Sweet Bag with Brazilian Flag!!

I know that this is not a missionary picture but it is nice to have a picture to look at while you're reading what Elder Ashton has to say.....or at least I like to look at him!! But what would you expect from a mother? He sounds as chipper as before so it just makes it easier for me! And to my surprise I received three emails not just one! Come to find out two were afterthoughts but emails just the same! I'll take anything at this point!! You will notice that he is basically answering a lot of questions I had sent to him so if it seems choppy, it is! Also, I have decided to type his letters as is so any mistakes will just add to the character of his letters.......He writes:

Hey family,

that is so cool! You should definitely come and get me, it would be a blast! That is so cool that carson may have checked the blog. I wonder what he thought of it? India too huh? They were probably confused outta their minds. thats great that jman has started his job, i hope he has fun with it. Cade workin at dicks will be amazing! Especially if he gets free donuts all of the time haha. I havent seen much cause we are surrounded by buildings but what i have seen is pretty impressive. I have to spend 2 reals an hour in order to email so i think i might start just sending letters too.
I know! What is up with the stuff we got? Live and learn haha. Oh ya, i am picking up my sweet bag that i ordered from some guy today! It has my name and what mission im going to and a brazilian flag on it. Im way excited to go get it! Yes the candy lasted along time, i still have some beef jerky haha and sadly yes i watched the tv shows they were playing. They showed the office!!! I couldnt help it. The food was kinda not so good.
Ya ive only received your first letter. And i dont know whats happened to grandma but its good to hear that shes doing better.
I dont know if i told you before but i have to walk up 6 flights of stairs all day long. We cant use the elevator. And tell jman that ive been doing pushups and situps every night. Im gonna be ripped!! Its good to hear that everything is going well.
Love, Elder Smith

p.s. The next time you send me a package could you send me some of my tshirts? Ive already lost one and feel kinda strange wearin the same ones over and over. Thanks!!

Subject: One last thing!
Im kinda scared to check the blog right now so if you could send me the updates i would be eternally grateful. I dont think youll have to when im out in the field. Ill let you know.
Love, Elder Smith

Love all of ya,
Elder Ashton

So do you hear that family? Anyone who is interested in emailing an elder far from home let me know and I will send you his email address.
