First Letter (Email):

Hey Ma,

Thanks for the the talk.  That's sweet!! So I don't know if you know this, but I kinda stink at talking a lot so if this is short I apologize!

But things here are going way good!  I'm district leader, and its been a way good experience. Our district always seems to have good district meetings, which usually just turn into testimony meetings! I got a lot of pictures for you so far but I can't send them until I get out of here!

The language is going alright, but I'm not too worried about it cause I know that if I just work on trying to grow my testimony that the language will come. I have been reading a lot in Joseph Smith history, like my patriarchal blessing said and I just read Alma 32... Blew me away!

Sounds like the boys and Jazlyn are doin way good! How you and pa holdin up!?

Oh it's awesome here too, it's awesome cause you get to feel the spirit here so strong everyday, its a rare occasion if I don't ball like a wawa (ketchuwin for baby). I guess in Peru and Hauncayo they speak like 3 different languages so it'll be cool to see if I can learn as much as I can. I just made some flashcards to help me with my Spanish.  It's coming along ok like I said, probably just as much as everyone else.

Everybody makes a big deal about me being a marine, and honestly its getting a little annoying... but I am the arm wrestling champ of the CCM (MTC)!  There is an Elder here that does the mickey mouse voice for Peru's Disneyland. He is a latino and is in the room next to mine. My room-mates names are Elder Albrecht, Quesne (but pronounced Kane) -- he is actually from the UK and is hilarious, Elder Herrin and he is super cool, he is probably the most like me, Elder Butterfield (Elder Butterfly), he is quiet, but I secretly think he is a spiritual giant! And my companion Elder Madsen is so funny and has got a big heart! I love it here guys, it's awesome! And Jazzy I love you and good job in your games and good luck.

Sorry its so short!!

Love all yall

Elder Bullock
