Wow i made it to my first P-day. I didn't think this day would ever
come. I can't believe its finally here. So a little about my Companion
Elder Reeder. He is from Brigham city. He has an older brother and a
sister i believe. He is a good kid. So a little about what we do here.
So we've got personal, companion, and language study everyday. We also
have our 3 hour classroom instruction. This includes learning Spanish
and learning how to teach a lesson. Thats a great class. We have Hermano
Walker as our teacher and he does an amazing job. Jeff Toone also
teaches in the classroom next to mine. Its nice to see him around. Our
day also includes a 3 hour block where we teach a fake investigator. Its
already hard enough to teach the gospel plainly but to do that in
spanish is unreal. Its a great opportunity tough. I feel comfortable
bearing testimony and saying prayers in spanish, but the rest is slowly
moving along. Im excited for the day when i feel like i can communicate
our saviors message effectively in spanish. I work for that day. I will
have to say that there is nothing like spending an hour a day immersed
in the book of mormon. Im learning so much about the importance of daily
scripture study. I've relyed so much on prayer and have recieved
answers to my prayers through the scriputures. I challenge all of you to
take your scripture study more serious. Its blessed my life and i know
it will bless yours. Spencer W. Kimball says, "I find when i get casual
in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear
is listening and no divine voice is speaking that i am far, far way. If i
immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the
spirituality returns. I find myself loving more intensely those whom i
must love with all my heart and mind and strength, and loving them
more." What a wonderful promise for a prophet of the Lord.
Anyways I hope you all are doing good. Mom, dad, seth, sydney,
taci, kalli, kade, reagan, jace, and winston(had to put him in there) i
love you all so much! Thanks for the prayers. Thanks also for the
packages. I love the notes inside from you guys. Dad thanks for your
testimony in your letters. I appreciate the encouragement. Mom and
sisters thanks for taking care of Angie. She's an amazing girl isnt she.
I love her! Mom I love you! Thanks for the sacrafices you and dad have
made for me. Dad thanks for your hard work over the past few years. I've
learned a lot from you and mom! I love you dad! I couldn't be more
greatful for my family and all that you guys do for me! Thanks for
everything! Here is my moto for the next two years for me, its from dads
mission video, "Stand and Deliver!"

I loved reading this letter. So proud of J-Man! He looks so sharp as a missionary I know he will do great things. Seeing him with Spence made me smile. I was thinking when grandma leaves there will be 3 Brockbank missionaries. So exciting!
