I have 4 more weeks until I leave the MTC. I'm really excited to go. I'm still learning a lot. I've already heard 3 Apostles. My hope is I'll hear the Prophet speak. It could happen.

I remember you wanted to know if there were sisters in my district. Nope, no sisters. There is 5 of us and we're all guys.

I drew some pictures of them. In case, you're wondering, Elder Barwell isn't a slug and Brother Ikeda isn't in a wheelchair (not in a picture).

Elder Jordan Lesser (Elder Giles' best friend) sent me a funny story in his email. He's in Mexico right now. He and his companion were walking along when a gang came out and stopped them. The gang told Elder Lesser to show his pockets. All he had were a couple of vocobulary papers, a marble, and one dollar. They took his one dollar and left. Elder Lesser and his companion continued. Later he realized that only he was robbed. Why? His companion was Mexican and Elder Lesser was white. At least no one hurt.

Love, Elder Giles

I'm doing great here. I miss all of you (family) but I'm not homesick. I'm
learning a lot here. I don't remember if I've talked about my teacher,
Bro. Peterson. He's a good teacher. He's also deaf. He served in
Riverside, CA and San Diego, CA. He has no idea what San Jose is
like. What he does know is that there is only 2 missionaries serving
there now.. When I get there, I think I'll be put in a 3 person
companionship. It won't be so different than the 3 companionship I'm
in here at the MTC.


Elder Davenport will be serving with Elder Malm. I think. Elder Malm
is New York New York North Mission that's where Elder Davenport is
serving.


The Firesides and Devotionals are really good. I've already heard
2 of the twelve apostles speak. It was Elder Ballard and Elder Nelson.


Love, Elder Giles
