Dear Papa and Gem,

Please forward this via email or whatever other method you choose  to anyone who is interested.

Basically I am here and alive and well and almost settled in. I could use some sleep though. . .

On my first day I saw Dylan Howard several times, as well as Andres for a few hours because as internationals we had to redo some of the medical things. I haven’t seen him since then since he’s in English and I’m in Spanish.

My companion is named Elder Cena from Torino, Italy. His family lived in Spain for a long time and that’s how he knows Spanish. He plays the piano and the drums and is pretty cool. He also has a pretty snazzy suit.

Tell Braden happy birthday. Also, ask the (Vigo?) what that routine was again.

Peace,

Elder K. 

Officially Elder

Keaton officially left on his mission on August 8th 2012.  He will be serving in the San Diego Mission, Spanish Speaking.

He was set apart the night before by his stake president (name?) at about 8pm.  Family and friends joined in the festivities, with a special thanks to Face Time for making it all happen! We celebrated by going to Happy Sumo, a sushi place at the Riverwoods in Provo, Utah before the event.

One of Keaton's long-time Kindergarten buddies from Peru is also left on his mission on the same day, going to the same mission, but English speaking.  Two boys all grown up and ready to serve the Lord.
