the same area after transfers, this will be my 4th month here in the same area, I will complete 4 monthes y media. and I have the first companion for 2 exchanges this change. And yes I'm still surviving the temps here, and just waiting to here the good news that my boy Sammy arrived. I'm happy to have recieved emails form those of you who emailed me this week and I am still expecting emails from others, UT! I just hope that ya'll are reading these and not just tossing them in the delete box of your emails, ya, I can imagine that, not really I know that you all love me very much, I hope... but I'm still lovin the work, and I realized the other day that I dont want to leave here, well, anytime soon. I'm lovin the mish and the outside world, its a little scary now, even though I'm in it everyday. lol. Well, I'm not in the states, so it is kinda like a different reality here. I'm livin in the 70's I know what it feels like to hand wash clothing, no A/C, no running water, sometimes, toilets in out houses, and eating things that I really dont want to know what they are. But it's the life of the mission I love you all and hope to hear from you next week.
P.S. general conference rules... (shout out to my Mormon peeps, if anyone wants to know)

Yes I had a good two days in conference, it was really cool and the first day, Saturday I got the chance to listen in English, what a treat! But I don't have any problem listening in Spanish, just a little weird not to hear the voices of the profetas themselves. Well, I'm not really going to be doing that much this week, transfers again. I'm hoping that I will get another round here in Guayara. Hoping that I can complete this work here that I started. But just know this Mom, I love you and will talk to you later. Also know this, I'm thankful for you prayers everyday and thankful for you prayers of proteccion.
love you,

Week of Sept. 11, 2011 Craving Mtn. Dew!!
Corban's Email: "Well, thought I would briefly tell you all how I am doing great, and in the photo that I attached I'm eating hambergered liver. yeah it is wonderful. Just about as good as armadillo. But really armadillo is really tasty. I'm still doing well here in Guayaramerín, still kickin and still trying to help these people out. But needless to say time seems to still be flying. Hard to think that in just a few short weeks we will all be in the month of October, and I will be waiting for the rainy weather to start. Speaking of weather, it was a little better this week, not in the 100´s, in the mid 80´s it makes a difference when you are sitting in the humid heat of the jungle, and Brasilian border. But this week and today we (the missionaries of the zone) are going to a water tower to climb, we are going to sit on top and take pics, and drink some Triny, a wierd Bolivian brand of soda. Well, I hope that everyone is doing just fine back in the states. I have a favor to ask of you, drink some Mountain Dew, and eat some Taco Bell for me. lol I'm missin the Mtn Dew. well. Gracias por su ayuda y disfruten los estados ya, gracias.
chau,
Corban"
