Dear Chase,
How are you bud? How is 2009 treating you?
Guess what! I get to see you in 2010! That is not even that far away! So, I
have been in St.George since Tuesday night and
I think we are staying here for the rest of the week. Last night I went
to bed around 10:30, haha lame
huh? I have been applying to colleges 24/7 for days now because it takes
so much longer than I want it to. I applied to Weber as backup, BYU, anad University
of Pennsylvania. Penn is ivy league and its really really far away so part
of me doubts i will end up going out there but I applied because i wanted to
see if i could get in. If not, dang, but if I do it's just another
option. The reason i decided to apply there is because it's where the Wharton
School of Business is. Wharton is THE business school and I want to get an MBA degree
there, so if I get accepted to undergradutate school there, that should only
help my chances of getting accepted into a masters program whether or not I und
up attending Penn for my first four years. Plus! I was reading some
profiles of Wharton graduates and I read this one about Ari Meisel, a real
estate developer who is 26 and rediculously successful. I found a contact
to him and emailed him about a week ago and he emailed me back the next
morning! I thought for sure that there is no way he would email me back
especially so soon, but he did! AND he answered some of my questions and offered
to help me apply for Penn, and he did. It's just cool that
someone who is so successful has taken the time to respond to all my
questions and such. He said in his first email "Consider
this the begining of a dialog between you and I so I can help you with
acheiving your goals." Holy Cow! This guy has been in
the news and is really prominent in the real estate industry and
he is taking the time to help me out. I am reading business
books my dad has given me to read and I think I may ask Mr.Meisel if
I can do an internship for him this summer. How freakin cool would that
be? I could get into any program I want and get any job I want and I would be
learning from the best. Plus I would get to live in Philly for a summer! Who knows if it will happen, but I am so
excited, I hope it works out!
So I saw twilight, and the book is better, but
I still loved the movie. It's poorly made, super low bugdet, but it's a
cute story still. I have actually seen a few movies lately, most of which
where dumb, but I am keeping a list of do and dont see movies.
So, I randomly send you email sometimes from my
phone when I know I will forget something... and I think I sent you one about
skiing for Oakley. Haha! Anne said that her brother heard from
someone down in your mission or something like that that there is a kid that
skies for Oakley and travels the world and stuff. What was his name? Chase
Reynolds!! Haha, what in the world? It's funny how even that, of all things,
comes back to us all the way up in Ogden. Can I ask why? Cause if you have been keeping a secret like that
from me, I am going to freak out! How did you do it?! How did you keep a secret
like traveling the world a secret? Haha, nice.
Hey, so... I have a fat crush on this guy,
ya. I think I love him. I haven't seen him in 2 and half months and yet I
have not forgotten about him at all. In fact, I think about him more now
than I ever have. Weird huh?
Later that evening...
I just submitted my Penn application!!!
Whoohooo!! My essay freakin rocked! I have never been so proud of a
paper. Burtons, as in Jake and his whole family, are sitting at our
dining room table here in St.George playing poker. I don't know
how, haha. Did you hear that jake in going to Tahiti on his mission? Awesome huh?

How is church down there? Are the members nice?
Tell me all about it! Guess what time my church is this year... 2. YA, 2. Want
we have to go to a different building because they are redoing my church.
I don't know why, they redid teh chapel like 5 minutes ago, or like 3 years.
I still love my purse! It's so super darling
and all of my friends are jealous! Not so much of the bag, but of you! Cause
you are soooo great! But seriously, no one has ever seen this purse before, and
everyone loves it! And everyone loves even more that you took the time to pick
it out before you left! And I love it even more! And it is totally
perfect!! Thanks bud.
Can't wait to hear from you!
Love chloe
PS! Bud bud loved his spiderman helicopter
and HIllary got me a super cute shirt and earings and yummy
lotion. Love!

Hey bear...
haha so i´ll start by talking about the funny stuff first.. oakley, that is a joke. we were all talking, and we were all sitting around talking, and me and one of the other elders were talking about the kid that always has a one up, we dicided it was going to be us.. haha so he told the story that he is a professional sky diver, and he owns his own plane and all that jazz, and i am a semi professional skier that rides for oakley and travels the world.. and naturally, everyone else joined in for seriousness, and we have one elder (ender denis) that says he got invited to go to some choir school in the east that has the best program, and it was because he had "the most impressive resume." i later found out he got rejected twice from the same school. we have one that says he races bullet bikes and drag races..... he´s like 4´11" haha. and i think there was one more that said his dad owns bentley motors hahahahahahaha.. so basically everyone that was in the mtc with us is famous. lucky me, i know lots of famous people.. haha it was totally dumb, and we were pretty sure everyone knew we were all joking.. guess not. oh well i guess i will just have to be REALLY good at skiing when i get home. i can live with that haha
ok so the whole deal with wharton.. that is SOOOO cool!! and even cooler that that ari dude wants to help you out, i love it when totally cool successful people are actually cool.. like your grandpa, and your dad. yay for successful nice people!! you´ll get accepted. and that would be totally gnarly. i will probably just be at byu. i think thats where i think i´ll go after all this adventure. they´ve got a great educational system, and i´ll be close to home. and snow =( oh how i miss that stuff..
but like i have said before, you can do anything you want because when you want something, you go get it. so if you want it.. go get it!! you know i´ll support you 100% in whatever you want to do.
so i kinda figured that movie would probably be kinda a dive, but they probably made quite a bit of money on it. meaning the next one will be better. im glad you´re keepind a list of movies, because i really like movies. and i like them even more when you are watching them with me..
im totally jealous that you are in george, i miss that place, its nice down there, and the golf is just impossible to beat.. here its just freaking hot everyday, and i feel like my face is going to melt off haha.. the other day it was 38 degrees celcius, which i think is more than 100 degrees farrenheit. i dont like it very much. im much more of a snow person this time of the year.
so church is cool down here, yesterday we had i think 115 people there, and we had 5 investigators in sacrament meeting. woohoo!!!! the members are really helpful to us and our investigators so thats nice.. the meetings get kinda long and boring sometimes, but thats church right? haha the hermanas that make us lunch each day are awesome too, they´re super nice, and they dont even care that im picky, most of them say they are picky too so its no big deal to them haha.
i glad you like the purse, i wasnt sure, but it felt right, so i did it haha..
i love you so much chloe calton. i think of you all the time, and its great, because it keeps me motivated to know that you´re at home cheering me on. thanks for everything.
my love forever and ever,
chase

Well well well...Chase Reynolds... hey
stranger.
So I saw a movie called Marley & Me with my
family on Monday night. It is
most definitely in my top 5 favorite movies of all time! (Regardless of the
fact that I haven't seen that many movies=) It's so so cute. It's a chick
flick, kind of, with a little bit of manly in it. Marley is a dog, so it's one
of those movies, but it's not really the dog part I like. It's this perfect
little couple that gets the dog and it sort of just tells their life story. I
love it! We will see it when you get back. It's going on the top of the list
for sure. I thought way to deeply about the movie after I saw
it... basically I came to the conclusion that anything is possible,
anything. I see this darling family in the movie and it kind of makes you
feel inferior, like a perfect life like that isn't achievable. But then I
remember that it is. Then I get all worried that if I don't go to
some prestigeous school and get some killer job then I will have missed
out on life. But more and more I know that it is so incredibly
possiable to 1) be 100% happy staying in lovely Utah and not trying so hard to stand out 2) have both! If
I wanted to do everything life has to offer, I could. And I think I
will. I just get freaked out that if I don't do everything right right
now, then I will pay for it later. I want to be able to travel the world
and do awesome stuff and have awesome traditions like going to lake
powell every summer or going to a foreign
country every other year. Or just walking up to an airport and getting on
the first available flight to any where, totally unprepared and exploring
where ever I/we end up. I want to go to Ireland and go out into the country and just walk around the
fields of really tall grass and get cought in a rain storm and be totally fine
with it. I want to run thegreat wall of China. Not the whole thing of course. I want to do the Athens marathon. I want to explore Europe for a summer. I want to scuba dive on the great
barrier reef. I want to go on a service mission
to anywhere and live dirt poor for a month and teach little kids how to brush
thier teeth. I want to climb mountains. I want to run a marathon
every year after I am done running in college, whether that means pushing a
stroller or crawling to the finish line. I want to be a teacher
(different, but that has always lingered in the back of my mind). I want to
volenteer as a playground monitor at an elementary school(random? most
definitely). I want to go to a superbowl game! I want to go skydiving and hang
gliding. I want to be a secret santa every year for a family less fortunate,
even if I am a poor college kid, there is always someone that needs more.
I want to learn some really awesome song to play on the piano. I want to make
my family hot breakfast evey single morning. I want ot sing my kids to sleep,
not matter how much work my singing voice needs. I want to write a
childrens book and have all the proceeds go to public education (not that
I could generate that much revenue by writing, and yes, random). I
want to camp out on a beach some where for like a week. I want to kid nap
my neices and nephews and take them on some cool adventure (when they show up
of course). I want to have a calling in the primary (not that I get to
choose). I want to ski alot. I want to go on a mission. I want to
make someone smile everyday. I want to become a rediculously good cook so you
will be excited to walk through the door everyday. I want to have my kids never
hear me raise my voice or swear. I want to capture every moment that is
important to me on a camera then frame them all over my house so when a visitor
comes, they can know who my family is and what we are about just by looking
around. I want to take my kids to a homeless shelter on one Christmas or
Thanksgiving and do volunteer work as a family. Rather than have a really big
house or tons of nice things, I want to have really big experiences and
do tons of nice things for other people. That is why I liked
Marley & Me. Movies like that make me think big in the most wonderful ways!
Sunday night...
Chase! My favorite person ever in the
history of everything and everyone everywhere!
How are you? I am good. Haha, there must be
some pretty awesome people in your mission. It made me smile when I heard the
whole Oakley story because the fact that I heard through the grapevine
something about you made it seem a like you were a little closer than you
actually are. Sorry about the hot weather, that must be great wearing a suit
everyday! But I know no one wears that missionary look like you do, even the
sweaty missionary look. Work it babe. I am so glad you have helpful
members and lots of investigators! That is so good! Not only is that what you
are there to do, I bet that makes your job alot more fun.
So my family was in PC this weekend, super fun
of course. My mom just remodeled the condo so it's pretty nice. We just hung
out. Short and Sweet.
Track has... honestly... not been going well.
You already know I bombed state xc and then I didn't go to Footlocker cause I
still wasn't doing well by the begining of December. So I took a break, like 3
weeks. Its pretty much the longest break I have taken in about 4 years, but I
was in desperate need and so was my body. I just wasn't performing the way I
should have been at workouts and I just felt drained all the time. I started
doing indoor interval workouts at Weber last week and I could feel that 3 weeks
of break nagging at me but I think I will come back pretty fast. I skied alot
and ran only a couple times during that 3 weeks so it's not like I did
absolutely nothing, but I definitely wasn't working too hard. I rested up
really good and now I am working my butt off so I hope the break was worth
taking in the long run. I race at BYU on Saturday and I am freaking out! I am super nervous. I think I
am going to do the 800 and I am praying I get under 2:20, which would be decent for begining of the season. I
will let you know how it goes!
K, good story-- On the drive home from PC I was just thinking, and I was thinking about you (Not a day goes by that I don't =). And I was just remembering the "rock my socks" thing. Haha, remember when you said that in front of your mom it was one of those moments between us when we were around other people cause I just looked at you and said "ok" and we started laughing and mom had no idea what was going on? (Love those) Haha, love it. As I was remembering this story, I laughed out loud randomly and my mom gave me a funny look and it reminded me of when I used to laugh when we would kiss. It bugged you so bad! And to this day, I promise there was no reason for it. But I think I know why I did that-- You know when people say they are in love, they smile when they talk about the person? Well I just happen to be so in love with you that a smile doesn't cut it, I just have to laugh. It's true! In the office the other day, anne and I were the only ones still there and we were talking as we were working. Of course her many boy stories and my one story, you, came up and when I started talking about you anne started laughing! I asked her why she was laughing and she said it's cause when I said your name I shrugged my shoulders and smiled so big and got all giggly! I love it! I love talking about you! Cause everytime I do someone tells me that they can tell I am crazy about you! And I have heard the same things about you talking about me when you were here. LOVE US!! I am praying for you to be safe and to be able to understand the language and to be happy, so I hope you are all of those things.

I just read the first part of this email that I
wrote earlier this week, and I love it! It makes me so happy to imagine you and
me walking side by side in IRELAND of all places
or on some random mountain in a tent and having the time of our lives. We have
to do it, no battle! But right now, I hope you are busy abosorbing
every moment of this, your first grown up adventure, and I am trying to decide
where my grown up adventures will begin.
One last thing. At church last week we got a
challenge to go to the temple once a month and to study out of Preach My
Gospel! Do yo still use that? Cause I got totally excited to use it thinking,
Hey, my favortie missionary uses that book! Oh, and my spanish is coming
along beautifully. Not as beautifully as yours I am sure. Be sure to keep me
filled in on all of your fantastic adventures.
I love you. I promise.
Chloe
PS I re-read the Christmas letter you wrote me
and it really is my favorite thing in this whole world, closly followed by the
purse and your blanket. I love you so much, and I support you 100% in what
you are doing out there. If there is anything I can do for you let me know. I
told Hailey about Elder Maldonado and she is excited to get his letter. Lauren
and Sean are getting married in the summer now, in our back yard. Do you know
what that means? Copious amounts of yard work for Chalo. It's ok, it
will all be worth it. Oh! and you aren't allowed to hate me for being
terrible at sending pictures. I am just really really bad at this. But it's ok!
Because you will get them soon enough and they will be great! (I want some of
you too if you have the chance.) Love!

im sorry track hasnt been going as great as you had been hoping. just keep working hard, and it will pay off. i will keep praying for you(not like i have missed a prayer without you in it).

i love to hear that other people can tell you´re crazy about me.. just the other day, elder maldonado was looking at the shrine of pictures on my wall by my bed, and after a few minutes, he goes "hmm." and i was like "what?" and he said, "she really does love you. like really. i can see it in her eyes. there is a light there that i dont know if i´ve seen before. she really really loves you." all i could do was say,"i know man, isn´t it beautiful?" he said "it really is, i hope someone will look at me like that someday." i was sooooo happy, and it just continues to make me happy everyday.
i have dreams about us all of the time walking around in some crazy random place and having the time of our lives.. i know we´re gonna do it all. i promise to do everything i can to make you happy than you have ever dreamed to be possible.

Hey babe, how is my missionary?
I got my rose on Thursday, that's 3! You've been in Chile for over a month now, holy cow! That's so cool, do you
still love it?
So I went on an official recruiting trip up to
Weber State on Wednesday and
Thursday last week and they made my decision a zillion times harder. I was
pretty sure that I was going to BYU because it all felt right. Well then I went
to Weber and they got me all confused! I am mostly cure that I am not going out
of Utah though. Why spend
30,000 per year for what I can get here? Unless I find a dang good reason, I
don't think I am going to. Weber offered my full tuition, fees, and $150
per month. That's pretty good from what the coach told me, but of course he's
going to tell me that. Franco committed to Weber last week and I think he is
getting tuition, fees, books, room and board. Ya, woah. Anyway, pray your
guts out for me so I will know what in the world I am supposed to be doing! Oh
ya, guess what dirty trick Coach Walker played on me? He was telling Colonel to
tell me that there is a certain hurdler/jumper who Weber State would love
to have after he returns from his mission! So then colonel came and told me
that because Colonel wants me to go to Weber. It's already hard enough, then
they start throwing stuff like that in! geeze.
My meet down at BYU went... ok ish. At least I
have room to improve! I stayed with Lauren after and went to her college
ward with her, weird! It was in a random
building on campus. It was an interesting experience for sure.
I got to go to grandma's house on
Sunday! It was fantastic! I love them to death
and we all love you! Meg and I are going to see a new movie today, Bride Wars.
I will let you know how it goes and if it makes the list.
No, mom is still selling the pc house. My
grandpa owns half and wants to sell it so we just did some up grading. I wish
we didn't have to, oh well.
I loved the story about the drunk old woman who
loved you! Haha, i bet you get that alot huh? And holy ostarage? Haha, I sort
of imagine you being crept upon by an ugly over sized beastly bird.
Haha, love it.
I have to go run, but I love you and I miss you
and I know you are doing fantastice things out there! It made my day to hear
that you spanish and everything is going so well. When I talk to other
peole about their missionary's, I have yet to hear about someone who is as
happy as you! Way to go.
Love Chloe

Hey!
Happy Martin Luther King Day! Guess what? I am
making a facebook! I figure I might as well before I graduate so I can keep
track of friends. And I don't have school today, yay! I would be skiing but I
strained my hip flexor today at my workout and the weather is hating us. It
hasn't snowed in like a week, or longer. So how are you?

Hey baby!!
so basically yesterday was the best day of my mission so far. we had two baptisms, carla and romina osses. they are sisters, carla is 11 and romina is 10 i baptized carla and maldonado baptized romina. it was such an awesome experience, and it couldnt have gone better. we are praying to have 4 more baptisms this week, and i really think its gonna happen. so pray for our investigators!!
so basically i have this gigantic huge smile on my face right now.. and this is why: a) i was praying that you would find a school in the recent future that would meet all of your needs, and that you would be happy with your choice, and b) i have been praying that if it truly is supposed to work out with you and me, that your school would be close to home... i think that`s an answer to both of my prayers?? haha but whatever you chose to do, you know i will always love you and support you in everything you want to do.
haha and im glad that colonel and coach walker talk, because i know that coach dean and coach walker talk all the time, so they`re probably working to get us running at the same school. i think its because they all know that we both perform better when we are competing together =)
(oh and if you decide to go to weber state, be sure to tell coach walker he can sign me up for the team!!)
so i`ve been thinking, and when is it that the fall semester of school starts? because i was talking to some people here in the mission and they were saying that it starts like right before i get home, and they said if thats how it is, and like if im going to do athletics that semester, they`ll release me like a month early to make the semester... i have no idea, but let me know like when that is, because isnt that when indoor starts??
im glad to hear the track meet went ok ish. thats much better than bad =) and i love that you have such a positive attitude all the time.
i love to hear that you`re still chillin with the family, because i made them all promise me that they would spoil you rotten while i was gone ;)
im a little sad to hear that park city is for sure getting sold.. i guess worse things could happen right?
so its funny that you would ask if i get the old lady thing a lot, yes i do... especially from like 15 to 25 year olds, and like 60 and above. they say, "look how beautiful he is." or "he is glowing, look at his eyes." its very funny, but all of the guys here about 15 to 25 years old hate my guts for the same reason.. so they always yell horrible crude things at me. but i dont understand the bad words yet, so i just smile and wave hahahahahaha
so im still having a blast down here. cambios are this week, and i think me and maldonado are getting split up because he`ll probably be zone leader or assistant to the president for the rest of his three months.
i love you so much chloe. thank you for all of your support in everything!!
oh did hailey get the letter from elder M yet? tell her that she should send an email eith a photo attatched to his email.. it would make his whole world! his email is MOMJ@myldsmail.net
and i would love it if you had time to attatch a picture or two to one of your emails.
my love forever and ever,
Chase
ps, you should be getting a pretty pink letter in the mail in about a week or two.
and my parents will be getting a cd of pictures and a tape that they can share with you.
love you babe. keep smiling

This
picture is on it's way in the mail, I love it so much! It's so cute! It's
in my yard at the last swim of the summer. I didn't know that I could
send you pictures through emial. Would you like me to send hard copies as well?
I will send more soon. I just don't take a ton of pictures I guess, but you
know that.
That's
so good you got a baptism! Way to go! Haha, and I love that the women down
there love you, they must be smarties!
Ah!
I wish I could be down there with you seeing all of this awesome stuff happen!
It's ok, we will just go back later! Ya, Hailey got elder maldanado's letter
and she is going to write him back and send a picture and stuff. I will give
her the email address. I hope you like you new companion! and tell elder
maldanado that he is a gem=)
I
LOVE YOU! You are my favorite! oh, I get compliments on my purse nearly
everyday, it is fantastic. This girl at Banana Republic like freaked out she
wanted it so bad. You did good!
What
can I do for you (besides be better at sending pictures)? Cause I want to send
you something fun! Let me know! Love you.
Chloe
I will keep checking my email in case you right back

Chase who is my most favorite ever!
Congradulations on your first baptism! That is
so exciting. Was it absolutley glorious? Did angels descend around you? I loved
the picture you sent me, thanks for that. Can I do the same thing? Like attach
pictures and stuff? I did send you one last week, I don't know if you got it.
I forwarded some of your family emails to Austin and he loved it! He emailed you and I think hunter did
too so you should email them back. I know I keep saying that but you really
should, If you can. Austin is doing really good. I really think you are setting
a way good example for him. I think he reads your emails and reads about how
happy you are sounding and I bet that is comforting for him. Hunter got his ski
pass taken away for 2 weeks... or 3. Why? He ws riding switch too fast...
Ring any bells? Oh, ya, the bells that rang when you hit into a snow maker
doing the same thing! Love!
I gave Hailey Elder Maldonado's email so she
should do that soon I think. I will write him too. He sounds like a gem. Be
sure to let me know where he ends up and how you like your new comp when you
get one. I love love loved his email to the family because he is just like
everyone else you come in contact with, he loves you!
So Obama is president! I have never watched an
inaguration ceremony before but school pretty much came to a stand still so we
could watch it for 3 class periods. It was pretty cool, Obama had some good
stuff to say. I think he won't totally kabosh the country, but I am kind of
excited to see what he will do. When he took the oath of office, he said it
wrong and had to do it again the next day! Haha, way to start off right. I know
a girl that went to Washingtonto see it
and she said that when Pres. Bush came out of the capitol, people booed. Sad
huh? Even if people didn't like him as a president, he is still a regular guy
who deserves some respect you know? Hillary Clinton is Sec. of State. That I am
worried about.
Guess what? Larry H. Miller had to get his legs
amputated just below the knee. Sad. I guess it was a diabetes
complication. Random bits of news... And on tuesday, the Air in Utah was the worst in the nation! The whole country! Ogden was 5th on the cities in the US with the dirtiest air,
and they aren't lying. The air here was been so yucky. Probably due to the lack
of ANY snow fall in the past little while. Haha, how is your air in Chile dear?
So, not a single senior made the boys
basketbell team. Not one. Jeff, Izzy, Ben all didn't make it. Actually I think
Ben made it but then backed out cause he was the only senior and he was just
doing it cause his friends were. Anyway, we played Ben
Lomond tonight and lost by 1. Yes, 1. 1 sad little
point. I wasn't actually there. I was at work
and then I got grounded! Fun huh? Lizzy fowled out of her basketball game
agaisnt BL in the 3rd quater! The ref hated really bad on us.
So the Lakettes got 2nd at region,
I heard. And the tigerettes perform
tomorrow. I want to go but I don't know if my parents will let me.
IT HASN'T SNOWED IN OVER 3 WEEKS.Ya, it is
terrible. I thought you said you told the snow it was ok to come down once you
had left the country? Haha, you aren't missing out at all. I haven't skied in
about 2 weeks because the snow is so bad. It rained today! and It has been
really foggy for 2 days. How is the weather down south? Still super hot?
So I pulled my hip flexor last week. Ya, no
good. I couldn't race at Weber because of it and it is making me rather upset.
It's hard to get in racing shape when a physical therapist and my mom are
telling me to not do anything for 3 days. I meet with the weber coach on
tuesday and the byu coach on thursday to
talk about exactly what they are willing to give me. I am kinda scared. But I
think no matter where I go it will be a blast! I can't wait.
I got a raise! Whoohoo! I now get paid a solid
$7.35/hour instead of just 7! Haha, ya, it's pretty sad that I get paid that
much when I work for my dad. But I firgure I better start learning how to live
on less now so when I have to pay for everything in college I will at least
know where to start.
Meg and I didn't end up seeing Bride Wars, my
mom wanted me to see Mall Cop instead. So my family went to that. It was funny,
kind of, but it mostly felt like a disney made for tv movie. That's why I
cant win with comedy-- it's either way dumb or way bad. What do you do??? Oh
ya, you watch chick flicks and action stuff instead!
Hey, guess what? No really guess. K, I will
tell you. I love you more than anything ever. You are still my most favorite
boy and I still miss you everyday. Thanks for doing all you do and just being
who you are. You really do amaze me. I love you babe.
Sunday
So, you know how it hadn't snowed? Well it
definitely snowed. We have a few good inches down here so hopefully more in the
mountains. A few inches may not sound that good, but that just goes to
show how bad the weather has been all this january. The air is clearing up a
bit though.
So Colby Hill's parents are going to pick him
up today right? I was hoping to be able to send some stuff down for you with
them. However, how do I say this without sounding as upset as I really am... My
dad NEEDED a climbing partner to belay him and ASKED me if I would go. (Did you
catch the part in there where he actually told me I had to go? just checking)
So I didn't get the stuff to the Hills. I am so sorry. It really made me
sad. However, I will just ship it. You will get it a little bit later than I
would have liked, but I guess that's all I can do.
Avery got a blackberry (she bought it, I am
waiting for my birthday) and I was playing brickbraker on it and it reminded me
of when we were in church that one time, sitting in the hallway during
someone's fairwell with hunter and I wanted to play brickbraker. You let me of
course without tellingg me you were going for some rediculously high score and
you didn't want ot lose any lives. I of course lost lives, but you didn't say a
word. Hunter later told me that you were cringing as I would lose lives, but
you just let me have my fun. Thanks. I love you.
Lauren and Sean are getting married on June
12th. Good solid date. It will be right after I
get home from a senior trip so I will be wicked tan. I am going to Lake
Powell. I am way excited, however nothing will
beat our trip, and I think I will find myself looking at the stars at night,
not being able to think of anything but you. But you won't mind that right?
Haha.
I pray for you and Elder Maldonado and all your
investigators. I want you to continue to be happy and have success. Is
everything still going well?
I am betting I end up at BYU, that's close to
home right? I can't wait! The fall semester of 2010 at BYU starts August
30th and the winter semester starts
January 4th 2011. So I guess it just depends. I
don't know when college indoor season starts but I will find out more details
for you.
Oh ya, the tigerettes got second at region
to Logan. But next year, Ogden will be 4A and Bonneville and Ogden will be the
new cross town rivelry. That should be fun.
Thank you for doing so well out there. You make
me want to do better on all that I do, but you make it so hard to keep up!
Thanks for being so wonderful. I can't wait to hear from you, I love you a
million.
Bear
PS How long would it take for a package to
reach you?

January 26, 2009 12:14 AM
I randomly found some super old pictures that
Kristin had. The 2 with me in my blonde hair are from freshman year! Haha, I thought
they would make you laugh. The others are from not too long ago... kinda. The
one with Sarah and me and sarah's cousin Emma is from the night you got pulled
over on the way to Bear Lake. The other
is from a football game. I will start attaching pictures regularly. I didn't
know I could do that! If you want, I will send hard copies of all of them, or
you can tell me which ones you want hard sopies of. Either way, I hopw you like
them. I know they aren't current but I don't need to tell you I am horrible at
remembering to take pictures. Lately it has been more because I don't have
anything to take pictures of! But don't worry, that should change soon.
I love you and I hope these pictures make you
smile a little.
Chloe
PS I sent you one last week, I hope you get it.
It is on one of the later emails of the day. It's my favorite :)
Monday,
January 26, 2009 12:19 AM
I went back to check if those pictures worked.
Some did, but some come up very small. Oh well. Oh, and the picture with a
bunch of girls is my sisters and girl cousins and I in towel hair wraps my
grandma gave us for Christmas. Funny/ambarrassing. Melanie is in there, she is
still a wierdy, but I love her anyway.
Now I really am done.
Love you,
Chloe

hi baby.
i love you.
so everything here is good. im happy and working hard.. the last week was super rough, but we´re pushing through it. the baptism was really great, it was nice to be rewarded for hard work.
i got austins email and got one back to him. he sounds happy, thats good.
elder m got hailey´s email, and is super stoked to hear more. he is leaving to be district leader in a new place, and im with an argentine named elder bravo. he´s kinda a punk, so this 6 weeks will probably be a little slow, but i´ll play nice =)
so the obaba reign has officially commenced. i hope its ok. and i hope hillary doesnt ruin the world..
thats wierd to hear about larry.. i hate when sad things happen to great people. haha im sorry about the snow. i really told mother nature she could do her thing, but if she wants to hold out til i get home, thats fine haha.
thats like super sad to me that none of the guys made the team.. tell them they are all super stars to me. and tell them they need to write me. that would make me happy.
im so sorry to hear about the hip flexor. that hurts.. i hope you get back on it quick.. best of luck with the coaches. i´ll pray for you. i know it will be good whatever you chose. i can definitly see you in purple or blue, so whatever you choose, work it baby ;)
wanna know a secret?? i love you too!! and i love you for always making me smile.
its alright that stuff didnt go with bob and shelly.. thanks for thinking of it though.. so it takes about ten days i think for stuff to get to chile, but it just depends on how fast they get me stuff. they now said they are only delivering stuff every three weeks, but i also heard that wasnt real, so we´ll see what happens.
you´re gonna get a phone for your brthday? yay! thats great. i do remember that day that you were playing brick breaker on my phone. and i couldnt have cared less how many lives were lost, it made you smile, and thats all that matters to me. i love you too.
june 12th. that is a good day.. when do you want to get married? pick your perfect day, and thats when we´ll do it. you pick no battle =)
i would love nothing more than for you to go to lake powell in my memory haha. make a wish or two for me ok? promise?
please pray for our investigators they like all are kinda dropping, so we´re working hard to save them..
ya thanks for the update with college dates and stuff. im of course not making any decisions right now, but its always good to know.. byu is definitly close enough.. i just dont want you to meet some nice returned missionary down there and get married. i would definitly cry. haha but that would be a great school to go to! let me know how it goes with the coaches! when do you have to make a final choice?
i love you so much, thanks for the email and the pictures. the one of us by the pool is oficially one of my new favorites. and i definitly need a hard copy of that one.
my love forever and ever,
chase

word. Hunter later told me that you were cringing as I would lose lives, but
you just let me have my fun. Thanks. I love you.
Lauren and Sean are getting married on June
12th. Good solid date. It will be right after I
get home from a senior trip so I will be wicked tan. I am going to Lake
Powell. I am way excited, however nothing will
beat our trip, and I think I will find myself looking at the stars at night,
not being able to think of anything but you. But you won't mind that right?
Haha.
I pray for you and Elder Maldonado and all your
investigators. I want you to continue to be happy and have success. Is
everything still going well?
I am betting I end up at BYU, that's close to
home right? I can't wait! The fall semester of 2010 at BYU starts August
30th and the winter semester starts
January 4th 2011. So I guess it just depends. I
don't know when college indoor season starts but I will find out more details
for you.
Oh ya, the tigerettes got second at region
to Logan. But next year, Ogden will be 4A and Bonneville and Ogden will be the
new cross town rivelry. That should be fun.
Thank you for doing so well out there. You make
me want to do better on all that I do, but you make it so hard to keep up!
Thanks for being so wonderful. I can't wait to hear from you, I love you a
million.

