January 9, 2012 letter
Dear Family,
Elder Spencer Gubler was in the Marines before he came here. He was stationed in CA, Missouri, and I think he was somewhere else out east. He got to go to Nauvoo with his mom while in Missouri. He said he stayed in a really nice hotel kitty-corner to the temple. We made some plans to buy some land over there and some jet skiis. He`ll be reporting back to the marines the week after he returns. He`s thinking about going to Utah State also. Elder Velasco is doing fine. Right now we are teaching the sisters of the family we baptized on the 23rd. Yesterday the parents (less actives) the son and his wife (our convets) and his sisters all went to church. We`ll be doing some more contacting to find more people. When someone is going to get baptized, the district leader interviews them. In my case, the zone leaders come to do the interview. Who did Josh Feil marry? Is Willson working or still going to school?
Yesterday we had a baptism of a lady from Telchaquillo. She`s 50, but looks a lot older. Her son went to the service. Maybe we`ll get the chance to teach his family. He lives in Acanche, another pueblo a little bit closer. We had the baptism planned for 4:00 yesterday. There was a couple that showed up on time and we visited with them while we were waiting for the rest to get there. As we were sitting there talking, I realized we hadn`t checked the font. I got up, opened the doors, and saw that it was completely empty. Fortunatley there was a meeting later on in the stake center. I got the missionaries there to fill up the font, and we and the bishopric went there. Everything turned out fine.
Love,
Elder Gubler

Dear Family,
The 2011 year ended well. There was a lot of traveling this week. I went to the doctor on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday for my analysis and results. Everything in my blood is normal. The doctor diagnosed me with ``Purpura de Schamberg``. Could you check into that and also ask your foot doctor. What appears to be happening is that the small blood veins in my foot are breaking and then the blood leaves these spots there. They start out red and end brown. On Saturday we went to Izamal to do a baptismal interview. Afterwards we walked by a pyramid and took some pictures. It wasn`t too big. There are other ones there that are bigger I think. After we got back from Izamal, we had the baptismal interview followed by the baptism and confirmation of David. We realized on Tuesday that if he could go that week without drinking that we could baptize him on Saturday. Everything went well. He told his friends that he didn`t want to drink. I`ll also tell him about my investigator that`s in jail. For New Year's, we got to the house by 8:00. We went to church, gave a blessing, stayed at Elder Gubler`s house for about an hour, and then went back to our house. We left again at 4:00. In the evening we ate dinner with a member. We had grilled sandwiches and pancakes. I don`t know Elder Hansen, but I might run into hime someday. Some missionaries from Utah say `fetch`
Elder Gubler goes home on the 20th. Its a couple weeks early so that he can get back into the Marines. I think that is the same day that Colten Rice gets back from Mesa, AZ.
I`m glad to hear that the Z4 and the honda are doing well. Bill Boggs told me that the 90 can't run without a charge in the battery.
Well I hope that everyone has a great year this year.
Love,
Elder Gubler
