Yoooo panama here I come baby!! so nuts its finally here. MTC flew by sooo fast. But was so long at the same time kinda crazy. man ur letters are always fire, I love em. . course I know lonzo ball i have said whatup to him before. i know all about him and have for a while. Had a killer season. dads always been cocky with his two sons. Hes forsure getting ahead of himself. noone is better than curry right now. Hes definitely a player. all my basketball friends played with him, too crazy. Hende knows him alrite like they went to camps and stuff together pretty crazy. Hahaha laughing out loud about ur first day of panama. Mine will definitaly go something like that. talked to some senior elders for like an hour yesturday about there son who went there like a year ago. He was one of the few who went to the san blas islands and they have not changed one bit since u went there. they told me all about it. U can only bring 15 pounds of stuff to the islands including food. U wear sandals and roll up ur pants and wear an unbuttonded white shirt. U go fishing and crab diving everyday and u are always in the water. U only get fresh water once a week and there is no running water. They sleep in a hammock in a house with no walls and the storms blow u in the wind. The people are the exact same and the boats are too. No motors. Cathcing ur food everyday and literally living like an indian. sooo nuts they told me all about it. There son lost 50 freekin pounds on those islands. Sounded exactly the same as what u are discribing... so basically im praying 24/7 i go there. Literally my dream whenevr its rough here i just think about living on the islands. then they talked about panama and told me all about the heat, rain, people, bugs and animals and so much more. Never been more pumped to get there in my life. What a blessing that god called me there. What an honor. so blessed its unreal. That is all I have been thinking about lately. Why am I so blessed? cant believe some mormons dont go on missions. The least we can do is serve a mission, go to church, and pay ten percent. Cant believe we are apart of the true church. What a blessing. Man my testimony has already grown 20x what it was in 6 weeks. Cant imagine in 2 years. so grateful for the gospel and jesus christ. Man I would be in a world of hurt without him. cant believe how much happier i am right now than i would be partying in college. Literally no comparison. The happines I feel now is 10 times as much as it was when i was up to no good in highschool. god really does know whats best for us. well thats my rant for the day hahaha. Love u so much dad cant wait to tell u what panama is like. im guna be in a world of hurt in a week hahaha cant believe it. peace out pops i pray for u and the fam always, ---Elder call. 

Some pics hahah sorry not the best but its all i got. second to last one is my mississippi boy. He literally put more ranch on his salad than lettuce sooo funny. other ones are just some of my best friends in the mtc. they are all fresh,. Guy with the bolivia shirt on is elder palmer. One of my all time faves. Hes sooo socially awkward, definitaly off. Literally so funny tho and a testimony and heart of gold. Last one is me n my comp stuntin like its a habit as always.

They got out of order this was his first email....

Hey Momma :) miss and love you so much! Thanks for the email hahaha I can read emails everyday but I cant write back until today, got worried I wouldnt get any love from my mom! haha what in the world was I thinking. Yeah this week was such a grind I hate/love this place so much. Literally its the wierdest feeling, I didnt think it would be possible to be in prison but at the same time at a temple. Food sucks though like i promise you there is no way nick and dad would like it Unless it has gone wayyy down hill. Literally feel like to poop every 5 minutes and i have never felt more constantly sick in my life. wow sounds like quite a week for you guys! lol not. Heard about aunt anne that sucks im praying for her. Also my armpit thing is chill and my teeth. But im sick as a dog right now, have had a sore throat for a solid 3 days. Hopefully that will get better. Super hard here though yall have no idea! such high stress its crazy i feel like pulling my hair out, which is unusual for me haha. spirit is unreal though Its the craziest thing. Definitaly got the cry genes, I have never cried and laughed more in my life until i got into the mtc. I kid you not though sooo much crying, not from sadness but from joy. I know im supposed to be here and im so blessed. My personality is perfect for a missionary i swear. Literally I think I was put on this earth to do missionary work. Not in a cocky way because at the same time i Suck, well you know what i mean. Im a big lover which is really important, like it takes alot for me to not love someone. Idk why that just how i am, also im a leader which helps/hinders me. suck at learning too haha my memorizing sucks. My companion is the freekin best though im so blessed by god I got him, soo grateful i didnt get a square. Hes so freekin funny so that makes it way better. Had here though spanish is a grind. So many stories though already so many memories, I already dont remember a life outside of here. Im not kidding, time goes by soooo slow in the mtc. Amazing place though honestly. We are so blessed with the family we have. I love you all so much and i probably pray 30x a day for you all. Tell the kids i miss them. Will try and get some stories together next week. Love you so much momma miss you tons, Your favorite son- Elder Call.   

