The MTC is crazy. It's so hard but very rewarding. Thank heavens you sent me a watch dad. That was greatly needed. Thanks! My companions name is Elder Bradley and he is from Brigham city he has a twin and they're real names are Caleb and Kevin. He says he thinks he's met Scott before and his dad probably works with Scott. its sweet. First few days I couldn't stay awake for the life of me. Every class and like getting to know you thing I was dying. Our district is awesome though. Pics below. 4 elders and 2 sisters are going to the Chicago west mission and 4 elders and 2 sisters are going to the nynyn mission. They are awesome! I love exercise time. They have spikeballllllll here and it's the best. It's way fun to play beach volleyball ball too. Yesterday we were playing and sister Hess nailed me in the face with one of her serves. I was in front of her and she was serving behind me and she hit me. Well next up elder Norton's turn to serve. He nails her way hard in the face and everyone is like karma twas funny. It's pretty hard to study because I'm always so tired but when I do study and stay awake it's awesome. We have only learned about and studied the first two chapters of PMG but I have learned so much! One of the most important things is that silence is not bad in a lesson with an investigator it helps them think and feel the spirit. I have seen big Er a bunch and also Nate. We have to wake up at 6:30 every morning and go to bed at 10:30. First we have breakfast at 720 and then we go to class have personal and companion sturdy then teach out two investigators for TRC. We have two investigators and one of them is awesome and really easy to work with. She is open about her feelings and she even made us cookies. She is pretty easy to love. Our other investigators name is Nathan. It is so frustrating to teach him. He argues or opposes everything we say and it's all scientific stuff and I never know what to say. Yesterday when we were teaching he got into cannibalistic societies somehow and finally I was like that's not what the lesson was about and good thing we don't live in a cannibalistic society. I was so mad after that lesson. I’m praying for charity though. The food here gives me gas all the time so I feel bad for my companion but hopefully I'll get used to it. Email me back with more questions cuz I get until six.
I Love and miss you all, Matt
