my familia , that half of them arent home right now to read this.

ok this section is for jordy so when he gets home make sure he reads this. jord tell aly and madeline that i got their letter they sent to me in february and tell darren that i got his letter too. and mom all those pics that i sent to you from provo ... print some off and have jordy give them to my friends ( brady , taylor, send one to dallin, aly , madeline ) ok? and can you send me some of the pics that dallin sent to me from when he was in the provo mtc. alright but to start off the email really good, i just wanted all of you to know that i accomplished one of my goals in my life!! I DUNKED IT!!!!!! i dunked a volleyball first , then the next day during gym i tried a real ball and .... i totally did it!! and yes the hoop is real size. so ryan you better hope that your p 90x thing is helping your vert cuz you dont want your little bro to show you up... do you ? ok and last week in my email i was thinking about it and it kinda sounded like i chewed out dad and ryan for not teaching me spanish.. so i just wanted to clarrify that i was just joking so dont take what i said seriously. i heard something awsome about my mission president though, pres. almonte doesnt speak hardly any english ...... isnt that so cool.........  ☺? and iam so ready to go out into the field! i am so sick of being in this box here! i dont even care how much spanish i know , i am ready to go out there and start doing stuff. and my spanish is doing really well, i can pretty much understand almost everything they say and can basically respond. im sure its sounds really green-go but its still spanish. i heard that its 50 degrees up there ... wow ! thats cool. today is about 75 with a little overcast and a breeze so.... yea its pretty much perfect ! haha. i still havnt gotten my package yet but it could be at the mission home and they are just waiting for me to get there so i can pick it up. yesterday i talked to some elders from my mission. they said 1.) they havnt had like any water for the past two weeks cuz their filter broke, so no shower or anything for a few days and 2.) be ready for a culture shock. so i am ready ! ryan a couple weeks ago you said you went skiing. i am proud of you haha. there is probably no more snow up there so you cant go anymore , but i am so happy that you tried going. TRIED going haha. mom to answer some of your questions, no i havent heard from dallin yet but mail here is terrible so he could have sent me something and i just havnt gotten it yet. and nope , there is no day light savings here so that is pretty nice. and there are definatly different holidays here. on st patricks day we all wore green and the teachers thought we were all wierd. it was pretty funny. tanner i miss you and i totally know how you feel man. im sick of being inside all day too, but just hang in there for a couple more week and then you can play outside all the time. i do get all your dearelders , sometimes they are a couple of weeks old but they get here.haha i think that when i get out into the field i get an hour to email so then everyone can just email me and it will be alot better. im thinking of a way that i can send you pics. i think i will have to buy an SD card reader that goes into the computer and then i can just emaill them to you all. and be more than happy to send me pics through email. especially of peru. and familia stuff. that is so crazy that like half of our family is outside the country. i definatly think that i chose the best place to go though ☺. i cant wait to hear how everyones life is going next week and peru and their experiences! oh and round two of wierd stuff they do here. so some girls dont shave their legs or armpits. and the guys do shave their armpits. and the guys wear fingernail polish. only the clear coat , no colors. but i dont know about you but i think that its kinda crazy! definatly a different culture. but i dont know if you guys will get an email from me next week cuz im going out to the field and i dont know when their p day is so you will just have to wait and see. love you all keeping all of you sick folk in my prayers , 19 a day ! love elder finn


part 2


 and im pretty sure all of your prayer, fasting has helped a ton!! i can understand them and kinda speak it and i can read out of the book of mormon and know everything that is going on. and i can read like the entire liahona ( which is entirely in spanish) so thanks so much for all that you guys have done for me .. it has helped so so so much!!!!!
