Email #2


Hi Mom and Dad!!! I am great!! Thanks so much for your package!! I actually left my shampoo stuff in the shower one day, and it went missing... so thats why i needed some more! every day is basically the same here! I'll mail you home my daily schedule when I can be done with it.. I just have to find it first. Elder M. will be my companion for the entire 9 weeks we have here, and we're going to be zone leaders our whole stay also! My spanish is coming along good! I say all of my prayers in spanish now, and we all have to write a 5 minute talk everysunday in spanish because the talks are chosen at random as soon as sacrament starts. Sacrament meeting right now is with our branch (our zone) and we only have 3 districts right now, but we're getting another district on wednesday and Elder M. and I get to give them the Zone Leader tour! we're going to make the new district smell the cream soda tree and we'll take pictures of them! it will be way funny!! gage left today for Chile! I got to see him for the last time last night and we took a picture and exchanged some hugs! i need his mail info for Chile also so I can write him when I get into the field!! The food here is okay.. It gives our whole district bad gas all the time, and I miss food from home way bad! I had a chance to go to the temple for the first time here today, and I did sealings! Missionaries aren't allowed to be a proxy for a dad or husband but we are witness' and sons a lot! It was a fun and very spiritual experience! I'm glad to know you all had a great spring break! It feels like I have only been gone for a couple days! time is already going by incredibly fast!!
    Yesterday I had the most spiritual sunday I have had for a long time!! Last week we were able to hear from Elder Packar, and then on tuesday we heard from Brother McMullen who was just realesed from the presiding bishopric. Yesterday We had the awesome experience to hear from Elder M. Russel Ballard and he gave a great talk on missionary work, we then had a special musical number by Elder A. and he sang El Espiritu de Dios (The spirit of God) in both english and spanish! The spirit was so strong last night! we watched the Testaments last night also and at the end our whole district of 8 elders was crying like babies. I love these elders and we are already growing so close! elder Shepherd and Elder C. are leaving us in like a week and a half to go to the D.R. MTC and I'm really going to miss them!!
      Howe was the visit with Clint and Trevor? I'm so excited to hear where Justin and Trevor are going to serve their missions! I got a letter from Bryckelle and I wrote her and Brayden and I'm going to send it today.. I'm going to write Shelbie a letter today too but I might not get it into the mail box until tomorrow. I'm waiting on my travel info and I might not get it for like a month. I'm going to sign up for a haircut for next monday! and My laundry is going very well! Luckily I have an amazing Mom who taught me how to take care of myself! I'll mail my SD card home sometime this week so you can see all of my pictures! I got to take a picture with Gage, and Dallin O. Yesterday at the Temple Walk and they both left today so I was glad to be able to get a picture with both of them! the funny thing is a random guy held up his baby girl right next to Gage and I in the picture so there is a baby girl in the picture too! It's cute!

    Kynsie!! I'm glad to know you guys had fun at the City Creek center! It sounds awesome! Oh and maybe when I get home I'll finally read the Uglies books because you like them so much!! I hope spring break was fun! It sure sounded like it was! I Love you Kynsie and I love reading your letters! You always make me laugh! I miss you!!

    Brindler!! How come on my last letter you didn't draw me something..? I'm excited that you're the oldest!! It's fun huh!? I'm excited to know how mowing the lawn was is for you tomorrow, and how many spots Dad makes you go back and re-mow! Maybe by the time I come home you'll be as pro as me.. but probably not. I want to see what your hair looks like too! haha especially if you look like the Little Mermaid! Maybe you should dye it like Princess Bubblegum! I miss ya buddy! I hope everything is going good for you! Remember that you can only be as happy as you want to be! :P Description: https://mail.google.com/mail/e/35D  <- did that work??

  Anyway! I can't wait to hear back from you soon!! I love all of you!! I pray for you like 12 times a day! (I've never prayed more in my life than since I've been here)

            Love you!!!
                 -Elder Talon Hone
