his letter writing skills suck

So my brother Jacob has officially spent 1 week so far on the streets of New York City as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Needless to say I have spent the week remembering my first week on the streets of San Marcelino, Philippines. I have constantly wondered what he is doing, who he is meeting, what his experiences are. I was actually WAITING for his email today so that I could know everything he has been doing. Here is his first email:

"im sorry it such a short letter. I have been really busy in new york and at p[-day. I want you to know that new york is awesome and I promise you that I will write more next week. It a awesome city and the people are friendly! I know the gospel is true and congratulation jenny and kevin, you're in my prayer. BE strong and be patience!"

(remember that Jacob has a severe-profound hearing loss, grammar never was his strong suit:) ) Anyways--what a SUCKY letter! I am actually going to tell him I demand more details.

Anyways here is a google map image of his current apartment in the bronx:

(ok this isn't the exact apartment building, i couldn't figure out how to save the google map pictures, but this is the gist of it)

On another note---how crazy is it that I can put his address in google maps and a interactive street view picture shows up?!?! Technology......
