We love letters!!

"..So as for what I've been doing is lots of learning. The first day in here was pretty rough lots of going all over learning stuff, getting to know the place. Didnt really do much besides that the first day. The 2nd and 3rd day had about half the day was learning, other half was more getting settling stuff like immunizations, and meeting our branch president and our zone leaders. Thank goodness for our hour gym time though i really enjoy getting to work out i think i actually might have gained some muscle (Fingers crossed) If not, i've at least gotten toned again. So day 4 and 5 and 6 were about the same ya study alone then have class time for 3 hours then lunch, then zone teaching ( I'll explain what that is in a minute) then more class, then planning session and then night time we get to our rooms around 9:30, and get in bed around 10:15, and sleep at 10:30. The last hour of the day we just chill and read. Not sure why i can't write letters but thats the rule so i suppose ill follow it. I hope it changes in the field though. So zone teaching is when our zone gets together and practices teaching eachother the stuff we have learned. The last hour of every class period we teach an investigator but the investigator is just our teachers but the play the role of a nonmember that is either their friend or family. so it is extremely real and the spirit is so strong in the meetings we have with them. And the they have nonmembers and members that come to the mtc so we can teach them. We are teaching a man named Josh who has had a very tough life but he is the nicest guy ever. Himself and his wife are very friendly and very easy to spend time with. I really enjoy it in fact I might even love it. So today is Pday and we just chill most the day and do laundry till 2:30 then we go to the temple then to dinner then to class so i have about an hour left of hanging out before i go to the temple. Oh. and tell your mom i have only had one soda since i have been here and it was caffeine free and i eat salad and a fruit every meal and take my pills twice a day. Im following her rules....

P.s. I forgot to tell you about our tie exchange. So in class on Tuesdays our district decided to do a tie exchange so when we came to our room we got our ties then we decided to invite the whole floor so we had like thirty missionaries in our room with ties but they didnt really have any good ones but it was fun still. And i forgot to tell you my companion's name is Elder Robinson but i might of told you on that in my first letter but he has a twin brother in our district i get them confused sometimes but their cool.
