Well I ran into an Elder Poulson I think he is the grandson of Joe and
Barbara Christensen and He is here in the CCM. I also ran into an Elder
Kirkham, he is a friend of Elder Tatton and he is dating McElle Thorton (that is all spelled wrong so please correct it.) Tonight our district is
having a party with sparkling cider since seven of them are leaving
tomorrow. I know not to be prideful, but I seriously not even joking I
have the best district in the CCM! We get along well, which is kind of
uncommon from what I hear, and we are focused on studying and doing what
we have to do. All of the other classes have to be babysat. Elder
Manning arrived Wednesday I didn't have the opportunity to see him
because we got the most freaking huge rainstorm of the Century or the
six weeks we have been here. I did get to see Elder Manning he is doing
well, he hasn't gotten sick yet, and he is doing well. He will be
emailing tomorrow and hopefully we will have a picture of all nine of us
from Olympus that are here. Oh just to assure you Elder Manning has a
fantastic teacher his name is Hermano Martinez, if the name sounds
familiar go back to my previous letters. He actually will be coming to
the states in the next couple of weeks to go to LDSBC, so that is cool. I
think he and Travis would get along well. Um, what else is there, oh ya I
got my scripture case engraved with my name and Nebraska, Omaha, I was told
they would add mission but they didn't and it is okay. We have had two
cucarachas in our classroom the past couple of days and that has been an
adventure to try to catch and kill them, luckily we succeeded. They are
so freaky how they can climb any surface. Again I will send you a
picture of one of them. We are so sad to leave each other. This is like
my second family. What else is there to say? Um we played mafia in the
street, which was a first, and we have played some other crazy games. We
really are going to miss this place, it is a serious bubble even though
the outside world seeps through in the sounds of cars and music, the
spirit is so strong. I just hope and pray the other missionaries get it
because our district is seriously the best. We are focused, but we do
have fun. We sometimes we have a little to much fun during our breaks,
but we focus right in when we need to and our progress in the language
is phenomenal and I hope I can keep going until I am fluent. I love this
gospel and the Book of Mormon is the BoM so ya it is awesome and I can't
wait to go to Nebraska. Travis I am working on applying your advice
daily. Oh I love the Latinos here they are so cool especially when they
talk in their bad English and I speak in my bad Spanish it helps
everyone. That is it for now I will send more tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Elder Logan Joseph Draper
