Kamusta Pamilia!!! How is everyone?! Thanks so much for all the letters and packages, you guys are awesome. Life here is crazy! Always doing something. My 2nd day here I became District Leader! I sent you a letter that will tell you about how I have been and stuff. For everyone else I am doing awesome and am so glad to be here! I actually have 2 companions, Elder Haymond for Santaquin, UT, and Elder Christofferson from Lehi, UT. Elder H is Joeys cousins friend, the one Doree talked about. Hes so sick. We ball together. And Elder C is awesome too. Yes he is in fact related to the Apostle, its his dads cousin or something. Anyways, lots of the time I catch myself dreaming about monster bucks or trout and stuff haha. I love being outside when I can. I saw a "vole" as Elder C put it the other day. Haha I just notice wildlife alot more now Im away from it so much. We have a great view of the mountains though! Everyone keeps callin me a Redneck for some reason, I wonder why. I recently "installed" a new fridge into our room. Its made from a cardboard box and some ducktape, I'll send some pics later. Oh and my first discussion went ok. We taught a girl named Teresa, who is "from the Philippines"(Not really). She is Catholic, attending BYU and lives with some "Mormons". The lesson went okay I guess, it was hard understand here because she talks so fast and it was only my 3rd day! It seriously is amazing how much I already know. Dad you were right, I think I learned like 20 words on the first day, but its just remembering them is the hard part haha. Oh funny story, I was doing the Rosetta Stone things in the lab (we call it TALL) and I was repeating some words from the computer into the mic on the headset back into the computer. And I was sitting next to this Latino Elder, and a word came up called "buto" which means bone, so i said it, not registering buto and a spanish word that means a female dog. Then I realized what I had said and slowly looked over at the other Elder, haha I dont think he noticed but I sure was nervous! I love you guys so much and miss everyone a ton. Mahal kita! Ingat! (Love Ya! Bye!)
