I hope you all had a excellent conference weekend. It was weird but very enjoyable to see all 5 sessions of conference. I miss you all and cant wait to hear from you. The MTC experience at first is a little overwhelming but I'm happy to say that I have settled in quite nicely. My Companions name is Elder Sweet, from Lubbock Texas and yes, Sis. Hardy he knows your parents, or at least of your parents and I will be sure to look for you nephew here in a few weeks. I cant believe I've only been here two weeks, it definitely feels like at least a month. The days are long but were are so busy I lose track of time and a mojority of the time I forget what day it is. I guess I have lost myself in the work of the Lord. So one thing was the hardest to get use to is having a 'shadow' 24 hours a day. I dont want to say it like a bad thing but have a companion is one of the hardest things to get use to. Its nice because you always have someone to talk to but at the same time if your having a bad day, unfortunately, hes the one you take your frustration out on. Like this past week, I was having a bad day and I just let my companion have it. not on purpose but apparently he was having a bad day also so if you can imagine it was like a walrus fighting a hippo (i'm not saying i or my companion are fat, just that walri and hippos are very aggresive animals) It was not a good day. but since then we have overcome our differences and found that we both express ourselves through music. so wa have spent alot of time sitting at the pianos around the MTC. He's jealous of me becuase i listen and play by ear and i'm jealous of him because he can sight read like its no ones business. we also have joined the MTC choir. Unfortunately we were like 1-2 weeks late to join the MTC mens choir for conference but it would have been so awesome to been there. Regardless the spirit was so strong in conference. I love how at conference it seems that the apostles have written a talk specifically for you. It just strengthens my testimony that God loves us and knows us by name and knows waht we go through every day. Its still hard to imagine how much spanish i have learned in just these 2 weeks, I can honestly say i have probably learned more spanish in these 2 weeks then in 4 years in high school. though the 4 years have helped. So times running out so i guess this is my farewell for now. I love you all and keep you in my prayers. If any of you would like to write me I would suggest dearelder.com or good old snail mail. My mission is the Monterrey Mexico East. I'm not sure exactly what is needed for dear elder but if you have any questions you can ask my mom. I ask for dear elders or snail mail only because i dont have a lot of time to read and then write emails, so if you write me then i can email you back or even write you back.
