Hey right now I am doing my first set of laundry for the first time by myself. And that is so cool that Melissa is going to have the baby this week. I wrote a letter before I sent this email so it might say a couple of the same things. But life is great here at the MTC, they serve you all the food you can eat, I need to stop before I become fat. But everything else is quite exciting like my companion and I are went and taught a mock lesson to a lady that was born in Samoa and then moved to Hawaii. It was scarry at first but then my companion and I were able to teach here and she even committed to baptism. But for now i'll send you letters so I have more than 30 minutes to write and read. And thank you so much for the package. Oh and Angie Hancock sent me a letter to. And thank you for all that you do for me!!! This has been a big learning experience so far. I love you so much, and can't wait until I see you again.

Hey mom I have 10 more minutes before it is up so I will send you another email. But my companion is from Logan and his name is Elder Conrad Beach. But the food has been good and it ranges from burritos to turkey and potatos and everything in between. And my nerves about teaching have been calmed because I have had to rely on the spirit. But this Thursday we are going to teach a member and a investigator, she has some concerns about why we go to church for three hours, but everything else she has learned she has loved. But what is Grandparents Taylor's address? How is the life at home? How is Natalie doing without me? And how is Melissa doing? And how is Dad? And I hope that Ryan Downard is able to go out on a mission. I would hate to not be able to go and do this. And the letter that Angie said that she hopes that Haden will go on a mission. I think that it would be way good for Haden to go on a mission. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me to bring me to this point. Well my time is spent but I love you so much.
