Hola

Hola  a todos!

 

Espero que todos esten bien. Le escribe una carta a ma entonces el resto de este email va a ser en ingles. Pero todo esta bien y los extrano mucho a todos. 

 

 Wow these past few days have just been intense! I have learned so much. It seems like I have been gone from home a lot longer than three days as well it feels like if I am a lot father from home than I am right now. But anyway I have been learning a whole lot! Last night and today I was able to spend with Elder Perez who is an amazing Elder who is from Miami, Florida. He happens to be half cuban and half nicaraguan. He is really great and I have learned a lot from him. ! I know that I will be able to apply what I have learned from him. I really can't wait for Monday and Tuesday though when I will be able to finally meet the other incoming missionaries and Tuesday morning I will be assigned my new area. There is a possibility that I will be trained by either Elder Lybbert or Elder Given! (two missionaries that served in raymondville) That would be great. Especially since the areas that they are in right now are pretty succesful. President Trayner told me that I would be allowed to serve in Brownsville. That came as a suprise and I think I would really enjoy working in that area as well. Yesterday I was able to meet a lot of the recent converts that live in this area and they are great. I really can't believe how many members live in this area. I excited for tomorrow because I will be able to witness a baptism of a family that Elder Perez and his companions were teaching. I really cant wait to go out into the mission field and apply what I have learned. 

 

Well there really isn't much to write this time around since I have been in training sessions for  2 whole days. But I really love what I am doing. I am so happy that I decided to serve a mission. I know that this work is true. I know that God lives and that through his Son Jesus Christ we may are able to obtain salvation and exaltation in the world to come. I know that this Chuch is true.

 

I love you all. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and that Mom and Dad are fine as well.

I love you Katie. :] (I finally sent you out the package I promised you today as well as some letters so look for it in the mail.)
