[Regarding Christmas gifts sent to Elder Reed] "I got the packages! There is nothing better than a ton of trail mix and new socks after a long year in Guatemala - I opened them already."
[Younger brother Brock sent him a URL link to look at some Pokemon] "I can't go to that link- I'm a missionary. There are people here who play Pokemon Go here (mostly in the capital) but there are a lot of thieves who use Pokemon Go as an opportunity to rob cell phones- they go to the places where the Pokemon appear and then rob the people."
[Looking for advice] - "What did you do, Dad, to get over the sheer exhaustion of being a missionary? I feel absolutely whipped when I go to bed and when I get up, I still feel tired from the day before."
[Wondering how the family is doing while he is Guatemala] - "When did the family get used to not having Elder Reed in the house? [my answer - never did]
[Discussing his work ethic] - "When I got to the mission, I was very very very very serious and hardcore about the work. I'm always hardcore about the work (in the mission, I'm known as that missionary who stops cars and motorcycles to talk to the drivers). I've learned though that it's also important to take time to laugh."
[Last comment] "I also got the vitamins - Love the vitamins- the vitamins are my new favorite thing in life."
