Here is a little from his letter at the end of September:

09/28/2026 

Hola todos, qué tal? Finishing up my first entire week here in the field and its not bad. Its a little difficult to adjust to missionary life cause the CCM was nothing near being a missionary haha. I'm getting a little homesick but not horrible. I'm getting more used to being rejected or not answered. Spanish es muy difícil pero mi compañero says that I speak it alright so that's good. 

 

BACKYARD FUN............. really?
