Dear Family,
Right now I'm on a bus and I'm on my way from Billings to Missoula. It's about a 8 1/2 hour bus ride all by myself. hahaha It's ok though, I'm sitting on the back of the bus.

So, I'm in Montana and I'm not that cold. Don't get me wrong, I'm cold but I thought it would be worse!! I'll probably get to Missoula around 12:00 midnight, hopefully earlier. I am LOVING this!! Once I get to Missoula I will stay with Elder Stantage and Elder Mall, then get up around 5:00 AM, eat, get changed and leave for Kalispell, Montana, then I will be picked up and brought to Whitefish, where it is my 1st area! YEAH. I'm so EXCITED!! I can't wait to get there.

Don't ever, ever, EVER worry about me. I'm protected at all times in all places and I'm just absolutely loving it!!! :) I can't believe I'm here! I cannot wait to get there!!! I hear that Whitefish is really cold, but one of the most beautiful places that Montana has to offer. It's very pretty here. Many mountains, LOTS of open space. Beautiful but cold.
I love and miss you all so much! The gospel is true!! I love you all!!!
Love always,
Elder Unga

Dear Family!!!
HEY GUYS!! Wow! I am in Montana. I can't believe it. Our flight was good. I love you all so much. Right now I'm at the mission home in Montana. I met President Fisher today and he is awesome! He has a lot of expectations. He is awesome!! Our goal as a whole mission is 50 baptisms a month and an investigator a week for each companionship! He is very very strict and to the point, but boy do I love it!! He asked me in my interview if I had any questions and I said, "Lets just get to work" he said, "GOOD BOY, I LOVE YOU!!!" haha he is so awesome. :)

I find out who I am serving with and where tomorrow morning when I wake up!! :) I'm SO EXCITED!!! I can't believe that the MTC is done and over with. I thought I learned a lot there but President said you have not learned anything yet!! I'M SO EXCIETED TO GET TO WORK!!! The gospel is true and I love you all and miss you tons!!!

Love eternally,
Elder Unga

P.S.

I'll meet him probably on Thursday so Friday I'll be knockin on doors :) :) He is not only my trainer, but he is the district leader. This is so cool!!!
