I went on a mission for the Mormon church
<br>A different way of life for a boy to enter
<br>It wasn’t long after my 19th birthday
<br>When I spent 2 months in the training center
<p>Then I spent 22 months in Guatemala
<br>Where I had to get used to the cultures
<br>Instead of hamburgers and eagles
<br>It was black beans and vultures
<p>On the back of one of the first envelopes
<br>Of a letter I sent home to be read
<br>I wrote the first of what would be many poems
<br>That came off the top of my head
<p>I didn't start it thinking I'd always do it
<br>But I ended up putting a poem in every letter
<br>I made sure to try to make each one funny
<br>As my wittiness and creativity got better
