Dear everyone and mom,
 
the tab button doesnt work and i have 21 minutes and 23 seconds. lets hope i can do it. so westly and stasia were so nice. i must say it was really nice to see them. i got to the MTC and was super freaked out. they just move you from room to room really fast. i found a big package of things in my room (which is on the top floor) then went to my class. my district is full of 9 people, 6 elders all going to houston and 3 sisters going to nebraska. my companion is elder williams. he is 21 this sunday, a runner, and is really quiet sometimes. the people in my district are weird. one is 24, has a speech impediment and is just overall goofy. his companion is 20, served for 3 months in the salt lake mission and is also a bit on the kooky side. another is 18 from brazil but really was born in idaho (Hayden is going to be treated like a king. all the people from other countries get loads of free stuff and they get to call home when they get here). the last one is Elder Bryan. he is a ranga, short, thin, never shuts up, and is overall not my favorite person to say the least. the sisters are great. ones from Arizona but more up north, one is from Wisconsin and is a recent convert and the last one is from Washington. I gave two of the sisters blessings already. that was super scary! dad wasnt there to do the hard work. the MTC is really great, sometimes. the spirit is so strong its pretty nice. the food on the other hand is just weird. like it is food but its not really food. the cookies are awesome and the milk is to die for, but i dont think you can mess that up. yes, i saw jake, mom, and no i wasnt sad when he left. we were in the same zone... kinda but not really. our class rooms were right next to each others and we wore matching ties on the day he left.
 
tuesday we had a devotional and the speaker was elder halstrom, the president of the 70. he was super good. talked about "you were called to be here for a reason so stop doubting, and to go to all church meetings." i sang in the choir cause a person in our district wanted to go so i said why not. it was fun. just sat in very uncomfortable chairs in the meeting hall. last weekend it snowed like a truck load! i hated it. i had so many layers on it was ridicules! i just kept my head down and went to where the next heater was!
 
so funny story, me and my companion were going to dinner and we got to the door and watched a guy slide down the rail, slip, and smack his face into the glass, super funny! so overall my classes are good and my study focus is getting better. i went to the temple today and did initiatories. it was fun. i dont think i will go next thursday because it will be closed for cleaning and such.. bummer.
 
Dad, you are a trooper, i dont know how you do what you do. tell me how roxanne is doing. lace, how is my favorite niece or nephew doing? bummer about your car too. if i find them up here i will beat them up;. sterl, hope your finals went well. try not to get too busy with track and such. ariel, you're the best sister in law ever. Chan, i wont forget you like sterling did. keep lace safe down in the dirty T. Grandparents, you are awesome. Mom, the dear elder thing is awesome. i got your letter the day you sent it. you should keep doing that. also, that package would be awesome. what about my patriarchal blessing???  that would be nice. im not missing my phone but i am missing down time and the big red couch!!! tell luke he is awesome, and tell brother somerville that he taught me so much and i should have paid more attention.
 
well my time is short 
 
i love ya
