5 Weeks in the MTC

Hola,

Como Estan? Everything is great here so far. It's crazy that yes it is 5 weeks already. This last week flew by so fast and i don't know where it went.
I will try and get you so stuff to give to sherry Crosbie. But i dont' really know like what. Just dearelder me some tips. Like just full letters to everyone? emails? or what? Just let me know and i will do that it will be sweet.

It sounds like sports is going good at the Harvey homestead. like always. That is one of the things i loved the most growing up was being so into sports it has prepared me well for the mish and what comes after it. It has taught me how to work hard. How did Katie's volleyball and taylors game go? the ones you couldn't tell me about it?

As for my travel plans it isn't a for sure thing. I know it is the 28th for sure. I think 630 in the morning becasue i think that is what time logan brown left so that is what i am thinking. And of course i will call the family it will be my first call so don't think that i wasn't going to because it didn't even cross my mind not to.

I miss the garden vegetables. The food here is getting so old and nasty. The same thing over and over and over. But whatever ya know. I think i am at like 11 pounds or something because yeah i eat a ton and my district always says wow or holy cow stuff like that. But yeah i miss the garden corn and even watering it.

It sounds like the babies are doing well. And it puts a smile on my face to hear about them and how they are talking a ton more and how they are riding trikes and cruizing around on whatever. What a blessing they are in my life both of them.

Did you guys have the opportunity to get away this weekend? Labor Day? if so where did you guys go? It is wierd here in the mtc you just forget what month and day and stuff it is because you are just always busy studying and they all feel like the same day. But it is great.
I'm glad ashlee found a job. Sky teases me about how they are working on a niece so, mom and dad if they start acting wierd about kids then yep they are pregenant. But that is great.

Now for my week. Nothing special really happened i don't think. I'll try and remember all the things that happened but i don't know if i will be able to cuz it wasn't nothing very special.
We got a new district leader and it is my companion elder cope. So i'm the district leaders wife ha ha. He is pretty much just in charge of getting the district news and getting the mail here in the mtc but i know in the field that it is totally different so yeah. I don't know if i told you that we got new zone leaders. They are also from our district. Elder grimm and elder dubois. The older district wasn't very happy about that but they are good and it's good that they came from our district i think.

Thank you for the package again i have a ton of candy and stuff now. Grandma sent me a package and letter as well so i am going to write her today. Inform her about me you could even give her my emails and stuff if you wanted but yeah.

Our teachers started school so we got a whole new schedule this week and yeah it is not as good i think. We have them a little less time for their teaching but it is ok. Spanish is coming along and we have taught the first lesson many times now. I am also getting just normal talking vocab down so that is good. Even though the last two weeks i feel like i haven't improved but i know i have but it is tough. It feels like i have just hit a wall. But prayer has helped a lot.

I don't know what else to say. this week wasn't anything special. I dont' know if i have told you that we chat on mormon.org. it is pretty awesome sometimes and how people are very interested in the church. They ask some questions and i have had some good ones where i commit them and they are willing to change and want to change. But at the same time i get a lot more terrible bad ones. Some people just get on their to argue and to down our church and stuff and it is so hard to not just be like "you're and idiot" and just get upset and yeah. It is tough but i know that Christ loves them so i do too. I have also had a ton of people taht are very crude and it just breaks my heart at how people can talk about Jesus Christ and God the way they do. But ya know ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I love them either way because they are children of god.
One thing that happened good this week was in the trc. Me and my companion actually taught the investigator and not the lesson in spanish. We have had a hard time with that, usually we just teach the lesson and not the person. So that was good the spirit helped a lot to direct us and i felt way good after that lesson.

The devotional last night was pretty good. Elder sybrowsky of the seventy. He talked about how we are indebted unto the lord. and it was great seeing how i am on a mission and yes i will be blessed and yes my family will be blessed but i still owe god everything becasue he has given me everything. Just remember that family that WE will always owe god, but at the same time God loves us sooooo much becasue of the choices we make.

I have heard that there is a hurricane in cabo? tell me about what happened or what not? i would love it if we got down there and did service for like a month, liek build houses or what not. I would love that but i will love teaching about the gospel as well.
I think that is it. Tell me how the family is doing and tell everyone i love them and to stay close the the gospel it is the only thing that brings true happiness. As well as families! Love you ALL!!!!

Elder Harvey
