FW:

Hey I'm here and I'm alive and I have one more hour today than you do. I haven't been assigned to my area or my companion yet so I guess I'll have to write you next Monday. I think that is my Pday. I also think my bike is here but I am not sure yet. There is also a package here from mom but I haven't opened it yet.
I could have called this morning but I decided not to because I'll call in December. Oh, but I did try calling with the calling card because one of the missionaries in our group was missing so I had to call my mission president. I ended up having to use quarters. It all worked out. Well, I'm excited and not really nervous yet. I don't think it has hit me yet that I'm on my mission. Well thanks again. I have plenty of stories for you already so I'll write you soon.
Love Elder Ryan J Allred
