AMAZED I'M IN AFRICA

 Things are going great here! We are all very excited to get out and ready to be in the field. I couldn't imagine staying any longer. Its Saturday morning right now and my district gets to go out with the Johannesburg missionaries so that should be fun. I go to my first transfers meeting on Tuesday and then I'll get my trainer. I can't believe how much I've learned in these three short weeks, but I am very grateful for the time I've had here. Cameron's advice helps me almost everyday.  Tell everyone I love and miss them and tell Jordyn not to miss me to much, I'll be back in 23 months ha ha I love you mom and hope things are going great for you guys. I love this gospel and am still amazed that I'm in Africa. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIFE IS GREAT IN THE MTC

-- Things are going good here in the MTC. For the next three weeks including today we will be writing our emails on Saturday here, so you should get them Friday night. The first week has been great!!! I love my comp. Elder Muhlauyo. He is a very hard worker and is very in tune with the spirit. President Christensen is our MTC President and he is an amazing man. My English accent is coming along great by the way :) My Comp and I were also call to be the assistance to the President so we're the AP's. I have never been in a calling where I've served others so much. It has been a great blessing to me and my comp. I hope things are going good at home and everyone is doing great! Love all of you and I miss you. Its been nice to sit in class and feel the spirit. I thought it would be harder to sit that long but its not and the jet lag has almost gone away so that's good. I love being a missionary and serving with these amazing young men and the sister missionaries. yesterday we taught everyone how to play American football and that was hilarious. I know this work is true and I have never had the spirit testify of that to me as strong as it has here.

Love,

Elder Caleb Coon
