Email from Sept. 19, 2010

Hoe gaat het met je? I ben heel blij om uw email te ontvangen. And I am so excited to get to Suriname!!! I am all jumpy and twitchy!! I am so excited to finally get there!! I emailed Ryan today!! And I instantly got a reply! He says he is loving his mission in PA! It sounds like everything is going great with him! It was so good to hear from him! I miss that young man!

Krystal sent me some really cute pictures of my favorite nephew!! And tell Dodge hello for me! And Jeanette as well!!

So here is the low down on my time in AL! I have both loved and despised my time here in the dirty south!! The state is actually very beautiful! It has so many trees! And I want you to google Kudzu. It is a plant that has taken over the state! The people that I have come into contact with have been awesome for the most part, but you get that everywhere!! I definetly came to AL for a reason and I think it was to learn how not to work as a missionary. My trainer Elder D is a good kid. But he has absolutely no work ethic. It has been really hard being paired with him because I want serve with all that I have. I want to be going non-stop and he doesn't share that mentallity. And so much of my short time has been wasted. But I have tried to stay positive and learn all that I can from the situation!!

I am nervous to be speaking 100% percent Dutch here in a couple days. Pray for me! I am going to need it. But other than that I dont have much to report.!! I'll give you a call tomorrow!! And we can talk a little more in depth! Ik wil je te weten dat ik van u houd!!

Love uw zoon,

Mason
