Found first letter to us when he got to CA.

Hey guys. How are you? I'm on the plane to California right now. There are 14 elders with two sister on the plane going to Anaheim. Seven elders and two sisters are Spanish speaking. The rest are from my district and English speaking. When we land we will be greeted by our mission president. Then we will most likely go to the mission home and have orientation. That is where we find out all the rules and regulations for the mission. Also, we will get our trainer or our new companion for six weeks. Then we will most likely be doing street contacts or training for the rest of the day. We don't waste any time here. I am so excited to finally be out in the mission field. I am also really scared. It is going to be a huge change from the MTC. I saw Tyson Stratton a bunch before I left. He is going to the Ventura CA mission, which is two mission above me. We are about to touch down, so I'll write more tonight.

So it's October 5th now and I love being a missionary. I've maybe been out here for four days and it is awesome. I'm only allowed to send one letter a week and can only write it on p-day. P-day is Monday for us. My companion is Elder Catmul and he is awesome. He is just like me. We both love basketball and love to joke around. We are awesome missionaries though and he is really hard working and doesn't mess around. He even knows Jess and went to high school with her. We both love board games also. He even makes up his own board games just like me. That is what we are going to do on p-day and we are excited. He is an awesome trainer also. He knows his stuff and teaches me so much every day. We get along really well. We teach well together also. So Anaheim is the birth place of Anti-Mormon literature. Everyone here knows about the church and usually is full of anti propaganda. There are many great and abominable churches here just like Texas. They are all giving out sermons about the Mormons. We taught a very, very Catholic man today and he called us followers of Joseph Smith and said we changed scripture. We didn't bash with him though and his heart was softened and actually agreed to read the BofM by the end of our conversation. The Jewish people hate us here and yell at us in Hebrew all the time. The members here are so amazing though. Every single night we are fed wonderful meals. The ward mission leader is awesome also. I am doing awesome and I love you all so much. This church is so true and you guys are amazing. I love you.

Love, Connor
p.s. Can you send out my mech warrior game? We want to play it on p-day. It should be in a shoe box on my shelf in my closet. Don't worry it isn't against the rules and we only play board games on Monday. Thanks so much.