Haha, there is no way I am going to BYU to get
married. I am still a child! I am just going to try to get done with
school super fast and get an awesome job and do awesome things. There are
way too many girls, don't hate me, that get married really really fast that end
up not graduating from college. (This is my dad's new favorite speech) There is
a 50% divorcece rate in the world AND in the chruch. How sad is that? Of the 7
marriages in my family, 4 have ended. In science, 50% failure is a huge
catastrophy, so why aren't we changing something about the way we marry people?
My dad's theory is this... we get married to young. No matter how long we have
known a person in their child hood, we don't truely know what kind of adult
they will be untill they are just that, an adult. So what makes an adult?
My dad says that to show adulthood, a person has to show they can make it
throug school and hold a job and stuff. He has given me this speech many
times since Lauren and Sean started talking about getting married. It
makes sense though- if the biggest decision in a persons life has a 50%
chance of failure, wouldn't that person want to do everything possible to
ensure success? ya, I think so. My dad also says this- if you wouldn't make the
perosn you want to marry a business partner, don't marry them, because marriage
is the moat important business deal you mill ever make. In short, I am not
going to BYU to get married. And when do I think we should get married? I think
we should take our dear sweet time, finish your mission, get school going, and
all that. Lauren is 3 years into school and my Dad still thinks she is too
young, if that gives you any idea.
The Steelers won the Super Bowl. 27- 23. I
wanted the Cardinals to win, but oh well. I met with both BYU and Weber
coaches last week and they were both awesome and my parents liked them
both. I can get tuition, fees and $150/month from Weber. And
I can get tuition and books from BYU. I am not sure which comes out
to be worth more, but they are both good. I am leaning toward BYU but I am
not sure yet. Signing date is Feb 4 so I will
probably decide within the next week or 2. I got a letter of intent from Weber
and I will get one later this week from BYU. All I have to do is sign one of
them!
How do you like your new companion? What
is he like? And how are your investigators doing? I emailed elder
Maldonado, so maybe he will write me back. Do you still have contact with him?
My family went to the Draper Temple open house
last week and oh my freakin goodness. It was so so pretty! I expected it to be
pretty but it was absolutely amazing. I am sort of sad I don't get to see
Lauren get married, but obviously I wouldn't have her do it anywhere but the
temple. Speaking of Lar! Her wedding is going to be awesome! She has her
dress, her cake, her invitations, her date, her man, the temple, the reception
location, she chose her bridesmaids, but I am not sure if she has solidified
the colors. Anyway, I will surely send you pictures of the whole
thing. My mom and sisters and I went to a Bridal show at thesouth
town expo center on
Saturday and it was so much fun! We watched
a fasion show and I pictured you, Austin, and Jeff doing the tuxedo modeling and I had to laugh!
Fir Drill!!! See you later! I think It might be
reall actually!...
Lov you

I
did get your letter and I was going to thank you for it, but then the fire
alarm went off and we had to evacuate the building. I am home now but I think someone
just pulled a fire alarm. Thanks! I love love loved it! And I gave Hailey's
letter to her. In other news, I am sick. Lame huh. I hate being sick.
I guess it just makes me grateful for my health.
About
your bad feeling... I won't lie to you, things have been better around here
in the past for sure. But there isn't anything for you to worry
about! I got grounded last week, maybe that's why! I hope your sad feeling goes
away, let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Hey! Sorry I am late getting this to you.
School is good and I still haven't decided on college. And I did get your
letter and I loved it! I gave the one for Hailey to her and we laughed, in a
good way, cause his english is not so great. I am doing this thing for semianry
for the next 3 months, its called the 3 month challenge, where you have to
do all this stuff likeread scriptures for 15 minutes everyday, pray twice a day
for certain things, no r rated movies, no "foreign" kissing, no
caffine, serve others twice a week, and the list is about a page long. It's not
hard stuff, just good stuff to remember. I will let you know how that
goes.
I got a blackberry! It's so cute. It's pink and
white, and I love it. I was supposed to get it for my birthday but my dad took
and lost my black one so I got it early.
Valentines is this Saturday so I hope you have a good one! Do the celebrate that
down in Chile? I doubt it. Anyway, I
am going skiing for the first time in like 3 weeks cause it finally snowed today!
Tell me all about your comp and how the work is going k?
Love you! \Chloe

im sorry you´re sick. thats no fun at all. as always, i´ll pray for you.
im glad to hear you´re going skiing. that will be super fun. i miss skiing a lot. i had a lot of fun with skiing. i think im going to get really into skiing after the mission. i want to go to a bunch of different places to ski.. wanna come? it will be super sweet i promise.
so the comp is good, he was out of commission this week, but we´ll get back to work this week. we´re hoping for a baptism this week, so pray for us.
i watched charly last night, and cried like a baby haha. it reminded me of you for two reasons.. the first is because you would love to know that i still love chick flicks, and the other because it reminded me of how much i really really love you. that will never change. it feels deeper and deeper every day. and everytime we go anywhere, everyone wants to see the picture of us. nobody can believe how beautiful you are, niether can i..
te amo chloe calton. mi corazon es tuyo para siempre. yo no puedo imaginar mi vida sin mi amor alado de me. por eso, mi oracion es que nosotros podemos estar juntos siempre.

hey baby how are you?
i hope you are happy and well. i hope you have had a great time up at alta, or the bird? i dont remember, but i hope it was great. im glad to hear you´re still tearin it up on the hill.
i had a baptism yesterday, well actually 3. it was a nice 4 month aniversiary present to myself. haha.
so im guessing you werent home last night to get your rose, but you will get it. rose number 4. if im not mistaken, that means you´ll be going to get a slice of pie with my mom and megan?? unless that was a joke, i dont know.
i hope the roses were good for valentine´s day. i hope that they made you smile. down here they dont really celebrate it all that big, so it was just like any other day here.
i also hope you had a good day.
i cant believe im missing another birthday. im sorry. i really need to stop doing that.
i hope school is all coming well. when is it that you have to decide on school? how is the decision coming? what are your thoughts? if you want to talk it out with me, please do. im here to help.
how is the family? i hope everyone is happy and well. how are all of the friends? keep me posted on whats up.
not too much to report on this week. kinda boring, me and elder bravo get to start working again. he just barely got the ok from the doctor to start working, so we´ll hope and pray for success.
i love you chloe calton with all of my heart. thank you so much for your love and support. i miss you bunches, and the love just keeps groing.
keep smiling for me.
love forever,
your chase

Hey
Baby!
I
went to Alta with Sarah and some of her family. It was super fun but the snow
was pretty tracked out everywhere, and I have never been so cold in my life! I
seriously was going to die! My feet were numb and my lips and nose were frozen!
And one of Sarah's cousin's babies Samantha fell and smacked her head right on
the corner of a marble fireplace and split it wide open and it was the scariest
thing. I was in the kitchen and turned around right in time to see it happen.
It really makes me sick to think about. Super sad, but she is ok. There
was this other cousin, Crayton, that brought his girlfriend Molly up to the
cabin and they reminded me of us ;)
I
LOVED THE FLOWERS! You are so good with flowers it is rediculous. You make it
so hard for other guys to look good for other girls! You just do it so much
better! I think of you as a model other guys should look to when trying to be
good at taking care of a girl. Thank you, I loved them.
Guess
what I did last week? I went to a Kalai concert at University of
Utah with Sarah (we are practically dating). It was a benefit concert to
raise money for a medical mission Nelson Diamond is doing to Kenya in
May, cool huh!? He and Todd Gilbert put it together and they are going to build
a medical center there, provide medical and dental care. And climb some
mountains for a week as well. Cool huh? It made me super sad to be there
without you, but it was good. He is hilarious! We will have to go when you get
back because you would love it.
THREE
BAPTISMS! How, stud. That's really cool, I am way proud of you. Tell Elder
Bravo to get better, thats good you guys can get going again. I hope you two
are getting along well, do you like him?
4
Months! Wow! No, the pie thing is serious, who knows if we will actually end up
doing it but I bet we do. I am going to get my rose tonight!
Haha,
don't worry about missing birthdays, I am going to miss 2 of yours too! I am
registering to vote, weird huh?
So
I went to the Valentine's dance on Saturday with Jon Park. It's was
fun, I got a Rolling Stone's t-shirt! I went skiing at Basin on
Saturday too, Valentine's Day, and I drove up by myself to meet my family and I
thought 'What would Chase and I be doing today?...Skiing duh!' So I went and
skied a couple runs alone before I found my fam in honor of you being
gone.
College
is so hard! Secret--- I haven't told anyone, but I think Weber is out.
I just think I will do better elsewhere. But you know me, I might change
my mind like tomorrow! I am going to visit Univerisity
ofColorado on the 22nd to the 24th. Their team is nearly as
good as Oregon so I am excited to see if I would fit in. There is a
minor problem in that I just talked to the coach last week because I suddenly
wasn't feeling good about BYU or Weber so I neede to see something else. So he
has already promised his money out to other athlete's and he can only give out
so much money by NCAA rules. So I am hoping that one of those offers falls
through so he can offer that money to me! Cause if he doesn't offer me any
money I can't go there because tuition alone in over $26,000 and the overall
estimated cost of one year out there is nearly $40,000. Ya, holy shee. So
some girl better decide not to go there, or I am stuck with my first 2 options,
which aren't bad options at all, and I think if I don't get what I need from
Colorado that will just be another sign that I am supposed to be here
in Utah.
My
family is doing alright. Just planning Lauren's wedding. Our friends are
good too. The guys really do miss you. A few months ago, I thought for
sure I would be sad to graduate, but now I am so not. I am so ready to be done.
I am still haveing fun, I just think college will be more fun! I am trying to
live in the moment and soak it all up though. I got sick a little while ago and
my parents thought it was due to me trying to work, run and keep up in school
so they recommended I stop working. It was easy cause I work for the man that
wanted me to quit. So now I have more time to play and be a senior! I can
actually ski now too. I skied like once in January, no joke, then I quit
working an skiied 3 times last week! I am getting enough sleep too, so I am not
sick.
One
thing I have learned in the recent past is that being exclusive is one of the
most hurtful things you can do to your friends. I don't think people realize
how important be included is untill they are being excluded. It's a hard thing.
I am not whining, I just see some of my friends turning their backs on other
friends and it hurts my heart! And I wouldnt even condsider myself one of the
most excluded ones. Anyway, Sarah and I are on a mission to include girls in
our class who normally don't get included. We are companions in our own little
mission :)
Oh!
Running is going super good! I suffered all through January to get where I am
now and it is soooooo worth it. I feel like a rock star! It seriously feel so
amazing to come out of a tough patch into a really solid rythym in workouts, I
love it! I have simplot this weekend, I hope I do ok! I will run 2:17! I l
will run 2:17!
Sorry
I didn't get this to you before, I am terrible! I hope you are still
doing well and I miss you a billion. Keep doing good and workin hard and
smiling all the time! Love you bud.
Chloe
PS
Has that bad feeling gone away? I sure hope so. I love you babe.

hey bear how are you?
from your email it sounds like you are super happy, thats super good to hear!!! i am really glad that you are happy and doing well.
im glad you had fun up at alta, thats good. i would love to be able to ski right now, i miss the snow a lot! it makes me sad that it is so hot here. but it has started to cool off a little bit, so its actually bearable to go out and work..
im glad you liked the flowers, but dont give me the credit for it, i just told my mom to get roses, and she does the rest. some might call that cheating, i just call it having some help haha. but if you like them, i will just have to keep sending them.
i love kalai so much! i guess you know he´s a member of the church... i really wanted to find a concert for us to go to before i left, but i couldnt... sorry =(
but for sure we will find fun things like that to do in about 19 and a half months... yes 19 and a half, which is less than 20!!!!!! it is so much a smaller number huh? the time for me is really going fast, whisch is good, because some days feel really long.. but when i look back its hard to believe im going on 5 months. i hope the time has been going quickly for you too..
im gonna send a little message to remind my mom about the pie. because i like pie, therefore, you guys need to go get pie in my honor =)
i hope the dance was fun with good old jonny park haha good kid. i love the rolling stones haha
thanks for the skiing in my honor. that makes me smile. i honestly cant wait to come home and ski with you again.. i have such good memories from us skiing. i have dreams about you all the time by the way. skiing, running, driving in the car, swimming. it makes me happy to think about my girl, and to always think of you smiling..
im sorry your college decision is not going so hot. i am still praying for you though, so keep workin it out, and know im behind you 100 percent in whatever you choose.
haha thats funny your parents told you to quit. your dads really funny. i miss your whole family a lot. tell everyone hi for me.
it makes me sad to hear that people are having high school drama. its so not worth it. i hope i didnt like offend anyone before i left or anything, that would suck. i just want everyone to be friends forever!!!
but nice job on including people. the more you open your horizons, the more easily you get along with people, and in spite of the differences, you can still be great friends.
im glad running is going better, hard work really pays off. keep workin hard, and you´ll continue to progress.
my mom said you got sick again for simplot.. im so sorry baby. maybe you should quit school too so that you can have more free time so you dont get sick haha. dress warm and drink lots of water and you´ll be ok i hope. (i sound like a coach) sorry
te amo, y te extraño mucho,
con mucho amor, y con toda mi corazon,

Hey!
thank you so much for the beautiful flowers! I loved
them! And the hersheys kisses, they are my favorite. But holy cow I am going to
get fat! Actually, I am not because running is going really good! Besides the
fact that I did terrible at simplot, I am really excited for outdoor. I was way
sick when I ran simplot, I had strep and a migrane and a sinus infection. Ya,
no bueno. I got 9th overall with 2:23, the same time I ran 2 weeks before when I was healthy. So i like to
think that I would have done amazing had I been healthy :)
I am freaking out about school! I dont have
school today but I am doing homework with sarah all day because statitics is a
beast.
I am deciding between Colorado, BYU and weber. I will let you know what I decide
because I am going to decide in the next 2 or 3 days. SCARY!
So my birthday was fantastic, besides the fact
that you weren't here and my dad was in Las Vegas for meetings. I got your letter, thanks for sending
another one while I am terrible at writing, sorry. One is coming your way
though.
On my birthday I went to Rascal Flatts and holy
shee it was amazing!! My mom bought me a tshirt and it was fantastic and I
can't explain how amazing and fun it was! I had a party at my house the next
day and that was a big hit. I got some presents and what not so it was pretty
great! I am 18 now, weird! You are 19, still weird! Did you get the package? I
hope you dont think I am a total fruitcake for sending that little book. I
liked it, but I am also a girl, so maybe you think it is dumb. So whatever you
shoose to do with it is fine with me! I don't want to sound wierd, but I dont
ever know what to get you! I feel like the stuff you need you already have and
the stuff you want you never tell me! So when stuf like birthdays and
Valentines roll around again, you have to help me out k?
So I listened to the tape you sent home, that
was way fun! I sent you a letter that addresses the contents of the tape so I
ruin my letter by telling you now, but I did love it! Oh! I had a couple people
ask me for you address so thats good!
Are you still doing great, cause on the tape
(which was about a month ago now) you sounded fantastic! Oh ya! Your fam got me
a recorder of my own so now I dont have to borrow theirs! And like million
ELFudge cookies. Ya, they want me to get fat too i guess.
I miss you a million! But you have kinda
inspired me to go on some adventures of my own! I want to go to Africa so bad it is retarded! I want to do like a study
abroad/medical mission/something wicked and insane! So proabably next summer
that will happen. (Weird! That seems not that far away and that is like right
before you get home, yay!)
Hey, guess what? No really guess. K, you are
amazing and I still think about you and your fantasitc self everyday. Thanks
for being such an inspiring person!
Love you, Chloe
PS I have to go do homework. However, if you
write me back today and you have time fo me tocome write you back, text my

Hello miss chloe ;)
how´s my baby today? i hope your fabulous!!! i hope your birthday was everything you hoped it would be and that you got the things you wanted. it sounds like you had a great time with the party and everything. im glad you had a great time at the concert. i would have loved to take you to that for your birthday, but right now that would be a little difficult. so im glad your mom took you.
im sorry to hear that simplot wasnt everything you wanted it to be, i know how that feels for sure, but you´ll be good to go for the outdoor season, and you´ll tear it up. just remember, you´re the best, and nobody´s better. so you win no matter what haha. just keep workin your butt off and everything will be good.
im glad to hear you´ve got it narrowed down at least, that probably makes it a little easier.. best of luck with that, as always, you know im behind you 100 % with whatever you decide.
i was reading in the book the other day and i was just reading about your 16th birthday party, and all of the events that preceeded and followed, and i had to smile so big, because i just started thinking of all of our AWESOME things we have done together, and i hope and pray that there will be years and years worth of memories together. i remember a lot of the times that we used to just jump in the car and drive around for hours and just talk about nothing. it was so great to just be with you. and like the little quote book says, every moment, every second i spent with you was one of the best moments of my life, and i will cherish it forever.
by the way i love the book. you know i love mushy love stuff. thats just how i am. so thank you so much. anything you get me is more than i could ever ask for, so dont even sweat it. its more than i can get for you here..... all i can do is send flowers and candy haha and sometimes a tape.. but if there is anything else you want, just ask, and i will work with my resources =) and if there is anything i am dying for, i will let you know. when in doubt just send american candy haha thats the one thing i miss a lot.
im glad you enjoyed the tape, i have filmed a couple of things on my camera, and i´ll put those on a cd and send them home. most of them are completely in spanish, so if nothing else, you can hear how my spanish is coming along..
africa? sweet!! then i´ll take you to chile.. ya??? i think you´d like it. there is a lot of cool stuff here..
i love you to pieces.. talk to you soon,

Mr. Missionary,
How is the love of my life doing? I hope you
are well and happy and having oodles of success.
So this week has been pretty good. On
tuesday I played an indoor soccer game and
we won 8-6 and I scored! Whoohoo! I loved it! I hadn't played for over 2 years
and this really is the last time I think II will ever play because a soon as
college running sets in, I don't really get to risk playing other sports and
getting hurt. So I am loving it! We play a coed 18+ league so its pretty
fun. None of the teams are too good because no one really plays coed hard core
you know?
Then on Wednesday I went to hot yoga and it was amazing! I have done
other yoga and I have tried pilates too but I didnt like the other stuff near
as much as this new hot yoga. I think it is about 105 F in the room so everyone
in there sweats like they just stepped out of a swimming pool, including me,
its disgusting! However, the workout is amazing! I had muscles sore the next
day that I didnt even know I had! Haha, but really, It is 90 minutes of hard
core stretching that you wouldn't think was that hard if you were to just
watch, but It kicked my butt! I am going tomorrow night too. It's funny cause I
went with Ethan and he loves it too, but none of the guys will go with him,
haha so I go now. I want to do it consistantly because it felt so so good! I
felt like 5 pounds lighter and super cleansed and healthy. You should go with
me when you get the chance :)
Then on Thursday, I made probably the 2nd biggest decision I will make
in my life. I decided for sure that I am going to University of
Colorado at Boulder this fall. I am
really excited! I just know that I need to be there this fall and next
year for school. NCAA contracts are made one year at a time so I am only locked
in for one year. So as confident as I am that I am going to love it, there are
a number of reasons that could bring me home before my 4 years are up. When I
called Weber and BYUs coaches to tell them I was choosing to go else where,
they were both really nice and said that if I ended up unhappy with my
decision, I could come back and they would both love to have me. I just
see it as an opportunity to go have an adventure, and you know me, I have
always wanted some adventure! And for the next year of school, there is no
reason for me not to go see something different and seize an opportunity.
I am really glad that the contracts are one year at a time because I don't
think I could commit to going away for all four years all at once. Anyway, I am
really excited. I am just as nervous as I am excited though, maybe even
more. I prayed, I went to the temple, I read my patriarchal blessing, I
fasted, and I made a decision so I think I should be ok. (I am still freaking
out though!) PS-- do you get to go to the temple at all? Tell me if I am wrong
but I swear there is a temple in Santiago. But I doubt you are there ever...
Then on Friday, I went to the Jazz game with my dad and Zach and
Avery. We had seperate sets of seats so my dad and I sat across from the Denver
Nuggets up about 17 rows, Zach and Avery sat about 12 rows up behind a basket.
It was a really fun game! The jazz came out pretty bad and were down by 20 at
one point in the first half then ended up winning by I think 10. Ya, 30 point
turn around! Anyway, Jazz have won 11 games in a row now, I hope they go all
the way!
Then on saturday, I went on a long run with my team. 90 minutes
straight. I do that on most saturdays, but this last one I was really thinking
about it and how grateful I am to be healthy. I plan to stay that way because
going out and being able to just run and run and run is a blast! Then I went to
a Utah State game up in Logan.
They were undefeated at home this year and only lost 2 games away, cool eh?
College basketball is way fun to watch, they hustle a little harder than the
pros it seems like. I looked for your brother but I didn't see him. I didnt
call him cause I was on a date.. ya I know.. I was with Dan. It was fun and
he's a really good friend of mine because I have know him since 2nd grade, but
honestly it just made me miss you more :) We actually talked about you and he
was asking me questions about relationships because I think people looked at
you and I as a perfect couple, but this isnt news to you and me ;)
Then today I went to church, changed some
clocks, and visited some family. My mom is in St George and so it was just
Zach, Ave, me and dad but we visited my uncle in his new house. He just got
remarried to a Jill, a lady that lives near me. She has 3 kids and he has three
kids equaling an instantly huge family! They went to Hawaii and got married on the beach without telling anyone
about a month ago. Different, but I guess that's how they wanted it. They
aren't sealed though.... weird. We also visited my Grandpa Calton and Sally and Anne. I am sure you have met them
before, but I can't remember. Did you ever go to there house? Anyway, My
grandpa just talks about how much he misses "my sweet heart" cause my
grandma died about a year and a half ago. It's so sweet to hear how much he
still loves her, cute!
Guess what!? When I went out to visit Colorado I met a kid on the team named Aric Van Halen...
Ya cool name right? Well he is Aric Van Halen of Van Halen the band! Wicked
huh? His dad is one of the two brothers. And I didn't even know at the time or
I would have had him sign my face or something! Haha, not that I listen to
VanHalen ever, it's just sorta cool.
So, the Calender, you know, the calender! I
started writing on it. Everyday I just write what I did that day and I love it!
It's like journal in a nut shell! I am way excited about it because I started
it back in february and I tried to go back and write things in on
January and I couldnt rememer alot of
stuff! Luckily I had my handy dandy black berry with never ending text memory
so I looked back at texts to see what I did on some days, but it really showed
me how much I forget, and I hate forgetting! So ya, I love my calender even
more now!
So, I would totally love to send you pictures
but my dumb dock for my camera has dumbly dissappeared so I can conect my
camera to anything! Ya, I know, lame! So as soon as that problem resolves
itself, you will get to see my white little self! (Ya, I am in serious need of
some sun right about now)
Hurricane track meet is this weekend, first
outdoor meet of the year! That probably means that BHS prom is this weekend
huh? :) Loved that dance more than anything! I saw Meg's dress last time I was
over and she looks sooo pretty in it, but what else is new right?
3rd trimester has started! My last stretch of
highschool, sweet moses it is about time! I have loved high school, but I am
going to love when it is over too. Oh ya, a bit of high school non sence
that I want to share with you... I was nominated for best eyes, best physique,
and most athletic. Shwing! Ya I know, it's dumb, but I wont lie and say it
didnt boost my confidence level like 3 points :)
So... I think i will bring my book to a close,
haha, I had alot to say! I want to keep hearing all about your adventures and
your investigators. When you tell me about individual people, I feel like I can
more effectivly pray for them and you and I feel like I am a part of the work
down there, in a very round about way!
Hey, you are still my favorite, you are still
in my thoughts and prayers all the time, and I still miss you more than
anything. I still love you with all of my heart, and I still can't wait to hear
you voice again. Mothers Day is 2 months away! That's nothing right? Ya, we can
do it.
Hey.
Chase.
Baby.
I love you.
Smile k?
Muah! Chloe
PS We are only 2 hours apart now, yeeha!

im happy you are still being social. dan is a good kid, and i know he would treat you right.. im also extra happy to hear that it made you think of me =) i dont like the thought that im not home to show my affection daily, so i try to do it in my letters a little bit haha. haha im also glad to hear that everyone still uses us as the example relationship, because i really feel like we did it right. and im very happy to say that i still feel the same butterflies everytime i look at my wall that is plastered with your face.
the wedding in hawaii sounds.. fun.. a little surprise right? haha
i definitly met your grampa and the girls. its always nice to hear about the people that made love last all the way to their last breath.

