Excited to get out . . . (e-mail)

Oi! como vai?

OK, well I don't have much time, so I have to make this one even shorter than usual. I've been having tons of problems with the email address, so sorry but I'll write you a letter later today.
Thats way awesome about you riding the bull and stuff and I would still like the picture you took drinking (ha!) but whatever. Crazy Mom! Sorry (again) about the door ya'll had to fix [at Grandma Larsen's house in St. George].

I wish I could see Cambria's birthday party! That's way cool! You need to be sure and send me some sweet pictures.

I'm way jealous that you all got to go and see the Bar J Wranglers, but that doesn't compare, I don't think, to meeting Pres. Uchtdorf or Pres. Hinckley's son!

Things are going good here, and the language is... coming. It's kinda frustrating with not being able to use English and being able to say exactly what I want to say, but its good. I'm so excited to get out of the MTC though, because its all the same every day. Nothing changes. I look so forward to going to the temple every week. I'm really gonna miss going there once a week when I get to Portugal. I'm so excited to get back and go to the Manti Temple again. I suggest that you and Dad go as often as you can. Be grateful that you have that opportunity. You can sure make a lot of people who have already passed away really happy and I love it.

I'm excited to finally meet the people in Portugal that have been waitning for their whole lives to talk to me. Keep on smiling back at home, and especially let Tara know she's missed. Also, I haven't heard much from Kyle, so tell him I said "hey". Tell Heath I'm writing her back, too. I wish I had more time to write on this, but I'll give you guys a good letter. Hopefully you get it tomorrow, but if not, you should get it on Monday.

Oh, and ya the rainstorm in Madeira Island sounded crazy. I'm probably gonna be asked to help out with that when I get there, and that would be so exciting for me, because I wanna go there anyway! They told me that the people there speak their Portuguese with an Australian accent so think of how cool thats gonna be! Ugh, I'm so excited!

I finished the Book of Mormon on the 22nd! Wow I wish so much I would have read it more during my seminary days. The BoM has answers to every question anyone could ever have! It's amazing!

I gotta go now, so I'll start your letter soon. Let everyone know I love them and am thinking about them mucho a lotto. But for now, see ya.

Love your son,

Elder Anderson
