Last Letter From The MTC

Bueno Hola Familia,

It sounds like everything is going well for the family and the family is busy like always. Tell katie congratulations on the starting position that is a sweet thing. I only got one email this week and one letter this week from lexie so that is a kind of preperation for down in mexico. But yeah i don't know if i told you about the mail down there, it isn't bad so yeah it takes like 12 days for regular mail to get here from there. So yeah it isn't bad just don't send anything to valuable if you send anything. Well i'm happy that the family is doing great at home!

Another week flew by in the MTC. It feels like i just emailed you guys yesterday and i don't have much to say but a lot of things have happened this week.

First off i got my travel plans!! I leave the mtc at 3 and our flight is at 6. We then fly to dallas fort worth and we have like a 2 or 3 hour layover. Then we leave there at like 1230 and fly to ciudad de mexico which will be awesome. We are there for SEVEN yes SEVEN hours. We have a huge layover in ciudad de mexico until we jump on a plane and fly to culiacan! We get to culiacan at like 10:05 so yeah i will be doing a lot of studying that day. Ha so i don't know what time i am going to call you guys. Email me back before 6 so that i can check it, if you have a good time for me to call you. But yeah i am pretty pumped. Oh and the culiacan aeropuerto only had dose
terminals. So it is going to be a ride on some ghetto little plane. I am pumped!! ha ha

This week a lot of stuff has happened.

On thursday our district taught a native district who is right across from us. It was a real eye opener. They spoke super fast and i blanked and forgot what i was talking about cuz me and my comp were pretty nervous. (yeah i know we have been here for 8 weeks) but yeah that was a not so good day. I was super frustrated and i had to go into the bathroom and i was on the verge of tears. It wasn't such a good day.

But ya know the next day was good cuz i just got over it and yeah. But also this week our district was shooting for a goal of 200 spanish lessons in a week. There was a district that left like a week after we got here and they got like 180 so we wanted to beat that. And i'm pretty sure that we got like 201 so that is pretty awesome. Cuz the week before this last week we only got 100 when our goal was 65 our teacher was pumped but i can't wait to see her tonight when we tell her we got 201 it is pretty amazing. Me and my comp are getting better and better at teaching by the spirit and not just teaching the lesson. He has been an excellent comp here in the mtc and i am very grateful for that. Hopefully my trainer will be sweet too and we get a long good which i know that we will.

I can't even remember what happened this week because it flew by so fast it is crazy. Pretty much our whole focus this week was teaching lessons. We have had some good times with our teachers and they are pretty sweet!

One funny story that happened this week was hermana durrant, her dad is Devin durrant if you know he played ball or something, but anyways we were about to begin our class and elder dubois was throwing candy to everyone and then elder rex was up and the front cuz he is our leader of the music, but elder dickson threw him one and she tried to catch it and we have rolly chairs that we got from the computer labs and she was on one of them and she ate crap and we felt bad! But she is cool and she laughed about it and she got the chocolate then she left and she came back and she taped the chocolate rapper on the board. It was great! but yeah...
I'm nervous for mexico cuz it is still hard to understand some of the things especially the natives! They speak super fast and yeah i know i will get used to it but i just want to get used to it right now.

I actually talked to rob for like a little bit right before he left. He seemed pretty excited but that sucks that he has a 20 hour layover! ha that is crazy!

I don't think anyone is coming in real soon that i know.. Bubba was suppossed to come in this week? that is wierd that he is already coming in. He probably would have been in our zone. but yeah...

Today at the temple we did our last endowment session for two years. It was great. I'm gonna miss the temple..Today also we ate in the cafeteria and we ate actually good food. It was legit! This last week has been some boring nasty food and the mtc and i am super sick of it. I am at 15 pounds now but i am expecting that i will lose it here in about 4 weeks. But did i tell you what happened two weeks ago in the temple? well i guess i messed up at the end ya know and the guy didn't correct me and i said it like twice and then when i went through then the guy like kind of got mad at me but yeah it's alright no hard feeling towards him just thought i would let you know that it happened.

Well family i think that is it. I'm excited to talk to you guys on monday. I think you are still forwarding this to the family and lexie right? if not then yeah that would be good i guess if you could do that cuz i don't have muc htime on here. Well i love you all and you are all in my prayers.