Chase!
Hey, how are you?! I loved your last family
email! You sounded fantastic! Have you had a chance to see the blog your mom
made you? It's so perfect, I love it.
The Jazz lost after winning 12 games in a row.
They lost to Altlanta too, lame.
Grandpa Merrill is great! He is still going
strong, but getting old none the less. I will make sure he still has your
address and hopefully you will hear from him! He is awesome huh?
My calender is of you and me, my family, and
some of my friends too. It's perfect. There is one month with just us on it and
it's my favorite ;)
So, do you remember a long time ago, like
September ish, you asked me if we have a "date" like a day that
we first got together? Well I think it should be March 17. Mostly because that was Prom the first time we went
together and I remember everything about that night vividly. Or maybe it should
be our first kiss? Or maybe Christmas Eve? ;) Or maybe that night we went to
Toads and Olive Garden? (Can I just say how much I loved that night? I
seriously could not have loved it more! We just went to Olive Garden together,
just the two of us. I could not have been happier. Then, we couldn't decide
what to do and you said, I think I have my golf clubs in the back, so we drove
out to Toads and hit at the driving range in the wind and dusts storm! I loved
just us hanging out together, just us. You are my favorite!) Haha, I guess what
I am getting at is that I think that most of the days we spent together qualify
as something very special to me :) either way, you will get something for being
so fantastic!
Today was Austin's farewell and he did really
well! He spoke on the 3 reasons he chose to go on a mission and he sounded
sincere. But he and hunter say they still haven't heard back from you, have you
gotten anything from them? Like emails or letters? I am just worried that you
aren't getting stuff people send you.
It was also Dallin Johson's Homecoming. Taylor
Johnson's brother. Wierd! He is my sister's age and it's weird that all those
guys are coming home now. I saw Ben Roane for the first time today at Dallin's.
He got home about 2 weeks ago. He grew a few inches and still looks about the
same. I talked to him about how he saw Lauren at a friends wedding last week
and the first thing she said was, this is my fiance Sean. Haha, he's like, I
know geez! But, anyway he said it was pretty awkward. Speaking of other
missionary's, what happpened with Jake? I am so so sad for him. I wonder what
happened that made him come home.
I went to Hurricane this weekend and it was so
fun! I got a wicked sunburn though :( It's not horrible, but it hurts. I
rabbited a 3200m for Sarah because she was going for a state record. It was too
windy for her to do it alone so I volunteered to rabbit for her for the first
1600m. I normally would run a 3200m at 85 pace but for Sarah to break a state
record she would have to run 80 pace. So, I ran in front of her for 3 laps at
80 pace to break the wind so she could have more energy to break the record. We
were right on time for the 3 laps I ran (and I was super proud of myself
because when I was running against the wind for 3 laps in a row with sarah
behind me, it felt like I was running against a brick wall). Then I dropped out
because that is what rabbits do. Sarah kept going but slowed way down. she
ended up running 85s and 87s. Sad, she didn't get the record, but the wind was
just way too strong. Anyway, I then ran a 1600m and did terrible, I ran 5:32 (Ya, my PR is 5:01). ThenI ran a 800m and got 2:22 which is an improvement. Then I ran the 400m leg on
the medley and that went really well. I am sad but I think Sarah is going
to get to run the 800 on the medley and I am going to get to do the 400m on the
medley more this year. I don't mind too much but I like finishing. One of my
favorite race memories is the medley at state last year. So overall the meet
went ok and the girls team took 2nd to Cedar City by one point. They will be our biggest competition at
state.
So I feel really sad/upset about the whole
comera situation. Here it is-- My brother lost his camera. Avery lost her
camera. My mother lost her camera charger AND my camera charger that she
borrowed. So, I am the only one that has a camera but my mother lost my
charger! I am so sad because I didn't get to take hurricane pictures and I have
pictures on my camera from my birthday I want to send you but without my
charging dock I can't connect it to my computer. So, you can be a little mad if
you want but only a little. I am just feeling bad :(
Well, my week was good. I hope yours was too.
Congratulations on 5 months! Guess what? Next time, it will be 6! And I believe
it is 6 weeks from now, I will be on the phone with you :) I love you babe,
work hard down there and keep being happy. I hope you and Elder Puma do well!
Love Chloe

Hello my sweetest girl,
how are you? you sound truly happy. you must be relieved to have made the choice on school.
so the "date" or "aniversary" whichever you want to call it.. you can choose whichever day you want. i just consider all of it valid. i love you so much!!!!!!
im happy for austin. tell him congrats. i have written him back, and i havent gotten anything from hunter.
i havent gotten anything from like anyone...
so the thing with lauren and ben is pretty funny. haha but his fault, right?
the track meet sounds like it was fun! keep working hard, and you´ll be fine. you´ll keep progressing and you´ll have an awesome season.
sont feel bad at all about the camera, i have like a ton of pictures already to tide me over for a while until you can get something figured out. i will just wait with anticipation haha.
im sorry baby i dont have like any time today, but i think of you always, and it just continues to push me forward. i love you with all of my heart. do you have your 5th rose yet? i hope so.
love forever,
chase
ps keep smiling(the time goes faster that way)

ola mi favorito guapo muchacho, como estas? I
hope you are happy.
So this weekend was pretty good. I went to
Ausitn's house on Friday I hung out
with Austin and Tal and Brit
and Sarah and Rachael. We just sat around a fire and talked. It made me happy
that it is getting warm, I love summer nights! How is the weather down there?
Yesterday I went to Jr. Prom with Rhet and it was way fun! It was him 4 other
juniors who all asked senior girls. I had a good time. We went to Oaks for
breakfast, TGI Fridays for Dinner, and hung out at Rhets and watched Twilight
after. Durig the movie, Curtis and hisFremont girlfriend who he took to the dance got super comfy
and it made me wish Rhet was you, but he isn't so I cuddled with Ali and he sat
on the floor :) Haha, me and Ali both fell asleep. K, so when I first read
Twilight, I remember being in an Airport on my way home from Footlocker, so it
was the 4th of December 2007. My mom
and I were waiting for our flight and she was reading so I went to a random
wing of the airport to call Hailey because at the time we talked about
everything and she had a story to tell me. Her stories usually consisted of me
giving her advice about how to handle a boy :) We ended up talking about how
you remind me of Edward, and I may have told you this already, but it's true!
Even though we hadn't been serious for a while, the last few times I
had seen you (OHS Homecoming assembly, 2 days after your birthday, the night
before State XC in the rain, that one time we talked on the phone for an hour
while I was in Cedar with Lauren after you had given me the first CD, ect) I
had been really drawn to you. But you knew that, I wasn't very good at hiding
it.
Today after church I went to the dedication of
the Draper Temple. All the stake centers in Utah had it broadcast to them. I guess when the dedication
happens, it makes all the stake centers "extensions" of the temple
because we could see inside so we had to have temple recommends and what not.
My mom and I went and it was pretty cool to see because I had never seen one
before. President Monson is funny. He messed up the program a couple times and
he's just so sweet everyone had to laugh.
Oh! yesterday when I was about to leave for prom,
my cousin London, her boyfriend
Bryant, and aunt Stephanie all showed up at my house to show us London
engagment ring! Yes, London is engaged. It's super weird because Lauren got
engaged on Christmas and is getting married on June 12, while London got engaged this week and is getting
married on May 4th. 6 week
engagedment! Holy short! And she has only been dating the guy for 3 months!
Their first date was on Christmas Eve at my family party. Personally I dont
think first-date and family-party should ever be in the same sentance.
They are a little weird too. Not in a mean way, in a I don't think I would ever
be like them way. They are just so public about everything! I dont think they
keep anything private! The kind of conversations you and I used to have alone,
they have on facebook for everyone to see. Anyway, that's london though. And
this is not the guy she was thinking about marrying while you were home. They
broke up at Thanksgiving and she had a new boyfriend the next week(steven) and
she got rid of him 3 weeks later. And now she is engaged. And in 5ish weeks she
will be married. Sweet freaking Moses. I want to grap her head and shake it and
say CALM DOWN AND TAKE 5 MINUTES TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING! She has
been way to excited to get married for a while. I think her mom is putting
presure on her or something. She just barely turned 20 for heavins sake! I
think it wouldn't weird me out so bad if she wasn't boy crazy and always
switching guys. She went from high school dating arounf to hitched way to
quick. Ok, I am done venting about my weird cousin :)
When is tyson getting married?
Track is continuing to get better. I have a
meet this
wednesday so I guess we will se how that
goes.
So, today it rained. And thunder was predicted,
however I have heard none. Nor have I seen lightning, but I have a theory... I
think that lighting and thunder are on hold untill you return. I haven't
witnessed any since before you were gone. Seriouly, and I pay attention too.
Maybe it's just cause it has been winter, but regardless, I miss super big
thunder storms almost as bad as I miss you :)
Did I ever tell you about how the girls at my
school are crazy wierd about asking early to dances? Well, this last week, all
the girls started asking, the week before jr prom! lame huh? I didn't really
worry about it cause I am going to take Franco and I am not worried about him
getting taken so I just told him I am taking him. And I already have my dress
and it is beautiful!
So, I haven't gotten a charger for my camera
but my broha found his so I got to take pictures at prom so some are attached.
I boroughed the dress from Shaylee Shupe and my sister did my hair. I wont lie,
I felt kinda pretty.
In responce, yes, it is bens fault Lauren moved
on and is now engaged. And I do have my fifth rose. As much as the time is
going by pretty slow for me because it feels like it has been a
really long time, I still can't believe that your mission is
almost 1/4 done! I still want to know all that goes on with you so keep me
posted.
I love you bud, keep doing what you do.
Chloe
PS dont think this is creepy, but my mom bought
my dad this cute book and this is inside of it. There are a couple pages
that have "Heartwarmers" on them and these are some...
Take a leisurly drive together and enjoy the
scenery...(the scenery being the person in the seat next to you...or Provo
canyon on the way to the canbin)
Attend a concert in the park
together...(whether it be music or comedy)
Watch an old movie together...(Does A Walk to
Remember as old?)
Be eachother's very best friend...(done)
Enjoy simple things, like watching a
sunset...(or fireworks on a roof)
Curl up on the couch and look at pictures... (
or reveal deep dark secrets out of a journal)
Walk along the shore in the moonlight...(or on a dirt road in the mountains of Heber)
Walk along the shore in the moonlight...(or on a dirt road in the mountains of Heber)
Cuddle up in a hammock in the shade...(I guess
this starts our to do list...I love you Chase)

Hola mi amor.
como estas? quiero decirte algunas cosas. primero, te amo. segundo, e extraño tanto. tercero....... te amo haha..
bueno, ahora la cosas con menos importancia, pero igual, son cosas buenas.
how are you baby? i miss you(like i said), but i just keep smiling, and i know that you are doing just fine and that we are both doing just what we are supposed to be doing.
does austin leave like this week or next? thats crazy, i remember when he got his call..
haha good old rhet, i love that kid. i bet you guys had a lot of fun. sound like you and ali did at least haha ;)
it makes me smile so big to hear about all of the things that you do that end up reminding you of me. not a days goes by that i dont see or hear or do or say something that doesnt make me either laugh and smile or almost cry to think about my girl thousands of miles away. but it all just helps me push forward and work harder. i thought you might like to know that the FFH is still on the top of every page of my planner. i think of you constantly, and i think always of how blessed we are to have found eachother, and that we share the same beliefs, it helps so much to know that we are both working towards the same goals. speaking of goals, how are you doing with your seminary challenge? are you reading and praying and all of that???? how are your goals with track? are your times dropping?
today i added like 5 more pictures to "the wall" as all of the missionaries in my district refer to it as. and it is my own little ray of sunshine at the end of each day, to help me fall asleep on a good note, regardless of how the day went. thank you so much for loving me. i dont know that i will ever be able to put into words just how much you mean to me, but just to try a little bit... i love you with every piece of me, and that will never, never change. i love your eyes, your smile, your hands, your smell... oh how i miss your smell, i remember it used to just make me melt haha.... anyway, back to the letter.......
its funny that you would compare me to edward, because to me, you are my own bella swan. everything about you makes me want you, and at times, it felt as though i was never going to have you. but once we came together, it was clear that there is nothing that can come between us, not the thousands of miles, and definitly not the short 18 and a half months that stand between me and you. the bands of this love are far too strong and far too pure to be broken by trivial things like that. i will be yours forever, you know that, and i promise you, that will not change. ever.
the temple detication sounds cool. i was bummed that we didnt get to watch that, i remember the nauvoo one, that was pretty neat.
wow, london is engaged. hahahahahahahaha isnt her mom the one that used to say that you and lauren were whores for dating? and her daughter is now engaged haha that sounds a little bit backwards to me. i dont know though, who am i to judge? haha keep me posted with how that one goes, i will be here waiting with my bucket of popcorn =)
tyson? my cousin? you mean bridger? if so, he is getting married on wednesday of this week. otherwise, i have no idea who you are talking about..
i miss the rain. i havent been in a rain storm for a long long long time. like more than almost 6 months. but they say the rain is gonna start probably in the first part of april, then i will get it like everyday. i miss being in the rain with you, and the snow. i have many fond memories, including the night before state and the long, beautiful kiss in the rain, and again in your backyard on christmas eve. haha remember the time we tried to fix the lawn mower in the back yard for like an hour and a half in the dark hahahahahaha, great times. but rainstorms, maybe they will just be put on hold, and we will just pick right up with the rain storms again when i return =)
random, i had a dream two nights ago. you and i were walking in the street, it was in st george, and it was summer. it was probably like the middle of the night, because the moon was right in the middle of the sky, lighting up the road. anyway, we were just walking, and all of a sudden, it started to sprinkle on us.. when the rain picked up, we both started laughing, and then we danced in the rain, and i sang to you.. you cried, and it was really chick-flick-ish.. you would have loved it, it would be perfect for a movie.. and for us ;)
im glad to hear that you and franco are going to the dance. that will be fun! tell him "cuando estan en el baile, usted va a tener mi vida en sus manos, quidela porfavor. y tambien, bueno suerte con atelatismo(track) este año. hay que romper todo sus recordes." tell him that. he´ll understand. you´re going to be gorgeous, as always.
i didnt get any pictures, so hopefully i will get them.
yay, 5 roses, thats almost 6. and then we only have to do what we´ve done 3 more times and then i will be home.. hang in there baby, we´ll be just fine.
so to fill you in on whats going on, i had a baptism yesterday, his name is pablo, it was an easy baptism, his whole family are already members, we just tought him, and he went right with it the whole time. i hope we will have at least two more this cambio.
i think my comp is stealing from me, all of my money is gone. he´s really lame, but we´re trying to get along, and we´ll see how it goes. hopefully its only one cambio, cuz i can already tell that the next 4 weeks will be some of the longest of my life..
i think thats all for now. i love you with every piece of me.
i hope to hear from you soon, my love forever and always,
chase
ps i love the "heart warmers", they are great!

Hi Chase, how is my best friend? (Answer this
question honestly as if I were standing in front of you right now.) Are you
happy?
Austin leaves this week, so so so weird. He
seems excited though.
The seminary challenge is going good. I won't
lie and say I read everyday, but I am getting better. That is the one I have to
work on most. It isnt hard stuff, mostly stuff I do any way but it helps to
think more consiously about each good habit.
Track is going well. I worked my butt off last
week and City County is this Tuesday and Wednesday. I am super sad you wont be
there with me so I can sneak off with you after the meet is over :) I cant
believe that high jump picture you have of you in the paper is one year ago!
(That is city county right?) I ran the Golden West 5K on Saturday and saw your
mom there helping. I saw like 10 people all in BHS track sweats, and I totally
love my/your hoodie by the way :) I will let you know how my times go this
week.
I meant Brigder. My mom and sister actually
ended up at the wedding by chance because my sister is thinking about using th
caterer that they used so they went to check it out not knowing it was your
cousins wedding. Lauren said she recognized the groom from that date we went on
OVER A YEAR AGO! (weird) and then your mom appeared. What a conicidence.
Anyway, I heard it was lovely... plus a few funny things, but mostly lovely.
Ya, my aunt steph, London's mom, thought Lauren
was a slut for being a cheerleader. BUt she is getting more normal as time goes
by. London already has a dress and engagement pictures and she has been engaged
like 5 seconds. They want to go on their honeymoon to my house in St George....
thats fine with me as long as they stay out of my room.
So, Sean and Lauren came up for dinner today...
along with Seans parents and step parents! They are divorced and one is
remarried and the other has a boyfriend. It wasn't too bad, but the whole
cliche dreaded in-law dinner totally applied. Lauren and Sean decided to go to
Diminican Republic for the Honeymoon and we ahve bridesmades dresses and cake
and all that picked out. It's kinda weird but it's coming pretty fast!
I love the dream! Do you remember when I told
you about the dream I had when Lauren was sleepin gin my bed with me? Haha, I
loved it! I love good dreams, and most of the time I wake up laughing because
they were a reality about 6 months ago :)
I will tell Franco, but you dont have to worry,
he's a good kid.
So on saturday I went to the Young Womens
general conference with my sisters and mom. So good! President Monson is such a
cute old guy! He talked about being courageous in chastiy, in virtue, and in
not judging other people. I had never thought about how judging people is a
weak thing to do so the opposite, not judging, takes courage. But I really
think it does. I also think it applies to your current situation with your
companion...
Your mom didnt foward me last weeks email from
you because she said it was just... sad. Are you ok? Talk to me...I am so sorry
your companion is hard to deal with, I really am. I hope it gets better for you
and he can learn something from you, because it sounds like he has alot to
learn. Dont let it bring you down, only let it give you an opportunity to bring
someone else up. You have a chance to impact his life for good, just like any
other person you serve in the field, and he will remember your good influence
forever if you can reach his heart.
Congrats on the baptism, keep it
up. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
I wanted it to be a surprise in the mail, but
considering that you may be having a hard time right now, you can look forward
to a little package with pictures and other fun stuff in it coming your
way. It's in the mail by about 3 pm Monday :) I love you Chase.
Love Chloe

hi baby=)
how are you? to answer your question, honestly, im doing a lot better than last week. i was really struggling to get along with my comp, not like fighting, he´s just easily the wierdest dude i have ever met in my life. we are doing ok now though. im just trying my best to have a good attitude with everything. thats the truth. its ok, we are having some success, and working hard, he´s just wierd, i talked to president chavéz, and he just told me he knows it will be hard with him, but he said he put me with him because he knows i can handle it.... i guess thats a good thing right?? haha but we´ll see how it goes, we have baptized two people, well i´ve baptized two people, he doesnt really help much. he´s just "special" as they keep telling me. so i´ll soldier on like i do;)
so i heard something really nice that made my day yesterday, i have a girl in our branch that was like "you´re going to be assistant for sure!" and i said "why do you think that?" and she said "because i can just tell, i have told only 3 missionaries that they are going to be assistant, and all three were!" haha that was right after i totally repremanded the whole stake for not helping the missionaries haha. we watched a video of elder holland, and he says the same thing.. he says,"i see the day when the missionaries in chile are baptizing tens of thousands of people every year, and the only way they can do that is with the help of the members." then one of our counselors in the stake presidency asked me to say a few words.. so i got up and told everyone that like elder holland, i have a vision for this area, and in that vision, we have members that stay active, and the missionaries have a member in at least 4 lessons everyday. in which case, we will baptize more people every year. also i told them that we are going to start asking references in every visit, and we wont leave until we have a commitment to go with us to the same reference. i then bore the strongest testimony i have ever borne in my life. it went something like this(its hard to translate into english, but here we go), i love this gospel, i love being a missionary, and i love my savior jesus christ. i know that the church that we belong to is the only true church on this earth. i know that through the prophet joseph smith, the church was restored in its fullness. i know that if we do what we are supposed to, and try our best every day to be better, we will one day be able to live with our heavenly father and our families forever. i know that because of the atonement of christ we can all be cleansed of our sins. i know that the work of god will progress because of those of us who choose to push the work forward with all of our might. we will continue to fight for the cause, and we will continue to baptize. i know that we have a prophet that loves and guides us today, and that through one of the lord´s chosen servants, we have been blessed to see the vision that god has for us here in chile. it is now your decision as to weather you are going to continue to fight agaist this wonderful work, or if you want to help find the lost sheep of christ. again, i know this is the truth, i have recieved a personal witness of the truthfulness of these things, and now i am here to share that blessing with others. i love the lord with all of my heart. i love chile, i love its people, and i love every single one of you. i sincerely hope you will all find the courage to help us in this, the work of our lord and savior jesus christ. i leave this challenge with you in the name of him who paid the price for each of us, the eternal son of the father, even jesus christ, amen.
i cried for about half of it, but it felt well worth it. i just have learned to listen to the spirit and do what it tells me to do, so i "baja-ed the caña" on them. which roughly means to repremand with love haha.
so i got a letter from austin, he sounds happy and excited,he will do really well in the mission.
it really is wierd to think that track meet was so long ago. the time truly just keeps ticking. it might be slow, but it just keeps going.
im really glad you like the sweats. i wouldnt have anyone else have them =) how´s the blanket?
thats cool everything is getting all figured out with the wedding, i really am so happy for them.
i love dreams, they are one of the things that keeps me motivated..
i love hearing talks from any general authority, they are all so spiritual and what not.. im sooooooo excited for conference... oh the memories.
haha i will tell my mom to forward my message to you.. it wasnt that sad. i was mostly just pissed off about about a few things, but thats how life is, you fall down, and you just bounce back again. so here i am, i am fine. i promise. you dont need to worry about me, just make sure you keep me in your prayers.
so i had another baptism yesterday, i baptized gladys, finally!!! it was soooooo cool!!
thank you so much for your never-ending love and support.
i love you with all of my heart. i hope to hear from you soon,
your chase ;)

My most favorite man in black, Reynolds, Chase Reynolds. (Totally corny James Bond quote... another movie I haven't seen :)
That
is definitely a good thing! (that President Chavez trusts you with the
situation) And I am glad that the AP predictor thinks you will be AP. I
don't know exactly what an AP would do, but I understand it involves some
resonsability? Fill me in on what the calling really is.
Thanks
for sharing your testimony with me, I really appreciate it :) The people down
there are lucky to have you.
The
blanket is amazing! and I love it! I saw more BHS sweats at City County this
week. I ran the 3200m on Wednesday and didnt do so good. I got 4th with a kinda
slow time. Thursday I got 2nd in the 1600m, the 800m, and I ran the 400m
on the Medley relay that won, so the 2nd day was much better. But honestly
(bare with me while I cry a little) it is really hard to come from winning all
of my events and getting MVP of the meet to not winning, and not doing near as
good as a senior as I did as a junior. I feel like I am working harder
than I ever have and yet I am still not running quite as fast this year. I have
only raced tired untill now but I am finally doing a taper for Arcadia this
weekend. I want so badly to do really well in this meet. I am going to run
the 1600m and maybe the 800m. Hopefully it comes together and I do
well. I remember the last good race I have had in a long time, it was the
race I went to in Idaho early last Cross Country season. I ran really
good, then nose dived into a brick wall. Hopefully the brick wall
goes away because I dont think I will be truely happy with anything but a
repeat of state championships. Usually I am pretty good at not being selfish, and
I am glad Sarah is running well, but I can't pretend it doesnt totally
stink to be not improving while she is doing amazing. It kinda hurts a
little. Oh well, I am getting over it and just working harder everyday! (I
am now done pouting)
I
loved conference! Honestly, I have never been so excited for it. I always look
forward to it, but I was loving every second this time! I loved Elder Scott's
talk about temple attendance and I loved President Uchtdorf's talk on
decipleship. and I loved Kevin W Pearson's talk on faith. And I loved President
Erying's talk on adversity! And I loved Elder Holland's talk! They are some
amazing men. I loved when Pearson said, "Seen in the eyes of a great
missionary or a valiant and virtuous young woman is the ability to hold fast to
truth, the eye of faith." (that is as close the quote as I could get) I
love conference. I got the young womens personal progress
chapter for the new value virtue and the project that goes with it is reading
the book of mormon start to finish. So last week when I said I don't read every
single day, that has changed. I want to finish it by June 1.
I
emailed that Ari guy again (the real estate developer that did a huge project
in Pennsylvania) and basically asked him if he would be interested in letting
me job shadow him this summer. He sounded interested and my dad is all for it
so hopefully that happens! And even more importantly I am trying to decide what
to study in college this fall. I have thought about everything up to this
point! But i decided whatever I end up doing, I want to be able to apply it to
a humanitarian service. So whether that means organizing trips to Ghana or
going on a health orriented mission to India, or building schools in say...
Chile, I want what ever my proffesion turns out to be to be something I can
apply to serving while traveling the world! Whooo!
Those
are the biggest things on my mind this week, how about you?
I
am so glad you got Gladys baptized! I loved that picture of you with them.
I just love it! Question-- do most of the converts you have down there stay
very active?
So
how is the vocano treating you? I heard on the news that it is enormous! But so
is Chile so maybe you dont even know what I am talking about. Do
you guys watch the news down there?
My
brother gets the preisthood in about a month, cool huh? He's way excited. How
was the preisthood session? He's such a champ. He is starting spanish
next year at the Junior High and he plans to take it all through high school,
so my money is on him going on a spanish speaking mission. But that is well
down the road. My spanish is coming along! I am studying a little more lately
instead of just going to class everyday, brilliant eh? I decided that if I want
to graduate college in 4 years, or less, I better get into some good study
habits. Oh! I found my dad's old Spanish BOM and Bible today so I think I will
use that when I read and maybe a little of that
super-fast-language-learning-missionary-MTC-stuff will rub off on me and it
will help my language :)
I
hope things with Elder Puma are going even better this week. Oh, and don't
eat the "fantastic surprise" that is on its way to you in
the double plastic bag. It may seem obvious, but I thought I would let you know
that it is not the real stuff (even though you should pretend it is and be
super happpy I sent it to you) and you would get sick and DIE if you ate it! So
only eat the other stuff that is obviously etable. (Confused?
:)
I still love you and still miss you and I LOVE writing this email every week, it's my favorite!

Buenas
noche mi amor.
PS
I know the pictures are old. The curly one is from last year, as well as the
track one, but I fugured you might enjoy them a little bit since I don't have a
newer one right this second.

ok, so here i am re-writing my email. the power turned off and i
lost the whole thing, so here we go again ;)
hi bear,
how was your week? i hope that things are going well. im doing pretty well, it is VERY hot today, like freakishly warm, and because the power went off, the air conditioning did as well. so im losing some weight right now....
so in response to your question about the AP and what the responsibilities are.. im not entirely sure. they go to meetings with the president, and drive a ford ranger pick up truck. they make plans and goals of how they can help the other missionaries in the mission baptise more people. and they get more money to use each month than we do... that would be nice.. haha but thats about it, not too much different, they are just "special helpers" for the president.
your welcome for the testimony, if you want me to, i will send more spitual stuff more often. ps i never asked you what your favorite scripture is.. what is it?
did you get my pictures i sent in the last email?
im sorry that things are going super good in track right now, hopefully you´ll work out the kinks and find your high gear =)
i really enjoyed conference also. one of my favorites was elder holland´s talk on the atonement, and that we will never feel alone if we rely on the spirit. i also really enjoyed the talk that president eyring gave in the priesthood session. it was really powerful. you´ll have to read it when you get the chance. i forgot all of my notes at the house, otherwise i would tell you more of what i wrote down. i will do that next week.
yay for re committing!! i love reading the book of mormon. its so applicable in our lives. sooooo great!
this ari guy sounds really cool. i hope everything goes well with that, but whatever happens, like they said in conference, the lord puts things in our lives so that we can learn from them, whether for the good or for the bad, so whatever happens with everything you are doing, just try and learn as much as you possibly can!!
i love to hear you talk about doing humanitarian stuff, i have been thinking about that a lot lately, and readind my patriarchal blessing, and i truly feel that everything it tells me is that i will do lots of humanitarian type stuff with a medical career. i would love to share a lot of what is says with you, but i feel that over the internet wouldnt quite do it, so i suppose we will have to wait. i feel that you have been an incredible blessing in my life to keep me "true and faithful" as the blessing says, and i know that you will continue to be that example to me. i pray everyday that whatever this life throws at us, (if we are together or apart) we will be able to stay close to this gospel and close to the lord. he has so many blessings for us, we just have to live worthy to recieve them. i have seen the effects of what happens to people that fall away from the church, and 99% of the time it isnt pretty what happens. so with that in mind, strive to live each day the best that you can to be able to be blessed by the lord.. i have read and re read my patriarchal blessing a lot lately, and i want to recieve all of the blessings that the lord has in store for me in my life, and i would love to have you along side me to recieve the blessings that "the lord has in store for you and your future spouse" as it says.. for that i feel like everything we can do to better ourselves now, we should do it.. im now done preaching to you, but remember, i love you with all of my heart, and that will never change, so i am trying to keep us both inspired to love to the highest standards possible =)
i cannot even express to you the hapiness i felt when she came out of the water, my heart just about jumped out of my chest with hapiness. the scripture in d and c 18:15-16 is true. i felt truly joyful.
a lot of the converts stay active, but naturally some dont. i think about 60% stay active.. so we work a bit with less active members.
i have heard very little about the volcano... we dont watch the news...
i just know its in the south..
im glad to hear you are working on your spanish.. it will be fun to talk a little when i get back, and i would love to teach you more!! spanish is a fun language.
things actually are getting worse with elder poma. turns out he has had a lot of problems in the mission with not following his leaders and what not, and he´s just super super lame all of the time. i hope i get a new comp this cambio.. we´ll see how it goes..
im very very confused about the package, but i hope i will figure it out when i get it..
i love you more that ever, and i miss you, and you´re uplifting thoughts each week help me more that you can possibly know.
con toda mi corazon, y con todo el amor que yo poseo, estoy tuyo, tu hombre en la mision,

Hi Chase!
Sorry it's been two weeks now. I am really
excited to go to college, you know why? So I can get a laptop and have internet
always where ever I go! My 2 weeks have been good. All of our 2 wednesday track
meets have been canceled due to weather but today it is 70 and beautiful! I
think I am going to take the top off of my jeep! I can't wait! I have been
driving the 4runner because my dad brought it home from St. George last week. I
will be taking it to Boulder with me
in the fall. I can't remember if I already told you thid but I found out
that I head to school the middle of August! Practice with the team start August
17th and class starts the 24th. I
also met my roommate Shalaya. When I met her, she was wearing lime green
contacts and seemed like a way fun girl. I will be living in the
"substance free" building in the middle of campus on the 2nd floor! I
think the bathrooms are shared by an entire floor so that stinks, but it should
be super fun!
I already told you about Arcadia, I feel like I
did ok. I ran at the Logan invitational this last Saturday and it wasn't as good. I was trying to state qualify
in the 3200m, my least favorite race, and I didn't get it. I missed the mark by
12 seconds. It's quite frusturating because qualifying has never really been a
hard thing for me. If my team wasn't trying to take state again this year, I
probably wouldn't run that race. But I am going to have to and I will qualify
at the region meet. This Saturday is the Davis invite andI am running the 1600m and the 800m.
Lauren had 2 bridal showers this week! I only
got to go to one because the other was during my track meet. My mom totally
cried during the first one. I went ot get her a present at Bed Bath and Beyond
because she is registered there and holy freakin gosh. I think she registered
for the whole store. So I got her some cute kitchen stuff. Since she is getting
all new stuff for her new house, I get all the the college stuff to take with
me, whoohoo! She and Sean find out today whether an offer they put in on a
house in Cedar City goes
through. They are moving back down there to finish school.
Speaking of married couples! I don't know if I
am supposed to tell you this, and I should probably let you mom tell you but
here it goes... Bridger and Tashi???
PREGO! Ya, honeymoon baby. Hahaha, I think I would die.
Austin left last
Wednesday, and I wrote him a letter and he wrote
me back and he included a picture of him infront of the MTC, one of him flexing
and one of hime sticking his gut out. (I beleive the last 2 were inspired by
the workout pictures you sent home while you were in the MTC!) He sounds like
he is doing really well! Gavin's farewell was yesterday, he did really good on
his talk. He leaves in like 2 1/2 weeks. Oh ya! I don't think I told you that
Brandon Gilbert broke his neck skiing! How sad is that? He is ok, but I guess
where one of his vertabra broke nearly severed his vertibral artery, which
would have killed him. He was doing a back flip and caught his ski on the take
of or something like that. He just got back from his mission, so my point in
telling you this is that when you get back, remember you haven't skied for a
while :)
So have you gotten the package????
And ya, I love hearing about the spiritual
stuff!
I loved the recap of your 6 months last
week! 3 weeks till I get to talk to you! And that will be 7 months!
Yes, I got the pictures, haha, your comp is
goofy. And you look super happy!
So tomorrow I am getting my senior pictures
done. I thought for sure I would never pay to have someone take pictures of me
given how I do not like pictures of myself. But this girl from a photography
place emailed me on facebook and said that she does a free senior session
for a boy and a girl from every northern utahhighschool and she asked me to do it for
her. It might kill me, but i think it will be fun too. I will send you some!
I went to Gridelli's with your fam on the 6
month mark! We decided not to do pie, maybe next time. But i did make an
apple pie for my mother's birthday yesterday and it was sooo good!
I have to go to my next class, but I will check
back at lunch. Tell me all about your week k? Love you!

