Dear Familia,
Yeah, so this is it.......haha. So the mission was pretty chill. I've enjoyed it till the end. Church was good, and I feel like I'm leaving the area better than I found it. That's always been my objective. We've got a few people to work with, and it looks promising. Oh, and the chick gets back tomorrow.* The whole ward is excited here. I got sick the past few days, and on the way to play soccer in the morning, some guy in a combi** tried to hit me!
Yeah, so I'll see ya guys on Friday!! I'll admit I'm just a little bit excited!!! haha
Love y'all tons!!!!
Your son,
Elder Alexander Cato Pinegar
* A sister missionary is returning from her mission this week in his ward.

We also got a text from him on August 14, 2013 -- It was all in Spanish--but it's translated below.
Dad,
I just had my last interview (with the Pres). I feel so good. I'll see you on Friday. Say hello to the family and if you want, respond to this text. I'm going to Paita to say goodbye.
