I ABSOLOITELY LOVE IT HERE! I am doing SO good and the language is coming along so well! I seriously cannot wait to be in reunion island! my companion is awesome! 

I am the first missionary to ever go to reunion out of the provo MTC. I stay with a bunch of guys who are going to paris, and montreal canada and my floor IS AWESOME! me and elder sometion have 2 roomates who are both from france and ONE LIVED IN REUNION island for 10 years and he tells me everyday that im going there for vacation and not a mission hahaha because it is so beautiful! he said the church is amazing there. there is 20 missionaries on reunion and only 4 on mauritus because the republic of mauritus is very strict on visas so i might just be on the small but amazing 25 mile wide island for 2 years! i am going to have some amazing relationships with people! I love you guys and miss you all so much! the language is awesome and I HAVE A STRONG TESTIMONY OF THE GIFT OF TONGUES. I can already keep a coversation with someone. I am getting the language very well and thats all credit to the lord! youre gunna have hard days but you just seem to pull through and go on to the next

 I love you all so much and I am SO happy to be here. The lord has blessed me with so much strength its unreal. I miss you and writing this is making me homesick but its okay! cause I will be brought through it :) J'aime l'evangile de jesus- christ. il est ma saverur et ma redempteur. Moi et mon collegue elder somcion representent jesus christ, et notre pear celeste. I know this eamil was short and im sorry but its been a stressful p day! I got to do family sealings at the temple today and I got 3 brothers all sealed to their family and it was a really cool experience! I can pray in french very fluently and its already a habit. french pronounce jesus  christ like jesu chri. its so cool. I love you all so much and I am so blessed to be a servant of the lord! you are ll in my prayers! 

-with a full heart,