hey sweetheart,
so i just ate lunch, it was delightful haha, i had french fries and two hot dogs.. not a bad american lunch eh? so ya now i can email you..
so im not being transferred today, i have at least 6 more weeks left with poma =( but welcome to the life of a missionary... i will live, i got through these 6 weeks, so im sure i can handle 6 more no sweat haha. i will just have to dig in and muscle it out.. im good at that. but i think we should have some good success this last cambio, we´ve got quite a few people that we are working with, so we´ll see how things go, right?
im so happy that you are excited for school. its always good to have a good attitude going into things so you can handle whatever comes your way. plus you´re gonna have a blast! i just wish i was there to enjoy it all with you. but since im not, i will just cheer from here ;)
you will be just fine with track, it sounds like you are starting to shave some time off, and you´ll finish the season really well!!!!
its so crazy to me how the time is passing so quickly. i cant believe that lauren is so close to the wedding.. it feels like it was yesterday that you told me they are getting married, and it will feel like tomorrow when they get married.. im truly excited/happy for them. it will be fun to hear about what they are up to and what not. i hope they can get the house they want.
yeah so bridger and tash.... haha i would probably throw up hahahaha. but everything happens for a reason right?? they´ll be fine. im sure they weren´t planning on it, but haha stuff happens haha. i just dont know what quite to say, congratulations or im sorry?? haha it just makes me laugh and laugh!!!
im sooooooooooooooooo happy that newbie is in the mission!!!!! that is the coolest ever!! i thought he wouldnt make it out, but turns out that is the easy part, now he has to stick it out through the truly hard stuff. im sure he can do it. he sent me his email, so i will be able to keep tabs on him! im excited for gavin too. i was reading your book the other day, and i think we truly do owe him something....
wow i didnt hear about brandon, that is no fun.. i will deffinitly be sure to practice lots before i do lots of stupid stuff again.. haha it scares me to remember when i broke my elbow, because i remember waking up and the doctor was talking to my dad and told him that if i didnt have my helmet on i would have for sure died because of the way i hit.. kinda scary, but thats why i wear a helmet right? thats also why i tell you to get one too =) i just love you way too much!!!!
ya so i havent gotten the oackage yet, but they tell me its coming on wednesday!!!!!!!!! im holding out, and im sooooo excited!!! i just love packages!!!
see what i mean when i say the time goes fast?? i will be talking to you before you know it!! that is so exciting to me!!!!!!!!!! i miss your voice, and the tapes almost dont do much; i mean its great to hear voices and everything, but its wierd just talking to a box....
my comp is way wierd... i cant even explain it. its that wierd. i always thought i could figure it out, but i havent. maybe that´s why i have another cambio with him..?
i am also very excited for your senior pictures!! haha you sound petrified, and i can kind of hear you telling me about it.. just pretend im standing right there with you so we can "sufer" through it together haha. i cant wait to see them. i know they will be stunning..
my mommy told me about gridelli´s, i miss that place oh so much... haha but im glad you can still enjoy it =)
will you make me a pie when i get home? i´ll cook dinner.. ya???? it will be very romantic!!
haha so this week was ok.. kinda short. i went on a mini cambio with elder atkinson, and we just layed awake and talked and laughed all night, and then we worked together in his sector. he´s way cool, so that gave me some spunk for the week.. then i just worked my sector with poma, and thats kind of a hell in comparrison to atkinson, but im used to the heat haha.
yesterday we had a baptism, we baptised the mom of the fimily herrera. it was cool..
i am speaking again in church on sunday, i´ll let you know how it goes. i get to talk on how christ showed us the example of how to love others.. i have like 9 million scriptures!! i love the scriptures, they´re so cool!!!
thats basically all i have. i love your guts, and i miss you like crazy.. i cant wait to hear from you next week. i live for your emails.
thank you for everything.
i love you forever and ever,

Hi Chase!
So I ran at the Davis Invitational on
Saturday and ran pretty good! I did 5:12 in the 1600m and 2:18 in the 800M, the season bests. (Besides the 5:11 at Arcadia but that was lower elevation) So I was way
excited about that! I have the BYU Invite this Saturday so hopefully that goes even better! Then next week I
have region and the week after is state! I can't believe my high school running
days are almost over!
I am going to continue to write another email
but I am sending this one now so you can know I am online and write me back!
Monday, April
27, 2009 11:31 AM
So did you get the package yet? I hope so. Let
me know what you think when you get it!
On Saturday night my sisters and I threw a
bridal shower for London then Sunday we had a family party with my mom's sid
eof the family. The more I hang out with them, the more I like them but they
are still super wierd! London and Bryant get married next Monday and they are
having an 'Open House' this Saturday, before they get married, rather than a
reception. I don't get the difference but whatever. They are having it at
Grandpa Merrill's house then getting married in the Salt Lake temple. Then they
are moving to Virginia to sell waste management systems! How fun does that
sound! Haha, they have very little restraint about how touchy feely they are in
front of the whole family. Grandpa and Joany were totally weirded out by they
fact that they can't stop touching each other. It's ok, they love Lauren and
Sean. Laur moved home on Friday!!!! I love her being home. I only get her for
less than another month, but it's good to have her around more. She brought
home all of her college stuff but she is getting everything she could ever
want totally new so I get all of her college stuff! I am going to
have to see what my dorm will be like at CU cause the only dorm I saw while I
was there was TINY and Lauren had more of an apartment style dorm, so I might
not need much of her stuff cause I might not fit in my room! Laur and Sean put
money down on a house in Cedar City! I am way happy for them, Sean is soooo
much better than Bryant.
Yard work has gone into full swing at my house.
There are painters repainting everything that is white on my house. One was
creepily outside my window this morning when I woke up! Then my mom is
redoing the outside of the poolhouse completely. We have a crew of men in our
yard everyday doing the dirt work. I am so excited for the wedding cause
then the bulk of the yard work will be completely done for the rest of summer!
I am currently not helping a ton in the yard because i am getting ready to take 2 AP tests. Statistics and Language. I am way nervous because I have to get a 4 or 5 on both for them to give my any credit at CU. Last year I got a 3 on both the US History one and Calculus and CU doesn't take 3's so that's a bummer. As soon as I am done with these tests, I have to start figuring out how much college credit I have and get it all transfered to CU. I think the next month is going to go by soooo fast for me because of graduation, wedding stuff, and track all ending!

I think the next month is going to go by soooo fast for me because of graduation, wedding stuff, and track all ending!
Avery starts track this week, and the season is
like 2 weeks long, but I think she will kick butt! Zach's birthday was on the
23rd so he is 12 now and he gets the priesthood on May 3rd! He's is way
excited. He is so cute! and such a little he-man. And my dog isn't fat any
more! He started having seizures a while ago and then he had a tumor on his
back so we had to put him on a diet and some medicine and now he is fine! Haha,
high maintinance dog.
So, my favorite scripture.... It has been
Helamen 5:12 forever, but I think it might change as here soon, maybe I don't
know. I am done with 1 Nephi! I am going alot slower than I initially thought i
would because I have decided that getting through the book isn't nearly as
important as letting the book get through you. So I am trying to figure out the
last couple chapters that are from Isaiah right now.
So how are you? Tell me all about your
week! I miss you! But I get to talk to you in 2 weeks! Can't wait!
Love Chloe
PS I got through brickbraker one whole time!
19050 is my high score. Haha, it has lost it's luster for me though.

Dear Chase
So London and Bryants 'open house' was Saturday at Grandpa
Merrill's house. I was not a reception it was an 'open house' because they weren't
married yet and it was more 'low key' than 'normal' weddings. It has gotten
kind of annoying how they compare their wedding to a normal wedding, obviously
reffering to Lauren and Sean's, but not a big deal. I got there at 7 and it
went from 5:30 to 7, but
naturally it went long and people didn't leave until about 8:30. I was late because I had the BYU invitaional... I
don't want to talk about it. Ok fine. I ran much slower than I did at Davis so
I was very disappointed. Region is this week at Morgan on
Wednesday and Thursday so I hope that goes
really good because it's the last pratice before state. Wish me luck!
I am not going to school tomorrow because I
will be in Salt Lake all day
babysitting all of the small children that belong to those people who will be
inside the temple London and Bryant's wedding. Lauren and Ave and Zach will be
there too so it will be ok. I have an AP test on Tuesday and I am freaking out because I don't get any college
credit unless I get at least a 4. My two 3's from last year don't count
:( And all of this wedding junk has made it very difficult to study. I am
way nervous!
Zach got the preisthood today! It was sooo
great. Laur bore her testimony in church and it started out somethinglike
this..."Today is monumental day in the Calton family because we are all here for all 3
meetings!" Which is true, it has been a while since the whole clan was
together for the whole 3 hours. Sean and Grandpa and Joan were there too. Sean
pretty much lives here on the weekends. It's way fun to have Sean and Laur
around so much. Then Lauren made me cry like a baby then we all cried more when
my dad gave Zach his blessing. The spirit was definitely present.
I SAW LIGHTNING TODAY!!! I was at a meeting for
my powell trip but I stopped listening because I was counting the seconds
between lightning. For awhile it was like every 8 seconds! I loooove summer
storms! Is the weather crazy cold down there yet?
Accolade is this weekend, super fun! I was
going to go in a big group with all of the seniors but It turns out that Alydia
turns 40 on Saturday and Brad
is throwing a hugew surprise party for her and wants Sarah, Franco, and I to
attend so it is very convenient that I am taking Franco and Sarah is taking
Jacob, her son. So we will be going to dinner there, in prom dresses and
tuxedos, and then there is going to be 'open mic' where Brad wants me to say
something and I will probably cry like a baby. At first I was a little sad that
I couldn't go with the big group but I figure Alydia gives more time to me than
anyone except probably my own mother so I owe her big time. What should I get
her? But now I am excited, I think it will be fun.
Avery isn't doing Hershey, just Mt.Ogden track. Then she starts traiing with
the high school cross country team! I will get to train with her a little bit
this summer! I am way excited. Zach will probably do hershey this year and I
think I am going to help coach! Zach is still pretty little. I hope so badly
that he grows. I just don't want him to be embarrased of his size ever. But
honestly, he is the sweetest little guy ever and he is such a good boy, he will
be fine no matter how big or small he is, but I still hope he ends up taller
than me, which I am sure he will.
Sick? Oh no. Havew you heard about the swine
flu? Ya, it started in Mexico and now
it is in the US. I kid died from it in Texas and it has made it into Utah. There are 3 cases in Park City so school and resturants and stuff are all canceled.
Like prom, graduation, soccer finals for boys. I don't know how that works
because the PC boys are ranked like 3rd in state and are definitely in the play
offs. But no PC kids were allowd to complete and the BYU invite or any othe
highschool activity at all. Sad huh? I was sick this week too! i had a nasty
cough and I randomly had allegies for a few days which never happenes to me. I
might get glasses this week! I am was stoked because I never take my contacts
out because I am blind without them but it is bad for my eyes.
I am so glad that things are getting better
with Poma. Keep me updated on that and everything else you do!
Hey, I love your guts and I miss you everyday.
My family misses you too. Keep doing what you do. And I cannot wait to talk to
you on Sunday!!!!!! My heart races just thinking about it ;) I love
you
Jo
PS the pictures are at a couple different
wedding showers. The ones where I am in yellow are at the shower that was for
Lauren at London's house and the only where I am in grey being dressed in
toilet paper are at my house for London's shower. (We played a game where you
have 5 minutes to make a toilet paper wedding dress and the bride picks the
winner. The little girl in the middle won of course) The first one is me with
Annie, my dad's special sister :) I was helping her do a "How well do you know
the bride?" quiz.

Chase~
I am sooo glad that I got to talk to you
yesterday! The longest stretch is from now untill Christmas, 7more months!
But when you think about it, that will go by so fast because summer always goes
by soo fast, then it will be the one year mark, then it will be Christmas!
After I left your house yesterday, it seemed almost not real that I had just
talked to you. Then I sort of had a melt down so I slept in your shirt last
night and listened to Free Fallin like 5 times. Haha, don't think I am creepy!
Today my family is going to visit my grandma's
grave and we are going to make her apple pie recipe and have a picnic! I feel
really sad when I think about when I am old like my dad and my mom might not be
around you know?
My dad bought my mom this beautiful painting
for our house and gave it to her yesterday. It is of a cafe in Italy so now we are thinking about going to Italy! Whoohoo!
We are also going to climb the Teton this summer! I made it half way when I was
12 but a lightning storm kicked us off early. And I think I am going to get
into mountain biking this summer so I can have quads of steel when I get to run
in Boulder. And I think I am
going ski diving this summer! We can go when you get home too :)
I have to go address graduation announcments,
fun huh? Almost as bad as thank you notes :) Good luck with all of your
investigators! Tell all of your missionary friends hi, and I can't wait to talk
to you again!
Love Chloe
PS I get my 7th rose this
friday!
By next week, we will have had our senior
testimony meeting, seminary graduation, and scholarship assembly! I love end of
the year activities! Especially when it really is the true end. Weird!

it is kinda sad sometimes to think about when people just arent there anymore.. but thats all part of this big plan that we are a part of.. we just have to try and love every second of it.
i cant tell you how jealous i will be if you go to italy. that would be soooo fun!! you truly are just my adventure girl. i love it! you always have something new going on, and that is always fun..
good old graduation announcements haha.. love it.

MY GIRLS DID IT! WE WON AND IT WAS THE MOST
AMAZING THING EVER! We beat Cedar City by .5! Ya,
half of one point! It was the funnest thing ever! It beat my individual titles
for sure! I ended up getting 2nd in the 1600m to Sarah and 2nd in the 800m to
some nasty Cedar girl. (She wasn't nasty, I am just very bitter. She and I were
neck and neck with 100 to go and she just happens to be a 100 200 400 runner as
well so I didn't have much of a chance at out kicking her, oh well, I was happy
with the way I raced) and I anchored the Medley and we won! Back to Back
champs! And I also anchored the 4x400 and that took 5th. Our team ended up with
106.5 and Cedar had 106! After the 4x400 we were all just waiting around to
find out if we had won or not. I was freaking out because If we had lost I
would have been upset about not doing better in the 4x400. We ran 4:10 which is 5 seconds faster than we had done before but
the feild was just rediculously good. We knew it would either be a half point
win or half point loss, we just didn't know which. So me and about half of the
girls were waiting by the results for 10 agonizing minutes when a Cedar coach
came up and said, "You got it." We said "What?" He said,
"You won by half a point." We all just looked at each other and
paused in silence then we all screamed and started jumping around and hugging
and it was soooo fun! Then we ran over to the rest of the team that was on the
east side of the track so we are all running in front of all these other teams
and they are all looking at us like what the heck are they so happy about?
Haha, it was sooooo awesome! We dumped a cooler of water on Colonel and I have
never seen him so happy! He has waited for this for ever! We have taken 2nd or
3rd for 5 years in a row and the ogden girls havn't won a state title in track
for 26 years so it was a very sweet victory! We got our trophy and took a
victory lap as a team and took pictures and what not so i will have to send you
some! Then the Ogden police
called Alydia and said they wanted to escort us into town so we met them at
Albertsons and had 2 cops in front of our decked out tiger van and we cramed in
there and partied all the way to my school and cars were pulling over and
waving and honking and then there was a group of people waiting for us at the
school. It was seriously one of the greatest feelings ever.
Well, Cross country starts today! I am going to
go run now because I want to get an edge on the competition! My goal this fall
is to make it the NCAA meet and run varsity. (I may get toColorado and find out that that isn't a realistc goal but I am
going to work my butt off this summer to make it happen.)
I graduated from seminary yesterday, that was
good. This week in full of senior activities so that should be fun. Tell me all
about your week k? I hope you aren't sick any more! Oh, and because I was at
state track over the weekend, I don't have my 7th rose yet, but I will go get
it today.
Love you
Chloe

Franco only ran the 400m and the 800m. He got
2nd in the 400 and in the 800m. The hamstring injury he got last
year during track has not completely gone away and kept flaring up. He had to
tak e3 weeks off right before state and couldn't even run at region. So he
didn't do the 100 or 200 because he was worried about the faster races making
the problem worse. I ran 5:12 in the mile
and got 2nd. I ran 2:18 in the
800m and got second by less than one second. And our 4x400 ran 4:10 which was decent and the medley ran 4:17. Ya, Colonel was freakin out.
So this whole week has been killer. Sunday zach
passed the sacrament! and I graduated seminary. Thursday was the senior
yearbook luau. Friday was graduation and the all night party. I went to
bed at 5 and slept till 2. Ya, I felt like a total sloth. Wednesday
was senior sluff day and I got a nice little sunburn at the dam.
Tuesday American Idol ended and Chris Allen won. That means
nothing to you, but he is fantastic! Me and Avery were pretty into
it this year. Monday I went on a wicked bike ride with my dad. I am
going to add two bike rides per week to my training mostly just to
hang out with my dad, but also for quads of steel.
Anyway, graduation was fun. Moslty really
really hot, but it was weird to be wearing the gown you know? It's been fun,
but I am glad it is over. I am going to Taylor swift with your sister on
Tuesday and I am soooo excited! And I have
a track banquet and tons of yard work to do. Just keeping super busy! Oh, I
also got my rose finally :)
So, when are transfers and what not? How often
do you do those? Tell me about your investigators! Oh, I am going to get Franco
to come to church with me! I figure I better get pracitced if I am going to
convert Shaylaya and everyone else in Boulder right?
Have a good week and be sure to tell me all
about what you are doing!
Love Chloe

i feel bad for franco, he is so good. hopefully he can get good again for college. your times sound good. just keep working on it, and you´ll be where you want to be by next season =)
wow zach is old too!! crazy. i remember my last week of school, it was way fun. just a lot of playing around.
i would love to go on a nice mountain biking ride. walking like 15 to 20 miles a day just isnt quite doin it for me haha..
i hope you and megs have lots of fun at taylor swift.
so we have cambios on the 2nd. we have them every 6 weeks. generally a person will stay in their sector for 4 cambios(6 months). im pretty sure im outta here.
we are going to have 3 baptisms this week. so it will be a great way to finish out this cambio. those are like the only people that are really progressing.
im glad to hear that franco is gonna go to church. it would be way cool if he would accept the gospel in his life. you´re most definitly going to convert everyone inboulder. i have faith in you.

Chase- I miss saying your name to your face.
Like, saying Chase to get your attention or talk right to you. sniff sniff
I am going to Lake Powell at about 5 am on
Friday (so like a few days ago by the time you get this) so I am sending the
email early! Last night was sooo soo soo fun at the Taylor Swift concert! Meg
and I had a blast! Avery was there too, with my cousins. During the concert
Taylor walked down the stairs right past Avery and everyone was touching her
and gettting autographs and Avery got a hug! She was so excited, it was
darling. Meg and I were on the other side of the arena so ave texted me with
like 1000 !!!!! and it was cute. Taylor was a really good performer! She is
very dramatic and theatrical but it made it fun to watch. Me and megan sang
every song and related each one to something in one of our lives, I loved it!
We then laughed our heads off all the way home, she is my favorite!
Today was the track banquet, so stressful!!!
But it was fun to have a last play time with the girls. Tomorrow Maray( who I
call Ray, which I think is cute. I have turned into one silable person) Lauren
Crocket (Ya, we are friends) Sarah Callister and I are going to Sandy to buy
swimsuits. Ya, we are driving an hour to buy swimsuits because that is the only
place to do it with out ordering them and I dont really have time to order them
plus, I ordered one last week and when it came it looked totally different in
the back than I thought it would. Anyway, shopping drama.
Lauren and my dad just left for New York! like 5 minutes ago. My dad wants her to himself for a few days before she gets hitched so they will be back on Sunday I think. ( today is Wednesday night.) Then I won't be back till next friday and then the next day she goes to the temple to be endowed. (Later that day she has a bachelorette party, convenient!) and then there is one week to the wedding, ahhhh! I am so excited! Sean sometimes spends the weekends up here so he can help get stuff done for the big day and see Lauren. During the week he lives with his uncle in Pason where he works. But since he has been here so much, he has really started to seem more like my brother. He's pretty great, and he treats La so good, I am really happy for them both. Except I am sad they are going to live in Cedar cause I will never see them, but hopefully they visit home the same weekends I do.
Lauren and my dad just left for New York! like 5 minutes ago. My dad wants her to himself for a few days before she gets hitched so they will be back on Sunday I think. ( today is Wednesday night.) Then I won't be back till next friday and then the next day she goes to the temple to be endowed. (Later that day she has a bachelorette party, convenient!) and then there is one week to the wedding, ahhhh! I am so excited!

YAY for 3 Baptisms! Well done Elder Reynolds! I
just watched the video you sent home for my graduation. Thank you very very
much! I loved the whole thing. Your comps seem way cool and nice. I liked what
you said about thinking about life more as a whole. I think we are both growing
up a lot. I think my priorites have done a lot of switching around in the last
couple months. I work a lot and try to be more organized. Even more than that,
I think of myself as an adult because I don't want to be the kid who goes to college
that is really stuck in the high school mind set. I think I
treat people better too. Not that I didn't treat people well before,
but I am a little less sarcastic and I try to show genuine concern for
people more. I hope I don't sound boring, I am totally the same, just new and
improved! Like today for instance-- I worked out, worked in the yard, got
coaches gifts ready, went to the banquet and still had time to take my
little sister and her 2 friends on a jeep ride to get ice cream! It was a good
day.
So you will have been transfered by the time I
check my email again on the 5th, I think. I hope you like where you go
and who you are with! Good luck with the move! I am sending you somthing great
in teh mail tomorrow, I cant wait! You will love them, I loved them when I
found them :) You will have to let me know when in arrives. BTW I haven't
gotten anything pink in the mail, so it will probably get here while I am in
Powell. I am way excited!
So my friend Karly Hansen is getting married on
Friday but here reception is tomorrow night. I don't even know if she is 18
yet. She just graduated and apparently she has been planning on marrying this
guy for almost a year. He is an RM so that's good, but they started dating when
she was a junior. I thought high school girls were off limits to RMs? Maybe I
am wrong, but it seems a little sketchy for a 22 year old to even mention the M
word to a girl who has a year left in high school. Anyway, I am goiing to her
wedding tomorrow and I can't wait because it's the first wedding of my friends
you know? I was invited to her shower and I wanted to go but I forgot! How
lame! It's because I didn't put it in my phone. I live for the blackberry
calender. We have never actually hung out, but we are school friends. Her older
sister got married about 1 month after she graduated so I guess it runs in the
family. I think it would be sort of sad to skip the
not-in-high-school-but-still-single stage you know? I think high school is a
huge growing up period, but I garuantee that the years between high school and
moving out/college are an even bigger jump.
So I am wicked excited for the perks of
graduating, namely dinero. My grandparents already did the good deed and
holy heavens to betsy I have never seen so much money at one time in
my name. It's lovely! You know how that is. Thank you notes are
on my to do list tomorrow, haha, I love thank you notes! Also, My
padre's gift to and every other child when we enter college is a laptop. I
told him I wanted a Mac and he seemed ok with it, WHOOHOO! Can't
wait! Plus, I think I might get it early because if I get it through weber
state before the 16th I get a discount and that's always a plus.
So my daddy said he had a surprise for me on
Sunday. He said he had a "special errand" he needed to take me on
Tuesday. Well due to the Taylor Swift concert and him working a
little late, we couldn't go, but he still won't tell me what it is
and now I have to wait for almost 2 weeks! I wonder what it is?
I asked him if it had to do with the wedding and he said "kind
of." KIND OF? What kind of answer is kind of?? Its killing me if
you can't tell :)
So memorial day was uneventful, do they have
that in Chile? I assume not. We did 9 hours of yard work. yes 9. The left
side of my back wished you were home soo bad because it needed
messaging muy mucho. As do my hands. Yard work is kickin my
hands butts. I have learned to never go without gloves no matter what. I
loved that picture you sent me of you leaning on the shovel, it was cute. Some the people
we have helping us with our yard are kind of ... not lazy, they just don't
hussle at all. I mean, I have twice the hussle these guys have and I am an
18 year old girl. These guys are 21-22 year old RMs who supposedly know
how to work. The work they do helps, but it sort of makes my dad
mad that they do a job in 30 minutes that he could do in 5
and yet he still has to pay them hourly. My dad keeps telling me
that he is impressed with how hard I work. Not to brag of course, but if
there is anyone in the world that I care to tell me that they are impressed
with how hard I work, it's my dad. It feels awesome to get that kind of
approval from my father who is the hardest worker I know.
So, I am going to throw out some guesses and
we can have a bet on what it is that he is going to surprise me with. 1-
Laptop shopping 2- Some form of jewelry 3-....I want to
say possibly car shopping but I pretty much 100% doubt that one
because then the 4runner would serve no purpose until next september when Avery
drives. As will the jeep, unless he sells it which he has said he
might do, but i think Avery would die. She
wants to drive that thing so bad. Honestly, if it were car shopping,
I would look and then decide to wait because I would rather beat the 4runner to
a pulp, then get a new one! Haha, I feel like I sound like a
brat. Sorry, just talking :)
Ok, I think I have written a novel and I think
I am done. Honestly, completely honestly, do I tell you too much? Like, do
I make you homesick or make you think about worldly stuff to
much? In this email, or even on a consistant basis?
Have a good week, a great transfer, and a
fantastic... lunch. Yes, go have something delicious for lunch :) I love
you and miss you and wish I could be there to make you lunch.

im glad you enjoyed the video. i felt way awkward filming it.. i was just staring at it like hmmmmm haha. i almost put a picture of you next to it so that i could feel like i was atually talking to you, but i didnt.
i agree though, i feel that i have grown up a ton too. i havent changed ME, but i have changed my actions and thought process a little. im not as selfish as i was i think.
i was just readind, and you truly are so cute!! haha you just make me smile. i love that you are such an awesome big sister. dont let that change. the relationship you have with your siblings is way too important to ever let anything get in the way.

im way excited for whatever you sent, i will probably get it a week from this wednesday.
i hope that the letter i sent gets there soon. im pretty sure its a good one=)
thats way wierd that your friend is getting married. i still havent heard of any of my friends from my school that sre getting married, but im sure i will feel really wierd when i hear of people getting married. but i guess thats what happens when people grow up, they get married.. i will just try to get used to it..
im kinda jealous that you got a bunch of cash.. i didnt get all that much actually. well i think i did, it all just went to the mission.. enjoy the cash though. its always way nice when there is extra cash =)
i am stoked for your "special errand" that you get to run with your dad.. keep me posted on what it is..
9 hours of yard work... wow! i would not enjoy that very much... i remember doing like 8 all the time, but the hour bump up to 9 would probably do me in hahaha. just kidding. it makes my back hurt just hearing about it!!! and you know i would love love love to give you a massage, however, i wont be able to do that for a little while, so just run to a massage place there close to home, and they´ll treat you really well.. i miss your hand massages more than anything on earth!! i will look forward to those =)
im also sorry to hear that the workers there arent workin very hard.. tell your dad i´ll work for him again when i get home if he wants me to. i promise to work hard.

