Excerpt from letter to Ethan

...As for my companion, I've had a few already because I got transferred to a more challenging Spanish class. They've all been good so far. My current companion, Elder Arnold, is a great guy who's willing to work very hard to improve. He agrees to all my crazy goals, like teaching the first lesson 5 times a week or making 6 contacts per day. ¡Éxito!

The MTC is wonderful! The spirit here is unlike anything I've felt. I feel more focused and productive than I ever have before, and I'm actively working to become the missionary the LORD wants me to be.
