Hey Mom,
My first day of my mission is going really great and I already love it here. I already went shopping with my companion, Elder Hurd. I bought milk, eggs, bread, pasta roni, macroni and cheese. I bought my groceries at a place called Harmons. I understand how to use the money they gave me. Only about forty dollars for groceries. I also been able to get quarters for my laundry. 
 
My trainer is Elder Siepled ( I think I spelled it wrong.) He is a nice guy and I can tell it's going to be fun to work with. The luncheon we new young missionaries had was interesting and the food was good.
 
I am excited for General Conference and I get to see the Priesthood Session at the Conference Center. When I get to start working on my family history. I was thinking about starting with Gpa K's side since it only goes to the fifth generation. When Nathan has his gig, tell me how it went and if they been able to get paid.
 
Orientation has been a good help understanding what I would be doing. I also registered to vote incase I want to. All the Elders on this mission that I met were nice and kind. I can tell that Heavenly father loves me and he picked the perfect mission for me. I still need to unpack but I wanted to email you first. I can tell I will love working here and the spirit will help me be able to succeed. Also I can't remember Dad's email, so can you tell me his email.
 
I don't really have much to say but with much experiences and time, my emails would probably be long. Give Katie the dog a hug for me and tell her I love her and miss her. Make sure she takes her pills morning and night so her legs don't bother her. I miss you mom and dad and everyone else in the family and I love you all, but I will only be gone for two years and I can tell that it's going to go real fast if I have fun. 
 
Love from your missionary,
Elder K. Jones
 
P.S. The Elders here will call me Elder K. Jones since there is another Elder Jones.
