Jon's first letter home came today. He seems to be doing well.
He says that he has seen about a half dozen guys that he knew from high school. He really likes his teachers and branch president.
There are 8 other missionaries in his district: 4 of them are going to the West Indies with him and 4 are headed to Fort Worth, Texas. Jon said that he is in a "triple companionship". He has two companions, Elders Barker and Findlay, both from SLC and he has been made the senior companion.
Quotes from his letter:
"Life is pretty good here. They feed us well but they don't give us enough time... so in order to get full, you have to really chow down."
"I'm learning patience right now. Elder Barker is a really nice guy but he is starting to fry my nerves."
"We just finished up our health and gym orientation. Tell Cam and the other missionaries that are leaving soon that gym time sucks. We don't get to do anything that is fun."
"Anyway, day 2 is almost over. It has been the longest day ever!"
This blog chronicles Jonathan Larson's LDS Mission to the West Indies. Shane and I decided that updating this site would be a good way for us to keep family and friends current on Jonathan's mission. We hope you enjoy!
