i miss american food so friggin much! ahhhhhhhh! anyways.  

its been getting better. slowly.  i still miss my other companion but i think it will be that way till... well who knows when.  the only thing i can tell you really is that i know that he will be really close in my life.  hes a lifelong friend and brother for sure.  anyways.

but its getting better.  this area is a little lame.  really boring. nothing new.  really old.  and the worst... IT HAS SCORPIONS!  and i saw my first one like 2 days ago. oh my gosh it freaked me out!  i have a picture that ill send.  it was inside our boiler when my companion was lighting it.  and he was really close to getting stung cuz it was so close to his hand. oh my gosh it scared me. so were going to be taking precautions to make sure our beds are protected and whatnot.  so ya anyways.

E-mail from January 23rd

hey guys everything is doing better. still hard. but better.  were opening an area if i didnt tell you guys. so a little pressure.  my companion is ok.  he reminds me of a mexican version of blaine.  i miss Elder Arroyo a ton. but i know ill see him again.  but its just hard yanno?  but anyways.

my companion is a little annoying with the rules and whatnot.  he doesnt follow his heart as much as the rules but yanno.  i mean its good to be obedient. but the spirit is definitely more important than the rules. but hes cool anyways.

anyways i dont have too much time.  but i want you guys to know im doing good. time is flying.  and the mission is sailing.  

the branch here is tiny. like 15-20 people who actually go to church here and thats it.  its pretty sad. so well have to see how it goes here.  the area itself is pretty sad too.  the coolest place here is an ice cream shop. and thats it.  the weather is dry, and there is tons of dust, and also supposevely a ton of scorpions.  so thats fun.  haha.

anyways, i sent some photos for you guys. i hope you got them. i love you guys a ton and i hope that everything is good. i gotta go. but ill be praying for you. ive heard its going pretty stressful there right now. so ill be sure to pray alot for you guys ok?

love you!

love Keon
