Dear Elder Sean,
A quick note to you in case your p-day comes up quickly. It was so fun getting to talk with you again yesterday at the airport. I can't believe how much I miss just being able to hit your number on my cell phone and call you any time. You sounded great and very ready to start the next phase of your mission.

Mitch just called here wanting your address. He didn't know you were already down in Argentina. For other people, the time always goes by really fast. Madison's mom called me yesterday and we're going to start a newsletter for you guys. I'll cut and paste a few things from some of your letters home, then send them to Sis. Flake. She'll then compile all the letters together and send it back to me. I'll print it out and send you a hard copy, so at least once a month you can hear from most your friends around the world and what they're up to. Mitch's mom just emailed me also and wants to have all the moms over for a lunch in a couple weeks. Thanks to you, I have lots of new friends. :)

A little business--So I guess don't worry that your email will be mailed out to the world unless you want to write more personally to us in a handwritten letter(I always will love getting a handwritten letter from you). If you don't, then just let your emails be for us and I'll cut and paste and forward. If you could let me know who wants to hear from you each week besides our family, cousins, grandparents, that would help me. If you need any addresses, let me know too. I have quite a list that I've been forwarding to while you were in the MTC, but these might be people you will be handwriting, I don't know. So let me know.

How was the plane flight? I hope you were able to sleep a little. I know that's super hard for me to do, but maybe you were able to. Anyway, I hope your first day was light and enjoyable and full of little catnaps. I think you guys are 3 hours ahead of us, and Kirk is 2 hours ahead of us. Kind of helps me when I'm thinking about you during the day.

I've got to run and get my haircut. I'll write again later, but wanted to get something to you just in case. I'll send a picture too. Let me know if you can open it.

Enjoy your first few weeks and speak Spanish as much as you can whenever you get a chance.
I love you....
mom
