Camp is Great!

dear mom and dad,

camp is great. they just moved us again. came back to the big island of pr last week for a meeting. at the meeting they decided or we decided to change pday to monday. that is why today is monday. and i am making an email. i love you all. just here. in luquillo puerto rico. actually we live in fajardo. that is where i am making the email at. i should and can say organizing the email because essentially that is all we are doing when we are making something. not making it just organizing material. intersting stuff in the (D&C) well. it is great here. president Alvarado IS a great man. love him. love you both too. i am in luquillo. a branch of 25 people, with a family from the US visiting so normally 20 people. there are bigger wards just havent been in a ward for some time now. just got to get this show rolling. they havent had misssionaries in luquillo in 2 1/2 years. so the feild is white. got to get the members to help us do this thing. i love them already they are ready to work and that is good. so i am luckily and on the island rotation. which means one month in puerto rico one month in st thomas. this is because president wants us to be a shadow leader. help the branch, not do it for the branch. we go to the area, find investigators, teach them, and then give them to the senior couples to teach with the branch members. the church is struggling here. just looking for a couple strong future preisthood holders. we need to get grandpas and grandmas down here to be missionaries. its super fun. senior missionaires can snorkle and doo everything. (president alvarado wanted me to try and recruit them for puerto rico) haha but i do love you all. my compaion is elder arancibia from chile. he is sweet. funny kid.  Jesus the Christ is a great book. i dont understand half the word in it but it is a great book to study. also the book of mormon. mormon chapter 9. miracles. wow great stuff. would be a miracle if i got married so i hope they still happen. i love you all. thanks for the talk from president packer. and tell andrwew thanks for the in and out stickers. i will send the memory card home soonish. let me know about jons mission call. have him wait til mothers day so i can watch him open it via skype. i love you all.

i hope you are all having a great march 12th and happy birthday mom. i will get you a better present next year. i am waNTING TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY THO. YOU CAN WEAR THE honorary dreadlock rasta hat. 

i love you

love elder scroggins
