How was your week?

Family!!!!!
 
another great week at the mtc. glad to hear that everyone is doing well and safe. its been a long week but only four more weeks and i am off to Argentina baby. one month down. the elders that we room with and the ones next door left on monday and tuesday. the two we roomed with elder Davies and Elder dickinson both left to idaho and to iowa. elder pitt and elder pederson went to maryland and elder richards went to virginia. it was fun to spend our last nights together. good group of elders. every elder here becomes your best friend. we finally got our new teacher Hermano Jarmin. he is from arizona, he went to spain on his mission. any spanish speaker hates spain for two reasons. 1 is they use the vosotros conjugation which spanish speakers never use. and their dumb accent. they pronounce their C, S, Z with a "th" sound. it sounds soooooo dumb. but they are proud of it. he sounds so funny when he talks. we just laugh. the investigator he does is Miguel. Miguel doesnt like the missionaries much. his wife is a member but he hates the missionaries so when we go to appointments with him, he just yells at us. its way fun. hahaha Elder Merrell Bateman came and talked to us on tuesday. he was kinda boring. took a few notes but i knew dad likes him. we got a new district last wednesday. i dont know them very well. we had three hermanas leave to the guatamala mtc yesterday for six weeks.
my companion is the district leader. its rough cause now we have to strictly keep the rules. the old district leader is the new zone leader. elder drout and elder johansen. they will do well. elder johansen is so funny. he wants to hang out a ton after the mish.
got your package!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! the picture is on my desk in the room and i just loved everything in there. i also got a dear elder package from sarah with some goodies and a little letter in it. i enjoyed it :)
got my hair cut a few weeks ago, and i need to get it cut again. you know how i like my hair.
i met an Elder Ross from idaho the other day. i got pictures with him. he is going to peru. he walked passed me and said "hey elder ross, i'm elder ross, nice to meet ya" we talked for a bit.
So i've recived alot of talk on the college thing here. im torn of where to go. i have good friends going to utah state. (which is probably where i will go for my generals after the mish), elder davis is going to snow. elder davies wants me to go to byu idaho. he says its called byu ido for a reason( BYU I DO). then got a few friends going to the U. idk where i want to go.
Eric Nielson dear eldered me. i wrote back to him today. sounds like his family is doing well.
So laurie will like this.....Brian Green who played for Utah State basketball is in my building. he is on the bottom floor. i might get a pic with him. Elder Pederson who just left said he could beat him just cause he is tall. he said defensivly he could beat him. but he would lose. so i said well if he wins that means your defense wasnt good. cause he won. anywho.
i am starting to dream in spanish more and more. its kinda cool how it works,
Rhet Gardner from high school is here finally. i've seen him around a few times. he seems to be doing well.
So on sunday i guess i am playing a musical number in sacrament, so i need to go practice on that sometime today. wish me luck.
have you gotten anything from megan yet? sarah said she saw pics on facebook and they looked cute. i wonder if she sent out the invitations.
sarah isnt dating that kid anymore. just fyi in case ya even cared!! hahaha
life is great, still working on those pictures, i got them printed but the book store doesnt have them yet. idk what the deal is but i will for sure get them sent as soon as i get them. for sure. i owe alot of people pictures.
Elder pitt handed down a salina gomez picture to me so that is on my wall also hahaha
glad to hear the family is doing well. miss ya lots but this is all worth it. the spanish is coming along slowly but i can see the lords hand in this. im a million times better than i was when i left. love ya family and god bless.