Finally it's Saturday...(week 4)

Hey momma! wow thanks for the email hahaha typical friday in the Mo. funny its been raining alot thats good though. Here this week its literally been like 70 and sunny the whole weak. today it just started snowing. Thanks for those emails during the week too those are awesome hahaha my week gets real repetitive. Dad never emailed me and i only have a lil to write today cus im planning a huge priesthood lesson and a talk tommorow. Soooo much work all the time its rough. Super crazy week though only two and a half more to go. I love the mtc and im sure i will miss it but I wanna get to panama soo bad. im not a huge fan of never leaving a quarter mile radius for 6 weeks hahaha thats not my thing. so this week we got new elders in our zone and that was fun. They are all awesome Im actually a huge fan. My favorite is Elder Smith, we are already soo tight haha he is literally the funniest human being to ever walk this earth. Hes from Mississippi so he has that funny southern accent, hes like 5'8 300. Literally within the first 10 I knew he would the man. So thats awesome, the other elders are great too but know one is like smith. Everything that comes out of his mouth i die at. so this week me n my comp taught an investigator from guatemala in front of the class. We planned sooo hard for the lesson and it was awesome spirit was so strong. My comp Know way more spanish than me but i still did good. we played I am Child of God during the lesson and he balled his eyes out it was awesome. We Then had an urge to talk about baptism so we did and he said he wanted to get baptised. Honestly we were doing work so cool Idk if hes real or not but either way it was dope. Weeks are going by faster which is good Guna be out of here before I know it. Guna miss my comp tho hes the man. Love you all so much i gotta go. Ur all the best I pray for yall always you have no idea. Praying for auntie hope she gets better. Love u all! tell dad congrats on the patriots win I Cant believe the comeback 
they had. 

Hey momma! wow the emails during the week literally get me through the week. Haha its rough here, in a good way but never experienced anything like it. Wow that was a good email you sent thank you for that I love the updates. Well right now I feel like crap to be honest hahaha, soooo groggy. I was messing around last night with all the elders in my zone, I love them soooo much. But they were trying to get into my room because me and my companion were squirting them with squirtguns. They finally pushed open the door when it was cracked and the door jammed my big toe sooo bad. THe whole nail turned purple within 10 seconds and It hurt soo bad. Noting I could do except take advil. I was asking everyone for a lighter but apparently thats frowned upon so I couldnt find one. I wanted it to pop the nail with a needle and a lighter to relieve pressure. Well never found one And i have never slept worse in my life. freakin hurts soo bad slept proably less than an hour sleeping last night, literally couldnt sleep cus of it. So i feel terrible right now but whatever. Good news is it gave me alot of time to pray and write in my journal haha which is always good. Well this week was good, spanish is coming sorta coming along I talked to my President and pulled some strings to get 1 on 1 help with just me and a specialist. lol im going to learn way faster which is great. The investigator aspect is rough Though cus these real investigators are sooo hard. They only speak spanish and its so hard to get your point across. They get payed to be there but still I want to help mine out sooo bad its so sad. Shes from uraguay and came here to learn english and go to school. She feels lonely and has tons of problems with the church. I try teaching her about the church but its sooo hard to get our points across in spanish. I was sooo angry. Me n my companion were pissed, we have chances to help this girl gain eternal salvation with her family and we freekin cant. It sucks cus I love this girl so much, shes so sweet and sarcastic and funny. If anything it just gives me more motivation to learn spanish though. Well other news im soo sick of the food haha. Bordom kicked in and I develeloped such a sweet tooth. Straight up feel like crap haha. Super fun with my zone and compainion thought like im talking a riot. We are all great especially my companion, literally we are sooo tight i feel like I have known him my whole life. Its about the little things for entertainment though, like im so pumped, we enherited tons of stuff cus my whole zone is practically leaving which sucks. got a mini fride xmas lights and sooo much more haha i was pumped. excited this week to be getting like ten new elders in our zone thatll be fun. poor guys have no idea what they are in for here haha. . Super cool stuff wish I could tell you more but i gotta go. Love you so much praying everyday for the fam. Love you all!