I would love to go to NY sometime! I have only been there once, and I loved it,
but I has really young. I don't remember so much.
The movie wasn't awkward at all from my end,
but i can imagine how it might feel to be on your end, talking to a box that
doesn't talk back.
La did send you an announcment, hopefully you
will get it soon. Did you get the little something I sent you yet?? I think you
will like it.
So lake powell was a blast! I really had a fun time. I was there with
Lizzy, London, Danielle, Hailey,
Ben, Ethan, Jeff, Mason, Izzy, and Nate for the first 5 days then they went
home and Danielle and I stayed for 2 more days with 29 other kids on a
different boat. It was basically everyone and their dog. I won't lie, the first
group was way more chill and fun, but the second boat was fun to hang out with
sarah and hunter and all the other friends. I think a whole week is a little
too long though. I got really sick of being around way too many people. PS Jeff
and Ethan crashed 2 of Pierce's 3 waverunners and there is drama about the
blame and who will be paying for them. I don't know much about it, but it
sounds like a really fun time :) The boys head to Mexico tonight, so I don't know how it turned out. While we
were there I got pretty good at skiing. I learned when I was 3 so It cam back
pretty good. I also wakeboarded, wake skated, surfed and tubed! But Skiing is
my fav. I wanted to get some cool pics but my camera broke while I was down
there so hopefully I get that one figured out.
So La has one more shower on
wednesday then she gets hitched. She went
through the temple for the first time on Saturday so she wears garments now. Wierd!
Today some of the girls in my ward had a fast
for Alison Story to make the right decision about what to do with her baby.
Apparently she is still in love with Darren so she might keep it which sounds
like a pretty sad ending to me. Sad huh? I feel soo bad for her and her family.
Anyway, pray for her when you can. I am trying to get her to come to youth
conference with me in a couple weeks but I don't know if she will. Youth
conference is atSnow College this year and
it is like 3 days of efy so they are having some of us be councilors so I
really hopes she comes, it would be way good for her.
I got your letter and loved it! I am so glad to
see pink! I came home to a pink envelope waiting for me on my dresser when I
got back from powell and it was such a happy homecoming! PS I am wicked tan. I
am more tan than Lauren! I didn't even burn! Jealous? :) But in addition to the
tan, I have some gnarly poisen ivy. Ya, it bites. It is really bad on my
right forearm and then it is all over my legs so they itch crazy bad. Its all
good though cause I am on some drugs now, but it just about killed lake powell.
But my mom sent down meds with some people who came later. But the stuff on my
arm is so bad it looks like it might scar. I will send you pictures :)
So I still don't know what the surprise
from my dad is. I will let you know as soon as it happens.
Zach had a track meet on
Monday and he won the 800 and got 2nd in
the 400m. Probably because of his bomb coach ;) Tomorrow I help coach the Ogden track club so that should be super fun with a ton
of tiny tots running about. Speaking of tiny tots, did you know Nate
Ogden?? And Megan Lane??? (Emily Lane's older sister) Well she got
prego and so they got married and their baby boy was born on friday
morning. His name is Nash. Cute.
I miss you! Tell me all about your new
area and what not. You'll have a new comp now right? Fill me in!
Love Chloe

hello darling,
im glad you approve of the new york trip. i think about it lots. i think its because i just really would LOVE to be in a city bigger than 10,000 people. now im in a place of about 5,000. i´ll work it though =)
im way excited to get that invitation. but im even more excited to get your package. i LOVE getting packages! i should get it on friday i think at our conference..
sounds like lake powell was fun, it wouldnt be the same if there wasnt some drama(the waverunners). haha was there any other drama? i know when our senior class went, like everyone was randomly hooking up with everyone, and there were fights and junk. REALLY glad i didt go with them.. im way too tranquile(?) in spanish its tranquilo.....
the poison ivy im sure bites. i had it like twice in my whole life, and i remember wanting to die both times haha..
holy smokes they get married this week!?!?!?! i remember when you sent me the email that said they were ingaged. i swear that was like two weeks ago.. thats stinkin cool though haha
i still feel way bad for ally. it sucks that that mistake had to happen. i think everyone kinda knew that relationship was just asking for problems.. hopefully she will wake up and make a grown up choice.
that WAY sucks about megan. i had absolutely no idea.. it makes me sick in my stomache to think about it. it didnt seem like many people were making that mistake for a while and now a lot of people that i know have screwed up. it makes me want to cry for them because i have seen SO MANY people here that have made the same mistake and the husband never ever ever stays with them..(did megan get married first, or did she get prego before?) i hope i just misunderstood.. but i still feel bad for people that mess around before being married, because they will lose that trust forever.. sad.
im way happy you got the letter. a lot of love and care went into that ;)
im excited for your surprise from dad. and i have no idea what could possibly be happening, and im still excited haha.
have fun coaching!!! i would have so much stinking fun with that haha.
tell zach congrats for me =)
ya so i got transfered to a place called bulnes. elder tanner is my comp. we actually aren´t opening a sector. i was badly misinformed. he already has 4 and a half months here haha. he will have one year in the mission on thursday. so he´s just a young guy too. he´s way tall. we are gonna have lots of success here i think. we are working really really hard to finally turn things around here in this crazy place. they have had 8 baptisms in the last year.. and since january they have only had 2........ so i think they have us here to do what we did in linares......baptize..... so we´ll just put in practice what i did in linares and hopefully it works =)
i will send a picture of us in another email.
i love your guts!!!!!

Chase,
Have you gotten the little thing i sent you? or the wedding
announcement? I hope so because there are some great pictures!
Yes, there was a little bit of girl fighting,
not literally, just back biting and what not. Not that the is any better i
guess. There is a group of girls in my class that are just dramatic and whiny
and high maintenance, not to mention that they were mad that Danielle and I got
to be down for a whole week while everyone else was there for 5 days. Ya, it
was ridiculous. So I mostly hung out with hunter and a couple other people to
avoid the drama. But it really was fun for the most part.
So the wedding was truly amazing. They were
sealed at noon at the Bountiful temple. Pictures followed till about 2:30. Then we all drove back to our house for a Luncheon
for the 96 people that were at the temple. (Mostly family). After lunch,
Everyone went down to the yard where we had chairs set up facing the hill and
we played "Goin to the chapel" As My dad walked Laur down the grass
path. Then a bishop friend of ours did something similar to a sealing, minus
the temple and they exchanged rings. The bride and groom and best man and Father
of the bride all said a quick something. Then the reception began. We had a
live band with a couple acoustic guitars and a vocalist. She used to be our
voiceand piano teacher. We had a photo booth that people would take 4 pictures
then it would print 2 copies; one for the guest to take home and one to go in
the guest book that they would write a note next to. That was a major hit,
everyone loved it. The food was delicious and so was the cake, except the cake
was soooo ugly! It was so sad. It was the only thing about the day that wasn't
perfect. It was supposed to be tan with white and blue decor, but it was pink!
And it was cracking and breaking and the decorations were falling off. But we
cut the cake kinda early so they could serve it, plus Laur doesn't really care
about dumb stuff like the cake. So it wasn't too big a deal. There were
pictures everywhere of Laur and Sean and they were so pretty! They had a video
too. And they put my moms dress on display along with Laur's baptism and
blessing dress and that "3 white dresses" poem. The also had pictures
of my grandmas and great grandma and mom in their wedding dresses so that was
cool. We decorated with chandeliers hanging from trees, ya, awesome! It was so
so cool! Then we decorated their car and they headed to Park
City for the night and then Saturday
night they flew to Dominican
Republic for a week. I haven't talked to
her because the left both cell phones home, for good reason. So the wedding was
perfect!
Then on Saturday I was talking to my dad about college and what I will
need to take with me and we talked about laptops and we ended up taking a
family Salt Lake trip to the
apple store and he got me a laptop! I am typing on it right now and it is so so
so so my favorite new toy!! It is way nice. I need to get all of my pictures
and music transfered so when I get that done I will be all set and I can send
you pictures of the wedding and stuff.
Running is going really good! I feel like I am
out of my slump I was in. On Wednesday I
ran 9 miles at a 6:35 mile
pace! It was really hard but it was awesome! I talked to Alydia about a
reasonable goal for this fall and she agreed with my goal to be on the Varsity
team and help get our team to NCAA Championships. Whoohoo!
Yesterday was Jon Greiner's homecoming, he got
home Thursday. Lizzy is on cloud 9! Emily and I are totally jealous, but happy
for her too. We had a bachelorette party for her on Wednesday night that was way fun. Speaking of coming home! You are 8
months out today! Congratulations! 1/3 done! I am going to play with Megan at
some point today so I can get my rose. The time is starting to fly!
I go to Youth Conference this
wednesday to Friday, so that should be fun. I
convinced Ali to go with me. Today is her birthday so I am trying to plan a surprise
party. I really really hope she gets away from Darren. I heard that they might
get married and keep the baby and he would go into the army. Sounds like a
fairy tale huh? Sad. Megan Lane Ogden got married after she got pregnant. Her baby's name is Nash, and he is
darling.
Who is your friends that is in Vina Del Mar?
Because Chase Halversons companion knows you and kinda knows me. Is it Skyler
King? Anyway, I will find out who it is.
How is Elder Tanner? Do you like him? Are you
getting used to the new area? I hope so!
I hope you have a good week. I love you and I
miss you and want to hear how you are doing!
PS Carson Campbell's farewell is next week and he is going to Argentina. He says he will only be about 5 hours from Santiago. Jeff is waiting for his call now, and Izzy is
finishing his papers this week. Cool huh?

thank you so much for those pictures! i laughed pretty hard haha. and im way glad to have them. i have a request if i may: you know the picture you gave me when you gave me that journal of you and me on the bus from acolade 2 years ago? i have it like itty bitty, i was wondering if you still have it, if you could send me a 5X7 of it? that would make my day!!! i LOVE that picture.
i also got the wedding invitation. it made me smile.
again, im glad that everything in powell turned out ok haha
im just trying to picture the wedding all playing out in my mind, and it is gorgeous. haha my mommy sent me ome pictures, and the whole thing looks incredible!
im trying to picture the look on mom´s face when the cake got there. HAHAHAHAHAHA i have seen the look a few times, and it kinda scares me haha. did they give you your money back for te cake? that would make me mad.. but it sounds like everything else turned out good. im way way happy for them!! please send them my congratulations. i will probably write them a letter too..
im excited for your new laptop! sounds cool!! i hope that means i will get lots of pictures!!!
i dont think i could run 9 miles period. let alone at 6:35 pace. it makes my legs hurt just thinking about it. im way proud of you. you know that already, but i truly am way proud that you haven´t let the llittle hick ups hold you back. you just push through and come out progressing even more!! thats my girl ;)
WOW. thats wierd that john is home. now they are gonna get married. she could have a kid by the time i get home. EWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! that scares me so bad! its just wierd that now people are really starting to seem grown up to me. i still picture lizzy as a junior in high school haha.

Chase!!! Here is my week...
So, I went to Youth conference down at Snow
College and it was way fun. There was a cool ropes course and like a multi
stake group dance thing that was actually a total blast! The graduated
kids that were councilors kinda ran the show. The dance was kinda dead when we
got there but we totally turned it around and got like 400 kids dancing. It was
awesome.
On Friday, I got home from youth
conference and a few hours later my dad flew Zach, Avery and I to Modesto
California. We were only there till Sunday
morning. Avery is still there playing in a soccer tournament. We got to
see one game and she played so so good, she is a talented little girl. That
girl from Bonneville that got MVP all state as a sophomore, Jayden Thornock,
Avery is going to show up. Serious, Avery is good. BHS and OHS are in the same
region this year so we will wait and see. I am just sad I won't get to see her
play that often. And Avery is going to dominate XC. Kesley Braithwate who
won the 3200 in 4A at state this year is scared out of her mind for Avery to
come up because Avery smoked her in the mile last year at Hershey. I am so so stoked for Ave!
I couldn't hook up with your family before I
headed to youth conference and Cali so I still don't have the rose but I hope
they have the picture CD now so I can get both.
Running is still going good, except I have
tendinitis in my right hip, knee and foot. It hurts like nothing else but it
should go away pretty quick cause i am icing and adviling like crazy. We think
it is because I am running a little too many miles too fast too soon, which I
take as a compliment and challenge :)
I talked to my CU coach today and told her my
plans for summer training and she sounding really impressed and said if I keep
it up I will be way ahead of the other freshman, whoohooooo!!
I am going to Lava with Annie tomorrow so that
should be good. Then I have girls camp, ya I got roped into that too, but it's
ok cause I have gotten to hang out with Avery a lot. She was at youth
conference and we had a way fun time.
Guess what? Avery snuck out of the house a
couple weeks ago to meet some friends and set off a bomb at 2 am!! Lauren and I
never snuck out, not once. Avery is way ahead of the game I guess. Haha, its ok
though cause she tells me all about it, we are bff.
Lauren is back from the honeymoon with Sean.
They are staying with Sean's mom till they move to Cedar in like a week ish.
Yesterday we unwrapped and sorted wedding gifts for like 2 hours and didn't
even finish!
Zach is playing football this year, and he runs
state track on Saturday so
hopefully he does good there!
Guess what!!!? I GOT PULLED OVER and I am so so
bitter. First time being pulled over and I got a ticket for 10 over, which I
need to go pay like right now. eww. I was going 10 over and not wearing my seat
belt and I was driving to practice so I didn't have my purse or Drivers Licenses.
Ya, sucks.
Anyway, let me know how the work is going! I
hope you are happy and doing well!
Love ya,
Chloe
PS The creepy pictures are the ones that I had
takedn for my seniors. I didn't buy anuy of them because I think they are
gross. I got them off the internet though. There are more, but I just laugh at
all of them. The one is the boat and canyon we stayed in at Powell. And the
other one is my and Annie at a Pierce party a while ago.
I will continue to send random selections of
pictures from my library :) And I will for sure send you the Accolade one in a
5x7.

Chase- hunk of burnin love, haha, thank you, thank you very
much!
So I went to a couple days of girls camp this
week up at Bear Lake and had a blast. We camped and boated and had a really cool
testimony meeting. I decided I hope I get to be in young womens when I am
old.
I think I am home this week, yay! But my dad
might haul my family to Wild Iris, a place in Wyoming that we rock climb. It
used to be a tradition to go there every 4th of July but it sort of died. You
know Jake Burton? His family and my family and some other familes all go and
when we were little we built a couple forts, one of which is legendary. I is
comprised of tons of broken tree branches put together between two huge boulders.
Haha, I am pretty sure it has been there for at least 10 years. If we go back,
I will take a picture. I hope you have a fantastic 4th of July! If we
don't go to Wild Iris, I think I will sleep over at Annie on her tramp. She and
I have been hanging out more lately and she is growing on me. She really is so
fun to be around. We went to North Ogden days fireworks on Saturday and that
was really fun.
No, Avery got away with sneaking out! I was so
proud of her :) she tried speaking out at girls camp but the leaders heard
about her plan and stopped it, haha, she is a little trouble maker. She just
left home to go to the airport to head to ODP Regional Camp. She made the State
team, now she has to make region team to go to national camp. Cross your fingers!
I have traffic school on wednesday night,
Whoohoo! I can't wait! $125 for 2 hours of agony. Wish me luck!
I have beef with you :) You always respond to
everything I say, but I rarely get to hear what you are up to. I know some of
what you do is repetitive, but fill me in a little more on the good stuff k?
Thanks.
Love you always

i loved the pictures. looked like you enjoyed it. thats way fun that ave got to be there with you. you have always been such a cool big sister to her and zach. keep it up ;)
wild iris sounds like a cool place. i think i saw a picture once upon a time. you me and your mom were sitting on the couch in the basement looking at pictures, and i think there was one of you and all the kids inside your stick fort thingy. maybe that was a different place, but i dont know..
thats wierd to me that you and annie are like good friends now, because i swear you didnt used to like her..? maybe im wrong.. i dont know. but im glad you are friends now, cuz itsw no fun when you dont like each other haha.
avery... oh how i miss that funny little child. thats totally cool that she got away with it.. i hope she makes the national team, that would be beyond cool!!!! wish her luck.
haha i miss traffic school, it was like a home away from home to me. haha just kiddin it wasnt that bad. it ends quickly. thjey just try to make you feel like an idiot for 2 hours.
so as far as what is going on here... almost nothing haha. it has rained all week, and today we have our first sunny day in a while. its way cold, and the work is progressing........... slowly. haha but im just diggin in and workin my guts out, and hoping that in the next couple of weeks the work will start paying off.
funny story: the other night some drunk guy locked himself out of his house, and was trying to climb in the second story window in a complete downpour, so i went all spider man and climbed up and got him off. he would have died, im sure of it. hes a funny dude. after he invited us inside to have dinner. we just laughed at him and left haha.
thats the most exciting news i have for this week.. oh i lie. next monday we get to go to the ski resort!!!!!!!!!!!! im way stoked. i will for sure take pictures of that.

i was wondering if you have still been updating facebook and
myspace. if you are, and if there are friend requests, you can just accept them
all. some people here have asked. they all know you are in charge though, so
you can go ahead and just hit accept to all or whatever.
i love you SOOOOOOOOO much, and miss you like crazy.
fill me in on EVERYTHING that is going on for next week!!
keep smiling for me ;)
yours forever,

Hey baby!
How are you love? I am good. I am in St
George with Emily and Danielle. I came down toCedar City with Lauren and Sean to help them move in on
Friday and Saturday. Then the girls came
down and us 3 are here and we are having a blast! We saw a live mouse in the
house! We will send you pictures. We discovered how he, Harold, got in. There
is a hole in the sliding door between the two doors. So, I used Reynolds wrap
(hmmm) to make a little box and stuck it in the hole and we won! The mouse
didn't get in all night. Haha, we were definitely up till about 3.
Laur and Sean have the cutest house! I couldn't
take pictures cause my camera was dead and I didnt have the charger with me.
But it is so so cute! And brand new too. Granite counters and 3 bedrooms and it
is just perfect! I love it! We took many a trip to Walmart for odds and ends
for the casa and I now think I have the Cedar Walmart memorized.
It's supposed to be 104 today! Hows the winter
going down there? Hows the work going?
Oh ya, I went to Relief Society last week!
Haha, it was so weird! I felt so old!
K, so, you know how I used to always say that I
want to learn to be a good cook? Well, me and the girls made Halibut and corn
and edamame and mashed potatoes and pears and it was such a good dinner! Even
we were impressed! And now we are eating eggs rather than cereal, we dont mess
around.
We are going to lay out and play around a
little so If you can get back to me, I will check my email later.
Love you babe!
Chloe
PS. If I can't send you a CD, this is the best
I can do ;)
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round

Ah! I am so excited! I am trying so hard to tan, but harder to
not burn. Ya, I have pictures, I need to sift through them and get all the good
ones together for you. Yeah for senior companion! What changes with that?
Congrats on the baptisms! Eww, rats, that's super nasty. Ya, we just screamed,
literally, at the top of our lungs and Donny and Em climbed on a counter. It
was so rediculously funny! We are taking tons of underwater pictures and
stunt pics. You will see some for sure. I love you so much boy! I keep having
these moments where it seems like I fell asleep in your arms up at the cabin
like last week. Hey, the year mark is coming! Love you :)

Hey
love,
So
I went to orientation in Boulder on thursday and friday and it
was... scary. Honestly, I am scared out of my mind. I didn't know anyone, and
the friends I made (or people I talked to) all drink and party hard core style.
The orientation was 2 days of lectures and classes about student life (alcohol
and parties). There was minimal talk about classes and stuff. I kind of broke
down and got really nervous after the first day, but my mom was with me that
night so we talked and it was all good. The next day I registered for classes
and as of right now I am registered for 14 hours. I am taking Economics,
Business Calculus, Chemistry, and Business Statistics. Ya, it's going to be
very difficult. And I am hoping to get a job at Anthropology. Its a way cute
clothing store that is in a gateway style mall right off campus. The campus is
beautiful! And the business building is brand new! I am way excited for school
to start and just get going. However...
I
am not too excited because I feel like I need more time to train. I have had to
take it way too easy because of my knee and it sucks bad. I stopped running
today to let some of the team catch up and standing for all of 20 seconds made
my knee lock up and I couldn't walk let alone run. So I limped about half a
mile to my house. I dont know if I told you that I got a cortisone shot in my
knee a few weeks ago and now I have prescription anti inflammatory cream to rub
on it 3 times a day. SO annoying. Anyway, I have less than a month to be in
perfect shape and I am a little nervous that when I get out there, coach will tell
me to red shirt or something lame.
So
last night were the weber fireworks. LOVE them. It was super great. I saw your
whole family, mom's side, there and Lisa looks amazing! She must have lost so
much weight. And Sophie remembered me! Love them.
So,
Scott Richey has cancer. I am not kidding. He has testicular cancer and he
found out on wednesday and got his left one removed the next day. He
finds out next week if it spread. If it did, he has to do chemotherapy. If it
didn't he is good. Sad huh? Oh, and he and heather are kinda dating! And,
Hunter had sergery down yonder too! He had non-cancerous tumors somewhere down
there that killed his right one. But he got it fixed on monday. Sad huh?
I have to take avery to the docter. I will finish when I get home.

hey....
so just to get started on a good note, your awesome little surprise is almost finished and will get out in the mail for sure this week =) i know you are gonna like it ;)
im sorry to hear that the orientation left a "bad taste in you mouth." thats way lame that everyone just wants to party.. you´ll just have to cling to your morals like you clung to me last year at the fireworks ;) im sure you are going to be just fine, im not worried at all. you´re an incredibly strong person, and that will help you a ton!
it will also help that you are taking a bunch of hard classes, it will keep you pretty busy, and with track practice and all that fun stuff, you´ll be just fine. and if you have any extra time, you can write me love notes, i wont complain i promise =) and you will be working, you´re all set!
thats a major bummer about the knee.. i hope, as always, that it all turns out ok. i will put in a special request with the big man and see what he can´t do to help you out a little with that =)
just do all that you can do, and it will turn out fine.
i just barely saw a picture of aunt lisa, and she does look good, so does jeff. im impressed. my dad seems to be pretty stinkin skinny too.
oh man that´s nuts! haha get it?? =) sorry im like a four year old sometimes.. but man that really bites! that would not be a very enjoyable experience.. i feel bad for both of them.. that would deffinitly ruin your day...
oh no!!! avery has to go too??? i hope she doesnt have the same problem hahahahahahahahahaha! man i am so making myself laugh today!! i have the lamest sence of humor ever, i apologize. dont hate me.
oh, and i LOVE the pictures!! haha you make me laugh... i dont know that the reynolds wrap is as effective as a real hug from your boy toy, but if it works im down with it. as long as you are happy, so am i =)
i will see if i can get a picture out too you. i will be here for another hour ish, so if you have time, i would love to hear back from you.
i love you sooooo much. and the love grows more and more everyday.
with all the love a heart can posess,

Chase,
k, so I tried to log on to your facebook and I couldn't because
I forgot the password and username. I wrote it down in a notebook that I can't
find. Sorry! So, I tried sending emails to your hotmail and gmail accounts that
have your password and stuff in it. So, If you can get your password and
username that way, let me know what they are and I will take care of it. If you
can't do that, you can give me the passwords to you email accounts so I can get
the email that has your facebook passwords in it.
So I just spent a few days in St.George with my
dad, sean, lauren, avery, and zach. It was so so fun! We golfed 9 holes on teh
first day and I was horrible. I got a decent score if I had been playing 18
holes. 73. Awful. But i got 2 bogies, so that was decent. The rest were like
quadruple bogies. Then we went canyoneering. We repel through slot canyons that
you can't hike through. Some of the repels end in water so you have to tread
while untying the ropes. And the water smells weird cause its really dirty. We
wore rockin wetsuits and stuff. The big one was bout 100 feet. I was surprised
has scared I wasn't. It was way fun though.
We did that for 2 days, then we went 4wheeling
at the sand dunes in Kanab. Love my
fourwheeler. I hadn't been since last fall so I was a little rusty, but it was
fun too.
I just got home this morning. I got 1 hour of
sleep last night, ya, feels awesome. Anyway, I plan to take a huge fat
nap.
So, I have heard from almost everyone that has
written you that you don't write them back. Most recent is Steven. I don't know
whats up but I know a few weeks ago you said something about not getting many
letters and I just thought I would let you know that if you are getting letters
you've gotta write people back or they wont write again. On the other hand, if
it is a time issue, just tell me and I can pass it on that you have limited
time or whatever.
Have fun and let me know what to do about the
facebook. Sorry I lost the password.
Love ya! Chloe

hey love!!
thanks for the update with facebook, one of the members down here in my sector just jumped on it a minute ago for me and got the stuff taken care of, and he said he´ll just take care of it for a bit or something like that, he just went and accepted all of the friend requests, so we´re good as far as that goes..
im glad you had fun down in st george haha and im glad to hear you went golfing haha. thats cool.. repelling sounds like it would be way fun, i havent done that since i was in scouts!!
thats way wierd that people are saying that im not writing, i seriously write back to everything i get.. they are probably lying haha jk i dont know whats happening, i got an email from steve today, and i sent him another one back.. i must just not be getting the mail people send to me.. it is a little frustrating, but i cant do much about it..
i hope you have a great nap!! i love you forever, thanks so much for your love and prayers.
love,

Hey babe.
I head to Boulder 2 weeks from today or tomorrow. I am freaking out. It
will be at least an 8 hour drive. I spent this last week in Park
City for the arts festival and Zach's
soccer tournament. We ended up shopping a bunch. I got a lot of dorm stuff and
it is killing me. I am slowly realizing that this is real. The whole leaving
friends and family thing is going to be really hard once I get there and
realize how alone I am :( But I am talking to a veteran of leaving and being
alone. I can't imagine how you felt before you left cause I am so so scared, to
be completely honest.
On a happier note, guess what? I have a game we
are going to play. I got the idea from Emily. I was telling her how it's hard
to know what to put in letters because once you get the letter, you will have
already gotten emails about whatever is in the letter so it kinda doesnt work.
So! She told me what her and Karson do. They ask questions in letters! I cant
believe I didn't think of it before! So the letters they write are like a
question game. So, I am sending you a letter with a question or a couple
questions. They can be random, deep, past, present, future, provocative, or
mission and /or school related. Anything at all! Em told me about some of
theirs and they are hilarious and I am excited to try it!
I went to the fray concert and Jacks Mannequin
opened for them and it made me smile so big :) We will have to go sometime
because both bands, but especially the fray, are really good live, like
phenomenal.
Cause I have been out of town, I have yet to go
see the pictures you sent home. Hopefully I can do it soon. I haven't gotten
whatever you sent, just fy,i no biggy. And you have a couple letters coming
your one question letter and one other one.
I miss your guts everyday. I really wish I
could just sit at the computer all day, but you know me, haha, I am always
running around it seems like. Today I am going boating with my dad.
I love you. I really do. I don't deserve you,
that's for sure :)

hello love,
i cant believe that you are already getting ready to head out to college!! you are so grown up!!!!!!!! when i met you, you were only 15 years old!!!!!!!!!!! i was 17, and now we are 18 and 19, and a million miles a way from where we were almost 3 years ago. haha man sometimes i want to cry when i think about how fast the time has gone. lots of times i wish i could replay our whole last year together(the happiest year of my life), and memorize every thought, emotion, and event that took place.. ;)
im sorry to hear that you are scared.. it would be way easier if we were doing it together huh? but i had to do it on my own, and you are way tougher than i am, so im sure you are going to be just fine. plus, you can call home whenever you want and talk to people and ask advice. i have had to do it all by myself pretty much. i wont lie to you and say that leaving home was easy, because it wasn´t. it was very very hard. but i grew a TON during my first few weeks and months, and i continue to learn more and more everyday. i know you will be fine, just write down anything you need, questions, doubts, fears, funny stories, etc., and send them to me, and i will do what i can to give you the answers/help that you need.. i love you, and i just want you to be happy with all that you are doing..
the letter game sounds fun. haha it should be great!! it will be fun to see what questions we can think up!! i´ve got some good stuff up my sleeve. i´ll let you know when i get your letter and i will get one back out to you as soon as i can! (before i forget, do you already have your adress at the university? because if you do i will just send your surprise there, becasue i thougt it was going to be ready, but it wasnt, so i will just be sending it this week and you will be gone already by the time it gets there. so if you can give me that i will start getting some stuff on the way..)
the concert sounds like it was a BLAST!! i love both of those bands cuz it is just good classy music haha. we have lots of things we have to do together when i get home...(just a little over 14 months, and it is gonna go sooooo fast!!) i have a little list of things i have been puting together too ;)
i miss you too. and i love you more and more everyday. today when we were doing the paper work for my companions visa, A Knights Tale was on the tv at the place and we had to wait for like and hour and 15 minutes, so i saw almost all of it. it just made me so so happy. the part when he sends the poem makes me think of you every single time and i just smile. i hope it makes you think of me when you see it too..
i cant wait to hear from you again soon.
"It is strange to think,I have not seen you in a month(or 10).
I have seen the new moon,but not you.
I have seen sunsets and sunrises,but nothing of your beautiful face.
The pieces of my broken heart can pass through the eye of a needle.
I miss you like the sun misses the flower.Like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter.
Instead of beauty to direct its light to,the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has sent me to.
I next compete in Paris(I will be in the airport in 14 months).I'll find it empty and cold if you're not there.
Hope guides me.It gets me through the day and especially the night.The hope that after you leave my sight it will not be the last time I look upon you.
With all the love that I possess...I remain yours...
The knight of your heart."

p.s. my wish at 11:11 everyday has not changed from the thing i wished that night atlake powell under the stars. i love you :)

AHHAHHAHAHAHHAH! I am moving out! and ther eis
a chance that I will never live at home again, slim, but there is a chance.
Weird huh?
That's awesome! Didn't you go into this area when it was like
dead? Good for you, I am not surprised :)
Tell Elder Lopez hola from Utah! Now I want a taco. Ahh! How are/here the mountains?
The mountains are still here at home, they havent gone any where :) But
tomorrow morning at about 6AM I
will be pulling out in my little 4runner to drive to BOULDER
COLORADO aka my new home! Well, kind of, OGden will always be my home. I am still not ready though!
It's redicuolous I have way too much stuff! I dont know how you did it.
Surprise, YAY!! I will know my address when I
get over there tomorrow, but I still dont have it. You will be the first to
know when I do.
I went and saw your familiy yesterday! They
gave me Tide and laundry stuff, much needed. And the whole Reynolds side was
there and I still love em! Your grandpa and mom were taking pictures of me the
whole time and I felt sooooo dumb. Haha, but it was ok. I got 2 roses! Cause I
hadn't gotten last months! Yay for 10 roses and 2 more till half way! This is
going to fly!
I love you! Have a great week! Expect something
from boulder soon!

