"Today is the first "real" p-day. Last week it was more of a half p-day. By the way I left the letters in my room from all of you so I am not going to remember any of the questions you have for me haha sorry. 30 minutes isn't a long time to go back get em' read em' and email you guys so I think I'm gonna just stick with this.
Thank you so much for the letters everyone! They make me really happy. There is this other Elder in our district who also has a "girlfriend" and there's this joke in Spanish what's the difference between a pear and a girlfriend waiting for a missionary ? A girlfriend no es-pera in Spanish the word pear is pera and the word wait is espera so the girlfriend doesn't wait and isn't a pear hahaha ohhhhh Spanish how you make me laugh. Elder Jarvis the other Elder with a girl waiting for him was like . . that's not funny. . . I thought it was though hahaha probably helped that Blanco told me that one before I left on the mission.
I'm praying for you guys everyday, and just so you know Heavenly Father said he'd answer mine so keep being the great people that you are and Heavenly father will bless you. So I came to the MTC right as the new 110 mission presidents came to get trained which is pretty cool in and of itself, but what's even more cool is that a bunch of general authorities were here. We even had a devotional where 10 apostles were in attendance, L. Tom Perry gave the talk. Only Packard and Hales weren't there it was way sweet! Before they all got in there my companion Elder Jensen was like who do you think is gonna be giving the talk/who's gonna be there and I said hmmm L. tom Perry ? I must have the spirit of revelation or something because that's exactly who spoke hahaha. Which reminds me we were playing a Spanish game in class yesterday on how to conjugate verbs, and I named our team los segundos , because second is best, and we ended up winning a WHA ?!
So when the apostles were here the cafeteria started pumping out real food. The food has gotten progressively better. We've been teaching this "investigator" named Edin with an accent on the I so it's Edeeen and the last lesson we gave was my absolute best so far! I was so pumped after that. Oh and we had this hard one the other day we had to determine this guys problem and teach him a lesson about the problem to help him and we went last so instead of having the general 30 minutes like normal we had like 10 to get in find a problem solve it and get out-turns out it was alcoholism- only one companionship got it. My new phrase is Que WOW! Josh Cadden decided he was gonna steal it from me. We had a good talk last night, love that guy.
I seriously need a haircut. Sorry this email is so one track minded it's just I have like 5 minutes left and it's insane. Which reminds me no music in the MTC. Once I get to the field hopefully it will be better. Oh and my companion is big into singing and he's got a pretty great voice it's cool. Oh and Edeeeeen became our new teacher he's awesome. I am loving the MTC. In soccer my companion plays defense and I play offense and everyone comes up to him and says who's that bean pole running through everyone up there hahaha yup I'm a bean pole. Oh and I am Elder Circulo because I drew a perfect circle on the board without trying hahaha they are easy to please in the MTC I guess. I learned the first vision before my first lesson and it didn't flow so perfectly as it does now and yeah I've been memorizing things like crazy to help my district learn em it is so cool. Oh and coolest thing 1 minute left. So we had a workshop about Christ and we switched companions and mine was Elder Parco who seemed shy at first but holy cow when he talked I could feel just an overwhelming amount of the Spirit. We had to tell each other one thing to improve on. I said talking he said humility Ether 12:27. Got to go love you guys. LOVE YOU SALLY ! Love you Aunt Pam and Cody and chad and Grandma and Grandpa and Jamess and EVERYONE LOVE YOU BYE"
