Hey Mommy!!

So, basically the mission has been great to me so far.

But let me talk about Jace's date first... WHAT?!? That is SO amazing. I am SO happy for him. :) He has a kind little heart, and nothing would make me happier than knowing that he is happy as well. I guess you could say my missionary blessings are already

affecting mi familia:) Secondly, my companion is great! We have gotten along really well, and haven't really argued at all. We have a lot of differences, but we make it work. The language is coming so much better now. I’m getting the hang of a lot of it, but I have TONS more to learn. Like I can get my point across, but it is still incorrect grammar and such.

Yeah I have heard from others besides family! Me and K have written a few times, and Haley and Austin wrote me. But that’s about it so far. But it has only been two weeks! So I’m not too worried about anything. I hope I get mail from a lot of people though. So my teachers that I have are really awesome,

and they are very helpful, it’s like they teach me how I need to understand it. The Gift of Tongues is an incredible thing. Be prepared when you talk to me that I will use a lot of spanish:) So I am missing home occasionally, but it gets better each day. I can’t believe it has already been 10 days!! It feels literally like you just dropped me off 2 days ago! This mission is going to fly.

T has been in my prayers a lot, and I really hope things are okay. I know things will get better soon, because The Lord keeps reassuring me every time I pray. My prayers are giving me so much strength!

My district!

Anyway, I just want to let you know that I am doing great, and that I love you SO much. :)

Love, Your favorite and sexiest missionary, Elder Shaddick :)
