Day 1

He made it to Guatemala.  Here's the first email we have received.

I have to make this very brief, but I have to tell you that i made it safely to guatemala. The flights were extermely long and i am exhasted, but luckily the MTC president is allowing us five minuets to write home. This is really all the time that i have to sayeverything  but everyting is awesome down here!!!

*He titled the email "I'm alive!!"  I told him that he better write every week even if to only let me know that he is alive.  Hopefully he'll write more than that, but I need to know every week that he's alive.  Kinda silly, but a mother needs to know these things!
