So, Alex has been in the MTC for a little bit now and he is seriously LOVING life!!!! As we all expected, he is working as hard as he can and seeing great rewards! Alex is adjusting well and couldn't be happier. Here is his first quick shout out from the MTC and I'll post his latest letter in just a few min! I don't have any pictures yet, but I'll post them as soon as we get them!
HOLA Everyone!! Today is just a quick little p-day to just write, do some cleaning and some other stufff :P Well I have read all of your letters and I really do enjoy every letter I get. I haven't checked the mail today since I can't till lunch. Anyways, I have been doing great!!! I really like the MTC and all the teachers here. To answer all of your questions I will just go down the line. I have a great district. They are so nice and very humble. We have two converts. One is from Canada and the other from Cali!! Elder Allen (who is a convert from Cali), is in my trio. We have me, Elder Bagley, and Elder Allen). In our district we have 11 elders. With that said we have a cultural background. One elder is from Sweden, one is from Australia, and the other is from Canada!!! The rest of us are from the states!!
Going on I have great companions :) We all get along and we all want to LIGHT IT UP!! hahahaha It was great because I have been getting up at 6 every morning because I want a warm shower, so we all get up at 6. We all want to support and help each other with the gospel and Spanish. With that said Spanish is coming along. If feel that I have learned more in these 4 days than my 3 years of Spanish combined!! haha the joke I use is "yeah I took 2 years of Spanish 1 :P" Everyone laughs and we all just love to work and get along. The best thing about this is our lab time. They have a software package that helps us understand what we are learning and studying. It's called TALL and it's a study tool to help us get a head start on our Spanish. It's really cool. Now about the teachers :) His name is Brother Hardy, he has been back for 4 months and he is a great teacher. He only speaks Spanish but sometimes.... only sometimes he will speak a little English. It's a breath of fresh air when he does. The first time he did (yesterday) I wrote in my journal... he finalllyyy spoke in English!! He has been using more and more English, but he says he doesn't like to because he wants to teach us more about listening to him.. Which I thought... hmmmm I wonder where I heard that from :) Which by the way thank you for the walks. They really meant a lot and I see every single talk we have had come to life in the MTC!!! I have really been trying hard and studying like crazy!! In the end we are all in the same boat. Some Elders are a little bit faster learners than others. I am in the middle of it all. I understand him, but at the same time I don't. I listen for key words to know what he is trying to say. I really do love the MTC. I can already tell that i have been ready for a long time.
Mom Dad, I love you so much, thank you for teaching me all the lessons I needed to know early on so I can use them here. I love you so much :) I hope all is going well, I will write more about everything when I get more time.
Mandy, I hope the baby is doing great!! I love you so much and I hope work and keeping David in line is going good :P And I loved that story you told me :) hahahahah good ol' times!!
