Brian will leave the MTC on October 5th. Until then, he would love to hear from you. You can write him two ways:

1. dearelder.com (If you write him before 12 pm MST, he will get your letter that very day. If you write him after that time, he will get your letter the next day. It's efficient and FREE!) Where it says "select mission," select Provo MTC, and then click on Write a Letter. Enter your information. Brian's info is:

Elder Brian Sheahan
Box # 206
Mission: Chile Osorno
Estimated departure date: October 5.

Put in your e-mail address, and write your letter in the space provided. It's pretty self-explanatory.

2. Snail mail. See the side of this blog for his current address.

Here's an excerpt from his e-mail:

My companion's name is Elder Welling. He is a great person and we get along great. We are great friends. He is from Portland, Oregon. So it is hard to remember everything that I have done in the last 6 days. The first days went pretty slow. I was a little homesick, but after two days I was doing great. Scott is in the same building as me and his classroom is pretty close to mine, so I see him every 1-2 days. He comes and visits me at my room sometimes really quickly. It is hard not having him around, I miss being twins together. My district is really cool. All of the Elders are really hard working and obedient. They are all becoming great friends and examples to me. All of them except me and one more have had at least 2 years of Spanish before. I am picking it up pretty quick, but there is so much to learn. So much, but while I have been here I have realized that the Lord wants me to learn Spanish and he will help me. He is the one who called me to Chile. My companion is a triplet. And both of his brothers are going to Chile too. One is in Scott's mission, so maybe they will be companions. So I have learned how to pray in spanish, and bear my testimony, and use present tense verbs. Also a lot of vocab. I am looking forward to the time that I can speak it well.

Check back next week for more!
