Recieved 02/10/10

Hey! Sorry my last letter was so short. we were to simply let you know we all made it here safely.
It`s been great in here so far and I`m sure it will continue to be that way. It takes a little getting used to but it`s great here. The food is good. They have the biggest box of Grape Nuts that no one eats :) I usually eat a cup of those with a banana for breakfast. For lunch and dinner I usually have a salad or a wrap, it`s like Subway you walk down the line and tell them what you want in it. They offer a lot more than that though.
The spirit is really very strong here. I`m learning a ton. Yexus khetos hlub nej, thiab nws hlub kuv. Jesus Christ loves you all and he loves me. I can say a bit more so it`s coming. We have a divine purpose, as long as we`re patient, obedient, faithful and sincerely believe God can make a powerful instrument out of us then we can be a powerful tool in his hands in this war of good and evil. I love you all.

Love, Elder Paramore

p.s. My preparation day is Tuesdays.

With love, Elder Paramore
