Sorry it’s a Grammatical Disaster!

THANK YOU MATT for the Wendy's!!! (moms note: Matt and his good friend with connections went to the MTC one night with a big bag of Wendy's and dropped it off with Scott. Scott was VERY Suprized to see Matt, not only that, but he was bearing gifts of food.) Fast Food!

Matt is appreciated by our whole zone. Funny story, I was so surprised to get the food and was so excited. Then I started to feel guilty about it right before I ate it. So I went and told my Branch president and he replied "well if your mom sent you brownies would you eat them". His logic was superb. He then said he appreciated me bringing it up with him. So i settled on sharing with my whole district that way no one felt like they got left out or offended. It was perfect ‘cause everyone was so excited about it and so I gave the burgers to my best buddies, and shared everything else and told everyone not to be greedy. They liked it!

Life is great, but I don’t have a ton of time today so this may be short... sorry, just getting ready to go is not too quick... pretty much all business in this one, I will real life talk to you on Monday... not sure how long that will be but we will see!

First off, I have not yet received your package, but to anyone considering sending me a package I have determined that those peanut-butter chex things mom sent me reign supreme as the best treat!

Life is great. I understand all of the Spanish concepts that we have learned and can do them ALL on paper, but when it comes to speaking them all I am not so great, I am ok "not great" at conjugations and future tense, and subjunctive. But Direct object and Indirect object is wrecking me. But I am still above average at speaking it so I am fine. I have worked hard so it will come... Just a slightly humbling experience!

I have had the opportunity to talk to Elder Johnson quite a bit. He is alot of fun and we have actually become pretty good friends in the week that he has been here. It’s crazy because after all these years we have been able to just pick up and be friends again. It’s cool!

Laur thanks for the Dear Elder! I did not want to write you back and have you not get it for like 2 weeks so I will write you once I have a chance in Cincinnati. Have Fun and Be Safe!

Dad, Good luck tomorrow at your meeting. I know things will work out and this will be successful. I love you and am proud of you for doing this. PS happy fathers day!
Ok so that’s about it for me!!!

I am way excited to go. Kinda nervous about starting off at the bottom of things again! I can see now that I needed to go Spanish speaking because I needed this 9 weeks to help improve myself before I could possibly go teach other people.

Love you all
Elder Stiles
