Hey i made it here to Columbia! My first area is in Myrtle Beach!! haha right by the ocean. But we cant go to close its off limits. My Companion is cool, he is From Idaho and has been out about a year. He speaks real good spanish. I cant write too much today, cause its not my real Preperation day, its really Monday. Which will be nice cause its the same as before. But my companion didnt get to email monday so we are doing it today instead, so i got to drop you a little line just to let you know i made it here safe. My President is really nice, he is Bruce R. McConkie's son for sure. I found out. He is like 6'6" he is huge. His wife is a really nice lady she talked my leg off the whole way back to the Mission home my first night. But she is way nice. Ill tell ya more stuff next Monday But its going real good here. The guys we live with are cool too. Real fun, i can tell it will be different just with learning the language just cause i wont be fully immersed but it will be okay. Just gotta study hard. Also its kinda hard to find people, gotta kinda look for signs of hispanic neighborhoods.. Like JR told me. Like clues outside their houses. haha But i know it will be great. I still feel really good about this mission. I know its where im supposed to be. Ill continue to rely on my Savior each day to help me find people, and push through my health struggles. I know he will sustain me. There is no greater calling then the one that i have now. Im excited to fully get back into it. Bye From South Carolina
