Letter to Dad- Leon Spain

Hey pops, thanks for the email(s). I hope you know that i really, really appreciate, and need your advice, so keep writing.

I think that i was able to answer most of your questions in the big email, but if you have more, then ask them.

So i have been really fine the whole time that i have been out, but man, those first few days of being out in the field were exceptionally hard. It's not like the walking or anything, but we definitely walk at least 10 or more miles a day here, i was just kind of emotionally hard. Before my mission, i thought that i was pretty good at a good number of things, but since i have been here, the lord has most certainly humbled me, especially with the language. It is so hard, because i understand the grammar, and i completely understand when people talk, but i feel like Moses, i cant speak really anything except for very simple phrases. There is just so much more that i want to say, but that is probably the reason that i can't speak well, because that gospel is simple, and if i could talk more i think that i would just get in the way of that.. Its strange being here, because its not like i miss everyone a ton, i miss you and mom, and jo, and nana. But its not like overwhelming, crying every night or anything, but the longer that i am here, the more i feel not only more love for you, but i feel of the Saviors love for you, and  that is overwhelming.. Oh and also, now that i am here i see how much everything that I have  done, like working long hours, or living somewhere cold, or learning how to study, or how to live with someone else, or doing anything has totally prepared me to be here. Well i love you sooooooo much, and rocky, and i cant wait to read the sage advice you have for me next.
