We just talked to Reilly today. He was at the SLC airport waiting to board his flight to Dallas, TX where he will call us again. He has a four hour layover and then he hops on the plane headed for Argentina.
His Spanish sounds amazing. His accent is really nice too! He told us that he was sooooo ready to leave the MTC. He said it was fun and him and his companions laughed and joked a lot but it was way to redundant for him. He told us that he would wake up, eat, sit in a class room, learn, read and then wanted to die. I guess it was rough. But he made it through and is so excited to get out in the field.
Brooklyn got to talk to him. She sand him, You are My Sun Shine. He loved it. He said that she already sounds different.
He spoke highly of his spiritual experiences. Tuesday night devotionals and then their district meeting after to talk about it, were by far his favorite experiences. He writes in his journal every day. I told him that his future wife will so love and appreciate that. She will love to read about his experiences, feelings, thoughts and opportunities he had on his mission.
Well, maybe there will be more to report tonight after we talk to him more extensively. Can't wait to hear more from him in Argentina:)

Oh and he said he didn't want to talk to Wade later because he thinks his Spanish sucks. I am sure he will be just fine and Wade will take it easy on him:) :)
