Hola padres miso!

Como le va? Ojala que todo este bien. Domo esta la casa win ningun nixo? Problamente super raro. Y hay esta su leccion de espanol para hoy.

So today I found out that UNC destroyed dook. The crazy thing is that by the time you get this the ACC tournament will be over and the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. I hope I only get good news the next 5-6 weeks. I feel like God is testing me. I might have to break my foot so I can watch next year's team in action (kidding.......slightly)

Sorry I have been really lazy writing letters. But at least there is email. Honestly P-day is my favorite day because I get to read your emails. And mess around. I'm slightly improving in soccer. I normally score every week now. I might actually be decent when I get home. I scored today and flashed the "Black Falcon". No one really understood it but that's ok. It's my new celebration when I score.

What's really weird is I'll have 8 months when you get this. The time has gone by fast. It's just weird. I have had to put down my worldly desires (watch UNC) and focus on spiritual things. It's been hard. And I don't know if I'll ever fully put it away. But I have grown up a lot. But I think I'm still the same really. Just with a little better knowledge of the scriptures. I still hate making my bed. I still hate organizing. Same old me.

I saw Dr. Pepper the other day. It was taunting me so much. Mom, Dad, I'll need a month's supply of Dr. Pepper when I get back. (I feel like Dad got excited reading that.) Maybe you should start saving money now to pay for all the stuff I'm gonna want to eat or drink when I get back. And then pay for the first month of a gym membership to work it off. haha

Well, p-day is almost over. So I'm gonna end this letter. I love you guys and miss you so much. Go Heels!

Love,