PS One of my next mail letters is going to
be... less than happy. I have some stuff i need to tell you about my little
family :( Don't worry to much. I just want you to know whats coming.
Monday,
August 17, 2009 4:27 PM
wow, tomorrow is the big day huh? that is crazy. i cant believe
how the time passes. i swear you told me like yesterday that you were gonna go
to boulder.. that is so wierd that you´re moving out of utah (for a
while at least).
i did indeed arrive to this sector and it was a giant hole in the mission, but with hard work and a lot of help from above, this place is getting a ton better.
the mountains here are........impressive. they are huge, and covered in lots and lots of snow. we went today, and it was sooo cool!! i havent touched snow since i left the united states.. so it was awesome.
surprise... should have gotten to you like last monday. i sent you flowers, and my mother said they got sent so i hope you got them and that they made you smile..
yes, please send the adress STAT so that i can get your little package out to you!!
haha sounds like you had fun with the fam. they only smother you because they love you so stinking much. not quite as much as i love you, but they sure do care about you a ton. they tell me all about it all the time. hopefully my mother can figure out a way to send the roses to you or something like that. that would be cool.
i thought you would laugh about a story that happened yesterday... so last night i had a sleep over in the house of the zone leaders cuz they are like my best buddies in the zone, and me and elder routson stayed up until like 3:30 talking about the love of each of our respective lives. haha we laughed and smiled, and just talked between friends, and it was way good for me and him. i love when i get those re-confirming butterflies in my stomache, because it just makes me smile and remember how much i love you.
i hope all is ok with the family, whats up? fill me in, cuz i truly dont want to wait til the letter gets here to find out... if you dont want to talk about it, i understand that too. just dont forget that you can tell me everything and anything..
i love you so so much, and i wish you all of the best in this new journey in your life. anything you need, just write me and i will see what i can do ;)
love forever,

This week I moved to Colorado! THen I went to camp
at Grand Lake, about 3 hours out ofBoulder, with the XC team. Its about
9200 feet elevation so it kind of killed my lungs to run up there, but after 4
days I felt awesome! Minus the fact that my knee is killing me, I am good. We
played bingo with the town of like 500 people, like legit bingo. I didnt win,
but a senior, Kenyan, won $80 in blackout! The town loves it when we come
because we about double the bingo night. We also swam in this wicked cold
lake! And jumped off of bridges into the lake! These 2 random guys on a boat
stopped and did ganers off of the top of the bridge! Like 45 feet up, 2 at a
time. SOOOOOO sick. I just jump off the road level, but it was fun. We also
played 4square every night, awesome!! I start class in literally 15 minutes.
Ewww college. I actually am kind of excited, kind of. But i have to go. I will
check back and hopefully write again!
And yes I did get the lovely flowers! Thanks,
you are a gem. I had to laugh cause they spelled my name Chole and I first
thought you had forgotten how to spell my name! But then I noticed they spelled
your name Chace. Haha, loved them just the same though :) thanks.
And my address is
Chloe Calton
9005 Willard Hall
Boulder Colorado ....I
forgot the zip code. I will get it to you after class!

hey best friend!!!!
so i just thought i would let you know that no, i havent forgotten how to spell your name. my english is getting bad, but not that bad haha...
i guess i cant expect too much when i have to have other people do things for me.. its a little hard to do it all from like 5000 kilometers away.. i try, but sometimes it doesnt turn out as good as i would like..
i am soo happy that you are having fun!! it definitly is hard to go somewhere when you dont know anyone, but if you can make friend really quick it helps a ton. and it sounds like you are already enjoying yourself. that is really important. take it in, and enjoy it for me ;)
haha bingo.. that reminds me of lagoon haha. when we used to go with my family each year, they had some bingo party with kentucky fried chicken haha.. and that is the first thing that popped into my head when i heard bingo haha.
i hope you have fun in class. im sure you´l be just fine, just make the best out of each moment and you´ll be great!
try and get me your zip code today, so that i can get you´re package out to you.. along with the letter that i wrote over a month ago and the new one i just wrote today..
as far as my week went here, alomost nothing happened. it rained everyday, all day, very very hard. the power was out a lot of the time, and when that happens we arent allowed to go outside because it is very dangerous when there is no light..
we also had cambios today, but there are no changes here, im still with elder guerra, and we´re gonna keep working hard!
i love you to infinity,
chase =)
say hi to all of your friends that i dont know haha
so i just thought i would let you know that no, i havent forgotten how to spell your name. my english is getting bad, but not that bad haha...
i guess i cant expect too much when i have to have other people do things for me.. its a little hard to do it all from like 5000 kilometers away.. i try, but sometimes it doesnt turn out as good as i would like..

hey,
remember how we tell eachother about everything....?
well today, i could really use a big hug from you, and a nice long talk.. i dont know why, but apart from the fact that i miss you, and apart from everything else, today i just feel like all of my past frustrations and current circumstances have all just come to one giant exploding point and i feel like i could just use a good cry almost. when you feel like that, what do you do?? because i realize i could just cry, but as a missionary, i dont really have any time for that kinda thing.. any quick fix ideas??????
i love you,
chase

Chase--- I was just thinking, I don't remember if I ever had a
nickname for you.... but I am ok with that. Just..... Chase :)
There isn't a quick fix for feeling like that, at least not one that I know of.
I have been there so many times since you have been gone, I can't count
them. You need to find someone to talk to, vent to in a positive way. Talk
to me :) I will do my best to talk back as if I were there. I am sorry, because
I know that the feeling you are having, if it is the same as mine, is painful
to say the least. Get it out of your system. Today in Relief Society we talked
about friendship.... sometimes people hold things back from people around
them to protect their image or so their friends wont think less of them, I
know I have done that before... But just know that having a hard time,
especially through something like a mission is bound to happen. It just is.
If you didn't have hard times, then you probably don't care enough.
So it's ok. I do have one suggestion. I don't know how much you talk to your
brother, but he has been where you are. So have lots of other people, but I
think you have an opportunity to 'bond' with him over this. Whether it's a big
or small struggle, for you to look up to him would be huge for him as a big
brother (this is me pretending I know how to be Dr.Phil, but bare with me..).
Confide in Clark when you are having a rough time. See if it helps :) And you
can cry as a missionary i think.
I hope you know that I still loved the flowers! It was very
thoughtful of you, and I thinks it's funny they spelled both of our names
wrong.
I used to love it when the power would go out!
It was my favorite! We would get candles out and make our house look like an
old castle and play games. And we weren't allowed to open the fridge or the
cold would get out and the food would spoil, haha, I love little kid
memories.
Tell me more about Elder Guerra. I feel like
the only companion of yours that I got to know a little bit was Elder
Maldonado. We are friends on Facebook :) Sometimes he writes me and it's funny
cause he doesn't speak perfect english, but he is way nice. He calls me
'beautiful eyes'. Have you kept in contact with him at all?
Who is the twin that you new that just got home
to washington that Tate knows?? That is so so crazy, such a small
world.
I wrote Corbin an email today!! I hope he
doesn't think I am creepy, I just basicaly said hi and told him the Jeff
Speechley got his call to Ghana. Did I already
tell you that? I can't remember. Ben Buck is going to Chile! He isn't in you mission, or Chase Halverson's mission, but how cool is
that?? SUPER! and Devin Gilbert is going to Argentina. Devin skies a lot so I thought maybe you might know
of him. Soon Israel will get
his call too. So so awesome. You boys are really brave. I also wrote Gavin to
say hi, haha, I didn't really know what to say. It's fun writing all you
elders, but you are my favorite :) Who are you keeping contact with?
So I just got back from my first student/single
ward experience and it was pretty cool. We have church in the institute
building and they have a little portable pulpit. It's very small and there were
only about 50 people there. It was a very humble group :) The people there are
so so nice. We have missionaries that are way nice too! One is going to BYU
when he gets home. We sang Called to Serve and we all stood and it gave me
chills. It made me think of you :)
**A letter is on it's way to you** It's the
intense one.... but there are 2 in the envelope. Read the intense one, then
forget about it. Then read the awesome one!! It's the start of the question
game :) I think I might start another one so we have multiple questions
circulating at the same time... YAY!!! I am sooo excited. You have to be very
very detailed when answering these questions or it won't be as fun! Like,
thoughts, setting, words, whatever. You can do more than one question if you
want, I only did one this time. Ha! Can you tell I am stoked out of my mind??
So have I told you that there is a kid on my
team named Aric VAN HALEN. Ya, his dad is in the band... haha crazy huh?
I promise I am going to send you pictures, it's
just that my camera dock is missing now so I can't even charge my camera or get
pictures off of it! Sorry love... And the old pictures are being sent to me via
hard drive as soon as my mom does that for me.
I hope you have had a good week! Tell me about
you investigators! Details! I feel like I don't know much about what goes on
down yonder, fill me in!
Love Jo
PS I don't think I ever told you how much I
loved the email you recently sent me about a knights tale... I heart you so so
much. Being here in Boulder, I have yet
again learned to appreciate you more. The guys here are.... raunchy to say the
least. They are fun and nice, but they have zero respect for women in general.
They have NO idea how to impress a girl, treat a date, or have manners or
respect or a filter between brain and mouth. So, thank you for being a
respectful gentleman, I really do appreciate, even more so now.

Because I can't get pictures off of my camera, I am getting them
off peoples facebook! Creeper, I know.
One picture is of my team up at cross country
camp in Grand Lake after we
played a crazy game of whiffle ball!
One picture is of me, lauren, sean and avery
with Landon Wells who got back from his mission in Scotland recently.
One picture is of me posing on a motorcycle
with Matt Tebo, a kid on the team, on a free bike he found at camp.
One picture is of my family. But you and I are
in the background. You are wearing my sunglasses on your head and I am looking
at you like I just rolled my eyes, haha, love it!
And one picture is of me trying not to laugh
and my henna tattoo that I got on my neck a couple weeks ago. It's an indian
feather :) It still had the mud on it in the picture, it was lighter after I
washed it.

hey baby girl,
first of all i just want to start by thanking you for putting the BIGGEST smile on my face that i have had in about 2 months.. your email just made my whole week. i dont know why, but just the way you wrote it or i guess all of it just brightened the the dark that i feel like i have ben in.. so thank you ;)
i dont remember if you had a nickname for me or not.. i dont think so.. all of the guys always called me "reynolds" or "CR" and some of the girls called me "chasers" or "chasey wasey"(sarah d. haha). i am almost positive you just always called me chase.. if you want to create a nickname feel free, but if it is hideous, im definitly going to voice my opinion..
thank you for the advice for when i feel like dying inside.. i kinda figured it out on my own during the week.... wednesday night i stayed up until 4 o clock studying the scriptures.. i love the scriptures soooo much!!!! i have learned so stinkin much during these ten and a half months.. you would be highly highly impressed with the progress i have made personally.. i will let you see my scriptures when i get home, they are all marked up, and i have found sooooooo much cool stories and things that a person can apply in their life to be happy or overcome challenges and what not.. the other day i vented to elder morillo. he is from logan. me and him are finishing the mission at the same time. his family is from el salvador, so he already spoke spanish and was only in the mtc for 3 weeks, but he is soo funny, and we get along really well. he is in my district, so its way fun.
ya it was fun when the power went out, except we dont have any candles in the house, so i had to use my flash light for everything, and then the batteries died, and that kinda sucked.... a lot hahahahaha but its a funny story i will remember forever..
im sorry i havent told you more about elder guerra, but here it goes:
elder guerra is from a city called iquitos, peru. it is a big city right in the middle of the jungle.. he has a brother that is also serving the mission in bolivia. he has been a member his whole life. he has 6 and a half months in the mission. he is way funny.. he is like 4 foot 11.. haha just kiddin, im not sure, but he is soooo tiny. he has 4 sisters and the one brother... he is the second youngest. he turns 22 on the 19th of september. we get along wayyyy good, and i really do love the kid. he will be one of my good buddies forever...
i havent heard from elder maldonado for like 6 months.......... i dont know what happened to him.
elder clark is the kid that tate knows.. i didnt know he is a twin.. he is a good guy.
im soo stoked that all of the guys are going... the mission is really going to change a few of them a lot.. jeff is going to mellow out a ton haha..
i havent really kept in contact with many people.. mason malan wrote me.. i write stevie wevie like every week..
singles ward sounds like fun.. that is a big group!!! i had 27 people in sacrament meeting last sunday haha..
(called to serve is a great song.. i havent sung it in english since i left the mtc...)
YAY letter!!!!!!!!!! i love how excited you are about our new game, it makes me excited tooo!! i will make sure to be incredibly detailed with my respone haha..
ya you told me about the van halen kid.. that is totally rad.. tell him to tell his dad i am a HUGE fan hahaha..
send pictures when you get it all figured out.. no sweat.. i am gonna try and get some stuff figured out with my pictures too, and i will get a cd out to you :)
we have like one investigator right now.. seriously. that is why i have been feeling down lately.. we are working SOOOOOOOOO hard, and my president thinks we arent working hard at all becuase nothing is resulting from our hard work.. but our investigator, lesly, is 13, and she is getting baptized on the 20th of september..
im glad you liked the knight´s tale thing.. it just made me think of you sooooo much, so i sent it ;)
im sorry that all the guys there are disrespectful and gross... but not really, because that just makes me look better.. and i cant have some guy stealing my love from me.. so it helps me out a lot that they are ronchy =) hahahaha
i love you soo soo much. thank you for the AWESOME email, and the pictures.. they made me smile.
forever yours,
-chase-

I
just learned that Isreal has his mission call! He is going to Pocatello
Idaho... yep seriously. He leaves October 28th, same day as Ben and he
will be speaking spanish. I called him today when I heard to congratulate him
and I couldn't tell if he was 100% stoked about the whole Idaho thing.
But I think he is excited to get out there though. He know portugese so spanish
will be a good additoin.
Anyway,
I am so glad I brightened your day! Sometimes I find that hard to do from way
up here :) Have a good week!

Hey Chase,
So, was this week better than last week?? I
hope so. How is your one investigator doing? Any more this week? I pray for you
success and happiness always!
So this week I ran very little due to my knee
issues. My coaches and trainers are really helping me out and giving me all
sorts of treatments in hopes that I will be 100% recovered as soon as possible.
Today I ran better than I have in a while. I went with the fast group and went
longer than I usually do. And my knee barely even hurt! Yay!!!! I still might
red shirt this season though because 1) That would give me a fifth year of
elligability if I choose to run that long and 2) It's not worth racing a whole
season if I am not in top shape. It woudl just discourage me I think... kind of
like my whole senior year. I don't have to decided untill October though, so I
have about a month..
Which means that you have almost a year out and
it's almost your birthday!!! Whoohoo!! Do you have anything specific in mind
that you want??
So I went home this week from Wednesday to
Saturday. When you get my letter, you will know why :) I got to go boating with
my Dad and I cleared the wake on a wakeboard. It was soooooo awesome! I was
getting some serious air! I like wakeboarding :) I also skiied. I love skiing
but I didn't do as well as I usually do. We will have to do some boating in
like...2011 :) I am so so so rediculously sore from the 5 or 6 wrecks I had on
my ski. Ya, it was a rough day, but so worth it! I also wrecked once on the wake
board. I went to jump the wake and came about a foot short and I accidentally
let my front edge go into the wake I was jumping and it gave me really bad whip
lash. But there was no blood and no broken bones, so I am good!
I also got to watch Avery play soccer against
Bonneville. Ogden is 4A now so
they are in the same region. They tied until they did golden goal overtime and
BHS scored in the first 30 seconds. So it was 0-1. It was awesome to get to see
Avery play. She starts and plays center mid the whole varsity game. Ya she is
awesome. I got to see her run at the BYU invitaitonal too. She got 12th! She
may have been the top freshman, I am not sure, but she ran really well. She was
with the leaders untill the last mile and then fell back a little bit but she
has lots of time to improve.
Zach is in Jr. High now! He seriously is my
favorite person ever, I love that kid so so so much. (not that I love him more
than Ave) He is doing cross country so we will see how that goes.
My mom took me shopping in Provo after avery's race and I got glasses!!! Whoohoo! So
now I can take my contacts out at night and not be blind :) and my eyes will
probably last longer if I stop wearing contacts for months at a time. I also
got a pair of Rock Revival jeans--- hot sheeeee. and a leather jacket that
makes me look like I belong in Top Gun (which I finally saw and loved!)----hot
sheeee as well :)
I saw Meg at the soccer game and we got to
talk, she looks like she is doing really well. She texted me a picture of her
homecoming dress... beautiful!
Let me know when you get my letter, k? but the
question game has to be played through letters, no email :)
Love you miss you!!!

hey baby girl!!!
im not entirely sure why, but this week i am in such a great mood!! the work hasnt progressed a whole lot this week, but i feel a whole lot better.. yes we are still working with lesly, it is kinda hard with her, cuz she is only in her house on friday saturday and sometimes on sunday.. she has a baptismal date for the 20th of this month, so hopefully it all works out well..
im sorry you have been having issues with your knee, that bites huge!! but i am happy that it is feeling better. keep me posted with what happens with red shirting and all that..
i am going to complete a year in like 40 days, and i will be 20 years old!! that is so dang wierd to me!! it is absolutely insane to me that so much time has already passed.. but its kinda cool too, cuz that means on the
15th of october the countdown will begin.. craaaazy!! i dont know what i want... anything will make me happy.. there isnt really a lot i can use here in the mish you know?
did dad buy a boat??? cuz i swear you said that you sold the old one.. but cool that you like wakeboarding, i do too, im not very good, but its a good time.. i remember totally slamming on the wakeboard a couple of times, and it kinda takes all of the fun out of it huh?
wow, avery is a superstar.. im very proud of her, and i am so happy to hear that she is doing so well. tell her i wish the best for her in everything.. same with zach, how is he doing??
hot sheeeee..... haha i havent heard that since like a year ago almost.. but im glad the new merchandise is hot sheee.. ;)
i will for sure let you know when i get the letter, and i will be including a few other things with the return letter...
so not a lot to say this week... nothing has really happened haha. i am happy and doing well. its starting to get a little bit warmer here.. spring here isn=C2=B4t near as cool as utah.. im going to tell you the saddest thing of my life.. thunder like doesnt exist here.. ya it is totally lame and i dont like it.. i cant wait to hear a thunderstorm again.
so random, but here all of the kids listen to american music, and i heard and awesome song this week.. im sure it has been out for forever in the states, but its called love drunk by boys like girls.. i liked it.. it sounds cool.. i dont remember what it said, but it was cool.. i try to enjoy anything american that i can experience while im here haha..
so i have news for you.. i am almost positive i am going to be running at weber state when i get home.. my parents talked to coach walker this week, and it sounds like he was stoked that im still interested in running there.. it is going to help me out a ton when i get home, cuz i will be able to live at home and i wont have to worry about paying for housing and food. plus i loved running for coach dean, and i would love to run for him again.. im still not 100% sure that that is what im gonna do, but as of now those are my plans i think..

Chase--- I miss you.
So, this week I ran 35 miles! That is pretty good given how my
past weeks have gone because of my knee. So it's doing great! I ran 50 minutes
today almost pain free, whoohoo! We have started lifting twice a week too.
And I am thinking about swimming on Saturdaysfor an extra workout that
won't have any negative effects. I still haven't decided or even really talked
to the coaches about red shirting. I still have a few weeks.
I will keep praying for Lesly! One week till
her fecha! (Haha, me and Spanish are friends :) Any new ones this week? How's
the work coming? I hope you are still in a good mood :) That made my day when I
read that last week!
2 days till the eleven month mark! I am so so
proud of you. Truly, you are a stud... my stud :) And then the count down
begins next month! And your birthday too! Ahh, I really can't explain how much
I would prefer to just give you a hug for your birthday. I had a dream the
other night that I was at your house with your family talking on speaker phone
to you and you made a 'that's what she said' joke. And it created an awkward
silence, then I woke up. It was kind of funny, then it just scared me that it
had actually happened! There is a kid on our team who ALWAYS says things like
that and it's getting old fast.
Umm, dad may have bought a boat. Maybe. He
won't tell me if the boat we have used a few times is his or not. It's a long
story. I will tell you about it soon... as soon as I know you got my letter :)
Avery is a super star! She
ran number 1 for OHS in the Murray invitational on Saturday! Freshman kicking butt! But she wont freakin call me
back! I text and call her all of the time to hear how she is feeling about
being a super star and she wont call me back and it is making me so so sad. But
I understand that she is busy. Zach is doing so good! I seriously love that kid
so so much. He ran his first jr high cross country race last week and he got
4th and ran13:23 I think for a 2
mile course. 4th for a little 7th grader is pretty good! He called me after his
race to tell me about it and it made my day! He is such a sweet heart. When I
am having a hard day, I can seriously just think of him and a can't help but
smile... kind of like a certain missionary I am fond of ;) He is also playing
soccer. His team just got reformed and they are now part of the Ogden Outlaws club. Hopefully that takes off, cause he says
they are struggling lately. Lauren and Sean are living their happy little lives
down in Cedar City and they are
both working and going to school. Yay for the newlyweds.
No thunder? Oh dear, honey you are being
deprived!! The weather here in Boulder is
spectacular. It is sunny a lot, but the past few days it has been sort of over
cast and rained a little bit, but no thunder yet. When there are clouds, it
makes the mountains look like a Hawaiian rain forrest, sooooo beautiful! I ran
up a canyon today and I had to stop and take it all in. It was glorious! You
will have to come out here and spend like a week with me. And i hear that the
snow here is rockin too.
I think I already told you but Israel got his call to Pocatello Idaho. Ya, I didn't know what to say either. He is learning
Spanish though, and he already knows Portuguese so he will be trilingual. And I
have a friend, Joe Favero, who is going to the Netherlands speaking Dutch. And another, Colby Hill, who is going
to Portugal. Missions are bomb dot
com for sure.
Love drunk is definitely a cool song, love it.
I am getting some really cool mixes from some team mates you will hear soon
enough :)
I AM SO STOKED FOR YOU TO RUN FOR WEBER, YOU
SERIOUSLY DONT EVEN KNOW!! Being on the cross team has been so so much fun, I
don't think there is any other way to do college right than to be on a D1
athletic team. It's so awesome! I can't contain how excited I am for you! It's
killing me! You will have so much fun! Yes, being at home after being gone for
a couple years will be a good think for sure, good choice. Just know I support
all you do :) I know a lot of the girls on Weber's team and they are a fun
group! I bet Jacob Barton will run there too. He's a goof. He's like the other
little brother I don't have. Wow, I couldn't be happier! (That is a slight
lie--- I could only be happier if we were running at the same school. But
everything will work itself out)
So I have to tell you about today. After my run
I hurried to church (I love singles/student ward. As much as it's kind of corny
and funny sometimes, it's also a good time) and I ended up missing the
sacrament. I was sooooo bummed. I have really grown to appreciate the sacrament
in a way that makes me really sad when I don't have the chance to take it. But
I found a ward that meets at 1 a few miles away so on days that practice runs
late I can still make it! Anyway, it was ward conference and the bishop and
stake president spoke. Wow, amazing speakers. So powerful and enthusiastic. I
have decided to start taking my journal to church and institute with me so I
can write stuff down in a spiritual setting in the same book where I write
secular experiences so my church life isn't separate from the rest you know?
Anyway, I ended up writing about 5 pages of stuff down and loved it! I have
used up about half of a new journal since December and it is full of great
stuff! My point in telling you this is that I want you to know that I feel like
I am becoming a better person each day. That may sounds dumb, but in a
spiritual sense, I NEED prayer in my life. I want to be in a better habit of
reading each day. I want to take the sacrament each day and I appreciate it's
significance more. I don't know, I just feel like I am happiest when I
can look back on each day and know that I improved myself in a few different
ways-- physically, mentally and spiritually. I rarely find myself wasting time
or doing something of little importance and I looove it! It kind of makes me
feel like I am on my own little mission! Oh and guess what?? I brought Shalaya
(my room mate) and a kid on our team, Matt Tebo, to a institute activity on
friday night! We played ultimate frizbee and it
was so sick! And Shalaya wants to do a couple other church related activities
with me too! I hope so so bad I can get her to come to church with me! I just
love her and she is already a perfect person practically, she just needs to be
dunked :) Haha. I am kind of an institute junky because they have awesome fun
stuff going on all of the time and most of the time the alternative weekend
activity here is not so wholesome. Do you remember that date we went on when we
first started dating to Olive Garden? I believe it was the first one. (In the
little book it is the date where I said "You scared the crap out of
me" I think) Well, on that date I specifically remember saying
"I have never been to a party." Well, let's just say that I have now.
Don't worry nothing too crazy. But the people on my track team who I thought
would surely be sober people given that they are all athletes... aren't sober
people. It's kind of sad actually.
On a happier note-- I don't know if you fell
this way ever (I think you described this feeling to me once) but I have had a
renewed feeling for loving you lately. I miss you like crazy. It's a different
feeling than right when you left, it hurts less. It's more of an excited
missing you feeling! Maybe it's cause the one year mark is coming up and I
can't wait to start counting down the days! Remember when it was like more than
700 days? I think for a while It seemed like you would never get home, but now
it seems so close! It will be a good day when I get to look you in the eyes
:)
AHHHH! I just came up with another good
question to ask you!!! I am writing it and putting it in the mail tomorrow
morning!!
So, the picture I attached is one of my very
favorites :) I purposely didn't look at a lot of our pictures for a while so I
could look at them months later and get all excited! Do you have all of those
pictures?
I just want to finish this extremely long email
by thanking you for always respecting me. I have never heard you use certain
words. I have never felt violated by you in any way. You were always very
patient with me and I guess because you constituted most of my dating life
between the age of 15 and when you left, I never knew anything different. But
being out here, I realize that all boys aren't gentlemen. And that I am very
very very lucky to have you as a part of my life.
I love you Chase. More today than ever
before.
Love Chloe.

hello my love,
so i just got halfway ticked off cuz i was just finishing a beast of a letter, and the computer shut itself off.. i almost cried.. haha but i didnt, and now i am just gonna start over :) if it erases it again i might punch someone haha
haha ok anyway.. i am happy that this week has gone better for you with your leg. i remember a couple of times when i had issues with my legs, and it made running not fun ha. so hopefully you get better quickly..
thank you for praying for lesly, she is losing interest, and it is making me sad, i hope everything works out with her.. we are now working with another girl named karina, she is way cool, and i am about 99 percent sure that she will get baptized on the 27th.
the work is going forward in bulnes, a little slowly, but it is getting better..
i am in a fabulous mood.. thank you for another fabulous letter this week, it puts a huge smile on my face :)
haha you are sooooooo trunky hahahaha.. it makes me laugh, but it is all good, i get trunky sometimes too.. the countdown will start in like 32 days, but who´s counting right? haha.. i have been climbing this mountain for a long time, and in about a month it will be all downhill right into your arms ;)
hey for my birthday, can i ask for something?? its way small but i need it... badly. chapstick.. it doesnt exist here.. and my lips hurt.. pick out your favorite flavors, colors, etc., and send me a few.. can you do that for me? that would be soooo great!!
im sorry to hear about the "that´s what she said" kid haha. just punch him and be like, "my boyfriend says that you need to grow up!" something like that.. or just laugh at him for being dumb and immature.
so i am kinda stressin this letter that still hasnt gotten here, because i have no idea what to expect.. but it should get here this week, so i will let you know for sure..
i am so proud of your superstar siblings. that is sooo cool.. i bet avril is just all caught up in her superstardom. she is probably busy signing autographs and stuff, and that is why she hasnt called.. that must be the same deal with my brother, cuz he hasnt written me back in like 2 months..
send a big hug to lauren and sean for me. i miss them and their awesomeness..
ya it kinda bites that there is no thunder, but i think it will help me appreciate it more when i get home..
boulder sounds cool! maybe i´ll go there.. maybe. i think my mom would be sooo sad if i leave the state right after getting home... but i guess that is all part of growing up right? we´ll see what happens as i get closer to finishing the mish..
i would LOVE nothing more than to go spend like a week with the girl of my dreams in the mountains haha. that would be way cool..
i think izzy is gonna love pocatello. i heard they baptize a lot there.. plus wherever he goes is where he is supposed to be..
i miss music so much.. i cant wait to listen to music again.... and to see all of the movies that i have missed..
haha thank you for your support :) i am excited, but i still am not like 100 percent sure if i want to go there or maybe to byu.. all of my mission buddies are going to byu, and so i will just have to see what happens.. because like you said, the ultimate dream would be to run at the same school with you!! we have spent like the last 4 years wearing different uniforms, and it would be way cool to finally be on the same team..
i am proud of you for your spirutual developement.. haha that sounded like something a bishop would say.. but i really am proud of you.. because now more than ever you are going to have to cling to your beliefs and not let anything shake you.. but i am truly proud of you for all of the developement you have had over the past months.. it´s hard to know exactly how you have changed/developed and what not, but i get a little bit of and idea through your letters..
random question but.. do you ever feel yourself getting more beautiful?? someone once told me that everyday that a missionary works out in the rain/heat/cold or whatever the harsh surcumstances, your wife gets more and more beatiful... and i have worked in A LOT of very very harsh surcumstances, so i figure you must just be practically glowing with beauty!!!!!!!!!! haha
haha i was actually reading the little book the other day, and i cant even tell you how great of a writer you are. it truly is a captivating story!! there are ups and downs, and the way the couple comes together through it all is just incredible!! my favorite part is when you say "when i came out of the garage, you and steve were standing there all straight faced, men in black style, but when you looked at me you couldnt keep a straight face, and you cracked into a smile, ah that smile, the same smile i still see today gave me butterflies for the first time in that moment, and it still does so today. all i could do was hug you. i was physically drawn to you in that moment for the first time, and it definitly wasnt the last." something like that, and i just puts such a huge smile on my face!!!!!!
im sorry the party life isnt so great.. and im sorry that your teammates are dumb.. partying is stupid, and it doesnt help anything.. just focus on what it is that you want, and dont let anything get in your way..
i love you more and more everyday.. like you said it is like a renewed feeling of loving you.. i appreciate more and more every moment that we had together, and i am going to do everything possible to always love and adore every moment that we get to share together in the future. but that is true also, that it doesnt really hurt anymore, i seriously get butterflies now.. i feel like i just barely met you, and everytime i think about being in your presence gives me butterflies, and i feel like such a dork.. but i love you. and i cannot wait for the moment that i will get to see those big beautiful blue eyes staring back at mine ;)
i love that picture too!! i have it taped up on the wall with a few others.. i have also done that.. i kinda just look at a few every now and again to make me smile. i also carry the one of you and me at my graduation in my scriptures, and i see it every time i open them.. i have sooo many pictures of us! i only have like 3 of the ones that you took on your camera. but i have all of the ones from mine..
speaking of pictures, i was looking at them the other day, and i was laughing at the one from your 16th birthday.. were you serious when you said i LOVE your hair? or were you laughing at me because i look like an idiot?? haha
you are welcome for always respecting you. you are the queen of my heart, and that is the way i will ALWAYS treat you.. i set the bar high, because i knew that i was going to be gone for 2 years, and i didnt want anyone outdoing me... haha but i only did it because i knew how lucky I was to have you in my life..
i love you sooooooooooooooo much chloe calton, thank you for visiting me in my dreams, it makes this time away from you more tolerable.
love frever,
your chase

