Hey Mom, Hey Dad,
I cannot explain how much I miss you guys. For the first couple of days I really wanted to go home, it seemed like everyone that I ran into already spoke Spanish, even the new missionaries. My companion was driving me crazy, still is. My bed was way too small and I couldn't stop thinking about home and my family. We have been teaching this fake investigator Jovani for a couple of days now. It was hard for me because I wasn't able to communicate with him and my companion Elder Coomer wouldn't shut up! It felt like all my endless prayer and study was just a waste of time. Yesterday when teaching Jovani I was able to understand him and communicate a little with him. I am far far from fluent, but I have seen the grace of GOD carry me through this time. I know that I am here for a reason! I love you guys so much!!! GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
Love your son, your brother, your missionary,
Elder Atwood
P.S. Tell mom my room and closet are her type of clean so she taught me well.
This is Canyon's second email later in the day.
I love you guys all so much and miss you everyday, but I know that the Lord needs me here and I am happy to be here. I apparently got a new nickname, it's basketball. I guess I was playing and some people thought I was pretty good but honestly everyone sucks... not to be rude or anything. Anyways, I love you all so much and I pray for you guys everyday. I love you guys.
Love, Elder Atwood
