MTC Handwritten Letter

August 9, 2012

Dear Family,

Tuesday we had devotional and the person that spoke was Elder Dellenbach. He taught us to give our thoughts to God. The days are feeling like minutes now. It’s hard to believe it’s only been eight days, I feel like it has been eight weeks. The people here are great, but the food here is even better. The first few days I felt tired, but now I’m awake and hard at work. The most progress I’ve had is with the teachers, they understand me. I have an Elder in my zone that is really fun. My smile is shining really bright. Oh and before I forget, how’s my little bud Mason? This place feels a little like home.

Quincy, Shane, Caleb, I want you guys to know I miss you and I want you to know I think of you daily. So stay strong. Shane and Quincy, I was wondering if you’ll learn the Haka for me and if you’ll perform it for me when I return. So, I’ll give you two years to perfect it. Josh and Jamie, just keep smiling and help mom and dad. I wish you could see me and my district. We have a threesome in our group.

If you see the Bishop, Price, Rustin, Milton, Ted and their families, tell them hi for me—and tell the whole ward I’m doing great.

Your,

Elder Reber

P.S. Send me more ties, please.

P.S.S. Mariah, I know the Lord loves you and he wants to hear your voice.
