Family: Today is P-day and fyi i will be e-mailing the same time every week, a couple things i wrote down that i wanted to tell you about, the didn't let us call home on christmas cause there are nowhere near 3,000 phone lines at the mtc, Also I see Elder Kevin Anderson fairly frequently, he's going to germany, and we say hey alot but i haven't had time to actually talk to him yet. also i've seen elder goddard a couple times, oh Elder Rinderkenect, however you spell that, he was the kid from ririe that wrestled Devin alot, the skidmores will know who he is, and he says hello to them and to tell devin he said hello for him. Did i tell you we got some new elders that moved in with elder Aleman and i? its cool except now we get less sleep cause there is more talking. You can send the dictionary that would be awesome, and I have brother Jones address somewhere but in case i lost it you better dear elder it to me, and no mom you're the only one that Dear elder's me so far and i've gotten a few letters from Britne and the Dial family as well, oh and nona sent me a card too. we had about a foot of snow on Christmas, but its rained for days on end and destroyed it all. now its just super cold all the time. We have been memorizinig scriptures like crazy as a companionship and we're up to 12 including section 4, next is the first vision. and we start teaching lesson 2 this week too, and btw some shower sandals would be awesome, i would rather not get foo fungus......... and ties are always welcome :) oh and wearing dress socks all day really makes your feet stink so could you send me some foot powder too? for the sake of the sanity of the other elders in my room at least! haha anyway, we had our first room rating yesterday, the rate rooms with thte celestial scale, exhalted, celestial terrestial telestial and outer darkness... the room right next to us was an outer darkness room, we got exhalted. oh and this past sunday we had a change in the branch/zone. there are quite a few missionaries leaving the mtc in our Zone, includiong the zone leaders, so they released the zone leaders and our district leader, called our district leader and his companion as zone leaders, and now i am district leader. woo-hoo i guess haha i haven't really ever been interested in politics of any kind, that includes mission politics, which means i'll do the Job cause the lord asked me to. i'll even be happy about it, but i don't like everyone in the district calling me jefe (note from shelly: this means chief in spanish of course) all the time, its kind of annoying, i cracked down on all the mission manual rules and further organized how things are done to maximize productivity. I also feel alot like the prophet's Bishop with the Zone leaders in my District. I'm also the Mail man, since only the District leader gets to get to mail from the p.o. box. BUt thats pretty much the summary of this week, its hard to pick just one spiritual expirience to share because its normal to feel the spirit here, so i guess that is my spiritual expirience, i can always feel the spirit!! :) Anyway the Laundry is again almost done, Hello to the family Love ya lots! and Happy new Year!!
Livy: Sounds like the Wii is super fun!! and yeah only having E-mail once a week and for 30 minutes is a bit irksome but thats what you get when you go on a mission, not that i am complaining at all i love it! Its lots of fun out here and i'm not even actually teacing real people yet. Love ya lots and how's school going?
Emmett: whats up is hard to respond to unless of course you happen to be a super cool big brother who likes getting mail and had a whole week to think about what he was going to say to, "whats up" haha anyway, whats up is I sit in a classroom and learn every day except tuesday, even sunday i learn cause i am learning how to teach the gospel which is pretty much church. the time goes super fast here, and drags on at the same time but you get used to it, oh and i speak so much spanish i even think in spanish sometimes. when i can't remember a word in english i just say it in spanish and vice-versa, anyway how's school? Love ya bud!
Dillon: Did you get my package and if so what is the consensus? Hows school? you gonna graduate?
Wyatt: The mission is a whole new world, work hard and learn how to study now so you don't have to figure it out when you get to the MTC, Love ya & write back!
