September 12, 2013 Letter

Dear Familia, 

 Hey so I leave this week so that package you were supposed to send me would be great. I am also sending home this SD card. JK I have only taken 70 pictures so I think I will wait cause I can still take 2,317 more. It is kinda crazy to think that I will be in Mexico in a week, but I am so stoked to go serve people and stop worrying about myself. The MTC has been a lot of fun though and my district is the bomb. An Elder got a letter from his  district  (not even close) secretary in his mission saying he comes from a zone that has the reputation of being the most obedient!! Mind blown. I got to be better. Who would have thought I would have been part of the obedient zone? 

Oh, and wish I was better at the piano already because Sunday is our musical number and I have to play the piano. Which reminds me please send some of Dad's music. Something that doesn't have this though: 

Or this:






















I don't have that many fingers. I am a little nervous to fly and I am excited for the field, but I feel awkward talking to people in airports and airplanes. Maybe I will get the opportunity and it will be fun. Oh and my Visa is only 6 months so if I don't get a more permanent one by then...well I will get to serve another Mission. I heard China is opening soon (thats a joke). Nah, I just can't deal with that many Asians. I could hardly deal with the 2, haha. I leave at 2:30 in the manana so it will be around 4 or 5 that I could call. I will let you know better on Saturday. This is such a weird feeling but as me and my comp like to say ¡Estoy Pumeped! (Spanish for pumped). I will miss playing volleyball though. Las been awesome and basketball was fun.

Oh hey, tell David there was glow in the dark paint in my room that said "You Like It" right over my bed. And I didn't see it till last night which was really weird. 

Met an Elder today his name was Elder Fillerup. Yep, no lie. He is in my old teachers class. I almost busted up laughing when he walked in the room. His teacher said when he walked in his first day "you get made fun of Elder?". 

I want you all to know that I love you and that every day I get letters was awesome. Even though I am away from home I am at peace. Such an overwhelming sense of peace and comfort. I hope that is the Lord telling me I belong here because I don't wanna be anywhere else. I thank you again for all your letters, packages, prayers, and love. Hasta ver para siempre dios este con vos.
