Hola, todos!

Hey everyone,

Well, its my last week in the MTC, and i am so excited. I only have 4 days left and I'm in the field, wow! It went by so fast! I cant wait to get out there and do some real missionary work. So, i got the dearelder package and idk about the other one but i might be getting it later tonight. But that's the cookies and stuff are great, oh and i forgot to tell y'all that beef jerky is not allowed in the DR. I don't know why but i guess it is. I got it though so i guess they didn't search it. ha ha. Well, this week was great. This has been such a great experience so far. I feel like a completely different person. We went to the university again this week, it was way cool. We handed out 3 book of Mormons and we got 3 references which was our best so far. I cant wait to be doing that all day every day. So today was the last time i get to go to the temple for a long while. But it was good. So i appreciate the emails and hearing from everyone. So here's my mission address for y'all! I love you all and i cant wait to hear from u! oh and i might be sending pictures too!!

Hey, I don't know if yall got the last email or not. I'm not sure if theyre being put on the blog or not. So, im just sending this to everyone. So, anyways, I'm doing great here and still learning tons. So, i havent gotten the packages yet, butn i did get the letter from Taylor a couple weeks ago. I wrote a letter to her before i got hers, so just let her know i got it. And idk how long packages take to get here, it seems like they take like 2 weeks or so. So dont send me anymore here. Start sending them to the mission address. And i think the reason why i havent gotten the dearelder package is because theyre based out of utah and the packages arent boxed up, so im surprised the order actually went thru. But that would be great if it actually did. ha ha. Anyways, on tuesday we went to the university to talk to people and such. And me and my companion handed out 2 book of mormons. Which was really good. We were so excited! So that was the highlight of my week. I wish i could go there everyday! So, we havent had any real big storms yet. We got a little bit of one, but it wasnt anything big. So, im doing good here, the food is the same as always, some days we get this one soup thats really wierd, it has like bones in it and these wierd potato things. Sometimes i dont really know what im eating. And we sometimes have like those wierd potatoes with this wierd meat that kind of looks like bologna but its not. So yeah it gets interesting. ha ha. But the best is when we have sandwiches. Ive craved sandwiches ever since i got here. I just want like a normal sandwich, but here we have to have chicken sandwiches, they dont eat food that isnt cooked here. Its pretty much always hot, except for breakfast. But anyways everything is great! Its always good to hear from everyone! Well, I love you all, I cant wait to hear back from yall!

Hey Everyone!!!

Well here's another weekly update. I have 3 weeks left here in Dominican! I'm starting to get super excited for the mission field. So we got some new missionaries this week from Latin America. Its pretty crowded in our room now with 4 elders. Theres just not enough room! But its all good because we get to practice our Spanish. So i did get the package, i actually got it like an hour after i emailed y'all. And i loved it its nice to have some normal snacks for once, ha ha. Oh and thanks for the flashlight, ha ha, the power outages aren't that bad because we have generators, they're only out for a few seconds and then they come back on. And if ur going to send me more packages make sure there is enough time for it to get to me, or just send it to the mission address, mom and dad should have it. So ya thanks for everything!! I took some pictures recently and I'm going to try and send them if i can thru email. And if u don't get them its because i didn't send them, ha ha. Well keep the emails coming and by the way I'm not allowed to chew gum anywhere except for my room, so i basically don't have any time to chew it, ha ha. So just send chips, goodies, chocolate, etc. anything American!! ha ha. And to be honest with u I'm not surprised that Carson got stitches again, ha ha, that kid is crazy!! And forward this to everyone who didn't get it or just let them know its on the blog!
