Hola ,     

Well, the MTC is very scheduled, but not in too much of an annoying way because of the fact that pretty much most of the schedule is class time. About 5 times a week we are in class for about 10 hours a day either doing language, gospel stuff, or our 3 hour block of personal study, comp study, and language study. We plan at the end of our day our activities for the next day but most the time we just read off our schedule so we can know what we are supposed to do.

The food is actually quite good here! There is a lot of it and I am gaining a little weight, but by the end I will probably almost way 180-190 and that isn't a joke. I played basketball one day, and threw a Frisbee another day with Elder Harrison but now we just go lift weights every day and run on the elliptical. It is all good for me. 

The language is coming. I don't understand a whole lot yet, but I am working on it. I can say a prayer and bear testimony on some things . I can read it pretty well but I don't always understand what I am reading.

We taught Tekimau (our investigator otherwise known as Sister Clark) a few different discussions and things went pretty good. But it is hard to get to know them unless they taetae n te Imitang (speak english ha) which she wouldn't do for us.

Clothes all fit good. Not my suit pants, but I rarely have to wear those so it is pretty nice. I wear my keens most days just for the heck of it and they are quite comfortable. The only days we really have to wear church shoes are like Sundays Tuesdays and Friday mornings when we go to the temple.

Elder Harrison is from Spanish Fork Utah. And we have an Elder Darm in my district that is from Sacramento California! He was stoked when I told him about Jack Clawson being called to serve in Sacramento.. He said Jack will probably be serving in two wards, one in his language and one in English.

The camera is way legit. I take pictures of flowers all the time and people make fun of me, till they see them. Then they finally understood how cool they look.

Also everyone in my entire district thinks that Perry is a small village with like 20 people all of which are farmers... Good stuff.

I forgot to mention that President Russell M Nelson came and spoke to us Tuesday! It was broadcasted to all the MTCs and I sang in the choir for it!
