CCM is da bomb!

It's Sam's second week in the MTC and he has really surprised us with his eloquence.  Not only did he write to me, but also to my mom and dad!  We're not sure how much longer he can keep up the individual emails, but for now, here's a sampling from all...Ya'll might want to write him now while he's feeling so generous with his words!


CCM is da bomb! This past week has been awesome.  We went to the temple in Spanish.  I was made district leader.  My district is great, my companions are great, the latinos are calidad.  I had minor diarrhea,  but nothing I cant handle, some of the others are having problems though.


My companions and I make a great team, even though being in a threesome is kind of difficult. There are seven of us in our district, the others have 12 and 14, but we are clearly the better district.  days are all scheduled.  breakfast, personal study, language study, lunch, missionary study, dinner, teaching, bed, everyday all week.  MTC is small, about 200 people, but relatively clean. we had the MTC guru visit for the week, he watched us teach, he is a cool guy. mtc south africa is basically a bednbreakfast only has 20 missionaries max.


Tell hayden going on a mission is the best decision he can make in his life, no joke so uhh why not start preparing now.  




Well, there ya have it.  Elder Beckstead is alive, well, and loving the CCM.  its da bomb ya know.
