A Note from Elder Thorderson!

Well, Elder Thorderson arrived in Buenos Aires a few hours ago. He was able to send out an email to us to let us know he arrived safely. Here is the email he sent:

Boy, these keyboards are funky...

I'm here, and we have computers, so I can email every p-day.

Dad, go ahead and forward my steven@thorderson.com email here. I think I'll be able to reply to all of them. :D

I'll be out of here in three weeks, they think I know spanish well enough to have a latino companion and go out with all the other latinos. Everyone else has 9 weeks though. I should have kept my mouth shut. ;-)

Love you all.


***Mom's note: We knew his Spanish was good enough that he wouldn't stay the entire time in the MTC! Thanks to all the Spanish teachers at West High! Y'all did a great job! Remember, you can email Elder Thorderson at steven@thorderson.com or you can send him letters. His address is in the previous post.

Steven's Address at the MTC in Buenos Aires

For those of you who want to send Steven a letter while in the MTC, his address is as follows:

Elder Steven Thorderson
Argentina MTC
Bonpland 2349/55
(C1425 FEW) Buenos Aires
Argentina

You may send regular mail to this address--no pouch service until he is in Uruguay. Please do not send packages to him in the MTC.

I'll get some photos up soon. Randy and Steven were party poopers--I wanted some photos of the family room covered in clothes and suitcases but they were uncooperative! However, I'm feeling great about the packing job! We have everything packed and there is still room in his bags! Maybe I'll throw in some spices and some brownie mixes! SHhh, don't tell!
