THIS IS MY HANGOUT!

Hey Mom, 
I ran out of time and I couldn't email everyone, next time I just need to do a group email, haha. 
But will you please tell everyone if they didn't get an email, I'm sorry and I'll write them next week.   Love you!

Hi Mom, 
I was really surprised with the package. I didn't know how you got it to me. Please thank Everyone for writing those letters. You are so right mom the Spirit here is insane. I have been struggling a little with anxiety but I am pushing through. The food here has been good. We haven't eaten anything crazy yet, but it has been good. 

I have been so grateful for all of the examples of the other elders here. I am learning a lot and am constantly overwhelmed with information we need to learn or memorize. There has been lots of memorizing. I have learned so much through teaching actual lessons. 

My flight was about 16 hours and I sat next to Elder Rasband (who yes is related to The Elder Rasband) You'll see my room in the pictures. Mine is the bottom left bunk. My companion is Elder Lawer and He is a good guy. He is from England. It's chilly here in the morning but warms up as the sun comes up. we are in classes learning for about 16 hours a day, and have an hour to exercise at 3:30. I Love you so much.

Hi Pops, 

I really appreciated the little surprise with all of those letters it was really nice. It really helped me, I have been struggling a little with anxiety and home sickness but I have found so many scriptures to help me through it. Life in the MTC is pretty stressful ha-ha. I am already starting to feel super cooped up because of how small it is here. There is lots of teaching and learning. There is so much I want to learn but I feel like I can't learn it all and it kinda bugs me. The spirit is amazing here dad, Heavenly Father has helped me grow so much in so many ways. Thanks you so much for the thought It is so true. Love ya lots!

Hi family!

I just got here to the MTC, its almost 8:30 here, this email is supposed to be brief, but I just wanted to let you all know that I am so grateful for the love that you guys have shown me this past week. I am so grateful to have you guys in my life. I still can't believe that I am here in South Africa. On the way here I traveled with about 13 other Elders so that was pretty cool. I guess about 10 other missionaries didn't get their visas in time so they went to the Provo MTC instead. Anyways you guys are the best I sure love ya, and I guess I'll write you again next Tuesday.

Meeting up at the Atlanta Airport before heading to Johannesburg!

Some wonderful person at the airport text us this priceless picture.  So grateful!
