MOM! 

I am so happy to I can finally get to email you! The CCM made me wait as long as possible before I could get a chance to send you one, but I'm just glad I can at this point. I just looked at all your selfies and felt like I was right at home. Everyone looks great, and you'll have to tell me how Disneyland was! I know with you everyone always has a blast there ;) How has everything been? Halloween is just around the corner, and I know you'll make the house a spectacular as always. I miss you all so much, and i put our family picture on the table in my room, I have a picture of it that ill attach on this email. I didn't get to take a lot of pictures this week, but I'll take more this week, And my Pday is on Wednesday from now on so that'll be nice!

As for me here I am doing really good. Today was probably the worst day I've had yet but that's only because we took a 7 hour trip into the city to the Migration center to get our real visas. It was very hot, everything was in Spanish, and we didn't get lunch so not great. But getting to talk to you has made the whole day worth it. I feel good about the language, it's a lot of studying but I feel alright where I am right now. It was a little overwhelming at first but I'm feeling good now. My companion is Elder Blazzard and he's from Kamas Utah! We get along really well and we compliment each other which is nice. My district is super cool too, and we all work hard. I can definenetly feel the gift of tounges at work when we all work together. The spirit here is awesome too. It's just super strong, and I know this is where I need to be. We did our first contact practice this week too and it started rough but we ended up talking to this lady for like 15  minutes! it was a little bit of Spnglish by the end but she was crying and saying that me and Elder Blazzard were like the missionaries that converted her 21 years ago. That's why I am out here, for experiences like those. Aside from that everything has been good, just busy. I miss and pray for you guys every night, and hope everything is alright at home. Your selifes are one of the biggest comforts I've had since being here, so I am excited for more.

LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH

your son and missionary,
