Got a letter today!

Well, two letters, but one was a thank you card he wrote before he left but forgot to leave with us. I think he meant for his letter to arrive yesterday, since he listed a few things for FHE, but since the mail isn't delivered on holidays...

"Hey! Feb. 17, 2011

So it's been an interesting TWO days, but it feels like a week. My first companion is Elder Strong. But... turns out he's not that strong, because he's leaving tomorrow. Only a day and a half in, and he's decided to leave. I think it stinks, but oh well, no changing his mind. So starting tomorrow I'll be part of a 3-some with Elder Larson and Elder Gylling. Elder Larson was called as district leader, and me and Elder Gylling were called as senior companions. Larson & Gylling are both going to the Riverside, Cali mission. My departure date is estimated at March 7th. In my class there is me, Larson, Gylling, Sister Dunn, Sister Perry, Sister Ete, and Sister Shaw. They're going to (in order) Detroit, Riverside, Riverside, Detroit, New Zealand, Riverside and Riverside, all English speaking, so all of our leaving dates are the same day. I gotta get going, but I want to say I love you guys and I'm missin' ya! Say hi to everyone for me. I won't be writing everyone at once, ya know? So it will be staggered. Love ya guys!

Love,

ELDER (whoa!) Jones

PS - you can send the BSU tie! Tell Vince he was right!

PPS - bigger envelopes would be cool too.
