Hey Mom!

      How are you feeling?! I hope your surgery went well, i've been kinda worried. Thank you so much for sending me that awesome christmas box!! The things that were in there are going to be so helpful! The elders im my room were so suprised when you got them stuff! Elder Gunter told me to tell you that your the 2nd coolest mom in the world, and thats just because his mom has to be first ha! So this week has been pretty busy but way fun. we got a new district in our zone and me and my companion got to train them and give them a tour around the MTC! It was a blast! We are having alot of fun being the zone leaders because we get to spend alot more time with missionaries that arent just in our district, its awesome! So this week we had a member of the 70 come talk to us! His name was Steven E Snow! In his talk he mentioned being related to Erastus Snow. I didnt get to go and talk to him afterward cause fighting threw the crouds of missionaries was hard, but i sure did try! Well i hope your doing well and take it easy for the next few days. Tell chase that Jonny says he has to be your slave! I will be sending some pictures to you today so you will probably get them in the next few days. They are just of me and my district. I will talk to you later!

Now excitedly serving as an MTC zone leader!

Hey Family!!

              Things have been going extra awesome this week! You will never guess what happend. My zone here at the MTC has 34 missionaries in it. Our Zone Leaders were two elders going to Argentina. They left on monday with a few other elders for there missions, and our branch president met with me and my companion Elder Larsen and asked us to serve and be Zone Leaders. So this week has been extremely busy! We have a million things to do and so little time during the day! We had a new district of about 10 new elders enter our zone on wednesday, so we have a total of 31 elders and 3 sisters. At first i was pretty nervous about being a Zone Leader cause they have so much stuff to do and it looked pretty hard. But after a few days ive realized its not so bad, its actually really fun! Spanish is going well. Its still really hard but im learning alot. Last week i was talking to my branch president and he told us that our objective for our mission is not to learn spanish, its about preaching the gospel. The only reason we are learning spanish is because it will help us to teach the gospel. So if we are doing the things we are suppossed to be doing, then we will be blessed with the language. After he said that, it made me feel so much better! But anyways, things here are going great. Christmas here is going to be awesome! Another apostle will probably be here again soon so we are way excited for that! I hope things are going great back home, i really miss you guys!  Thanks for all of your awesome letters everyone! letters are like gold here at the MTC. Alright well i gotta run, i love you all!