Hi baby :)
So have you gotten the letter yet?? If you
have, I am sorry it was so dramatic. I hope it didn't ruin your day or anything
:( If you haven't, I am sorry I am making you think about it.
39 miles this week! I am improving really fast
now. I went on an 8 miler on Wednesday with some of the girls and we killed it!
We trucked up this hill for a solid 2 miles and then FLEW down the other side!
It was so so much fun! I stayed up with a couple of the faster girls, which
makes me a faster girl too ;) However yesterdays run, my calves cramped up so
so so bad that my feet went numb and it hurt for like 6 miles. No bueno. We
race in less than 2 weeks!! If I end up racing that is. I think I am going to
just because I can and it will whip me into racing mode for track. Soooo
stoked.
How are Lesly and Karina?? Hopefully
progressing??
Of course I will send you chapstick! I am
waiting for something to come to me in the mail for the package, then i will
send it your way. I am hoping to send it by Wednesday, hopefully it will get to
you by your birfday :)
Haha, some days I feel pretty, some days not :)
I dyed my hair a couple weeks ago, that was fun. I was looking at the pictures
of us the week before you left and, honestly, I feel most pretty in those
pictures :)
I wasn't making fun of your 17 year old hair! I
think it was cute :) But I also think it looks like you are 17, and now you are
almost 20! So I like your short hair now :)
Where ever you decide to go to school, you will
do really well, I am sure. I have just found that what ever I make of this
experience is what it will turn out to be (obvious I guess). So I make the very
best of it!
Guess what? Last Sunday was ward conference and
President Williams, our stake president challenged us to read the BOM everyday
(this is old news because that is something we are supposed to do anyway, but I
took it to heart) so I started the book over and I am reading everyday. But I
don't just read it, I actually study it! And I like it! It's good stuff. I also
feel like there is something for me in every chapter that relates directly to
my patriarchal blessing. And I am starting the 3 month experiment on
friday so I will finish on Christmas. Whoohoo! Oh and this friday is Avery's
birthday! She is 15! Weird. My baby sister is all grown up :( So if you want,
you can give her a shout out and I will send it to her.
I am glad you still like the book :) I was
thinking the other day how bad I wish I could read it! But I have the original
in my journal! (Don't send it back or anything cause if it got lost I would
die) Oh, and you know how that old purple journal I had covered all of high school??
Well the journal I am currently keeping started in December 2008 and I have
already filled it more than half way. And it is a bigger book than the purple
one.. its a gold mine :)
I talked to Meg yesterday and she sounds like
she is doing really well. I haven't talked to Clark in a while either. I did
text him a while ago and he is back in school and working at Zumies as
assistant manager or something and he doesn't work at Olive Garden anymore.
You probably knew that though.
There are definitely some great movies out.
However, more and more movies that come out are... just not high quality I
guess. I have opted out of seeing like 5 movies with friends since I have been
in Boulder because they are rated R. And there are some movies that I don't see
because they should be rated R. It's a rare occasion when a good movie comes
out these days. But I am keeping a list for you to pick from so you don't miss
anything :)
So funny story... I am starting a food storage!
Haha, I feel so so old! But we had a lesson on how the prophets don't just say
things like "keep food storage" for fun. They say it because it's
necessary. So, I am going to start with like a can of rice and a jar of peanut
butter :)
I miss you Chase. I miss you a lot. I miss
being able to say 'Chase' and have you look at me from the other side of the
room and give me all of you attention. I miss being your little tag along at
the fireworks. I miss being able to just be with you. But it's ok, because
those days will come again. Sooner than we think :)
Have a happy Prep day
Love Jo

Letter???
Maybe??? Tell me what you think.... if you want to.
I
ended up dropping some miles this week. I did 34 because I had to skip 2 days
because I was ill. I just a had a wicked sore throat and headache and my
coaches told me to sit out on a workout. Bummer, but I am feeling better and I
get to do 45 miles this next week! Yay! (I am not even being sarcastic, I am
stoked to vamp it up a bit.) We race this weekend here in Boulder, The Rocky
Mountain Invitational. It's our host meet. First meet of college career, yay!
Wish me luck. My goal is to beat Camille and Stacy, two other freshmen on the
team that I am sometimes ahead of in workouts, sometimes behind. We will see!
Did
Karina get baptised?? Guess what I did!!! This morning on our run one of my
teammates asked me if I go to church on Sundays and it turned into a 30 minute
conversation and she asked me to get her a copy of the Book of Mormon AND the
D+C!!!!! AND she might come to a session of conference with me at the institute
building!!!!!!! YAY!
Haha,
did you get the thing from your mom?? I bet she thought I was a total weirdo
for writing that. But its ok cause you get it! I honestly was worried you might
have forgotten, don't hate me!
Yay!
I love the Shabang plan :)
Haha,
when I talked to Meg about her and Jeff I was going to die! I personally think
it is hilarious, given that he leaves on a mission soon and I think it would
make his whole life to have a girl as good as Megs like him. Haha, too bad
she's not into it. (Actually I am very relieved she's not)
Soo
stoked for conference. Love it. I am sure you get to watch it right?? Where?
So
I love having missionaries in my ward. They are so super sweet and they let me
know a little bit what you are doing down there. There is an elder that just
got home in a family ward near by and he was in Chile! But he was in Vina Del
Mar west. It's funny cause all the girls here are smitten by at least one of
the elders and it's hilarious because this one girl has a boyfriend and I think
she talks about this missionary more than her current boy. These girls aren't
used to having good boys around very often. It makes me appreciate having grown
up in Utah because they act kind of weird around boys. And I think they are all
planning on getting married like tomorrow.
Oh
ya! My dad came out for the day yesterday and it was so so so fun! We spent the
day seeing Boulder and I got to show him my dorm and campus and it was great!
And he took me out for lunch and dinner so I didn't have to eat in the dining
halls! Love him! Then he flew down to Cedar to see Lauren and Sean's place
(finally). They have only lived there for like a few months! Busy guy though.
Oh
and I went to the general relief society broadcast. It made me feel all old and
such. But there was some great things said. However I was disappointed,
President Monson didn't speak. Next weekend I guess!
And
I am in a book club! A girl from my institute organized a Jane Austin book club
so I will read one of her books every month. Haha, I feel all
intellectual.
Sorry
this week is short, I am making sure I get 9 hours of sleep every night this
week so I race well on Saturday so I have to head to bed. Your package will be
in the mail tomorrow!!! (I know, I am late on everything) I hope you like
it :)
You
are a stud. Enough said.
Love
Chloe
PS
Dont be scared. I don't really look as retarded in real life as I do in that
picture. That is yesterday when my daddy visited. He bought me a hoodie :)

hey sweetheart,
so i didnt get the letter.. i think i am gonna get it at transfers haha.. i think this is oficially the longest i have ever waited for a letter in my life haha. but it will get here =)
im sorry you were sick.. that bites.. its cold season here in chile, and everyone is getting sick.. im like one of the only people i know that isnt sick haha..
good luck baby!!!!!!!! run fast haha
karina didnt get bapptized yet. she wasnt ready.. but wow!! you go you big missionary you!!! great work!! keep me informed about what happens with your friend.
i havent gotten anything from my mom, so i have no idea what you are talking about.. haha i will let you know as soon as i get all this stuff..
im glad you love the shabang plan.. it will be fabulous ;)
haha meggy moo.. she makes me laugh.
i am stoooked for conference. we go to chillan to watch it with all of the missionaries in my zone.. it will be awesome, we get to eat pizza too!!! i loooove pizza, and it is a rare occasion when i get to eat it here.
that´s funny that everyone has the hots for one of the missionaries there.. that is what us missionaries call a "snake." haha let them all get married like tomorrow.. i would just prefer that you wait a little longer to get married hahaha.. at least like a year ;)
cool that your dad went out to visit.. sounds like you had fun.. i didnt ever spend a lot of time with him, but i miss him.. i really admire him a lot. i have looked up to him a lot as far as what he has done with his career. ever since i decided that i wanted to go into orthopedics i have thought about all of the success he has had, and truly admire him. im not creepin, so dont hate me.. its just impressive
i heard the relief society broadcast was way good.. did you learn some good stuff??
book clubs are fun.. i love reading. i think i would enjoy something like that.. you´ll have to let me know how the books are..
haha its ok if the letters are short, i just LOVE hearing from you each week. it always makes me smile..
i will let you know all about the package, and the letters when they get to me..
so my story for this week is a bit of a tear jerker and a huge testimony builder.. hope you like it.
last week we had the opportunity to give a blessing to an old man with alsheimers disease named claudio. in the blessing i was prompted to say that he would recuperate his strength, and that he would be able to remember the things from his life, and that this would no longer be a struggle for him... his family members are all non members and after the blessing they all stared at me unbelievingly, and i myself was a little shocked at what i had said... when we went to visit on friday night, one of the family members opened the door with a very unsettled look on her face, and everyone in the family room had wierd looks on their faces, and they said, "come here, you need to see something." i was absolutely horrified that i was going to go back and find claudio in the same state or worse than he was before. however, as we got closer to his room, i heard singing. when they opened the door, to my amazement, there was claudio, dressed, clean shaven, and smiling, sitting on the edge of his bed gently strumming his guitar and singing one of the most beautiful reditions of "how great thou art" that i have ever heard.. with tears steadily streaming down my cheeks, all i could do was quietly thank my father in heaven for hearing and answering the words of a humble servant.. this beautiful experience was a huge testimony builder for me.. as i was reading my patriarchal blessing on sunday morning i reread the part where it says that i will have opportunity, as directed by the sprit, to use the priesthood to heal others.. again with a greatful heart and with the words of the hymn "Grande Eres Tu" and claudio´s gentle voice playing in my mind, all i could think was,"oh lord my god.. how great thou art."
this truly is the true church of god on the earth. the power of the priesthood is real. i love the opportunities that i have everyday to feel the spirit, and witness the hand of god working in peoples lives. i am so greatful for the opportunity i have to be a missionary. i am greatful for all of the blessings this service provides me and my loved ones. i know of a surety that god lives and loves and knows all of us on an individual, intimate level.
i love you chloe calton. you are the angel of my life, and the queen of my heart.. thank you for being so wonderful.
my love forever,
chase

If
you are still online, I am too. I don't even know what to say. That was the
most fantastic email I have ever received. It made me think of when before you
left and you dad said to you, "You are a good man." You really are a
good man Chase. The fact that you were able to deliver that blessing and that
the Lord blessed that man the way he did means that you are in tune with Him.
That is the single greatest blessing I think anyone on this earth can have. I
loved hearing about that, thank you for sharing it with me :)
Love
you.

...I
would keep you in my pocket and never trade you for anything :)
Hey
hun :)
Haha,
awesome picture! Why so serious?? Those sunglasses are funny :) Because of
something you said, I thought you had gotten your mama's package. When you get
it I will explain myself.
Luckily
I wasn't sick too long, just a couple days of a really sore throat. Don't get
sick!!! That would be terrible. Be so careful about icky germs.
The
race-- Rocky Mountain Shootout, our only home cross country meet. I got 42nd,
11th from my team and I ran the 5.8 k course in 23:40 (Incase you
don't know, that isn't very good). I wanted to be closer to Camille, she was
about 40 seconds ahead of me. But I was glad to get the first race out of the
way. I figured that I have only had about 3 quality weeks of training since my
knee has been healthy, and I have bumped my milage a lot so I wasn't in race
condition. I am trying to think of it positively, but i was still disappointed
that I didn't feel better. My calves were soooooo sore this morning, and they
still are. But thats how race season goes I guess! It's a lot different being
in the big leagues, but i am excited about the challenge!
My
friend didn't come to conference with me :( but I still have the BOM for her
and hopefully she will crack it open and be interested! Are there any versus I
should highlight or anything before I give it to her?? I need your missionary
help.
Mom,
Zach and Ave came to visit me this weekend. They got in Thursday
night and left today. That was really good to see them. They got to see me
run and we got to see the town and spend some time together! So fun.
Conference,
how was pizza?!-- I was racing during the first session, and my family wanted
to tour Boulder rather than watch the second session. I was bummed,
but I figured they came to visit me so I should keep them happy. I am going to
watch the talks I missed online and read them in the future and stuff. I saw
the Sunday morning one, it was very good! I really like what all the
speakers had to say, but I think I liked Bishop Burton's the most. The whole
Virtuous Living theme was good. I had to take my family to the airport for
a 3:30 flight so I missed the afternoon session again. I know, I am
terrible! Don't hate me, I will be studying them a bunch in the next little
while.
The
Relief Society meeting was really cool. I enjoyed all the talks! But a general
theme was being involved in Relief Society and being 'holy women' and having
charity. They talked a lot about how the benefits of RS are sometimes just
being there to be surrounded by righteous women and learn from each other. And
they also talked about how if a woman is holy, she can maintain peace in her
home. That is something I really really want to be good at :)
Do
you have the letter yet? If you don't, I am going to either write another
letter with the same stuff in it, or just put it in an email, which ever you
prefer.
Ok,
I am going to say again, that was the most perfect email ever. I just loved it.
It put the biggest smile on my face. I love knowing that you are doing well
down there, and it sounded like you couldn't have been doing any better at that
moment. Thank you for living worthy so you can exercise your priesthood and
choosing to do so. (One day when we are older, we are going to read this email
again. At that time, ask me why I was so so happy to hear that you are a
faithful priesthood bearer).
K,
so how is Karina?? Yes, no? I have been praying for her!!
So,
Alli is having her baby around Thanksgiving. It's a boy, Jace. I have heard a
bunch of different stuff, but the latest is that she is planning on marrying
her scum bag boyfriend before the baby comes, then he is going to the army,
leaving her at home with nothing except his child. So, you should pray for her.
Her parents have talked to me and my parents about it and we are all hoping she
decides to give her baby up for adoption, or at least doesn't marry Darren. I
just hope she is praying about it herself.
I
have some midterms this week, scary! I am really nervous. I really want to keep
a high GPA and midterms are huge chunks of most of my grades. Ahhh!
Tell
me how your week went baby :) What did you like most about conference? (besides
the pizza of course ;) How is your current situation treating you?
I
miss being with you. I was telling Emily the other day (her birthday is today)
that one of the hardest things about being here is that I lack for a best
friend. Shalaya and I don't always click ya know?? I love my team mates, but I
haven't gotten to be bff with anyone yet. But you have been there I am sure. So
we are in it together :)
I
love you Chase. I promise :)
Love
Jo

hey boo..(haha that sounds so.... mexican haha)
if i were a dollar... i would spend myself, because lots of times i get way hungry, and at wendy´s you can buy 5 chicken nuggets for 99 cents=) but thank you for keeping you in your pocket.. it´s kinda dark, but at least i always get to be with you ;)
haha im glad you liked the picture.. i had the serious face, becasue if i smiled, the glasses fell of my head cuz they are broken... haha
oh i got you with the whole package thing.. i still haven´t gotten it, but today are cambios, and i think i will get everything on wednesday.. including your letter(s)..
hey i got like the smae sick thing that you did.. my throat hurt for like 3 days, and now im fine.. part of me loving you, is that i always want to feel like you do so that i can always know how to make you feel better.. but that also includes me being happy when you are.. it makes the whole love thing more... special.. i like it!!
hey, so i have to say before anything else that i am sooooooo proud of you!!!!! you are officially a college athlete! you already have your first big race under your belt, and now you´ll just get better and better!!! sometimes things dont turn out the way we want them to, but we have all of those experiences to help us learn and improve!! so just do what you can(and a little bit extra) and you´re going to progress to the point where you want to be!!
so with your friend.. there are lots of different scriptures that you could give her, but it depends on what you want her to understand.. for example if you want her to read and pray about the book of mormon, give her Moroni 10:3-5.. or if you want her to understand the importance of baptism by immersion, give her 2 Nefi chapter 31 or 3 Nefi chapter 11.. there´s lots of good stuff.. just let me know exactly what you want her to understand, and i can supply you with a long list of great scriptures to share with her...
so conference(without pizza =( ) was GREAT!!!!!!! i love love loved it!!! i had such a blast, and i learned soooo much!! one of my favorite talks was by elder holland.. he spoke about the book of mormon.. it would be great to show it to your friend.. i will have to study the talks more thoroughly when the liahona gets to me.. and then i will pinpoint my favorites.. but ya for sure you need to watch it!! it was incredible!!
haha i am possitive that you will be a holy woman, and that you will be able to keep peace in the home.. even when me and the rugrats are destroying furniture and playing and being loud, you will be able to maintain a quiet peace in the home.. haha unless you are playing and wrestling too(which i am 100% sure you will be doing haha).
haha i am glad you enjopyed last weeks letter.. i dont know why it was so special, but im still glad you liked it.. sometimes i really LOVE your emails, and i dont know that it matters so much what you say in each one that makes it so special to me.. i think it is more the reassurance that i feel when i read each week that you are ok, and that you still are crazy about me.. it makes being away from you much more tollerable.
karina....... was baptized last night!!! i will throw in a picture of that for you!! thanks for the prayers, they were much needed..
wow alli.... i will keep her in my prayers.. hopefully she doesnt make too many more decisions that she is going to regret later on.. keep me posted..
midterms!!!!! already?!! i swear you just started the semester... wow. good luck my dear!! study hard and you will be fine.. let me know how you do.
this last week was sooo great!! i dont know how to explain it exactly, but i could feel myself progressing a TON!! it was wierd. i just truly felt a change of heart. it was soo great!! and conference was incredible. i prayed for days in advance that my heart and mind would be ready to recieve all of the instructions that i need in my life, and it was like the heavens opened up and just dumped personal revelation into my soul.. it was such a wonderful experience, and a huge testimony builder..
as far as the currest situation is concerned.. it is now changing.. im getting transferred out of bulnes to a city called tomé(tomay).. it is a big sector of huge, rolling, green hills. it is a ward also. so that will be my first time in a ward in the last year.. im also training.. i meet the new companion tomorrow morning.. and i also got called as district leader! i am gonna have a ton of responsibility thrown on my back, but im excited, and i feel like i am ready for the new challenge..
i miss you too.. i would love to be able to have my best friend with me during all of these crazy changes and big steps in life.. and just as much as i would love to have you here with me, i would loooooove to be there with you!! but, we dont have to wait for too much longer, and once again we can be together through all of the ups and downs that this crazy life can throw at us =)
i love you bear. you know i will forever.
love, chase

...
you'd be the right guy, and I'd be the best friend that you would fall in love
with. In the end we'd be laughing, watching the sunset. Fade to black, show the
names, play that happy song. (Get it?? the end of a movie?? Haha, it's the
lyrics to a Miley Cirus song!)
Hi
Honey, how are you doing this fine Monday?
First,
Happy Birthday!!! If you were home, you could expect a text message at 12:01 am
on the 14th, but we will just pretend :) I want to be the first one to tell you
no battle!! What are you going to do on your birfday?? Do you get to do
anything for it? I hope someone makes you a cake or something fantastic!
Second,
happy one year!!!! Apparently it's called the hump day, but that sounds so
weird. It makes me think of a camel, and camels are gross. So I am just calling
it the one year day! Are you going to burn a shirt or anything?? I hear some
presidents don't let that happen anymore, or I guess you could decide your
shirt is worth more than a chance to burn a shirt. Let me know what you will be
doing on the 15th!!
(Side
note--- The last time I saw you with my own eyes was around 1 am on the 15th.
You were singing called to serve as you walked into your house with your
sleeves rolled up and tie undone. The front door was open because it was
against the rules for us to be alone, so your dad supervised our awkward little
hug :) I drove away in the sequoia, crying the whole way of course, trying to
imagine what the next day would be like.. and the 2 years that followed. When I
ran region cross country the next day, I had a very hard time focussing. And
when the race was over, I called you as you were driving to the MTC and we
talked for a couple minutes. Then I sat on a little hill and cried some more.
My mom got it on camera I think, and I believe I sent you the picture.
That
night, I went to your house and got my first rose. I am 2 short right now
because I have yet to see your family in a few months. I get 3 at Thanksgiving!
I talked to you parents about us. I think I was there for about an hour, just
us 3, gushing. That friday, I went down to a football game, but it had just
ended. I waited in my car for the girls and we went to Jakes over the top.
Hailey and I stayed in the car and I sort of lost it. I remember being
physically sick over you leaving. I think I was just so happy in the few days
before you left that i didn't have time to be sad, besides after you got set
apart, so it all came out in the next few days. However....
It's
half way done :) I don't want to say its almost "over" because you are
doing a good thing, not just enduring it, but enjoying it. I don't want to make
you trunky or seem like I just want it to be over because I am happy for what
you are doing. But I wont lie, I am happy that we are on the down hill :)
Haha,
hows that for a side note!!
So,
this week it snowed here!! Shalaya and I ate ice cream as we walked through the
snow in 17 degree weather... in my red coat :) PS everyone loves my coat and it
reminds me of how much you loved my coat. Anyway, that was super fun! We had recruits
here and we had to entertain them, that was fun. Ummm, I made a Pina Colada on
Saturday night, so yummy! I can't remember if I have told you this already, but
it's official, I am red shirting. Track is going to be epic! Oh ya! I got an A-
on my first paper on the theories of time, yay! I also got an A on my first
midterm in economics! And I have a midterm in stats tomorrow and a midterm in
calculus and a midterm in philosophy on tuesday. So many tests!! I am going to
hit 49-59 miles this week, whoohoo!!
Haha,
you are funny :) I will most def be in on the wrestling.
Yay
Karina!!
Alli
and I talked... "If things go as planned..." what ever that means,
she and Darren are getting married on November 7th and her baby will come a few
weeks later. I am dying inside.
Tome!!
How is it? Who is your comp?? District Leader! Wow! Well done honey bunch, you
must be doing a few things right! How are all of the changes??
I
am so glad to hear that you are progressing a ton! That is seriously so so
awesome. It's funny, I feel the same way :) I gave the BOM to Kristin. I high
lighted a few scriptures- one in ether about weaknesses being made strong,
Moroni 10, and a couple others. She came to institute with me too! and she said
she has started reading the book and she said she liked it! Hopefully that will
keep progressing!
I
have to get to bed, I have an enormous headache for some reason. But I love
you, have a splendid week, and keep doing well!
Love
Chloe
PS
The picture is of us after running in in the snow and mud! We had mud covering
our legs and backs! It was awesome!! I hope you can tell which one is me! I am
right in the middle. And the other is Shalaya and I enjoying Ben and Jerry in
the snow :)

Hey!
How long are you here for??
Monday,
October 19, 2009 12:02 PM
Hey!
Sorry
I am dork. I sat down to write your email and I got distracted by a running
magazine for like an hour, oops!
So
it's been a good week, ish. I was a little sick, but I am over it. I missed a
practice, so that was no good. But I ran hard yesterday and felt awesome...
until this morning when I woke up with some killer knee pain right where is
used to be... I am scared that it's back. Say a huge prayer please :) I have
been fighting this way too long for it to come back now. I am going to talk to
coach about it before practice today.
So
I was talking to Morgan, a cute girl from my ward, yesterday and I found out
that she a has a serious boyfriend at BYU that she is pretty sure she is going
to marry soon. She is going to visit him this weekend and we talked about out
men for a solid hour, it was fun :) I am glad to have found someone who loves a
boy even at 18. That's very uncommon here. People are all about hookups and
stuff, so I am so glad I have a friend to relate to!
I
am inviting Kristin to institute this week, wish me luck! And Camille randomly
texted me after church yesterday and asked if she could come with me next week!
Yay! It was very surprising because she doesn't seem like a churchy person ya
know? But I am excited to take her with me!!!
How's
the work going down there? New Comp? New area? District leader? How's it all
going?
I
race this weekend (if my knee isn't broken) in Denver so I am way stoked for
that. But I am mostly stoked that I am going home this week on Wednesday to
watch Avery run state!!!!!!! I seriously could not be more excited. I am
surprising her, she doesn't know i am coming! I am flying out Wednesday
morning, watching her run, probably go to dinner with my family, then fly back
and be back in Boulder by 9 that night, crazy huh? I would give anything to see
this race!! So I am so excited to be able to go. Avery won region against
Kelsey Braithwaite, a sophomore who won state in the 3200 last spring and has
been winning all the invitationals so basically avery is a stud!! I guess
Kelsey had the flu, but still, I am freaking out because Ave has a chance to
win state as a freshman! WHOOOOOT!
I
am registering for spring classes today, and I think I am going to start
spanish so I can decide if I want to double major, yay!
Sorry
it's short today, lame I know. But I love you and I hope you have a fantastic
week!
I
assume you didn't get my present yet???
LOVE!!

October 19, 2009 1:57 PM
hey

im glad you let a magazine distract you more than the letter to your boyfriend =( haha just kiddin its fine.. im just glad that i was able to be here when the letter got to me.. how was the magazine?? did you find anything cool that you are going to buy/do?
wow, i am soo sad to hear about your knee.. that is so lame!! i will say a big fat powerful heartfelt prayer to have your knee get better.
i am also glad that you were able to talk to someone that is in a halfway similar situation like yours.. it always makes me smile way big when i hear that you were talking about me.. i dont know why, cuz it kinda makes me feel halfway egotistical when i say it, but i love to hear that you were talking about me..
speaking of people being in love.. did you hear about jen daniels???!!! she is getting married on like the 17th of december.. crazy huh?? she is marrying that missionary that was in the sector where she lives.. wierd huh??

the sector and my new son and the responsibilities are all great!! i love the mission, and i love where i am.. i cant believe that the time is going soo fast!! but it will be a fun ride...

He
smiles it's like the radio.... Stay Beautiful.
(I
am being creepy with song lyrics :)
Hey,
I
think emails from you to me take a little longer than normal. Some weeks I
don't get them till like 9 pm. But it's no bug deal, thats why I was confused
though.
I
am so glad you liked the package!! It was fun putting it together.
Haha, the magazine was runner's world, and I just couldn't help it! I am such a nerd. I won't be getting anything from it, but I like reading about other runners and what they do to get better.

So...
A couple weeks ago I told you I had strep. I was on antibiotics right away and
was feeling better within 36 hours. I finished the cycle of antibiotics on
friday. THEN, Saturday night I had a ridiculously enormous headache, and it
lasted all day sunday too. But then last night I started getting chills and a
fever and my throat freaked out. So I went to the doctor this morning and she
said I have strep again, but it's much worse this time. I can't eat or drink
anything because I literally cannot swallow. I hurts sooooooooooo bad :( I am
just really sick of having to go to my coach and having him say, how are you
feeling, and I have to say, I actually feel like death. Anyway, my right tonsil
is huuuuuuge and I wouldn't even complain if they said they needed to take them
out because I don't ever want to feel this way again. So now I am on the
stronger antibiotics. I am done complaining.
My
knee.. so I was really careful and did lots of treatments this week to get the
pain to stop, and it worked! So I go to race on Saturday and I did pretty well!
It was a 6k course, 3.75 miles, and It was a little hilly and on damp grass,
which is code for really slow course. Mark thinks they even measured the course
too long. Anyway, I was 3rd for CU. (3rd of all the girls who are red shirting).
The varsity didn't race that time because they have Big 12 conference this
saturday in New Mexico. I was only about 50 seconds behind Shalaya this time.
It sounds like a lot, and it kind of is, but I am getting closer to her fast! I
was like 90 seconds behind her at the Shootout 3 weeks ago. I also beat camille
and Diana this time. Sweet! Now if I can stop getting sick, I will be so happy!
Mark says that if I was a greek a long time ago, I would say that I am being
tested by the Gods, so I better pass the test and not give up because I get
sick so often lately. Haha, love Mark.
Ya!
I did hear about Jen! Byron Arnegard is his name, and he baptized Emily while
he was here! They are so darn cute. But sweet moses Jen is young.
I
got to go home to watch Avery WIN STATE!!! Yep, she won 4A cross country. She
ran perfectly! My whole family cried, best day ever!! She ran 12 seconds faster
on that course than I have ever run it, ya, she is making me look bad! Haha,
but i wouldn't have it any other way. You should have seen her face when she
crossed the tape- priceless. She had the biggest smile on! So so so sweet. It
was the first time in a long time that my whole family has been together, since
like Lauren's wedding I think. We all went to dinner after and my parents were
nice to each other! Weird! I guess they still haven't signed anything to make
it final. Who knows what will happen know i guess.
I
will put letters in plastic bags from now on.
Anything
specific you want for Christmas?
I
am going to take a nap before I kill over and die. Love you. If you were home I
would surely have you give me a blessing, and just knowing that you could makes
me feel better :) Chloe

congratulations on your race!! im glad you feel good about how it went.. i know almost nothing about cross country, so i have no idea what your time means and what not, but if you are happy, i am too ;) i hope the greek gods are pleased with your efforts haha..
byron arnegard.. i have heard a tiny about him from i dont remember who, but it seems like someone said he is like sweedish i think.. and that he was like a billionaire.. i dont know though..
i am sooo sooo happy for avril!!! she is such a little machine huh? you will have to give her a big hug for me when you see her and tell her congrats for me.. and if you can get your hands on a picture of her precious face when she crossed the finish line, you should totally send it to me!!!! i would love to see it..
im glad to hear your parents were getting along like big kids. that is a good thing. i truly hope and pray that everything will work out for the best.
i hope you have sweet dreams, and that maybe in those dreams i will be there taking care of you while you lie upon your death bed =) if i was there i would totally be at your side to get you whatever you need. you know that ;)
i love you chloe calton. i love you so so very much.
i hope this letter finds you happy and hopefully feeling a little bit better!

