Elder Martin Update!

So Dakotah flew out to Arizona yesterday.  He spent 9 weeks in the Provo MTC and his visa???  Who knows!
 We were able to talk to him for an hour!  The MTC was not his favorite at all, but he did it and he is off and excited to use what he has learned and teach some people.   One of his best friends, Tanner Taggart went to the airport today and they missed each other by one day.  Both of them were not so happy with that.  It's awesome to have so many of Dakotahs friends out there in the field.  I am sooooo grateful for his fantastic friends!  We heard from Elder Martin today and here is what he had to say :

hey pa im in Maricopa AZ emailing you from the library. this place is tight everyones way nice its like were famous, pretty sweet. my comp is lagit hes been out 7 months and were "whitewashing" the area. i guess that means that all the missionaries in this area are new, theres 4 of us. were freakin confused as heck were getting all these phone calls for appointments and members calling and were just lost. the streets here are screwed up too the way utah is set up is so much nicer. we just moved into our house and its way nice and huge and its just the 2 of us. a members cooking us dinner right now thats pretty lagit. i cant remember our address but ill send you guys something when i have it. the mission president is cool and all the people working here are cool. i just got a bike and my comp has a guitar so im pretty stoked about that. the plane ride was so awesome it was way bumpy and crowded but it was fun, we flew over the grand canyon it was pretty cool. well were going off to walmart to pick up some stuff. our pdays are on mondays so ill shoot you another email. last night we stayed in a members house and they were both crazy about pianos they had like 10 grand pianos in their house and a bunch of other weird pianos mom would probably like it. i'm down here with one of my friends from school jonh garling tell carson that he'll be jeleous. well hopefully ill have some cool stories for ya by monday. talk at ya later-kode
