PDAY!!


The guy on the far right is my companion Elder Nash. the other people is all the elders in my district.
We found a room where someone duct taped the lock so it wouldn't lock when shut and there was a ton of mattresses everywhere so we built a fort!  I am not sure which mountains those are but they were really cool and snowy so I took a picture of them.

When I am here it doesn't feel like Utah, it feels more like a Mormon concentration camp.  We are sitting at our desks all day every day and it is terrible.  This will probably be the last time I will be able to talk to you from the MTC because I leave here at 8:50 PM for my flight at 12:50 AM!! isn't that crazy!? Also i have to pay for my baggage fee at the airport which makes me kinda sad

I gave a blessing to this sister here and it was great!  Also there is this Elder that lives next to our room and he is from Scottland and he talks funny and it is hilarious listening to him.  He also does this hilarious accent of a redneck.  It sounds like a Scottish guy trying to be a redneck.  

I feel like I have grown so much I feel the spirit stronger here then any were else I have been.  I keep finding myself remembering things that I never remember learning, like scriptures and principles.  I realized this when I watched a Christmas talk by elder Bednar titled "The Character of Christ" i think. (tell Kazhia i want her to watch it)  it was so strong and powerful.  At the same time it is really funny and he does this hilarious impression of the cookie monster! 

Also I forgot to say that the computers here at the MTC doesn't have spell check so there will be a lot of errors.  Pday is so great! it is my favorite i even get to take a nap!! Isnt that great!

1st Letter 3/15/13

     Thank you so much for the cookies I haven't had time to try them yet but there is also a little bit of candy and i had some starbursts.  The food here is alright and i can have as much as I want but there is usually a really long line if i want seconds. There is doughnuts out for almost every meal.  You know those blue bunny ice cream novalties freezers at like gas stations, well there is one here so that has been my best friend.
 
     I am only here for 12 days can you believe that?! also my flight leaves on the 25th at 12:50 AM which is really weird. These computers are really slow so I cant jump around to edit this so it will look weird.   I wrote you a letter because I didn't think I could send an email this week but I can.
 
     I had to teach an "investigator"  who was really my teacher and she said we were pretty much the best even though she didn't say that.  Anyway it was VERY spiritual and the only reason we did well is because I have a really good companion he is a year younger than me and he know so much more.  His name is Elder Nash and he is black.  I forgot what else I was gonna say so this is it.  There is more in my letter. 
 
     Also I almost forgot I am the assistant district leader and my companion is the district leader.
