Teano July 26

The MTC is awesome! I went out into the real world on tuesday and wendesday for the chryopracter I don't know if you got that message or not but yeah it was werid to think that the world keeps turning out side the mtc. in here it feels like time stands still outside the mtc! The language is coming better then I thought. Me and my compaion fight a lot because we are so similar. (we both like to be right)

Hey everyone!

How are you? this week was nuts! first our distract leader went to Vegas on monday to get his visa (i'm still waiting on mine and I leave a week frommonday) i can't believe how fast time is flying by. Tuesday my back and shoulder were killing me so i Went to the doctor about it and he had me go see the chryopracter about it. IT was nuts! bUT My back hasn't felt this great in a long time! and I also got a really bad cold that same day (i'm still trying to fight it off). Infact it was so bad on tuesday that during our tuesday night devotinal review my branch president made me go back and sleep it was 8:30when he told me too. i was so ticked I couldn't fall asleep. oh well.Wednesday I had to go back to the chyropracter and see if it was doing any better (it is don't worry about that). He realigned it again and on wednesday he wants to see me again. So yeah. after the chyropacter on wendseday I was able to host! I was so excited to see all the new people who couldn't wait to serve their lord like me! It was a great feeling. Thursday Was just another class day. And we skyped a sister in mexico that was our investigator for the day. It was amazing how much i could understand when listening to her. I was told not to worry about saying something wrong in the lesson and just pray to have the spirit with us and the lord would take care of the rest. I have seen that it really works. So if you are having tough times just pray to have the spirit with you and try your best to push through and the lord will take care of the rest. I got to see two of my friends that came in last week. I got pictures with them but they are on their cameras so I will have to snag them from them and send them out to you guys.

Hey Mom and the outside world,

I'm doing really good. After the fight that me and my compainon got in on friday last week we haven't really faught since. I'll share that story in a miniute. YES I GOT YOUR PACKAGE AND IT CAME WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST SO THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! No, why don't you keep it there and I can have it when I get home. Will you maybe send me my cowboys blanket? it's a little thinner and I think it would remind me of you guys and it would be great to have! The MTC is amazing!!! Who would have known that I could strengthen my testimony so well!!!!!! I can't believe it, days are flying by here so fast and I don't have much time in th MTC left. Yesterday we learned past tense and commands in spanish! I feel like spanish is really coming to me, and then I get in to a lesson with our investigator and it just goes boom all over my head! And for those of you who don't get it, we have our teachers play a role of a investigator that they had and we have to get them ready for baptism, by sharing the lessons it's super hard at times and other times it's super easy but no matter what it's always fun and and very rewarding! I love it here in away I wish I could stay here forever but I know that someone in mexico needs me and that I need them more then they need me.Monday I got a package that Kaylie, Christian and his girlfriend (emily) sent me! IT had MT DEW, chips candy popcorn and a whole bunch of crap! I'm still trying to eat it all, the problem is when I can finally return to my dorm I am not hungry so I don't want to eat it so I just wait and say "oh tomorrow I willl be hungray and I'll eat it then" but I never do. Well since today is my P-Day I was finally able to go to the bathroom, (for those of you who don't get that joke as my mom), JHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no in all seriousness I have not a lot to do today. Since the temple is closed and won't open until after we leave we have a lot of free time to do what ever. So me and my companion usally just sleep and take a nap. But today I think that we are going to work out, since I've gained 6 pounds since I got here. With how much I've been eating (it's a buffet here you get all the food you want) is amazing that I've gained so little. But me and my buddies have decied to work out all next week to get rid of it. IT's going to be a long week. I also got a package on monday from Gigi and Papa that had my speaker and a note to me. IT was very nice to read it. and then Tuesday I got the package from my mom, wednseday I got a package from Grandma! It was crazy! And since then I have got nothing. :( BUt that's ok because I know you guys still love me! Right? Or have you just forgotten about me and left me to fight for my own? HAHAHAHA Man I am on a roll with cracking jokes at 630 in the morning! Will you send me another pair of the shoes that we got in JC pennies (brown) or if you can't find those any pair of brown shoes will work. and some brown/tan socks would be the best. So before I Forget I have another story. Yesterday I started to read the book of mormon in spanish and I was not understanding any of it so I was getting super discouraged! So I went and asked my teacher what I could do that woukd help. He said (and this is what I did) to get anthoer copy of the Book of Mormon (a cheap one) and with every word that I Don't know to look up in either the dictonary or the English set and write the english word above the spanish one. IT has helped me so much since I did it! I recomand anyone that is wanting to learn spanish so do this. I feel like I can get way more out of it! We really learned how to teach yesterday and with our second investigator it really helped. I can't beleive that we did so well I feel like I could baptize her tomorrow! Well I don't have really much more to say. but if I think of it I will send another email because I still have another 30 mins that I can be on. But I have to go change my landury so talk to you next week or later today I haven't decied yet. LOVE YOU ALL oh and tell tance and Sawyer HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ME! ask them if they want anything here at the mtc for it! LOVE YOU ALL.

Alright for some weird reason all the computers that I try to upload my photos on to can't. So I will keep asking around and see what ones work and I PROMISE THAT NEXT WEEK I WILL SEND THEM TO YOU OR AT LEAST SEND THE SD CARD HOME.

 I love you, please send as many pictures to me as you can. I want to feel like I never left home. 

 I'm so happy that you guys are doing well and staying strong. I keep forgetting my camera so I will have to go get it and send it to you later. So this week a lot happened. On Monday I got really sick and had to get a priesthood blessing from my distract. that was a really neat experince and I love them all. Tuesday we were in class all day but that's not a bad thing, because I have learned a lot of the language. Wednsdeday was the same thing as tuesday. thursday was cool because it was the 4th of july and we were able to see the fireworks from the staidum of fire.

 I love you and send all the love to everyone. My scripture is alma 61 21. Tell tance to make sure that he is studding Preach My Gospel. Quynn told me to read it and I blew it off, IT WILL REALLY HELP HIM!!  I can't wait to be out in the field and doing this for real. I will do my absolute best!!!!! Dad will you start emailing me in spanish so that I can get a little bit better in the langauge. i'm doing the best I can in it but I still have a long way to go.

 Aunt Lita!!!!!! thank you so so so much for the package I loved everything that was in it. It will always remind me of you. I love that you care enough about me to send stuff like that. Every gym when I wear the clothes you sent me I think of you and your family. MOM!!!! Have you sent my alarm clock? and will you also send me my blanket that Sis Kikel made for me? thanks love you talk to you next week.

Hey Mom, sorry my first email was so short. We were just about to head to the temple and we wanted to get there is time so that we could change. So on my first day here at the MTC I ran into Nate Anderson. And my second day and today I ran into Aaron Proctor. Oh and one of Kaylies cusions. Im having a harder time learning how to say the spanish words. But I can transalate them really well when I read. My Companion is Elder Cammack. He is exactly like me when it comes to personality. I think thats why the lord but us together.  Lets see what else have I done since I got here that you would really like to know, Oh I don´t know how to make a question mark on the computer. Everytime I Go to hit it the computer puts in something else. It´s really weird. Oh sorry I dont have pictures I forgot my camera back at my dorm. I promise I will get them to you next week. My mailing address is
