So I mailed a letter the first day and i'm not sure if you guys got it yet but it was basically just a list of demands. sorry about that... anyways today is my 4th day. my first day was great, the curb was really not THAT bad, right after you all drove off, everything was fine. I went, dropped my stuff off and went straight to class. I have 2 companions, elder buxton and elder whitlock. both are cool guys and good companions. the second day the branch presidency interviewed everyone in the branch and then selected me to be the district leader. unfortunately they didnt tell me much other than that i'm in charge of the district and good luck. hopefully i dont screw up too bad because i'm trying my hardest to obey with exactness. I kinda feel like i have been in the mtc for more like 3 weeks now and i think its because i've been learning so much. I feel like soo much is happening that i can't even remember the last 3 days. we woke up early today so we could get laundry done and be the only ones here. today is p day but from now on it will be every friday. there is so much to talk about and my mind is kinda mushy right now. next time i'll bring my journal so i can remember better. oh yeah so anyways we taught our first "investigator" yesterday named aldaberto. we had the lesson all planned out and pretty much memorized but then he started talking back and everything fell apart. I asked him if it was ok if i prayed, and that helped a little bit and then for some reason, i was able to talk with him relatively well. my companions just kinda kept sitting there, mouths open, not knowing what to say so i had to keep jumping in to stop the incredibly awkward silence. I'm pretty sure i had help because there is no way i know that much spanish. it was weird, but yeah i basically did all the talking. I guess those 2 years of not paying attention in spanish class might have paid off a little bit. anyways so i think things are going well here. the days go by incredibly slow and we are always exhausted at the end of the day. my companions think i am popular or something because i have seen like 30 kids i know here haha i've seen kash vantassel, carson kuhn, zach meyers, sam lloyd, matt staples, taylor howard, connor martin, and lots of other kids. I was looking EVERYWHERE for craig and yesterday i finally found him! haha anyways not much time left but please send me the things i put on the list in my letter, especially a watch. anyways time is up gotta go! love you alllllll soo much! send me letters and tell peeps to write me so i dont look like a fool! k byeeeeee
