Okay, I know this is past due. I received this letter in the mail April 7th!! I do have to say I will LOVE when he is using email, cause boy does this kid have some chicken scratch writing - It will be soo much easier to copy and paste!!! Anyways, here goes...
Dear Amanda,
Hey Sis! Everything is good so far. When you saw the first few days I realize I've only been here for six days but it really feels like I've been here for a month. Its weird. I love you guys too and tell Buerk I love her too. Sooner or later she'll catch on and understand. I've got a little but of the language but not all of it. I know how to bear my testimony in Tag. which I will towards the end. Whenever there is a vowel is when the word breaks for example Mahal Kits, you say Ma hal Ki ta and I's are E's and E's are I's. But Oo (Yes) that is right. The Book Of Mormon is spelled like Ang Aklat Ni Mormon. Jesus Christ is Jesu Cristo but my name tag just says Jesus Christ. Here in the MTC we live by this rule SYL! Speak Your Own Language! So I'm supposed to be speaking in my letters too but I'm not used to it yet. But my testimony... Ahm ko na totoo ang ebanghelya. Alam ko na bohany si Jesu Cristo, Alam ko na totoo ng Propeta si Joseph Smith. Alam ko na totoo Ang Aklat Ni Mormon. Sa pangala ni Jesu Cristo, Amen. I'll leave it like that so you can google it. But send letters whenever you want and packages. But love you guys. Keep in touch.
Elder Cobbley
P.S. I don't know if you should tell mom. You probably could though she wouldn't care. A Sister in my district got sick and there are 9 of us on pills so we don't get sick. But I am not sick. Knock on wood!!
Sorry if I misspelled any words! Its late and I cant read his writing!!
Oh and Mom did get an email and it said... "Mom, you will be receiving a letter in the mail in a few days. Love ya! Elder Cobbley"
I am not sure on the exact words, but I know what he said fit on one line in her email! He sure is a man of many words!!
I've read these letters a few times and they get better with age! Thanks Amanda, Love, NB
