August 26 Letter

My Family!

Wow it was so good to here that you had a great week! SOOOO Busy! Hahaha good work. Momma, Dad thanks so much for the letters. I'm so glad things went well with K and C (cousins from Texas) and taking him to the MTC. I was thinking of you guys the whole day. It was kind of a low day and thinking of what you guys were doing helped... and didn't. :) But It was a good day! I am so happy that we have another Walters missionary! It makes me so happy. I made sure to ware my yellow tie that day too. :) Send C. letters while he's in the MTC! Even just DearElders! I sure did enjoy it. I'm happy some of the Walters family was able to get together the night before.  I think that just started a tradition! Wahoo!

Kids! I'm so excited for you all to be starting school again! Good stuff. N, you are amazing. You have so many great talents and I admire you for working so hard to develop all of them. :) J! My little buddy. You are such a nice kid. You do a great job at making other people happy. Keep it up! Little A. :) Babe, you are so sweet. You keep learning, you little smarty. Ok? :)

Momma, Dad, I love you guys. :)

It was a pretty good week here! I have to remind my self that it isn't a normal every day thing to eat a freshly caught eel cooked on hot coals at branch President Maki's house with limes and con (pounded breadfruit) with my hands. Then later in the after noon help move branches from a cut down tree and drink a coconut and talk about reading the Book of Mormon.  This is such an amazing experience! Hahaha and goodness I am really starting to love it. :) The fact that I haven't been able to  preach the gospel very well has made it hard as well as missing you, but things are getting better. The language is still coming. Akis me akis (Little by little). What a blessing this is. I am learning so much about so many things from working with my companion. It has been hard sometimes but I am very grateful for it and for him. It is so great that I can learn and study so much about the gospel! There is so much to learn! So much I can read! I know that we have a prophet on the Earth today. I am so grateful for that. What a blessing it is to have his words.

Family, I am happy. I am happy for you. I pray for you. I hope that you all have a great week. Have a great second week and school!

I love you all so much. :)

Love, Elder Aaron Lane Walters
