Email to Carlean:

my companion is from shelly idaho. he remindes me of zack!  i love him so very much. he is a great elder. i have learned so much about him! i am excited to spend the next seven weeks with him... here at the mtc i get treats everyday from other missionaries!! i have finally gained a little weight! the mtc fattens you up a bit. i would love a letter in spanish!! i love spanish i learn so much everyday!! i have no idea what i would like. something in spanish that pertains to the gospel. i love the gospel and spanish. it is a miracle that i am privilaged to learn both at the same time!!. an elder in my district is from vinuatu (i dont know if i spelled that right, its an island by fiji) and he has never seen snow. we taught him how to build a snowman and we had a pretty awesome snowfight (while you were driving through it probably) !! it was very fun. i am learning so much and my love for the gospel is so great. i would never trade it for anything. i have been the district leader for the two weeks we have been here. it is very hard but i am learning alot and i am very good at it. it is amazing what you can do and what you learn when you have the holy ghost for a constant companion. have fun and stay safe this week. o ya tell jacob that the nametag he wanted is going to take me a while to get because i have to go to the scheduling office and sign up on a list. the problem with the list is there are about 200 missionaries before me that have lost there badge. ya a long and annoying line. that is one thing i am glad i have, the ability of being responsible and somewhat organized!!! love you all!! ill here from you in a week or so!!

Letter received in the mail the old fashioned way:
Dear Dad, Mom, Wyatt, Emmett, Olivia

Well I'm here!  First off Wyatt!  Do not ever say or do anything that would prohibit you from going on a mission.  The feeling here is so strong!  I know this is what I am suppose to do!  Nothing is worth not going!  Study early or you WILL BE LOST!!  There are a lot of people that are clueless.

Emmett, Well do your homework and get food grades.  Learn how to learn and study.  If you fail to do this your mission experience will be for nothing.

Olivia!  You're OK!  I'm just kidding! Be an example for your older brothers!  You really are!  If you read the scriptures in the family room like you do , you will sort of "challenge" your brothers to do the same!

Mom!  A mission is a wonderful place.  The spirit is so strong!  I cannot believe I'm here but it feels normal.  I have definitely been waiting for this moment in time.

Dad.  My mission companion is Elder Bobak.  He is very awesome. He has taught me a lot so far.  As the "white bible"  says, my companion will teach me and you will learn to love him.

Well Everyone I had a 15 minute conversation with my spanish teacher yesterday!  I know that through faithful dilligence and prayer that I will learn spanish!  Love all of you!
