Mother,
First off happy anniversary to you and dad! congratulations on 20 succesful years of marriage thats awesome! haha there are some cutie pies here I must say but yeah Im sure JC's got my back on that one too. Ive been waiting for my package to arrive for ever!!! haha send that beast! i need that stuff. also i might need some extra shower soap/shampoo the gillette stuff i like. and another razor and some deodorant. I shower at least twice a day and have to shave every day so rations are getting low. So please send that package like tomorrow or saturday. Thank you for the cookies they were pretty good, i actually enjoyed the fruit snacks and the fruit bars more than the cookies haha we eat sooo much crap in here. Ive been running more than i have been playing bball to try to stay fit but its tough when all we do is eat poo haha. I swear weve had cordon bleu like 5 times in the last 3 weeks. But things are still going great here. We lost 4 good men on monday they left for Chile. The champ, miller time, raybans and Teskey. haha They were the oldest guys in our zone but were like our Best friends cause they took us under their wing when we got here theyre great guys. The champ is the one who told me I was going to have a hot girlfriend haha. Anyways i have some pictures to print out today but they probably wont get devoloped till monday so Ill send them when they are done.

Theres been some crazy stories that have happened in these past 3 weeks but I can never seem to think of them when the time comes to write them to you haha. oh wait..... i forgot to mention that at our devotional the other night we had a special guest... Russel M freakin Nelson!!! I sat probably 15 yards away in the 3rd row from an apostle that spoke to us about missionary work and told us how greatful he and the apostles and the prophet pray for us every day and not to worry about our safety because not only do they pray for us, but so do 14 million other members as well. This truely is a great work that I am apart of and I am so happy to be here. Its funny cause before he came into the gym where we have our devotionals this guy got on the mic and said "we only stand if one of the bretheren were to enter..." so we knew something big was going down. I guess they had Holland like 6 weeks before I got there he's the Man when it comes to speaking about missions. Go to google or something and search for the talk he gave in the MTC like a while back. he pretty muchs slaps missionaries in the faces and says WAKE UP! haha its so awesome. anyways that was a great experience, probably my favorite so far. We also got some newbs in the zone today 3 out of 4 of them are from utah haha yeah so many kids from utah down here its nuts, theyre all a bunch of BYU fans too its annoying haha. Alright well i have a few more emails to respond to that i didnt get to last week. I love you guys and I hope all is well. I pray for you every day! tell everyone i said hey.
