We just received Andrew’s first letter, it’s dated Feb. 7th the day he entered the Provo MTC.

It reads;





The first day is over and I think this letter is going to bring me some peace. I already miss you guys a lot. I think I’m still ok or going to be ok. The Spirit is strong here and I’m still excited to serve. I know it’s going to be hard but I know the Lord is with me.

I’m the only one in my district going to Peru. Most of the others are going to Mexico and my comp. is going to Bolivia. He is only here for three weeks also. Some Elders have been here for over their scheduled nine weeks, their visas didn’t come through. My comp is from Price Utah.

We met our District President, Brother Wright. He’s nice; he lived in San Diego so that’s good.

It’s the 8th now; it’s been a good day. I forgot a lot of the things I was going to tell you last night because I had to go to sleep.

I’m still excited to be here but I’m more excited to get out and serve. I love and miss you very much.

Andrew
