Dearest Family,

It was sure fun being able to talk to you this last Sunday. I, as you mentioned as well, loved being able to see you and talk to you through Skype. What a blessing modern day technology.

I will start off mentioning a few of the administrative details, just so that I don´t forget to do so later on.

First, I think that it would be best to stay at home while I study at BYU. I agree with Dad, that when I want to focus on studying I will be at the Library. Now the question is where is that?.... No just kidding. I obviously would love to room with Elder Ketchum but I think that it would be good if I could be at home and be able to help out a little bit, even if it is by only getting up in the morning to have family scripture study. I don´t know how that would work with my ¨social life¨ but I assume that something will turn up. I also have a huge desire to serve in the ward where I am in.

 I don´t have a huge desire to go to single adults ward, but I guess that will have to do.  So these are some of the thoughts. I think, that overall, it would be good that I stay at home. But I give you at home the power of attorney, because I trust in your experience to make a good decision for me. Please do whatever you think is best for me. I am not too sure. I want to be at home and focused, but it would also be so nice to live with Élder Ketchum. He is a great person and is very focused so that would be neat.

Thank you for your regards as to Saturday. We are excited as they both have passed their interviews and are very content. Please keep praying for Elisa Pillajo and Lizett Perino.

Élder Cerro says ¨hi¨ to everyone, and especially to mom and dad. He said that it was nice to meet you.(We talked to him on Skype on Sunday.)

I hope that you all have a wonderful week. Yesterday we had a tri zone zone conference with three zones, about 50-60 missionaries or so. So that went well.

Elder Cerro and I are getting ready for the next transfer. We want to baptize a lot, so we will do all that we can to accomplish so.

I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful, wonderful week. Les deseo lo mejor y les quiero y les amo un montón.

Sigan leyendo todos los días en las escrituras y orando todos los días. Sigan haciendo la noche de hogar los domingos por la noche o los lunes cuando papá no esté, o cuando sea. Tenemos que hacer estas cosas para que el Señor nos pueda bendecir, unir, y proteger contra el mal de afuera. Gracias por todo lo que están haciendo y les digo otra vez….les amo.

Con amor y mucho cariño,

Élder Driggs

P.S. Intentaré a averiguar más en cuanto a reservar el hostal en el templo. No sé cuando podrá ser. A lo mejor la próxima semana. Lo siento por la demora. Gracias y les amo.
