Hey sorry about last week my companion had to get a root canal taken care of so i was gone all day. I got to see the stadium of fire though which was pretty cool but it's nothing like the fireworks back home. Time is going by so fast here. We all get our traveling plans this week!!! Wooooo!!! We're all so stoked! It's been raining a lot here to. The MTC is going great I love it here but i'm also ready to get out and go to Costa Rica. The Spanish is coming but i still feel like i'm so far away from where i need to be.But oh well as long as i try my hardest the Lord will provide a way. Me and my companion teach around ten to fifteen lessons a week now. We have six different investigators. I haven't had to give a talk yet but i probably will pretty soon. Oh ya last night Jenny Oaks Baker (Elder Dalin H Oaks daughter) came for our fireside. She is the most talented musician. You should look her up on google and maybe show her to Mark i think that he would be interested. Well it's good to here everything is going weel at home and i'll keep The Prestwitch family in my prayers. Thanks so much for all the packages and pictures! Love you guys!

Hey there!

Today has been another great day at the temple! It's kinda sad though because our roomates and 2 people from our district our going to the guatamala MTC tomorrow and we'll all miss them a ton. It's going to be hard for all of us to lose two of our brothers.

That's nice of mark to help you with all the yard work. Sorry to hear about the rough wether though that sucks. The weather here has been so beautiful! Sorry to hear about the water heater.

Thanks so much for the advice mom and dad. I've been trying my hardest to lose my self in the work and not think about my self. I will do my best and more to serve the Lord i promise. Thankyou guys so much for the examples you've been i Love you guys so much!

Hey guys i just got back from the temple. And it was amazing! How are you guys doing? These first few days have been so long and overwhelming. And i just found out that i'll be here till July 31. But all the Elders say that the time here will start flying now. My companion is Elder Richardson he is an awesome Elder. He went to Bonneville which is pretty cool. Our zone and district is amazing! I love our Branch President Ricks. He is such an inspired man along with the MTC President Brown. I'm loving my experience here it's been amazing!! The spirit here is unlike anything i've ever felt before it's so strong and always present. The spanish is a lot harder than i thought it would be but Hermano Wood (my teacher) said it will start getting easier. Hey i need some more t shirts for gym time and some more gym shorts please. And can you tell everyone on facebook that they can write me on Dear Elder and that i would love to hear from them. And if you guys would like to send me some treats i would also love that:) Well anyways i love you guys a ton! Nos Vemos
