Dear family
 Thanks so much for everything. I Cant beleive that we are so far apart physically , but so close spiritually! I think its so neat that we are a family. I bet Karsons fare well was really neat. I will be getting my package at the next zone conferance, which is about 2 weeks so dont worry to much. It will come soon. This week was really good, I learned a lot and i am really growing in spirit and in love the people here. Well im sorry that this will be so short but i have to be going , I love you all, Did you get my letter yet!:?
 Love Elder Rowland
