Hello Garr family,This is your favorite missionary! Things here are really good, I like my companion and most of my district. The food here is not quite swedish meatball or dutch oven quality but its bearable. The language is INSANE!!! they say its the 2nd hardest language they teach here, second only to finnish and thats only because finnish is tonal. But i'm picking up on it surprisingly well. I really like the MTC the spirit here is awesome. Tuesdays are my preparation day and the only day i can email or write home... so no i haven't forgoten you guys. The MTC has some quirky rules like i can't call people dude or say you guys, thats an adjustment. Korean is the most intense thing i've ever tried to learn but its good. Thank you sooo much for all of you support and letters, keep them coming, they make me stay positive and happy, thanks mom for sending me the gum, but the sad thing is missionaries aren't supposed to chew gum haha. I miss you guys very much and love getting letters from you because they make me feel closer to home.I've seen alot of my friends from high school here and thats good,i love being here, but i miss being home to... so please don't think i'll get annoyed with your letters cause i don't and never will, well i got to go i'll try and write some letters later.

i love all of you so much
