1. What is something you do every day on your mission that you never did at home?
Ummm study the scriptures. I was alright in studying before the mission but now I study every day.
2. As your friends, cousins and brother prepare for their missions, what is advice you can give them to prepare for missionary work?
GET TO KNOW THE SCRIPTURES! If you don't have a firm testimony of the gospel, get it.
3. Someone asked if you ever get cold drinks there?
Yeah we usually try to get cold stuff. The thing is you have to drink it fast here cause it heats up really quick.
4. What is your favorite thing about your companion?
He uses the Book of Mormon really really well.
5. When are the next changes? Do you think you and Elder Quintanilla will stay together?
The last week of March. I don't think we will be together still, I think he will have changes, but we'll see.

WEEK 34 Update
This week was alright.
Tuesday
My companion was feeling really tired so he called the nurse and she told him to rest. We visited an investigator that is awesome named Santiago. He is living with some members and so we have started to teach him.
Wednesday
Wednesday we were in divisiones with our Zone Leaders, I went with Elder Scott. It was great to be able to work with him and learn so much from him.
Thursday
We didn't work a whole lot today either, my companion was starting to get sick so we kinda took it easy.
Friday
We had a zone meeting and one of the elders taught an awesome class about the Priesthood. Made me realize that we have been called of God, we have His power, and we should use it.
Saturday
We did some service in the morning. I was using a pick axe. That was pretty sweet. My hands are super blistered. We visited some members.
Sunday
My companion was actually sick today. He has a fever, so we stayed home and then went and stayed and the Zone Leaders house.
Hope everyone had a great week!

WEEK 33 - Q&A
Elder Baller's Q&A is brought to you by his aunts and uncles again. :)
1. (Sharon) What is the toothpaste like there?
It is made from the sweat and blended up skin of cows. It is actually surprisingly really good and cleans really well. JK! The toothpaste here is actually imported from the States, I am using Crest. LOL.
2. (Diane) Do you ever have days where you don't feel like working? What helps you on those days?
I honestly don't have too many days like that. I love the work so much, I love seeing the changes that we help people make, I love seeing the joy when people finally find the thing they didn't even know they were looking for, I love that all so much that the tiredness and stuff doesn't really bother me.
3. (Diane) Who cuts your hair?
We usually just go to a barber shop. But it is very different from the States. They used a shaver, like normal. But they cut the edges and everything with a razor blade, like what you would think in the Olden Days (LOL), it is super duper cool.
4. (Diane) If you could have one American food that is not available there, what would it be?
Zupas. I just want Zupas. Enjoy it while you can.
5. (Sharon) What is the most common question you are asked about life in America?
Do you have trees of Dollars in your backyard? That's not even a joke. I have been asked that about 300,000,483 times.
6. (Diane) Do people there associate Utah with Mormons?
They actually do. They always call it the factory of missionaries. The members more because people that aren't really familiar with the church don't really know. But yes.
7. (Ryan) Has the spirit touched your heart and blessed you with a desire to stop cheering for the Lakers?
Never. LOL.
