#6 MTC

Hey family,

It’s great to hear from you all again. It sounds like all is well, and that you are all having fun. That is cool that Dad gets to work with the dance festival thing. Hopefully Bailey and Owen have fun. I remember the dance festival thing I had to go to. It wasn’t very fun. Anyways that’s cool though that the Prophet will be there. We still haven’t heard from an Apostle at the devotionals here. We keep hoping that there will be one, but none yet.

Last week we watched a Brigham City Temple dedication. It was cool, and I have never been to one before. This morning we went to the temple, and I did some temple work for a guy named "Robert Philips". Isn't that what Bishop Philips name is? Anyways the temple was cool. My comp fell asleep at least 15 times, and I had to keep elbowing him to get him to wake up. Then like 30 seconds later he would be dosing off again. Funny stuff.

Next weekend is going to be General Conference, which I hear is really fun on the mission. We were hoping that by being in the choir we would be able to go to General Conference, but sadly I don’t think that the MTC choir is singing this time. They sung in April, and I think that it is just a once per year deal. Anyways its fun being in the choir. 99% of the people in the choir have no idea what the conductor means when he says "sing a C", so it’s funny. During conference I think that we just go to the gym and sit in the bleachers and watch the thing on some big TVs. I don’t know for sure though.

All is well here. We leave in like 3 weeks or something, and this week we become the oldest district in our zone. Some guys in our district became the Zone Leaders, and I became the District Leader a couple days ago. It’s pretty cool.

I think that I’m getting better at Spanish. I was looking at the grammar book, and I’m pretty sure that I know all of the conjugations. There is something like 8 tenses and 13 different types of conjugations, and I think I know most of them. It’s a little tricky though. There is one called the subjunctive, and past subjunctive, which are pretty confusing. Aside from those, I think that the Spanish is pretty easy. All you really need to know are the conjugations, verbs, and words. It is funny seeing the new districts come in, and not know any Spanish. I was in their shoes 5 weeks ago. It’s funny seeing people that I know here.

Nothing much this week has happened that is super exciting. We just do the same old stuff: sit in class, teach mock investigators, study, and that’s about it.

So I got an email from Elder Rodgers this week, and we was still asking about that picture dictionary. I think that he might want it, but I don’t know for sure. It’s good to hear that those scripture covers arrived at the house.

Well, to answer Henry's question: No sorry, there are no more bananas. Lo Siento. The banana-ing has come to an end. Now we have squirt-guns. A kiwi would be good though. I’m glad to hear that Henry is still keeping up the good work, and looking at buying pocketknives and airsoft guns. Also that is cool that Owen got his permit. Make sure that he doesn’t wreck the car like Bailey did. Chiste! But seriously, don’t wreck the car.

Anyways I think that is about all for this week. I forgot to take any pictures this week, so lo siento. Well, it’s fun hearing from everyone. I love you all and miss you.
