Email and finally PICTURES!!!

Finally we got some pictures from the MTC.  He looks fantastic.  He wrote on the back of each one of them so I will write what he put on them for those who follow and for him when I print this blog for him.  He looks like he is having a great time and so happy.  Oh, I want to fix the punctuation, but I'm not going to.  His handwritten letters are grammatically correct.  He told me he feels rushed on the computer, so I've chosen to keep them exactly as he sends them to us. 

Hola como la va el dia? Entoces este semana fue muy bien, just the regular schedule and what not. So oh freak ya Richard G Scott came and spoke to us man bomb.com he was so cool just an all around nice guy. Did you know though that he is way short i have no idea but i would guess around 5'5 ish or so anyways way cool apostole. um geeze im trying to think if really anything going on as i think hopefully some stuff comes to mind like in the trc a teaching activity we do we did it this week in toda espanol, Hijole muy dificil pero muy divertido. we taught this dude about la restaracion it was nuts 30 min lesson in total spanish minus probably 6 words or so, so that was pretty cool. Thanks so much for the package i havent opened it yet since i havent been back to my room since the temple pero estoy anemado (Very Excited) haha so we got a new district in our zone today finally we are not the new ones anymore but it was way funny cause they all asked how old we were because just like it was for us we seem alot older than them haha way funny cause we are all pretty much the same since we have been here. um some days here we have like district goals to speak only spanish for a day..........these days are very quiet as you probably could imagine except for a bien o gracius here and there. Thank you all for the letters you send me i love em they get me through the days for sure. Some days are awesome and others i walk out of class thinking ok i sat in class for 4 hours straight and i understood 10% of it ridiculous but when i get a letter from you guys it really pumps me up. So Kylie had here baby thats right on how is Ezra Fitts Doing these days? Entonces what else has gone on no se um just go to class...... go eat........go to class......gym!!!!!!... go eat......and class and that is about it to tell you the truth on paper it sounds pretty boring but you gotta live in it to really understand that it's way fun, so where are you and elder petersons familia going to dinner? oh and stetson can you take a pic of yourself with the 50mm2 on cause The elders in our room were talking about watches and sure everybody knows about the nixon 51-30 but noone knows what a rockwell is and i wanna just blow their minds so if you could take a pick of you flashin it or something that would be superbien. ummm Josh stevens is here a way good kid i talked to him the other day for a little bit hes so stoked to go to New York hes nice. So any other plans for the summer end of school flip thats almost here football? Work? Que es Nuevo? anyways love you all thanks for everything you have done for me.  Stetson and Caleb appreciate mom and dad they are so bomb even in the MTC elders do not have parents like we have.  We are truly blessed to have them. Be nice do not argue or fight with them. They know what's up for sure, so listen.
Well Love ya. Come What may and Love It!

Elder Wagners last night, such a cool kid, love him

After getting these pictures I still miss him like crazy, but I'm not worried at all.  He's just fine.

Here's another letter, this one handwritten that I am typing for our records.   It's a good one...Enjoy...

What's up family?   How are you guys all doing.  Well it's P-day my laundry is being washed and I am outside on a table writing dang it's nice today.  So let me tell you about all the people I am here with.  So Elder Peterson you already know, way sick.  Elder Westermann, Peterson's comp he is from Texax.  Elder Grimes 23 years old from Freson Cali, his comp Elder Brewer from Shiloh, AZ so funny.  Elder Porter from Ogden, UT nice, quiet kid.  Elder DRuetzar quiet, but nice.  Mostly everyone is pretty cool.  I will send some pics so you can all get a visual of them.  Anyways, still studying a load everyday.  Non-stop espanol is good I'll learn it soon, but it just takes time right?  So, let's see some things that go on here.  On Sundays we have devotionals and they are followed by a movie like Testaments, Joseph Smith, ect. Sundays are the best, not gonna lie.  Music and the Spoken Word, study w/no teacher, temple walks, Sundays win for sure.  Also on Tuesday we have firesides this last one was Elder Rasband from the 70's  Remember about his talk in Priesthood last year on mission calls being inspired.  He talked way bomb.  Oh by the way it is very true about in two weeks you will learn more Spanish here than in 2 years of school.  Ridiculous, I know.  Pero es verdabdero.  Other than that days are just days.

Thank you so much for the Cheetos, he loved them.  Words really can't describe how awesome it was giving it to him.  He was stoked.  Don't know how he eats them, Cheetos w/Lime nasty but whatever.  Thank you.  Also, thank you for all the notes and letter I love everyone of them, thank you.

27 years since you were here huh Dad.  Man, that's crazy to think about.  Um oh before I forget should I buy a calling card from here or what for the airport.  I know it's still pretty far away but just a head's up.

How's 4 Pillar Fitness going, do you like it?  And it sounds like Boston Rob is at it again in Survivor.  My license is in here, please keep it, I love this pic.  Did you get my message about the quote on the plaque?  Well, anyways, seems like pretty much all is the same at home.

Stetson can you get the Harry Potter book off of my desk the 7th one and give it to Jake Brown at school.  It's Morgan's and she was wondering if I still had it.  And I do/did so please do that.

Ok all is good, love you all.  Tell everyone Hi, including Zoie!

Come What May and Love it! 

Love, Elder Clayton
