Yesterday turned out to be a wonderful day!  Gabe sent his first email.  ❤️It was short and sweet, but now I can breath again.... Here it is!

Hello family! 
I have made it to the CCM and what a wonderful place it is!
Guatemala is pretty crazy and hot, but the food here is really good. My
companions name is Elder Thorne and he is from Spokane, Washington! We were
friends at the airport. People here drive crazy, and the bus ride here was
pretty crazy. I will email next wednesday, but this is just short, so now
to learn spanish!

Love you all!

Elder Richardson
