The First Letter!

The first letter arrived today ... it was post-marked 1-25-08, and is VERY short, but it brought a smile to all at our house. It sounds like Josh is doing great. Although he hasn't told us anything else about his companion, we do know that his companion is the District Leader and Josh says the other elders in his room are "pretty cool."

Apparently he also wandered over to the Chinese language area to flex his chinese on those going to Taiwan, according to Josh, "they thought it was cool that I could talk with them." As far as Spanish goes, he says that he is "already getting to greet everyone fully in Spanish." His tutor at the MTC is "none other than the studly Allen Tucker!" (our Bishop's son who was two years ahead of Josh in high school and who served a mission to the Mexico City mission ... Josh has looked up to him for several years).

Josh's P-Day will be on Mondays, and so we will be expecting letters on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

The phrases from his letter that seem most to sum up how things are going say: "I am OMEGA busy." "This is a cool place!"
