Hi mom! and Family! and whoever else may read this email! I have arrived safely in mexico and begin training tomorrow! I cannot tell you how excited i am to be here! There was over 30 missionarys on my flight alone and they said 110 arriving today! The work is so true, it will roll forth like a stone cut out of the mountain without hands.

So, quick story, on the plane ride to mexico, a man sitting close to me started asking about the church and so me and another elder answered questions. as it turned out he was a non denominal christian and was a speacker for christianity in his own faith. Although we didnt agree on docterine points we where able to have a considerate conversation about christ. He actually beleived in the same basic things that we do but didnt seam to understand that his beleifs where actually in line with the churches. Luckily we both ended on a good note and i felt and beleive he felt the spirit. Hopefully i was respectfull and he will maybe have changed some of his misconceptions on the church :)

Anyways, i must go, we have lots to do! But, here is my address and stuff!
