Hi All,  Wowzers , time is such a very weird thing and being out here, it goes so fast and so slow at the same time . . but i miss you all soso very much and i can not wait to see you all again.  The new missionaries just arrived in Osorno! My journey from the Mexico MTC to my apartment was as follows: 3 bus rides, 2 plane rides, 2 hotels, 1 boat ride, 2 taxis, and a partridge in a pear tree!!! But for real it was a crazy couple of days but i finally made it and it is soso cold here!  It rains literally all day and it's COLD RAIN but also i am soso very happy!!  President and Sister Isom I met with President Isom on Tuesday super early morning and the first thing he said was "woah are you going to have an experience!" and i said "what do you mean?" and he said the place where you will be serving not only has the fastest Spanish with the most slang in the whole world but also your companion does not speak a word of english! Literally, other than t...

LETTER #6 . . . last letter from Mexico MTC . . GOODBYE MTC!

Hello everyone!  Goodbye to the MTC and to this awesome district!   I miss you all and hope everyone is happy and healthy! The MTC is so humbling and has helped me so much to become disciplined but also i am going crazy just sitting here all day!! I check into recepcion to leave this place at 3am Monday morning and have an 8 hour flight to Santiago. When we get to Santiago we have a 21 hour layover and i think will be sleeping in a hotel. After the layover we have a 1-2 hour flight to Osorno and i am not really sure what happens after that but i will keep you all updated.  Bobo with Anne and John Pingree from the Seventy . . . guest speakers at their devotional!

LETTER #5 . . . I FEEL LIKE A DAD!

Hi All,  No offense to dads cause i love them but i have only been on a mission for a couple weeks and i am already starting to feel like a DAD, but i love it. I feel like i have already learned so much and i have not even left the MTC yet.  CCHS boys at the Mexico City Temple Today we got to go to the temple and it will be my last time in a temple for the next 2 years which is kinda sad. There is seriously such a cool spirit with temples and i love everything about them. And also it's nice to leave the walls of the MTC even if it's for just a minute.  I have come to find that Mexico City is crazzzzy as the cars are driving an inch away from each other and you make eye contact with someone in the car next to you as you are about an inch apart and you just stare at each other for a couple seconds haha.  The mission so far has been such a different but such a cool but also such a different experience, and although sometimes i just want to be in Utah. ...
