Howdy ya'll!
So I'm just going to write a big email
to everyone so I don't have to reply to everyone individually because
that takes mucho tiempo.
I'm now with Elders Hall and Booth who
were already my roommates so it's way chill and fun with a threesome.
It's kind of hard having to learn how to teach with three people and
new people all over again. Yeah we're teaching an investigator
already. We got him on our third day here. He "only speaks
spanish" so we have to teach him lessons in spanish. It's
probably the most difficult thing in the world. It's crazy humbling.
You feel like a loser afterwards, but it's always a learning
experience and we can't let it bug us too much, especially since
they're just fake investigators. It's very hard learning spanish, but
I can understand about 97% of what anyone says, I just can't always
respond the way I want what with all the conjugations and such. But I
can usually get my point across so they understand what I'm trying to
say. It's crazy how fast they expect us to be able to do this stuff.
But we're learning to teach by the Spirit all the more which is one
of the most important things you can do out here. Elder Dresen and I
got a baptismal commitment after our second lesson with "Eduardo",
that was the best lesson ever and we went completely off of the
Spirit and our knowledge thus far of spanish. But yeah that's what's
been happening a bit.
The rooms are cool. Lots of desk space
and such and the beds are decent. The food is way good. I work out a
lot with my roommates whether running or lifting and so I eat about
literally five plates of food every meal, so I'm definitely good
there. Thanks for the package by the way! We have so much food in our
room, we live like kings, especially with the fridge. It's way fun.
I'm way close with everyone in our zone and district. Holly Burr is
in my district! So I see her everyday for many hours. Pretty cool.
I've seen a ton of my friends here to so that's fun. I can't send
pics today because the comp I'm on won't let me and it's not my p-day
so I don't have a lot of time. P-Days rule by the way, best invention
ever. And devotionals are great. L. Whitney Clayton of the 70 came on
Tuesday and him and his wife gave amazing talks.
I was talking to a secretary and she
said we got about 700 new missionaries yesterday, and at the peak in
the summer we should have about 7,500 in the MTC. Yeah max occupancy
is 3,000. So luckily I'm out before then! But it's really like
everyone says where the days are LOOOOOOOOONG but the weeks are super
short. I only have five left! Not a lot of time to prepare. Well
sorry this is so short but I'm in the middle of language study and
I'm using my time for next week's p-day. Probably forgot a lot of
stuff but oh well.

Oh and tell people to send lots of
letters and such. It seriously is like freaking christmas when you
get them here!
