Hi Mom!
You email early! haha
We're mostly in the classroom but we get to go to other buildings in the MTC and teach, sometimes actual investigators sometimes actors, but its really good practice.
Story time, one of the struggling elders and I did an exchange cuz the branch president thought I could help him (he told me I was the best missionary in the district, made me pretty happy) and we taught this less active girl named Kim. She grew up in the church, is a twin, dad taught seminary, played two years of college basketball, and had similar struggles to what I had. Neither of us were supposed to be in the lesson I was exchanged and she was filling in for her roommate, but I was able to relate to her in just about everything she was having problems with. The spirit was so strong, it was amazing to be able to bear testimony from that standpoint, it just confirmed to me that I am in the right place.
I got your dearelders, send more! haha i need that immunization thing here so send asap! if your going to send my ties could you do that soon too? i would love to have those. So we only get a 44 lb bag on the transfer planes down in trinidad, what should I send home? could you dearelder me today and give me some suggestions?
Glad baseball is going so well!! I miss you guys so much! the temple here is awesome! know that Im in good hands doing well!!! I love you so much!!!

Hey dad!!
I only get 30 minutes so if this is brief I'm sorry!!
AAHHH you got naches! im so excited about that! sounds like you could've had game two also so that's a good sign! get them at districts!! if your pitchers step up youll be fine.
I'm doing well, the district leader thing is good it's a lot of responsibility and it's wearing on me a little cuz some of the missionaries are just doing their own thing and not really helping me out at all but I'm doing my best.
The MTC is cool and everything but I cannot wait to be out in the field! We leave the MTC Monday at 3 am cuz we fly out of salt lake at 6! We fly from here to Dallas-Fort Worth airport to Miami and then to Trinidad! We have like a 4 hour layover in Miami so I'm gonna call you guys from there! I believe it'll be around 1, I hope mom isn't out of town so I can wish here a Happy Mothers Day!
Are you excited to skype Eric? I bet you are. The overwhelming feeling ive been getting here is that we all need to make our faith define us. Everything we do should reflect that we are followers of Jesus Christ. My companion is awesome, typical Utah kid haha but he's really strong in his faith.
So mom is gonna flip cuz we only get to have 44 lbs of total weight on the transfer planes instead of 50 and some of the trips have carry on weight limits! haha we'll figure it out! I have taken a ton of pictures so when I get the opportunity I'll send them to you! Love you dad! dearelder me sometime this week I get them in the mail and I'd love to hear how things go!
