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.
