Warm again!

1-7-2011
Mommy,

I know that the whole family read this email but since everyone else writes me letters I will address this one to you. Thank you for sending me the pictures. =) I did get the blanket and I am warm now. but i want it on the record that i am not the only one cold in my room. all of us are!

Thank you for ordering me another contact. And finding my mission call.

I still can't believe how much i love it here. When i first got my call i thought the MTC would be the worst part. But I love it and i love my district! they are all amazing and my district leader, Elder Killpack thanks you for being such a good influence on me so that i could come here and be a great influence on him! He is amazing i love him i actually love everyone in my district! there is one Elder in my district that i have a hard time with because he is really annoying! and coming from me that is really saying something! I think i might of mentioned him in my letters i dont really remember! Its hard for me to keep things straight because all of my days are running together and I dont remember what i have told you. so if i tell you something more then once i am sorry about that.
Today i am going to write a nasty letter to Ashlin and Holly because they have not written me. I have gotten several letters from Heidi and a letter from Chelcey. so they are the only ones that have not written me.

I am not discouraged because they have not written me but i have almost been here a month and i would really love to here from them. I wrote them on christmas so they have had plenty of time to write me. =(

I am starting to get the language now. it will get eaiser because we have are real teacher to teach us now. before he was on vacation for christmas break. we only got to have him teach us twice and then he went on vacation but he got back on monday. I dont know if i ever mentioned his name its Brother Halverson, our other teacher is Bro Morey. They are both awesome! We have gotten to the point in the MTC that they only speak portuguese to us and we have to try and only speak portuguese. but that is a good thing because i will learn faster. The sub teacher that we had for Bro. Halverson was Bro Allred. He is awesome too and i am going to miss him but Bro Halverson is awesome too so its ok.

I am so glad to here that everything is going well at home! And I dont worry about you because one i dont have time and two i KNOW that the lord will bless you all in ways that i dont understand or know and that you will come to realize that they are blessings. I love all of you and i am praying for you!

Love, Elder Vaughn
