Hey dad & mom!! Thank you for writing!! It means a lot!! So Saturday is my P day (today). The first day went great. I was definitely sad leaving you guys but as soon as they took me off I forgot all about it and was super excited. I picked up some books and my name tag and then we took a bus down to west campus (that's were all of the Spanish speaking elders stay and have classes). We dropped my luggage off at my apartment and then went straight to class. My companion is great!! His name is Elder Call. He has a good testimony and is fun to work with. The spirit is so strong here. The classes are so fun. Our teacher only talks in espanol so it was sort of confusing the first day. But after day 2 Ive started to be able to pick up on words and I can understand most of what he's saying. I'm learning SO MUCH espanol. Ive learned more these first 4 days in the MTC than i ever learned in high school. I can prayer in espanol and i can bear my testimony in espanol. And the rest of the language is coming very well. The gift of tongues is real, and its amazing!! Thank you for everything!! Maybe you could send a package or two.....or 10. It just depends on how much you love me. haha just kidding. Just know that I'm having the time of my life here. I'm living with another companionship in our very own apartment!! Its so nice and so much fun!! Oh ya, two nights ago I was made District Leader. So I'm in charge of 9 elders. Its a lot of responsibility but its really fun and I love the challenge. Well, I only have an hour on here to email so I better go. I'll try to send a letter soon. I'm having so much fun and my testimony is growing 10 fold everyday here. And I'm growing 10 fold too because of how much food they're feeding us. Just kidding, we have an hour for gym time everyday. And the food is kinda sketchy.
I want you to know how much of an example you were to me growing. Hearing all of your stories about your mission and hearing how much you loved it really inspired me to go. And guess what, you were right. I'm learning so much here and its only the 4th day. I have no desire whatsoever to come home. I love it here. The other elders in my district are great. We're already great friends and we laugh and have fun constantly. But whats amazing is that we can switch to serious spiritual mode so fast. We have fun, but at the same time we have some amazing spiritual moments together. Muchos gracias por everything. Perdon my spanglish, Its only been 4 days and i'm still learning. Pero estoy learning rapido y loving el lenguas. ( Yo se mi espanol es mal) don't make fun. Te amo. Adios.
