Email Numero 1

Family! I miss you guys more than anything else my MTC life is lacking. And that's saying a lot. I really do miss you guys though, I love ya lots too. But you know that. So I'm hoping this email works. The internet here has been freaking out, and no one was able to log in to their email account for a good solid hour or so of our alotted email time. This just might kick me out, so I should probs stop rambling about that. But I should probably let you know that my good bud Elder Zubeck is creeping on me and reading this over my back right now, so I probably won't say anything too risky here. Wait for the next email for that. He's a good guy though. I'm honestly having a great time here. It's not as easy a time as hanging out at home since mid-April has been, but it's worth it. The difficult times aren't all that difficult, and when things get a little bumpy it's only because I'm learning and growing as a missionary. And as a person I'd even venture to say. The guy's in my district are nuts, but I love them. It's one of those situations where you're put with people you most likely wouldn't find yourself hanging out with in the real outside world, but they're all awesome. We have a strong district, we take the study and class time we have seriously and work hard. But it's not all serious here. There are three other elders I'm closest too and we make sure we squeeze in some time for some fun. Well, as much fun as you can squeeze in here. When we have study time the 4 of us go to our own secret study spot, it's called the Bird's Nest. It's the top floor of the tallest building and we're right next to a window overlooking P-Town. I've been trying to use my time as best I can here because I know how important it will be out in the field to be as prepared as I can be. But I'm squeezing in some laughs, I decided a good thing for me to always be working on is making sure I find a good balance between fun and focus.

One of the four elders I talked about is my companion. His name's Elder Russan. He's a baseball player from Lehi, Utah fresh out of high school. He's a good guy. We work well together in lessons and get along great. Zubeck is a hilarious kid from Delta, Utah.


So.....there are a lot of email problems going on right now. I was able to log in on my friend's account but half of my email to you guys wasn't saved. I'm down to 3 minutes left of typing so We just have to leave it here. But I'll send you a letter today too. sorry this has been crazy. I love you guys, hopefully I'll be able to send a more solid email next week. The church is true! Love ya lots.

Tues. night was Dylan's setting apart. Stake President Brennan was here and Bishop Schoessow. Tears and sweet things to remember. Love our boy. Miss him lots. Happy he gets to go work hard on a full time mission.

Straight from Dylan's facebook: Well I guess this is it. 2 years in Detroit. I can't say I know what's in store for me over there, but I do know it's going to be pretty epic. Thanks for all of the love and support I've already started to get from you guys. Feel free to write and fill me in on what's going on in the real world. My rockin' mom is updating a blog about my trip, check it out to see what I've been up to and to find out how to contact me.

Some last advice from big brother Sean: Live every princilple you learn through the Spirit. Live every principle in Preach My Gospel and the scriptures and every word from your spiritual leaders. Love, serve, and continue forward in your work. You won't always see results from your work. You might have to wait until heaven to see most of them. The success you see will be in you, and only you can measure it. You'll learn everything you need. The Lord will teach you everything He needs you to know to help His children if you do what's right. You're going to have so much fun and help so many people get closer to eternal happiness! I'm so excited to see you do this. I love you, Sean

Dylan spoke in church today to say farewell for two years. Mission to Detroit, Michigan! Gonna be cold when he gets there. It's always hard to say goodbye and we hate to say it. Love that he is serving outside himself and giving of himself. Can't ask for a better son. He's adorable and wise beyond his years. We are so proud of and inspired by Dylan. Makes me laugh every day. Bon voyage and ciao baby lamb. Love ya lots!

Missionary advice for the day: "When a big mean dog attacks you, Elder, just remember, you don't have to run faster than the dog, ... you just have to outrun your companion."
