Hey Mom! I´m glad you´re all back safe and sound in Arizona! That´s amazing people can be in Argentina and then in Arizona in a matter of days. So how´s life with all of you? Did you enjoy Argentina? How´s the culture and the people?
Yeah my companion´s doing well. I just need to be his friend, before I do anything. He´s a good guy.
So you got an e-mail from Sydney? That´s awesome, could you send me her address, street not e-mail? I would like to write her sometime. Are you guys gonna go and visit Nana and Papa sometime to let them see Sterl?
Mom, how specifically has the restored gospel (including faith, repentance, baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost) blessed your life? I have been thinking about the gift of the Holy Ghost. Many people here aren´t members of the church but have told me they still feel the joy and peace of living a Christ-like life. They aren´t Mormons, they don´t have the gift of the Holy Ghost or the Book of Mormon. I guess I´m just confused because there are happy people in this world without the gospel. How are we different from them? How does the Holy Ghost work differently with us than it does with them? I am glad you are all home safe! Tell Dad and everyone hi. The computer here is being really slow. I hope you all have a great week! Help Sterling to go to BYU! It would be cool if he was up there! I love you, Russell
Oh and I did get my package! All of the Mexican elders like to share, especially when they don´t share anything in return. But it´s okay, they didn´t have food, and I did. It´s kind of the culture here. People just give us food and are really liberal with what they have. I think that´s how they expect us to be! I love you!
Russell