Hey Chase,
Sorry I have been dumb the last 2 weeks. I
think unless I send it Sunday night it doesn't get to you in time. For some
reason there is a time laps in sending and receiving your emails.
I was talking to my coaches about stuff and they brought up the
fact that I get sick a lot and I am really bugged that I can't stay healthy. I
am better now though. Cross your fingers that I am done getting sick for a long
long time. My knee is doing 80% good, sometimes it freaks out. And I have this
new pain on the outside of my right foot, which doesn't sound too bad and it's
not, but when distance runners get foot pain, it's nooo good at all. There have
been like 6 people in walking boots for various periods of time on my team
because of stress fractures and stress reactions and stuff so I am being really
careful. The high altitude makes us especially prone to issues like that. But
so far, I have avoided the boot plague. I told my mom what you said about
getting my tonsils removed and she is looking into it. The problem is when to
do it. I can't afford to take 3 weeks off even during the summer. We haven't
decided if we are going to do it, but thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks, I really did love racing finally. It
kind of reminded me why I run :) I don't race again until December 9th, and
it's a time trial.
Yes he is swedish and yes I hear he is very
wealthy. Other than that, all I know is that Emily says he is a
sweetheart.
Avery is most def a machine! I just love her!
Avery, Lauren, Zach and I keep pretty close even thought we are spread out a
little bit. I really have never appreciated my family more than now, when I
dont get to be around them. I am sooooo excited for Thanksgiving so I can see
them. But I shouldn't even be talking, you are a veteran at this game. Do you
keeo in good contact with your brother and sister?
Did you get the picture of Avery? SO cute huh?
Love love love.
LAUREN AND SEAN got a dog!!!! They got a baby
bulldog and named him Tank :) I have only seen pictures, but he is so cute!
It's weird to me that you haven't seen them as a married couple. It seems like
they have been married forevvver.
Did I tell you that my dad lives in Shadow
Valley now? I think that may have been on the tape. I haven't seen his house
yet, but apparently it's pretty nice. I will take pictures when I go visit
him!
So was there any sort of Halloween stuff done
in Chile? An Australian girl, Mel, lives across the hall from me and she had
never been trick or treating or dress up or anything because they don't have
Halloween in Australia! Weird. I was a 1920's flapper girl on friday for an
institute party. I got called the the institute counsel so I helped put on a
murder mystery dinner and it really was fun! On Halloween I was a leopard.
Lauren had given me a costume she wore when she was in college so I wore that.
It was fun, but Halloween has never been my favorite holiday ya know? Some
friends and I went to Pearl street, like main street in PC, and there were some
crazy costumes. They call it the Mall Crawl, cause every year hundreds of
people congregate to Pearl for the Naked Pumpkin Run! People will wear pumpkins
on their heads and run the street naked, haha. But there were many many cops so
it didn't happen till much later after we had left. Next week the is the Nearly
Naked Mile. Its a Boulder tradition where people wear all the clothes they want
to donate to charity and they give them all at the start and then run a race
nearly naked! I don't know what constitutes nearly naked, but I guess we will see.
I think our whole team will do the race.
Over all my week was good. I have a heavy load
of school this week so hopefully that goes well. I registered for spring
classes, yay! Mostly just required generals and prereqs for business classes.
Still thinking about spanish, but it's a 5 credit class so I don't think it wil
fit.
How's everything going down south?? We had a
HUGE storm here this week. 12 inches of snow in like 36 hours, Whoohoo!! But it
all melted pretty quick. It was awesome though. Tell me all about you week! I
can't wait to get your letter!
Love you miss you :)

Last night I had a dream… that we were on a yacht in lake
powell, and we were laying up on the bow listening to enya. it was a great
dream, one that i hope i can reapeat at least one more time..
hey chlo,
im so glad to hear that this week you arent sick!! haha but you know what that means right?? you guessed it, i am sick!! haha i got some nasty caugh that everyone is telling me has to do with alergies of some sort, so i am now on some heavy anti caugh medecine, and it makes me way sleepy, so at least now i can sleep.. when you cant sleep as a missionary, life isnt very much fun haha. but now i feel a lot better!! hopefully it will just leave me alone now. i hate being sick. and i hope that you and your lower half of your body can get feeling better. i dont want to hear that you are walking around in a big black boot!! haha so funny story, this morning, i jumped off the top bunk, and when i landed, my toe like cracked, and when i looked at it like three hours later, it was all blue and purple!! i think i might have broken my toe!! and it hurts really bad, but the only thing i can do is just tough it out.. im over it =) im sure i will survive this one haha.
keep me posted with the tonsil dealy, i might just have to send you ice cream(i dont know what it would look like when i got there, but we´ll see).
i would say i am excited for thanksgiving, but the truth is that there isnt really anything to look forward to.. they dont do much here, so i am thinking it will be pretty lame.. but after that, i will get to talk to you like a month later!!! so i will just look forward to that ;)
i do keep in touch a little bit with clark and meg. not a ton, but enough to know that they both still are alive..
wow, i loved the picture of avril!! she looks sooooooo happy!! that is way stinking cool.. i will look forward to maybe being there next year when she wins again!!
holy cow, i think i would love to have a bulldog.. but i think i would sell it after like 2 months haha.. ya i havent really known those two as a married couple.. kinda wierd, but still way cool!!
ya you told me about your dad´s house, i would love to see it..
halloween was lame here.. they hardly do anything..
sounds like you enjoyed your halloween festivities.. i would imagine there would have been lots of fun parties and such.. you´ll have to tell me how that all was.
the nearly naked thing sounds interesting.. you´ll have to invite ethan and mason. im sure they would love that haha
im glad to hear that you are staying way busy.. that always keeps things interesting.. haha i cant believe taht you are already registering for classes again.. i swear you just did that like a few weeks ago!! time goes way tooo fast..
if spanish doesnt fit, you will have your own personal spanish teacher in like 11 and a half months, and im sure you will learn faster that way than you would by just taking a class... maybe.. but anyway i will see what i can do haha..
it rained a bunch here this week.. it was pretty lame, but that is kinda what happens in the spiring time here. i would just like it to get warm now.. im sick of the rain.
not a lot to say this week.. not much has happened..
i love you chloe. thanks for all of your love and support..
love always,

hey chlo,
im so glad to hear that this week you arent sick!! haha but you know what that means right?? you guessed it, i am sick!! haha i got some nasty caugh that everyone is telling me has to do with alergies of some sort, so i am now on some heavy anti caugh medecine, and it makes me way sleepy, so at least now i can sleep.. when you cant sleep as a missionary, life isnt very much fun haha. but now i feel a lot better!! hopefully it will just leave me alone now. i hate being sick. and i hope that you and your lower half of your body can get feeling better. i dont want to hear that you are walking around in a big black boot!! haha so funny story, this morning, i jumped off the top bunk, and when i landed, my toe like cracked, and when i looked at it like three hours later, it was all blue and purple!! i think i might have broken my toe!! and it hurts really bad, but the only thing i can do is just tough it out.. im over it =) im sure i will survive this one haha.
keep me posted with the tonsil dealy, i might just have to send you ice cream(i dont know what it would look like when i got there, but we´ll see).
i would say i am excited for thanksgiving, but the truth is that there isnt really anything to look forward to.. they dont do much here, so i am thinking it will be pretty lame.. but after that, i will get to talk to you like a month later!!! so i will just look forward to that ;)
i do keep in touch a little bit with clark and meg. not a ton, but enough to know that they both still are alive..
wow, i loved the picture of avril!! she looks sooooooo happy!! that is way stinking cool.. i will look forward to maybe being there next year when she wins again!!
holy cow, i think i would love to have a bulldog.. but i think i would sell it after like 2 months haha.. ya i havent really known those two as a married couple.. kinda wierd, but still way cool!!
ya you told me about your dad´s house, i would love to see it..

hey babe,
i am sooooooo glad to hear that you are no longer sick! haha but you know what that means right?? ha i was sick allll week. well all four of us in the house got sick, and we all just felt like dying all week long.. we think we got the pig flu.. ya it sucked wayyy bad. we were all just throwing up all week long.. now i feel a ton better, but im still scared to eat anything, because i dont want to throw up anymore..
believe it or not, im glad you are going to see the doctor.. hopefully he can figure something out, because i think you would be better off getting them out at some point, becasuse it would be better to not feel so good for like a week or two instead of constantly being sick, you know what i mean??
i kind of imagined the naked mile would be something like that.. but like you say, it´s something that would be fun to experience like once haha.
i truly cant believe that you are already coming up on finals! it just amazes me how fast the time goes!! im sure you are going to do really well on your finals. just study your butt off, and it will all be worth it. i find myself amazed when i think about how smart you are.. i cant imagine myself getting an A in some crazy hard calculus class.. i think i would struggle to get like a B, and i always thought i was halfway inteligent.. haha but that would be way cool to get a 4.0 in your first semester. just work hard. i know you can do it!!
i looooove chicken curry!!! mom always made it, and it was always sooo good! i was thinking that while i was in the mish i was gonna learn how to cook lots of stuff, but then i got here and realized that that would be almost impossible because we dont even have a stove in our houses. there are like 2 houses in the whole mission that have a stove.. needless the say, i havent learned how to make almost anything.. it sounds like lots of fun though, the cooking parties. i would love to learn how to cook too! i think it would be cool to be able to just whip up some crazy cool random food.. i will just have to learn when i get home..
ps im so glad that you hate mayo.. i never want to have to look at it in the fridge ever!! haha just kiddin its not that bad...
im glad you got the letter =) and im glad you liked it... we´ve only sent one letter, but i already like this game a lot!! im enjoying it!! i will be excited to get your response and the next question.. it makes me anxious to get a response.. its soo fun!! yay for the fun letter question game!!
bummer for jeff.. its always sad when stuff isnt all cleared up.. hopefully he can get stuff figured out and get out there.. this is an opportunity that no young man can afford to miss out on.. i will keep him in my prayers.
i would imagine that izzy would be kinda homesick.. i was wayyy homesick in the mtc, but you just have to lose yourself in the work as they say, and everything just goes better.. i just started working hard, and all of the homesickness or whatever that i was feeling just kinda disappeared. i definitly still think about home every now and again, it just doesnt hurt anymore when i think about it.. that is way nice.
i am sooo sad about alli. its just hard because sometimes people just dont want to understand reality.. the reality is is that she is going to be miserable with darren. i am almost 100 percent sure that after the first little while, he is gonna get bored with her and the baby.. that is just the kinda guy that he is, its just the sad truth.. hopefully she can try and get her head on straight..
im glad to hear that every now and again you get to go home and visit.. say hi to my family for me if you see them!! thank you for always being there for me.. i appreciate it.
i love you chloe,

hola mi amor,
i feel like it has been a long week since the last letter.. the week actually went way fast, but it feels like it was long at the same time, just becasue we did so much compared to what we did the week before while we were dying in the house.. bummer that you were sick.. that is way not enjoyable haha.. i HATE throwing up..
im glad to hear that you are back at home.. it makes me feel like you are closer to me.. i dont know why, but i like how it feels ;)
how is your dad? now that you are away at college, i feel like i never know how they are, or what is going on with everyone.. i imagine it is even harder for you.. how is the house.. i think i kinda know where he lives, but im not possitive.. i am STOKED to hear that there is a better chance of things working out!! i will keep praying that all goes well.
my mommy told me all about the soccer game, i bet it was a blast to watch it.. sometimes i wish i was able to see some stuff. that is one of the things i would have enjoyed watching.. i have become a bit of a soccer fan while i have been down here.. i guess i will just catch up on old highlights when i get home or something haha.
alli officially had her baby boy.. in a way i am happy for her, and at the same time i still just get that really sad/sick feeling in my stomach when i think about it. i truly hope that everything goes well for her.. tell her i send my love and congratulations..
i do not like all of the leg problems i keep hearing about... i hope it can all just get better.. i would imagine you are far past sick of it too by now..
it is definitly starting to get a little bit warmer now.. actually it has been quite hot a couple of times.. i am totally missing the snow right now. especially as we are getting closer to christmas and what not.. haha it brings back SOOOOO many memories when i think of all the holidays that are coming up.. i cannot believe that you will be nineteen years old in like 3 more months.. that is soooo wierd to me.. but hey its way cool at the same time.
i hope you have a blast with the family in st george.. please tell everyone hello for me. you´ll have to send a picture with tank in it.. i would love to see what he looks like.
send a big hug to the family..
i love you more than ever.. i feel the love grow stronger everyday..
i hope to get your letter soon!!

hey hun,
speaking of beautiful days... today is absolutely breathtaking!! its probably like 75-80 degrees and perfect blue skies.. it has been a wonderful day.. very pretty, and very relaxing..
wow it sounds like you had a crazy fun week in utah!! i did miss thanksgiving, but instead of that, it was the same day as conference here, and it was soooooooooooooo good!! our conference just blew me out of the water you could say.. i have had like 9 conferences so far in the mission, and this one was by far the best!! sorry for the side note.. but im happy to hear that the whole family got together and everything.. that is way neat. i was so happy to hear that things are looking up!! this week has just been one long week of miracles and true thanksgiving for me.. i love when i hear that even my long-distance prayers are heard ;) i will deffinitly keep praying!!
i will also keep a prayer going for our dearest alli.. blegh..
go cougars ;) haha i have been a fan since i was like 2 haha sorry.
whoohoo!! good job on the pie!! i would sooooo enjoy an apple pie! haha next year at this time i will have already eaten it!! wow that is way wierd..
good call on the fasting idea.. i hope it turns out well for you.. fill me in for sure with any developements..
im soo sorry you are still getting sick, that totally bites huge!
what kind of cross training are you doing? like what does that all intail? i will keep working with the big man to see if we cant get you fixed haha
things this week are looking up on the mission front and far away.. i dont know why, but i just feel really at peace with the world today..
sorry the letter for the week is kinda lame.. not a ton happened..
just know that i love you sooo much, you are always in my prayers, and i cant wait for the day when i will have you in my arms again..
keep smiling, and try to laugh at the little stuff.. i´ve learned that it makes this journey a whole lot more fun.. plus the time goes way to fast to be miserable.. just put on a smile everyday, and tell the lord that you are going to do everything possible to make this day the best day ever, and that you need his help to be able to do it, and i promise you that you will feel small changes start to take place in your life that will make you a better/happier person. that is what i love so much about the gospel of jesus christ; it is all about change. right now as a missionary, my job is to help change the lives of other people, but i oftentimes find myself in awe at the changes that i am seeing in my own life. keep up the hard work. it is sooo worth the effort.
i love you chloe calton.
keep your chin up.
chase
ps my favorite scripture of the week is a scripture for me as a missionary to make me feel good:
alma 36: 24-the first part of 28
24 Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
25 Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceedingly great joy in the fruit of my labors;
26 For because of the word which he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God.
27 And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still deliver me.
28 And I know that he will raise me up at the last day, to dwell with him in glory; yea, and I will praise him forever.....
i know of a surety that he will indeed raise me up at the last day. i also know that he will raise anyone else up that will put their trust in him and be obedient to his commandments.. it truly isnt all that hard.. you just have to be persistent.
LOVE YOU

hey jo (drift queen),
haha we can definitly have a little rivalry with the whole byu-utah thing.. like you said, its all the same to me, but it might be kinda fun come game time next year ;)
wow.... i used to look soooooo up to tiger woods.. that hurts my heart.. im over it now.. he is still way good at golf haha.
i wish i could see the coby shot. souds sweet!
i also loved watching sports center.. it just was kinda lame cuz every thirty minutes, the whole thing started over again, but still quite entertaining..
sorry to hear the track meet didnt go so well for CU.. hopefully the changes can be made so that track season turns out better..
avery is still wayyyyyyyyy young, and has a lot of time to improve.. tell her not to sweat it.. its not easy living in the lime light.. haha like i would know haha..
wow.. finals.. i think i would probably be stressing a tiny bit too.. just finish up studying, and go into the test feeling way confident and it will come out way good! :) i hope it is painless haha
to be completely honest with you, i have not the slightest idea if the water here turns my teeth a "yucky color." but maybe it does.. i was totally thinking however, that when i get home i was gonna go get my teeth whitened at the dentist.. this way, i dont have to do it!! i can just do it now!! haha i will love having them ;) that way, i will have pearly whites when i get home.. i dont really have much in the way of requests... actually i cant think of anything.. more pictures would be cool.. im just a fanatic for pictures!! and whatever else you think of..
speaking of christmas, i am trying to figure out what i can do for you.. i didnt think it would be soo hard... it just turns out, that i have almost zero resources to be able to get anything to you... but i have some stuff brewing upstairs.. any requests?
that would be shanin.. she is cool.. and WAYYYY into facebook.. evreyone here loves that program.. but whatever.. its kinda cool huh? im glad i look happy.. i feel happy haha ;) thats funny that she tags you in all of them haha.
we didnt get to see the christmas devotional.. i was bummed.. the cake idea sounds funny haha.. but clever nonetheless.. haha
i would LOVE to drive an audi s4 in the snow.. that would put a big smile on my face.. i havent driven in soooo long. im about 86% sure im gonna have to have lessons when i get home haha..
HAHA you are officially a member of the "black boot club!!" congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! haha jk, sorry babe, i couldnt help but have the picture pop up in my brain.. im soo sorry. that is no fun.. you just need to get better..
the cross training sounds kinda monotonous.. hopefully you´ll be back with the team quickly..
im not sure if i have gotten any of the letters or not.. our zone leaders are at the office, and they are going to let me know if i got anything so that i can let you know if i at least have them.. haha
the scripture for the week is doctrine and covenants 58:3-4
3 Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.
4 For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with muc
haha we can definitly have a little rivalry with the whole byu-utah thing.. like you said, its all the same to me, but it might be kinda fun come game time next year ;)
wow.... i used to look soooooo up to tiger woods.. that hurts my heart.. im over it now.. he is still way good at golf haha.
i wish i could see the coby shot. souds sweet!
i also loved watching sports center.. it just was kinda lame cuz every thirty minutes, the whole thing started over again, but still quite entertaining..
sorry to hear the track meet didnt go so well for CU.. hopefully the changes can be made so that track season turns out better..
avery is still wayyyyyyyyy young, and has a lot of time to improve.. tell her not to sweat it.. its not easy living in the lime light.. haha like i would know haha..
wow.. finals.. i think i would probably be stressing a tiny bit too.. just finish up studying, and go into the test feeling way confident and it will come out way good! :) i hope it is painless haha
to be completely honest with you, i have not the slightest idea if the water here turns my teeth a "yucky color." but maybe it does.. i was totally thinking however, that when i get home i was gonna go get my teeth whitened at the dentist.. this way, i dont have to do it!! i can just do it now!! haha i will love having them ;) that way, i will have pearly whites when i get home.. i dont really have much in the way of requests... actually i cant think of anything.. more pictures would be cool.. im just a fanatic for pictures!! and whatever else you think of..
speaking of christmas, i am trying to figure out what i can do for you.. i didnt think it would be soo hard... it just turns out, that i have almost zero resources to be able to get anything to you... but i have some stuff brewing upstairs.. any requests?
that would be shanin.. she is cool.. and WAYYYY into facebook.. evreyone here loves that program.. but whatever.. its kinda cool huh? im glad i look happy.. i feel happy haha ;) thats funny that she tags you in all of them haha.

Hey love-
How has this lovely December week been treating
you? It has been ridiculously cold here, and snowed a little bit too. I woke up
a few days ago to -6 degrees, crazy huh? But it is back to around 30 or 40,
which feels warm now. Shay and I are watching EverAfter. Its a remake of
Cinderella and it's so cute! I have loved this movie since I was little and I
am loooving it.
Your Christmas package is on its way, but I am
scared that it wont be there until Christmas Eve! I hope it does, and I
hope you like it :)
I can't wait to talk to you. It's been so long.
I remember the last thing I said to you was "Talk to you in 7 months, love
you" And I can't believe it's been so long, wow. I remember thinking this
second Christmas was soooo far away. Time flies!
So I took my first final last night, calculus.
I was kind of nervous but I did the whole thing in about 40 minutes and it was
a 2 hour test! It was so easy I walked out with a huge smile on my face, I
couldn't help it! So I went home and showered cause I was going to a
movie. When I got out, a friend from my calc class called me and said,
"You didn't finish the test! There was a forth page and the professor said
you could come back and finish it if you hurry!" So I ran back to the exam
and had 24 minutes to do the forth page. There were people in the room that had
been there the whole 2 hours. But I still finished! I think I did the first 3
pages perfectly, but the last one I had to hurry but I still think I go tan A.
And he said he would match our midterm grade to our final if the final was
better. Which means I pretty much got an A. YAY! A very good start to my
college career I think :) Two more tomorrow and one on wednesday. Wish me luck!
Then on Thursday I go home until January 5th,
then I fly back to Boulder for Spring semester. I am taking a history class,
not sure which one. Either a 16th century class or a War and Society class.
Then Chemistry, and Macroeconomics, and Intro to Business. As well as a
Institute class on The Book of Mormon, the last half. So excited!
So my achilles was feeling good for about a
week, and I had been biking. So I tried the elliptical for one day. Then I went
sledding with my team and I think running up the hill hurt it. Because it has
been really sore for 2 days now. Hopefully I am still ok and getting better.
It's a very slow process.
Ahh! You must watch this movie with me. I love
it :)
Is it weird that Christmas is during the
summer in Chile? Hmmm. Seems weird. Well the movie is over and I have to go
study. Have a lovely day :)
Love you
Chloe
PS You should have 2 letters from me, yes???
What did your mom send you??
MUAH!!!!

hello dearest,
i can not tell you how much i would love the cold right now!! it has been sooooooooooo hot this week!! climbing the hills is kicking my butt into shape.. i have lost sooo much weight in the last two months.. i went up a little, and now it is all just burning off in the heat.. hopefully i dont get fat again before i go home.. that would suck. i will just keep doing my excersizes every morning, and make sure i stay in shape..
i remember everafter.. i think the first time i saw it i didnt like it.. and then i saw it again and it was pretty good!! i would love to watch it with you when i finish up with this crazy fast journey that im on right now ;)
(SIDE NOTE) i feel like i am soooooo old in the mission right now. all of the older missionaries are going home, and now my group of missionaries is like the third oldest group in the mission!! elder pratt went home today :( basically the saddest day of the mish so far.. i have been with him in like every zone since i started the mission, and he is like the short/chubby brother that i never had. im gonna miss him. can you believe that is was one day from tomorrow that i got to chile?! soo wierd.
i hope the package gets here on time.. and if it doesnt, thats ok too!! i will be happy to have it whenever it gets here..
it is definitly wierd to think that it has been a whole 7 months from the last time we talked on the phone huh? i cant even explain to you how fast it has been going.. it is just a blur!! sometimes i feel like i have been here FOREVER, and there are other days that i feel like i just got off the plane yesterday.. and everyone here just makes me feel older, when i say that i have 14 months in the mission, they all just say, "pack your bags, you´re almost done!" i dont like it, so now when people ask, i just say that i have about a year.. now most people just say, "oh that isn´t too bad." haha the mission is way funny.
i will be way excited to talk on the phone too! its way easier to hear the emotion in peoples voices and stuff when you are actually talking to them instead of through a computer..
i loved the story about the calc test.. that made me smile.. i hope it all went well for you!! best of luck with your other tests, im sure you´ll do great!!
wow! your christmas break sounds great!! i would love to have a 19 day break!! just kiddin i think it would kill me! i have no idea what i would do with so much stinking free time!! if i was home, i assume i would either A) if it were winter, go skiing everyday, or B) if it were summer i would go golf all day, and then go and lay out by your pool haha.. go up and take a few runs for me.. i´ll be thinking of you while you are skiing.. just dont forget your strikingly handsome half chilean boyfriend that hasnt gone skiing in almost two whole years!!!
your next simester sounds like fun!! i think i would enjoy some of those classes... you´ll have to let me know how it all goes.. im actually pretty excited to get started with my studies... i have a LOT of schooling ahead of me.. WOOHOO!!!!!
im totally bummed about your achilles, i imagine it would be no fun at all!! GET BETTER
i cant even explain to you how much it doesn´t feel like christmas to me!! i feel like i have gone two years in a row without having christmas.. its ok though! i just try to keep smiling, because i know that i for sure get a real christmas next year!!!! ;)
i havent gotten your letters still.. i went to the office today, and there was nothing there... so i will keep waiting patiently..
my mom sent me a bunch of random stuff.. candy mostly. and some clothes. i havent opened a lot of it yet though, cuz i want to be able to open stuff up on christmas morning..
i love you chloe! good luck with your tests! have an awesome week!!
love chase

ps funny story.. remember two years ago (or was it three) when we went on a double date with lauren and my cousin bridger.. well anyway, they are both married now, and bridger´s wife just had a baby boy last night!! haha
pss the scripture for the week is ether chapter 3. all of it
i love this scripture becasue of the faith that the brother of jared had.. i especially like verse 26.. if we truly have faith, the lord can and will show unto us all things.. maybe not in a way that we will be able to see with our eyes, but we will understand and know acording to the things we think and feel. study out the whole story, its gread study/reading material.. haha
love you

You sounds so responsible! I love it! Ya I am
just getting done with 4 hours of study hall for my stats test that is in 1
hour and I am not even nervous now. I feel super good about it. Then I have
philosophy tonight. Should be good! Hopefully I finish before leaving this
time! I have just noticed how huge of a difference there is when I am prepared
for my school work and test, I actually enjoy school when I am ready for it.
Novel, I know, haha.
Sorry you miss Elder Pratt, that's no fun. I
was talking to Sarah yesterday and I miss her like I think you miss Elder
Pratt. I looooooooooooove Sarah D :)
I will def ski with you in mind!
And I am super scared that if those letters
aren't there they A- got lost somewhere. B-they are taking forever whichi might
mean the package will take forever! My bad, sorry love.
It's good to hear you say you dont like it when
people tell you that you are almost done. I think some elders dwell alot on
going home and I think that is a huge difference between the called and chosen
ya know? You are doing right my dear.
YAY tashi had the baby! I will have to tell
them congrats when I head home. That's great. Although I think I would fall
over dead if I got prego the second after I got married, haha.
Love you babe, have a lovely day!! And happy
one year in Chile! WHOOOO :)

Chase,
Haha, you are so cute. The latest pictures
Shanin put up I just love. Love love love. You look so good, and tan! It must
be summer! Haha, I would love some sun, ya know? My dad is thinking about
taking Zach, Avery, and I to Cali for new years eve to watch the rose bowl and
go surfing! And hopefully some sun :)
You old man. Haha, ya you are going to be one
the older ones now huh? That's great. Show the youngins how its done.
So... I heard the Jeff's departure date got
postponed again.... until March. Sad stuff. I think he isn't taking it nearly
serious enough. I feel bad that he can't just figure out that he's not in high
school any more.
I took many ski runs for you :) Strawberry
isn't open and there is no new snow, but the groomers are good. 3 out of 4 runs
we just race top to bottom and FLY. My mom got hit be a snowboarder who was
turning on his blindside and then had to avoid a snowmaker going mach 10. None
of us saw it because she was just barely behind, so when we got to the bottom
we waited and waited and when she finally came down she had a broken hand :(
The guy was really nice, and he is a doc that knows my dad. But she is in a
cast until end of January. Bummer huh?
I have seen Meg skiing. LOVE HER. She is so
darling.
I get to talk to you in 5 days!!!!!!! I love
Christmas :)
K, so I saw the greatest movie of alllllll
time. I honestly think it was the best movie I have ever seen... ever. It's
Avatar. Haha, it isn't even a chick flick. It's just the most original and well
made movie I have ever seen. And I don't think I am alone either. Everyone
loves it. It's going at the top of the list. I also saw another movie with my
dad about a guy who just barely got drafted into the NFL, Blindside. It's a
good one too.
I am so so hoping that you get the package on
time. And my mom is sending you something too. I think her gift out does mine,
you will love it :)
The rest of my finals went great! It is
possible that I could have a 4.0 and I am so stoked. I don't know yet for sure.
I think it is more likely that I got like one A- or something. And there is
still a chance that i got a B in econ because that final was tough. But I just
don't know! Hopefully I know by friday.
It doesn't feel like Christmas to me either.
But I have a family party for the next 3 nights in a row, so I think that will
get me in the mood. My mom decorated my house so so cute, I love it. And I miss
my gpa merrill. And the whole family.
Letters yet?? I hope so! I got a Christmas card
from Steven and his comp, it's cute. Weird that Steve gets home in March. I
think I won't visit home again until after he is home, which makes it seem like
he is coming home really soon.
Jen got married! Crazy. I couldn't make it to
the wedding, and I was way sad about it, but I had some family stuff come up.
Wow, Bridger is a daddy, cute!
I can't wait to talk to you :) This last 7
months is the longest we have ever gone with out speaking since I have known
you. And could very well be the longest we ever go without talking forever. I
love you Chase. You are my favorite. Talk to you soon.
