Snail mail and bonus email

Hi There. Mom here. We were blessed, this week, to receive 2 extra communications with Elder Moss. We received an extra email (due to lack of time on their scheduled p-day -- 4 elders, one computer, 1 hour -- see below) and a letter that came in the mail. Here they are. Enjoy!

Hey dad I miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so grateful for you and the example you set for me! Being out here has really helped me to be able to go to the Lord for a lot especially with the Language!!!! My Spanish is slowly but surely coming along!!!!! My trainer Elder Boggess says that I am learning the language way faster than he did and he thinks that I will be able to have full conversations with the people in Spanish by the end of my first six weeks!!!! I can't wait to be able to talk to the people a lot of them know English so they talk to me that way and I respond in Spanish it really has helped me to learn the Language!!!! I love and Miss you so much and can't wait until May to see you!!!!! By that point I would have been out for 6 months!!!! I love this gospel so much and I love being here everyday I love my district leaders and I love everyone in my district. One thing I wish would happen more that the members would help us out we don't have bikes or cars and it takes us an hour or more to walk to some appointments because no one is willing to help.. So ALWAYS remember to help the missionaries it really helps and makes their day so much better.. I love you and I will talk to you next week!!!!!!

 

Your Only Son
