Trevor's first letter 6-1-11

Hola!,
How's everyone doing? Well things are going good here the first few days were a little rough, but its all good now. My companions name is Elder Montgomery he's from Colorado he's a good guy and were getting along great and he's going to Salta as well. My other roomates are great as well there names are Elder Carlson and Elder Boren. I have an awesome district we all get along real good and were already all way tight with each other. There's 12 of us in my district and 5 are going to Salta with me and the other 7 are going to Fresno, California. There's a couple other Elders living on my floor who are going to Salta but i dont really know how many but they only have like 2 weeks left. I've ran into pretty much everyone i know here i've seen Elder Schone a lot cause my gym time is right after his and i've ran into Elder Braithwaite a couple times and Elder Clayton once. Anyways i've been way busy this first week and learned a ton. We had an awesome Fireside on sunday and got to watch a film where Elder Holland is talking to missionaries which was awesome and helped us all out a ton. We also had our First devotion which was good one of my favorite quotes was "To lift someone up you must be standing on higher ground" and so right now i'm trying to get myselft on as high of ground as i can before i go out into the mission field. As far as the language goes its hard, but i feel like i'm learning so much even in this first week. My teachers' names are Brother Johnson and Kuhn. There way good teachers Brother Johnson went to Argentina on his mission so he gives us an inside on all the stuff he did down there and even has us practice the accent they have down there which cool. We've only seen Brother Kuhn once cause he's been out of town but we had a sub named Brother steele, and its funny cause he looks exactly like Clark Kent(superman) and we always joked with himm about that. Anyways thanks for all the letters and support i appreciate it a lot.
Love,
Elder Thompson
