Somewhere.....Out there.....beneath the pale moonlight......

Our awesome Elder Merrill has been out in the field for a week now! We were (ok, MOM was) on pins and needles to finally hear from him and see how life as a missionary out of the MTC is going. So it was pretty exciting to get his email:

Heya everybody!

    How are you all doing? I'm fine here. Things are good. I have alot of things that I could tell you about my first week here but I can't. In order to email you guys I need a library card that allows me an hour, but I don't have a library card yet. I'm in the process of getting one that should allow me an hour long time, but I only have 15 minutes as of now. I just want to say that I love you all and things are going great here. My Spanish is coming along fine and I'm in good health. The place I'm staying at is good and I have a great companion. Things are starting out a little fast and a little slow. The funny thing is, you have slow days, but fast weeks. Anyway, I hope this reaches you guys and that you all are doing good back in Arizona.  I know that a mission may seem like a long time, but I think it'll be over before I know it. I gotta go now! Love you all!

So as you can see, Elder Merrill is in good spirits and seems to be adjusting to his new adventure fairly well.  But, with the short time on the computer, we didn't get any information on those pesky little details like "Hey Elder Merrill, where exactly in South Carolina are you????"  

 

Mom's guessing game for this week.....which part of South Carolina is Elder Merrill in??? It's a mystery still but he is obviously doing well so mom will relax and add a library card to her personal prayer list :) What a joy this young man is to us!!!!
