First P-Day

My P-Day is on Tuesdays just so you know.  Also, If you can write your emails through DearElder.com that would be awesome.  It is the same as writing the email but 1) I don't have to wait for my P-day and 2) I will have more time to email you. Okay now for the good stuff. 

First...I got on a plane with about 10 other missionaries.  Then I got on a shuttle with about 5 other missionaries.  Then I got to the MTC with like about 1000 other missionaries.  Ok I'm just kidding it was barely over 600...Ha.  Ok so then I went to my classes got moved in, met my awesome district and my awesome companions, etc.  The first couple days were pretty crazy and intimidating, but now I am doing pretty good:)  Except I have to complain about the bed...I am so grateful that I have one, don't get me wrong, but it is was a rough couple of days.  First, it is as hard as a rock...second, the pillow is super puffy and I have to strain my neck to put my head on the pillow...Crazy right?  And then when I tried to sleep without the pillow the rock hard mattress was crushing my jaw.  I had a hard time sleeping the first couple of nights...and then one night I hit my head really hard on the nice little cinderblock wall and I fell asleep great after that...When I woke up I started to get ready and suddenly I just had this really bad headache and then I remembered why.  I'm not kidding by the way.  I hit my head again last night too, but it wasn't as bad.  And my neck is adjusting to the pillow.  But I seriously woke up with neck pain last week and it hurt.  But I am being good and stretching so hopefully my back will not suffer to much from my bed...It'll probably be worse in Chile so...yeah good news.

Well, like I said my companions are pretty cool and I love them, but I will admit they are way more emotional than me.  It makes me realize how much I miss Karrie.  I LOVE YOU KARRIE BECKSTEAD!!!!  Because I am just not that emotional.  Of course I am really worn out by all this business and spiritual enlightenment, but I feel like I am not really overwhelmed like other missionaries are...And nobody will practice Spanish with me:(  Because by the time we finish class they just can't handle it and it irritates them when I try talking or praying in Spanish.  And I'm just like, "Uh...well we are going to Chile so..."  But I need to be more patient with them so that they don't get mad at me.  And I really do love them, they have taught me so much.  Also, the elders in our district are pretty fun.  I feel like we aren't keeping very good focus lately and the sisters made everyone go around and talk about boyfriends and girlfriends and how many people they've kissed, etc. and I was like, "Wow...seriously?  I'm really the only one that followed the prophet?"  Haha no I'm just kidding about that, but I think it is something that makes us lose focus because then we aren't doing our work...because we are talking...about our significant others...but it's okay...It technically hasn't even been a week yet so hopefully we will be repremanded enough that it won't be a problem.  And we probably will be.

We have AMAZING teachers.  They are studs.  I feel like they have taught me so much and they told us we were going to be the perfect district so we have our teachers and the resource teachers constantly giving us help (or telling us the rules) which is good too.  I inadvertantly break a rule every day...It is amazing...But I will have six weeks to get it right so no problema;) 

Ok well I think I have to go soon...I told you the most exciting things.  Oh wait, no, did I tell you there is not enough fruit in this place?  Cause there isn't...at least it is better than BYU Creamery;)
