Email #5 Hes really going to Argentina! 1 month on his mission

Hey Mom, I love you! Things here are GREAT! I love it and Im excited to leave. The reason why you didnt get any mail is because our branch presidency said we could only write home on pday which is Tuesday and I have been exactly obedient to that, I am proud to say, but I have been wanting to write you like crazy. I will definitely some mail home today! So I got my travel plans...I will be leaving at 7:30 a.m. on Monday morning! I will fly from Salt Lake at like 12:30, and get in Dallas, Texas around 4:00 I think. I will be in Dallas from 4:00 to AROUND 7:30...I CAN CALL THEN. I will leave Dallas at like 7:30 and fly in a Boeing 777 to Argentina and arrive there in Argentina at 7:55 in the morning. I am nervous to fly and for such a long time! But I am so excited to do it. I bought a little Book of Mormon to read on the flight. I can get a phone card with 500 minutes for $5 at the book store here. I can take all 3 suit cases, my carry and my 2 check luggage bags, but they AMERICAN AIRLINES are charging $75 for the second check bag not the 3rd check bag but the second, so I will need to use my card or something to pay a $75 dollar fee. It is actually cheaper by like $15 than all the other airlines like Delta and them. I am so excited. I will be getting my shot on Thursday. Hopefully I have about $100 dollars cash I could use for that shot. I dont plan on having much cash at all by the time we leave, but I will probably be spending a little money at the MTC and maybe Dallas to get a pen or something from that airport just so you know if that is ok with you. It really is a blessing, a miracle of exact obedience that this computer is working. As we understand it here, the system is corrupted that provides service for the MTC. So in the main and here at West are down and there are only like 0 to 3 working computers here at a time. This is my first session of email today. We got up at 5:30-5:45 and got things done, laundry and everything. Its siesta time right now. We are going to Brighams Landing and get a burger and fries! I am so happy for what you and Wrights sent me! I told everyone I have the best friends. I gotta go. I dont need anything like my fitted sheet or anything. I think I will be fine. I dont want to weigh down my suit case, but thank you. THINGS ARE GREAT HERE AND I LOVE AND PRAY FOR YOU GUYS! I HAVE TO GO, I HOPE I CAN CATCH YOU ON TONIGHT AROUND 5:30 to 6:00! HERES SOME PICS. LOVE YOU, GOTTA GO. I can email you on Saturday too fyi...
