Stewart Update

We received our first e-mail from Stewart today. They say the waiting and missing gets easier after the first letter. It's true!! Here is an excerpt:

The MTC is so much fun, I have TONS of pictures... I am going to send some home for you to see Thursday, (Thats when they will be ready) and then you can see somewhat of what I have been up to... Its a really nice place here, the spirit is really strong and in being here only 4 days, I can say a Prayer and Testimony In Fluent Spanish... thats power! It is such an awesome place here and I love it. I want to get out to Chile though. I met this teacher that served in my Mission about a year ago. She said the Presdent is such an AWESOME President and he speaks english so thats good. He and his wife both graduated from BYU up here and have moved back and forth from here in the USA and Chile alot. Each Companionship has cell phones, so that will be a cool thing. There are about 150 mssionaries in my mission, plus or minus 20 because of people coming and leaving, and it rains ALOT! 8 In n August! I hear that we have to wear those rubber boots that come up to your Knee and plastic to keep us dry.... thats so exciting!!! I cant wait!

Mondays just became my new favorite day!!!
