Mid MTC Letter

Tell Maryn that when ever she misses me she should just remember whenever we played halo and i would beat her so bad that she would get mad at me then she could probably go a while not missing me haha. oh we leave the MTC Monday at 1 (like lunch time not in the morning) and our flight leaves at 4:50 so expect a call any time between then unless i call after we land (its like a 45 min flight) but i bought a phone card from the MTC store for like 5 bucks that gives you a few hours of call time so we can talk as long as you want. I would directly respond to all your letters but I forget what was in most of them.. sorry. I would respond to Erin Lee cuz she sent me a dear elder but I don't have her email so let her know I got the luv. I love and miss you guys, I am still freaked out by the thought that maryn will be 16 when i get back :|

This week went by so much faster than last week. Everyone always says make it to Sunday and it will be all good which is so true. It feels like the last week was shorter than the first day I was here. President/Brother/Elder (I don't know what you are supposed to call him) Oaks came to talk on Tuesday. It was super cool at first but overall I was low key disappointed because all he did was quote PMG (preach my gospel (cmon get with the mish lingo crew)). Anyway it was still cool because I was right in the front. The food is still awful and my comp and I mostly have cereal or the lesser of all the evils, yes its that bad. The classes here are unbearably long but they are helpful so I cant complain to much. for the last few nights we have taught a TRC investigator (idk what TRC stands for sorry not sorry) but thats where each companionship gets an investigator and it can either be a LDS convert who is acting or a real investigator and you don't know until after you have taught your last lesson. Our last lesson is tonight and we haven't made much progress because this dude just rambles on and on about crossfit and his botanical garden company that he wants to start. Its kind of frustrating. But last night we actually got a few words in and invited him to pray for the same reason J. Smith did, to see if there was a true church on this earth and he agreed so I guess we will see how it goes. The sisters in our district are crazy, two of them have left, one of them willingly and one of them not so willingly, but it was mind blowing and our whole zone was just stunned for the whole day.. But on a happier note I also met a few missionaries going to Rancho, it seems like overall there aren't a whole lot of missionaries going, and Elder Hurren and I are the only English speaking elders. So yea, thats bout it, we go to the temple today around 2:00, other than that just lots of boring classes.
