I
cant believe that it has already been over a week since I left home! In
some ways it feels way fast and in others it feels pretty slow. It was a
big change in lifestyle from living "the life" and then coming here. It
took a little time for me to get used to getting up early for the
day. This MTC is really small and really different than the Provo MTC. It
is pretty much a hallway. It is just a plain four story
building. It also kind of feels like a
prison in a way because we can't leave at all. I just want to go outside
of the walls and see the city and how crazy it is. As you know, I am
used to staying out until 3 and sleeping in until 12... but I kind of
like getting up early. The food here is alright but im not a picky eater
so I eat all of it. We usually have rice and beans for lunch and then
lots of other random stuff. My comp is a
six foot six kid. He is pretty cool but he complains about a
lot of stuff and only talks about how he misses home.. so it is kind of
annoying but its alright. The spanish is coming really good. I feel that I have learned more in the last week than I did in the two years that I
took it in school. I know that I am not learning it alone. The spirit
really has an influence on how much I learn each day. The days that it
is strong I learn a lot and can speak a lot. The days that it isn't with
us I can't learn anything. There are
lots of amazing missionarys here with me in the MTC. I love all of the
latinos here because thay are way nice and want to help you learn Spanish. There have been so many stories about the DR that are getting me
pumped to go into the feild. Everyday I have amazing spiritual
experiances here and everyday my testimony gets stronger. I Really do
love you guys so much and miss you all more than anything! I really wish
that I could just talk to one of you right now but I guess that we will
just have to wait until Christmas. I know that this is where I am
supposed to be in life and I am loving it!! I love you all so much!!
Love
your son
