Olo!

   I am alive and well. I will send many more things in letters to the people who wish to correspond, but I remind all y'all that I can't reply to emails outside of my mission president and family. Though we all are brothers and sisters in Christ, until the entire world is linked entirely back to Adam, we can't really claim that we are family with legal legitimacy.
     I love it here. The Lord dwells with us here in our hearts, and missionary work is the best in the world. For those of you who have yet to go and can put in your papers now, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! The Lord won't issue a call until you are ready and will bless you disproportionally too much once you do. Let the Lord decide when you are ready and offer your will to him. He is better at choosing things anyway. One of the evidences that the Lord has blessed me overly much is the fact that I have two companions, and you don't. Elder Jellen is from Orem, Utah, but also lived in Kansas. He studied at BYU where his father teaches a brutal course that other Elders have commented on. Elder St. Martin is from Mesa Arizona and studied for a while at BYU-I before being a stud and serving the Lord with all of his heart, mind, might, and strength, much like Elder Jellen. In this companionship, we have a good blend of quietude, extraversion, wackiness tempered by the Spirit, fun times and confidence in the Lord that is virtually unparalleled due to the fact that there are very few trios in the world, let alone the MTC.
     The first morning our alarms didn't go off, so we awakened fifteen minutes late and had to really book it to get out of the room on time. So, that night we prayed to get some extra good sleep as we slept and that we could be refreshed for our third day in the MTC. Lo and behold, at one o'clock, I awakened ready to go, looked at my watch, shouted a silent hallelujah and went back to sleep to repeat this process twice more before awakening at six fifteen. Ah, the tender mercies of the Lord and how he loves his missionaries. Nudge nudge. Go on a mission, everyone, but only if you want to be blessed with the great joy of bringing people to Christ and feeling greatness course through your veins in the form of the Spirit.
     I forgot my camera on this trip to the computers, but I'll write again on Thursday and give some pictures then. Y'all're great, don't do trouble and stay out of las drogas. Oops, I didn't make it all the way in English. Maybe next time. God be with you.
