Happy Halloween yourself! I can't think of any girl Halloween characters except witches, and I didnt want it to come across mean lol. Ok, first off, dont think I didnt remember your birthday, cause I did. I sent you guys a package with some washintonian stuff in it. Some of the other stuff is just things that I dont really need that are just weighing down my bag. Gives the ties to matt. So I hope that you enjoy the package. So, with the gloves, I was really thinking about the underarmour ones, cause they are warm and thin at the same time. The white ones will work, but the black ones will be even better for biking. Don't worry about a jacket. I went to Ross last week and got a really nice one for like 30 bucks. It sounds like everything is just moving right along with sports and things. I'm glad BVW is doing good as I am not there lol. My senior year was miserable watching them lol. its ok though. Now I got bigger and better things.
So, as for me out here. Yes, it is super cold. It has been raining all this week, which was good and bad. Bad, because we had to bike, but good , because when it rains nobody can pick apples. Therefore, everyone is at home and we can teach a lot more. One of our investigators, Isabel and Lorenzo, are getting married on November 16th. They are getting married so that they can be baptized. Please pray for them so that they continue to have that desire as they move forward. Also we need prayers for this lady named Perla. Her husband absolutely hates us and we have a hard time teaching her cause he is ussually around. Please pray that his heart will be softened so that she can learn more, cause she really wants to know. Lastly, This family that we found is really awesome and they need support. Their names are Martha, Daniela, and Flavio. They just need prayers to find work. that way they can get a car and get to church and things. Thanks for all of the support guys.
Take care and write soon. I love you all!
Love,

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the emails. Thanks for the support, and the package. The package seriously helped this week, since we are on bikes it is kinda cold lol. Yes mom, I will send you pictures! Yeah, as for now we are in that address on rosewood. I think they are looking for a new place for us, but as for now we are staying there. I will send you a picture of our set up. oh, I FOUND A CROC POT!
So, in our area we are having lots of stuff moving along. We havent seen much success yet, because we are still the first ones in this are, but we are working with lots of people. The members in the branch really want to help us. They dont have much to give or time to give, but they really want to support us as much as they can.
So, a normal day is wake up at 630. study till 12. eat lunch till 1. then proselyte till 4. Proselyting consists of visiting people that we have taught before, tracting down streets in order to find new people, visiting less actives, or going to appointments that we have. then we eat from 4 to 5. then we proselyte from then until the end of the day until 9. That is pretty much a typical day. Then sometimes we have meetings or other unique things that we have to be at, or service.
thank you so much for the update on sports. It really help, cause no one around here knows anything about my teams. lol Thank you also for the update on hhow the missionaries are doing with Emma, because I want to make sure they get in contact with her. She says that she really wants to meet with them.
So, I dont have much time, but thank you guys for everything that you do. I love you guys so much. I will write some letters later today. Take care, and write soon
Love, Elder Cybulski
p.s. can you send me my winter football gloves. I need gloves for riding my bike in the cold lol. Thank you

Hey Every body,
So, I dont have tons of time today to email, so I am just emailing everyone at once. Today is transfer day! I cant believe that my first transfer in the field is already over! It went by so fast. Elder Igleski and I are not leaving to anywhere, we are actually the only two that havent seen a change in the area. Everyone else got moved around and new companions. However, now we will be part time on bikes. We will share the car with another companionship. That will be cool I think cause I havent even touched my bike yet. So that is what is going on today.
It is starting to get a little colder. We are in full suits now, and in the mornings it gets pretty cold. So we blast the heater in the car. It is ok though. I like the cold.

This last week was a really good week. We are constantly finding new people. However, we did find a lot of people this week that just wanted to bash with us. They always just focus on the one thing that they know really well. I have found that if they would just listen to what we are saying that they would find that we believe in something similar, it is just that we have a more knowledgeable view on of the concept. They are just super stubborn and dont listen to what we have to say to them.
No, we dont have a place to live yet. We are living in this ladies basement, and still living out of suitcases. I would share pictures of our place, but I dont have my camera on me at the moment. I will send some next week.
It is starting to get a little colder. We are in full suits now, and in the mornings it gets pretty cold. So we blast the heater in the car. It is ok though. I like the cold.
So that is my update for today. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hey dad.
Love ya dad,
Hey mom.
We actually had some investigators come and watch with us. Dori and Johnny (last names excluded for privacy) came and watched Saturday afternoon. They are from El Salvador. They are awesome. They have the desire to be baptised. They just have a few problems to get over, so pray for them that they will be able to get over those things. We also saw our investigator Isabel. She is super into the church now. Her boyfriend and her are actually planning on getting married by our branch president. It is super awesome if they are able to do that, and get baptized, I will be able to see them go to the temple. It will be a cool experience.
Thanks for the update on everything. Sounds like football is going great. Matt is really improving. I am glad to hear that. As for conference...Since you guys had a game on saturday, I dont know if you heard the historic announcement that President Monson gave in the Morning. He announced that now Elders will be able to begin at the age of 18 and sisters at the age of 19!!!! It is amazing to hear a prophet of the Lord give an inspired announcement. It is amazing to think that we will have more missionaries soon coming out. Thank you for your thoughts on conference. I think my favorite talk was Elder Bednars. Probably because we were encouraged to go into conference with questions, and he answered my exactly. I asked "When do we know that our testimony has turned to conversion?" It was awesome to sit in the chapel to listen to every session. Especially priesthood, cause I know there is lots of work to do, and to get started right away.
As for missionary work back home. I would say, just let the missionaries know that you are willing to accompany them to lessons. When we have members in lessons the spirit is so much stronger, and their testimony truly helps. Also, new converts need a friend. when converts have people they know in church, they are more likely to attend and stay active, and that is the goal. So, just be as involved as possible.
So thats all I got for now. Now I got to write to mom.
Love ya dad,
Elder Cybulski
Hey mom.
Thanks for the email a ton. I really appreciate all of your insight in the conference talks. MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE SATURDAY MORNING SESSION! President Monson gave a very historic announcement. I really did enjoy conference. It was awesome to listen to the talks that they gave through the eyes of a missionary. It was amazing to hear from the Lord's elect and think about how I can use those messages to help others.

