The day goes by really slow here. We sit in class for what seems like an eternity. We don't really learn discussions there are lessons in Preach my Gospel that we have to follow. It is pretty cool because we get to pick out what we teach. There are principles that we have to follow but we get to make the outline. The food is actually pretty good and hasn't made me sick. I have seen the Bakers a couple times and it is nice to see a familiar face. The Elders in my district are way spiritual and really knowledgeable about the gospel. We are always cracking jokes. If you really want you can send Elder Lock and I some Mountain Dew. We have been craving it like crazy. Let everyone know that I love them and I'm going to be just fine.

First Letter, January 16, 2008

"We had an orientation with all of the new missionaries and their were 404 from 16 different countries and after that one we had another with our district. My companion is a convert to the church of 2 1/2 years and he is from Fort Collins, CO. My companion, Elder Johnson was made District Leader so I will be the Senior Companion. I just want to tell you all that I love you and I will be just fine. I am in the Lords hands."
