2-13-12 Letter

"Slick-back Saturday" Lookin' like a prophet (and yes, that's as far back as my hair would go.)

Dear family,

Hello from the MTC! It’s crazy but I have been here for a month.  So pretty much I ‘m already a perfect missionary totally fluent in Spanish. (not) Actually, not much has really happened this week.  We got a new district with another Elder Hatch.  He’s pretty cool, but I don’t think we are related.  It’s crazy how quickly time flies here at the MTC.  I’m sending some more pictures with this letter, so hopefully you guys like them! BTw I would love to send my bedding back, but I sadly do not have a box to do so…And also, its not like I actually need anymore, but if you guys run into some sweet tie sale, think of me! (stripes and plaids rock)

It’s pretty funny, but I didn’t even remember it was the superbowl until I got letters saying who won, and it’s great to hear BYU had a good game too! Spanish is actually going pretty well here, and I’m getting a lot better at teaching as well.  I’m reading the BOM (Book of Mormon) like a crazy person here!  I read almost 200 pages in the last couple weeks, and the meaning and applications are so much clearer now that that’s all I do!  I feel the spirit here so much but I feel like it’s less in the big devotionals and more in the smaller classroom setting.  My teachers, Hermanos Bailey y Harris, are soooo awesome.

Mom, I actually have dinner at about 5 so it’s not too bad.  That’s great that Joel got his mission call, tell him congratulations for me!  Anyways, I don’t actually have a lot to talk about today so I will end there.  I can’t wait to hear from you guys again!
