Family,

  I have got so much food! I don't need anymore because I have to try and eat all this food I have piled up in my room! Thank you everyone for sending me the food though. Any dorky fun things that some 19 year old guys would be better to throw in than food at this point. Also I get 40% off in the bookstore and I am trying to buy whatever I can in there before I get sent to California. Ties are worth more than gold in this place! Any tie that is different or flashy would be more than appreciated, I would love it.  Also some flat tip ties are cool so that could be another possible package stuffer!  Mom the thing about the Triple Combination, They don't get them in here very often so just go ahead and order it if you could, thanks.  This past Thursday me and Elder Beeston kind of got into a "funk" because we got super frustrated with one of our investigators, Eliana, we are better now but it was frustrating because she would give us answers like, "I don't know" and "I guess", they were just really annnoying.  We got 3 more inverstigators to teach this week so we will be very very busy.  I need Andrew and Michelle's address so I can write them.  Yesterday during our District Meeting me and Elder Beeston taught about obediance and we learned a lot.  During sacrament we blessed the sacrament in Spanish and it was really cool.  President Stone said we are really good at pronouncing our words.  I am still looking forward to my pin for my watch so I can wear my cool watch opposed to my other cool watch.  While here in the MTC my sense of time has been meesed up.  Every day feels like a week and weeks feel like days and this past month feels like I have been here for a year and like I have only been here for 2 days.  All I know is it is September and that is it lol.   There is no music allowed in the MTC so I won't be able to listen to music till I get out in the field.  Right now I am keeping a journal in English and Spanish so I can write what I want to say and also practice how I write Spanish.  Rudi I sent you a letter so I don't know why you haven't got it.  Robyn I am sorry I haven't wrote you yet I usually write 9 to 14 letters every P Day and its a little hard to keep writing. 

 

Today at the Temple I did initiatories and they were really cool.  We worked out in the morning and after this I think we have personal study.  I am enjoying my stay here in the MTC and being able to feel the Spirit so easily as I study.  I pray for my family and friends all the time and I love all of you.  Keep sending the mail, I love it!
