Good morning, I didn't plan on being up this early today, but here I am... The other companionship woke up again this early and woke me up with them. My comp is to happy being up this early I think, but that's the way it is sometimes when you are outvoted 3 to 1. Anyway, I love my district, they all love me and we get along as a group super well. And I still haven't received your valentines package :( anyways, I have most of the stuff I need i think. Sad side note, i let one of the other missionaries borrow my Gerber  Turns out he doesn't actually know what one of them is used for..... He broke a part of it, so I am sending it home for warranty or replacement. He came out and said that if we cant get a new one, he would pay for it because he broke it. anyways, I would love it if you can procure some pictures of Tacloban from Sister Wood and send them. I would also love it if you could print these pictures that I am sending, and send them back, I have no idea where to get a printer... they are of the companionships in my district and I want to get them into my book before I forget everyone's name. :)

I love you guys a lot. I miss you. I hope all is well at the home front, as all is well here. besides the hazardous food and the massive body of missionaries that gets riled up on occasion. I got Shelby's dear elder, and Emily's and Emily's letter. I also got a ninjago from Sean  which was awesome. My needs are few for this week to be honest. I would like to say that the language is going well still, getting to more complex bits though. I can pray, bear testimony, and carry on a conversation, broken, but still consistent. I have gotten notes back from Gma and Gpa, and I want to say thanks for sending them. Though I don't hear from Dad much, so whack him around a bit :) 

I am most grateful this week for people who listen. They help even when they don't know what they are doing.

Love Elder Marlin The 3rd 

PS I Forgot to say, tell Dad I love him! and my wonderful sisters, and I forgot to tell you how much I love you. I am here, trying to make you all proud, and I miss you every day. Tell dad that he is an ogre and I miss our debating and jokes. email and dear elder me some! and tell Bino that she will be just fine with chemistry, even though I am not there to make wonderful analogies. Tell bug that the aquarium had better refund her money, cuz that is not cool! And I want to tell you that I will be back in two years with a smile on my face and I am going to say that I love you.

again.....Elder Marlin
