Here is his first email. It was in a couple parts, so pardon if it doesn't make sense. He was also answering questions we sent.

Everything is good in mexico, they told us the water is actually good cuz it comes from from their well, they advised not to send packages or letters from US to Mexico, they might not get here before i leave, but if you wanted to buy something online thats made in Mexico and send it to me that works well 😁💩

My schedule is pretty much a ton of studying from 8 until 8 with breaks here and there. i havent seen Elder Te yet but i have been looking, they dont really have other missionaries come in the CCM(what we call the MTC). we dont go on excursions, unless we go to the temple on P-Day, which we are doing today, we r only allowed to take pictures on P-Day, which i will take alot. we do pray alot, probly more than ten times a day.

My companion is Elder Jensen, he and my whole district are great, the cord for the camera is the wrong one so i cant upload some pictures right now. the spanish is all right, im still not fluent, but thats ok because sometimes in our native language, we over complicate and in a new language you have to speak more simply so thats better for investigators. we have taught an "investigator" five times now, all in spanish, so they went well, but they could have been better. we have had to rely on the spirit alot.

The exchange rate from US dollars to pesos is 1 US dollar equals about 18 pesos, and everything in the store is cheap, like a full size spanish Hymn book is 40 pesos, and a gatorade was 8 pesos. for christmas i dont know what i want yet so i will think about it. you can send The Lukie Times to whoever you want post it on facebook, but if there is anything you want to keep to yourselves im KO with that. tell Becca and Marine Boy to stop crying. too bad about the car, and even through e-mail your pronunciation is terrrible Dad.

If you guys want me to but you guys something in Mexico let me know and i will try to find it, cuz things here are cheap.

Love you guys,

and mom, i have a deep regard for you as well

I forgot to tell you about the food. it is good, we have costco pizza, the big slices, every tuesday night, the only problems i have with the food, was this cucumber juice, and the chicken on monday night had feathers in it still, and weirds little hairs, other than that, the food is great, and we can eat as much as we want. And send these to anyone who wants to know how im doing. Adios.

Uno mas. we had a general authority speak last night, it was good, i liked it alot. He was Elder Helemán Montejo of the Fourth Quorum of the Seventy. HA! i told you there were more than one quorum of the seventy. 😝🖖 And i started making a Quotable Quotes section in my journal of all the funny things my district.
