This was recieved today in response to my (Bekah) e-mail to him. It might not make sense to you, but there is some pretty funny stuff in there that you might understand... I told him about all the earthquakes Reno has had in the past month since he has left. And I asked him if he wanted some good quotes from the new Office episodes he's missing out on. So, the rest of it is pretty self explanatory. I deleted some of it, because you definitly wouldn't understand it. Terry and Mom both got e-mails from him too, which are more addressed to the whole family, so I'll put those up when I get them, but for now, you can all just have this one. I don't even know if anyone's been on here yet...

hey sistah!!!! I would like to say that I am freezing my royal rastafarian neenees off, but i am not. Thats crazy about the earthquakes... its just really hot here. Its only a matter of time until california breaks off, and nevada is beach front property. A box with some cookies of any kind, milky ways, and some reeses would be downright sexy. Dont worry about the cereal though, the milk here blows, its all warm and powdery. Send me some good office quotes. A lot of the americans here watch it, meaning three out of the five of us. Doyou work a lot with Brendon? Tell him hi. Hope all is well, its okay here. I almost punched one of the blacks here. He is lucky i didnt becuase he is smaller than ryan... speaking of ryan... Well, tell everybody hi. Love elder gax

And if you are offended by him saying he almost punched a black guy, I wouldn't be reading any of these because you will get more offended in the future, I'm sure :-) He just says stuff how it is.

Here's the next e-mail. I guess he's allowed to e-mail once a week, but he might be getting a new address soon because he's still using his account from UNR. We will let you know if you are allowed to e-mail him while he's in the MTC, but for now, we aren't sure what's going on. Things are pretty crazy for him right now.

Hey momma, and fam.

I finally got my luggage after about three days of wearing the same pants and all, but its all good. I gave some stuff to the elders here becuase i have too much, and they have too little. Its not too bad in the MTC i guess. We went to the temple yesterday which was awesome, but my companion is really weird, and wont listen to anything i say... But i dont mind, i only have two more weeks. I will not be needing the pajama bottoms, its way too hot here for that, its over 85 degrees at 11:00 p.m. The flight over was okay, i finished the book of mormon and slept a lot. I almost missed my flight to ghana though becuase of a mix up with my luggage and a late flight. There are only 25 of us in the mtc right now, so we are all pretty close, and a lot of the elders are really cool. I do need a watch though, and some good ol' american food. The food here is alright, but i havent had a bowl of cereal since i got here, and I dont think i will have any for the next two years. Powder milk sucks, you were right mom. I played my first game of soccer the other day, and i guess i am not too bad, i could for sure beat ryan, he isnt that good. Well, got to go. Love you all tons. Elder Gaxiola

So, that's it for now. We will put up his address too if you want to write him letters or send him candy bars and cereal. We already have.

Hey y'all. We will be posting Danny's e-mails and other fun junk on here when we get them. If you want us to forward the e-mails directly to you, just send your e-mail address to gilligax@hotmail.com, and we'll add it on the list. Here's Danny's first e-mail home. He left on Thursday and we got this on Monday, so we had the whole weekend to worry about whether or not he made it.

Hey Family,

I made it to the MTC just fine, but my luggage is still in Heathrow. I had to make the journey all by myself, but it wasn't too bad, and i didnt even get sick. I need you to email me a copy of my immunizations becuase my card doesnt say anything about hepatitis, so if you could please do that, but send it tolauratharmon@gmail.com, it would be much appreciated. It is super hot, and super humid here, my hair is all curly, but its all good. Well, i should be able to write to you next week. Love, Elder Gaxiola
