Surprise Saturday Email and Photos!

Hola!!

Welp, the days here are getting fewer and fewer! We leave on tuesday a las dos de la madrudaga. (2 A.M.). Our plane takes off around 6 A.M. and then it´s off the Dallas. From Dallas we go to Seattle and then Pasco. It´s getting oh so crazy realizing the field is only a few days away. Being here has been incredible but I am very ready to go. The spanish has certainly been improving but there is so much still to come. I cannot believe how great being a missionary is and feeling the spirit so often is such a blessing. Did you get the picture sent on monday from one of the teachers here? I gave her your email and hopefully it made it. We should be able to email again on monday for 1/2 hour-ish. Looking back it still seems like we just got here!!!

This picture is of our District and one our teachers here. I never expected the teachers to be so incredible and I really will miss all the one´s we´ve had so dang much. The peeps in the district from right to left are Front: Elder Woodward (supermodel/football player/big softie) Hermana Williams (just graduated and is heading to Kennewick with us) Hermana Moody (doesn´t talk much but super spiritual smart and good at the piano) Hermana Bittle (DOES NOT STOP LAUGHING) Hermana Allison (basically the second district leader) Hermano Tapai (one of the nicest guys in all of Mexico) Elder Davison (my companion and the spiritual giant) Elder Spackman (guy with the strang foot...) Back Row: Elder Poulter (from SLC and a great example of hard work) Elder Watson (crazy smart and likes to ´´pray so fervently it looks like he´s sleeping´´) Elder Watkins (the district leader from Kaysville and honestly the 2nd Spencer in all the ways possible) Elder Hales (crazy nice and very into robotics) Elder Mercado (the only name our teachers can actually say easily).

The other guy in this picture is Hermano Soto´s cousin and Elder Davison and I have been able to teach him a few times. It was during one of these I really felt like a missionary for the first time and the spirit was extremely strong. The three of us have become really good friends and he´s an amazing example to both of us. He´s also possibly going to BYU in a few years so that´s exciting as well. Getting to know and teaching him has really been one of the foremost spiritual experiences I´ve had.
