He say's:
"The spirit is so strong! The first day was way long, but I'm learning to like it. We have an elder in our resident hall that is 7 feet tall!!! Crazy huh? I'm learning how to preach God's word and it is amazing. My third day out, one of the teachers picked me and had me do a forty-five minute lesson with an elder. I didn't know it was intense, but we did great!! My companion is Elder Fisher. He is a bawler (Flexy says this alot, I think this means he's a really great guy), he always has the spirit and teaches well. My scriptures look like a rainbow, they're getting marked up so well. Our sisters are angels. They are definately our superiors. Anyway, better get studying! Love, Elder (Flexy)"
What a great letter! I can tell he's loving it and being busy is awesome. What a blessing to have our son serving.
As I said before, AWESOME! Good job Elder Shelton. We are all proud of you and have you in our prayers along with Private Shelton.
