Week 4

Hello everyone!  Greetings from the mission field....


So all is well! I got assigned to the Sandy area! I'm over Crescent Ridge Stake and Sandy East Stake(Brent Bateman, my dad's cousin, is in the Stake Presidency of the Crescent Ridge Stake). 
 
My companion is Elder Costa, he is from Brazil and he has been out for 6 months. He was in West Jordan for a bit speaking Portuguese before he was transferred to Sandy and 6 weeks ago he went from Portuguese speaking to English speaking.  His English isn't very good and is really hard to understand at times but he is s good person who genuinely cares about everyone and is focused on doing work.
  
I had a good birthday in the MTC, it didn't feel like a good birthday till late at night when we were having District prayer and I got a letter that had a short message from everyone on it in my District and a box of cosmic brownies. I soon realized I wasn't with my physical family and maybe that's why I was sort of sad throughout the day but then I noticed that I was with my family the whole day. My District was amazing and they all are family to me. I have gained a love for ice cream at the MTC, especially graham canyon, wow is that stuff good. I had a good experience in the MTC and will miss it! Looking forward to what comes next here on the mission field. Eyes up and do the work! 

Love,

Elder A-A-RON

Here are a couple of pictures that we received on Friday night and Sunday morning from the Jones family in Sandy.
