So Far...So Good

Dear Dad

Things are great here at the MTC, i had to only speak Spanish the other day and it

was awesome to see how far i have come in the language, amazing! and i can

almost understand everything my teacher says every day (Cause about 95 percent of the

time they only speak spanish) so its really sinking in, my teacher, who is fluent, said that we

know more spanish then him when he left the MTC and we are only in week 2, im excited to

get my package today, see what goodies you sent. Im dating all my letters as well, if you talk

to grandma on sunday let her know im sending a letter and it should be there monday or tuesday

Sleeping habbits are going really well, 16 hour days are begining to seem like 1 hour days,

i talked to bridger today haha crazy to see friends here, also paul Nieman. Hope to get my card back

soon, also happy you invited randi to church she loves being around the family and she is just an

awesome girl to have around, my love goes out to her ;) this is all going on my blog i assume?

Ill be sure and take lots of pictures when i get my card back, i told my companion and roommates that

you guys asked me too, also i have something for austin that i will be sending soon! he is going to love it, i challenge you dad to get to the temple! do some sealings, i just got back and it is an amazing feeling. I hope to be able to go to the temple with you and Austin when i get back, the Salt Lake, so make that a goal of yours and his to prepare yourself for that, cause thats the kind of Father son night i want to have when i come home. The showers are terrible here if you wanted to know, either too hot or too cold!!! I SHAVE EVERY DAY JUST SO YOU KNOW!!! HINT HINT. A BYU ruggby player just arrived in our new district thats part of our branch HUGE!!! Its crazy to see all the different people from all over the world come here, like my buddy elder Beatty is from Arizona and Is going to Dallas (me and him have a lot in common) also my roommate. And a guy from texas in our district is going to arizona haha so its pretty awesome, and we will be a boys only district this coming tuesday as the sisters will leave for the MTC in Guatamala :( They were really good at bringing the spirit, cant believe we have almost been here for 3 weeks!!!! time going by slow there??? its kind of both slow and fast here, hard to explain, well my time is almost up and i have to go do laundry now haha great "day off" right?:D well i love you so much, write to you soon, love

Mom-

Gracias for inviting Randi to church! if she could only feel what i feel on a day to day basis.

I miss you guys and thanks for putting money in my account, i know im being pushy but

its cause i didnt know that it actually takes more than just a day for a letter to get to you

but now i know and i am so greatful to have you guys sending me stuff! THANK YOU SO
MUCH!!! :) i got a ton of mail today 6-2-11. so im happy about that, also does this go on

my blog? if so I LOVE YA RANDI! ;) i promised a shout out for her, the spirit is so strong

you have no idea, i had a bad tooth ache yesterday and was scared i might have to leave

to get it fixed but its been really good lately, I just got back from the temple and did

sealings for the dead, i loved it so much, to think of all those kids in India that werent sealed

to their parents and how i was able to seal 20 children for ETERNITY! I love you all, life is

getting easier and im loving the work, because im getting lost in it, my companion is great,

such a funny guy i love being around him, we went the entire day a few days ago only speaking spanish it was great! im starting to be able to understand almost everything someone says!!!! i love it, its so great i dont know if you got my question about a backpack? cause yeah i might need a bigger carry on or something keep inviting Randi to church, she loves being with the family, it helps her a lot! Mucho amar