So not much to report here. I think we are just going to stay in the place we are living for a while. I think the ZL's are moving. The address is 1038 Rosewood, Wenatchee, Wa 98801. So you can send my stuff there. We are just continuing to work. I love you guys and miss you a ton. Tell Matt thanks for the update on sports.

Picture from Wenatche, Washington
Smoke is so bad from the fires in the area the missionaries have to walk around with masks to protect their breathing. No complaining though, the mission is great!
October 1, 2012 Emails
Hey Family,
Everything out here in Wenatchee is going great. The smoke from the fires is starting to calm down, but we still have it. I will send a Picture. WE have to wear masks since the air quality is so bad. They said that there is a rating out of 500 for the air quality, and for about two weeks we were at a 498!!! It is pretty crazy. Not really much to report, we just keep working.
mom,
No, we dont have our own place yet. No we do not have a crockpot, so we cant really cook. However, we just got a new Branch mission leader, and he is super awesome. He is making sure we have food every single night since he understands our situation. Whether we go to someones house or they drop it off for us. MOM, feed the missionaries at home!!! I now know how important that meal calendar is. Im glad that Aunt Lisa and Gran Gran came up to see you guys. What made them come up? Sounds like it was a fun time though. SEND ME PICTURES OF THAT BULLDOG!! lol Som, There are a couple things that I might start to need. There is no rush. My black and white knit hoodie, some sweatpants, a beanie, and I am not sure how you would send it, but my down comforter would be amazing to have lol. That is all that I can think of as of now. Thanks guys for all the letters, and the package. That tex mex chex mix was awesome! I love ya a ton. Write soon.
Halle,
Hey you. Thanks a ton for the letter. I hear you are making new friends in the church and stuff. Did someone new move in? or whats up. Mom said she met someone new too. Sounds like your CAPS stuff is going awesome. Did you get to work that game? Tell me all about it.About seminary, just remember that the new testament wasnt organized chronologilcally like the BOM was. That is probably why you are jumping around so much. But if you will do your personal reading then you will learn all the parable and stories. It will be aweome to know those stories. I wish I knew that more. Oh, BTW I am in Fourth nephi in my elnglish scriptures, and Mosiah 20 in my Spanish ones.... You better catch up lol. You asked me what the best memory is so far. I would say there are alot, but if I had to pick one, it would be this crazy white guy that we met. I t always seems like the white people are way crazier thatn the mexicans. He tried to give us a tv, and to teach us indian words. He waves at us everytime we pass by. He is just an interesting guy. One other thing. I want you to think about those colleges you want to visit. I understand that College is a thing to experience, but think about why you want to go to those schools. Is it for the school, or because they party alot? Just think about that before you make a choice. ok, Gotta go. Love ya
Matt

Hey DAD,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! It is pretty cool that your Birthday was on a P day, so that I could email ya. I hope the day is going good. Hopefully mom doesnt spoil you too much. What is she making for Dinner??? Yes, I do get to watch conference. Im not sure how much that I get to watch on saturday, but I know I get to see all on sunday. It should be a great weekend. That sounds like an awesome talk that Bro Lapine gave. Can he send it to me? It is crazy to think that Joseph Smith was in Liberty for six whole months. I cant even imagine the hardships. I was actually talking to Elder Igleski about this earlier, how the magnitude of their trials and our trials are the same, they are just different. Thiers were physical, and our are more spiritual and emotional. It is an interesting topic. Ok, so I am going to send you something for your birthday, hopefully you like it. I use it all the time here in washington with the mexicans. Love ya dad. Have a great day.
Love,
Elder Cybulski
