Jackson's first letter....

Dear Family,
What's going on fam? It's my first day here and things are pretty good so far. We met my teachers Bro. Dean and Sis. Pico. They are super cool and really nice. My district is pretty cool and we have people that are going to Ukraine also. My companions name is Elder Sauders, he is a pretty nice kid. He is from Chicago and he has six siblings. I thought it was pretty ironic how two kids form the Midwest are companions. We listened to our Mission Presidency for about an hour. There were over 300 missionaries that reported today. It was crazy! Dinner was pretty interesting. The cafeteria is huge, we eventually found the other Russian Missionaries. They call the place where they eat the Iron Curtain. It doesn't really feel real yet that I'm here. I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow morning. I can already tell that this will be a good experience. I'm already learning some Russian and the spirit is really strong. I've seen Elder Mattei a alot today and it has been really good to see him.  I saw Elder Russo for a little bit but didn't get to say much. We have to wear these stupid orange stickers on our name tag so everyone will know we are new and say hi to us. Anyways hope all is well and miss you guys already. I love you. Elder Jewkes
