Week 1 - 12/18/2012

SUBJECT:  What have I got myself into!!
Hola mi Familia y mis amigos!!!
Greetings from the MTC!!! Here I am. It is definatly an experience! To start I want to tell you a little bit about my companion. Elder Nieves. He is the same height as me, give or take, but he is bigger than me. He's from North Carolina and he is going to the same mission as me!!! I've only gained 5 lbs so far. But i'm trying!!! I'm eating as much as I can. But it kinda freaked me out the other day when my pants were feeling too tight... We have gym time like 5 days a week... I play basketball, everytime. It is so fun!!! Elder Nieves and I have our own room, the other 4 elders in our district share a room. I love these guys!!! Seriously!!! Elder Knight (Syracuse, UT) and Elder Nielsen (Roosevelt, UT) are companions and Elder Arnold (Reno, NV) and Elder Barker (St. George, UT) are companions. Elder Nielsen is a nut!!! Me and him are basically best friends... We are glad we aren't companions because we would accomplish nothing together! There are 4 sisters in our district, and they are pretty cool, I guess... But girls have cooties, so they are scary for the next two years... Our class is so fun. Our teacher is Hermano Gilmore (we pronounce it Heel-More-ay just for fun) We are supposed to speak spanish as much as possible!!! It is pretty fun, but it's hard! I wish they gave us more sleep!!! I fall asleep all the time!!! We spend about 80% of the day in the classroom! We are not allowed to study in our rooms, we have to be in the classroom, dressed and ready to go at 7am! Its not to bad... I can pray in spanish and bear my basic testimony in spanish. We have taught an "investigator" 100% in spanish! Woooo baby!!! My time is basically up... So next time, I'll make sure to write this email before i check other emails... I can't figure out how to attatch pictures... These computers are very very locked up!!! I'll see if I can learn how next week. Hey, I can read emails once a week... But I can read letters anytime!!! Send me some letters, I'd love that!!! I love you all!!!
