Nobody emailed me! :'( I am also right now in a bike Area, Can you please send me my bike to the address I have given you before? The mission home address. It is cheaper to send out that bike then to buy another bike here that is good enough to work for me. Right now I am borrowing a bike but I cannot borrow it for to long.

I am in Virginia now. I dont know how I like it. A lot of times I just want to get on an airplane and go back home. Nobody answers the door and nobody is there for any appointments that we make. Its kind of frustrating. I miss the people I met at the MTC they are some pretty awesome people. I feel like that time at the MTC went by pretty dang fast. I am hoping that this time here does the same. There are some pretty cool people here although we dont really have an progressing investigators or anything. The people here all pretty much believe in Jesus Christ but they all think that if they have faith they are ok. So most people dont care what we have to say when we talk. Actually we havent talked to many people on the street, I think we need to do that more. The ghetto here is a lot of places we go. Its kinda sketchy. There are houses we have been in that I dont even want to sit down in because of how gross it is. Places in Ecuador we went I would rather sit in then these places. Its very different from Provo Utah! Anytime I think about being here for 2 years or think about anything else I just kind of want to leave. I thought it would be cool here but its not that great at the moment. Every day I have been getting better and better so hopefully It comes sooner then later that I start to really like this place. I dont think that there has been one person since I have been here that hasnt canceled on a planned meeting with us. Hopefully that gets better too. My companions name is Elder Orr from Logan, Utah he has only been out for 4 months so he still has stuff to learn too, but we get along pretty good. He knows what he is doing so that is a good thing. The mission president seems pretty great as well. Everyone seems to really like him over the old one. I will say something about one guy here. His name is James wesley, He had a stroke I guess like a year ago? sometime. He was paralized on his whole right side of his body. Since then it has slowly been coming back to him. He prays every day and loves watching the movies we gave him. He says he would want to be baptized but he needs a sign. I think he has already gotten his answer but I dont think its enough for him. He has amazing faith but he is just like everyone else here, they have faith but dont think there is one true church. Its hard to deal with.

Well I would have sent pictures in this email but I forgot my camera. I dont think I have taken any in Virginia anyway. I found out that I only take pictures when I am having fun. And since I havent had much fun in Virginia yet I have not taken any pictures. I will send some from the MTC, there are some good ones there. Well PLEASE dont forget to send my bike. I think you have to go find a box or something to put it in from a bike store? I would rather spend money shipping my bike then spending money on a new one. It would be easier if I could just call you guys :s Lame, I will be able to on christmas day though. My address for where I will live for at least the next 3 months is

If you could share that one with people on facebook and stuff too. :) Thanks. I love you and I miss You quite a lot.

I am at the MTC for 4 weeks instead of 3 because thats when transfers are in Virginia. I guess I can learn more in that extra week? I feel like any kind of practice teaching I do here will be pretty usless when I actually get to VA. So i suppose that the best thing to do is to gain knowledge of everything I can. Gym is the best part of the day. I play volleyball but most of the time nobody here is good at that game! I just want one good game of volleyball :) so sometimes I just go running. We have a few hours of personal study time a day that is pretty useful. Its hard to focus though because the study happens when the district is all together. Its hard to stay completely focused. This last week I had to stop two Elders from arguing. It was getting dumb. I stood up and politely said you guys are dumb, Elder Hardy stop trying to make Elder Rodriguez mad and Rodriguez stop being so defensive. They remind me of my little brothers! Its quite annoying. Well other then those two I feel that the rest of the district is quite close. Elder Brooks is from jamaica (he is black), him and I are closer then my companion and I. Mostly because I cant stand my companion Hardy sometimes.
 This last week we heard from two different apostles. Elder Christopherson and Elder Nelson. It was quite awesome! I haven't ever seen an apostle before. Sometimes I hate this place and then I love this place. These emotions change so much its frustrating. I cant wait to get out to VA even though I make a fool of myself the first little bit. Well I love you all! Thanks for the support. Write me. :) 

Thanksgiving was very weird. It didnt even feel like thanksgiving. We had a pretty easy day though. We ate "dinner" at 12:30 which was turkey sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes and stuffing. That was basically it. And then we did a service project and made 8,000 emergency kits. That was weird. Then Elder Christopherson I think came. I cant remember if it was him that day or Elder Nelson who came two days before.

Well basically our district is all the immature guys that I was scared of when coming into the MTC. They are all great when they focus and really study but some of them most of the time do not focus. Its so hard to get anything done during study time. There are a couple of great guys that I love hanging out with though. Elder Brooks is from Jamaica :) He is awesome, we get along soo well. He was our companion for a moment because his companion never showed up, but then they took him away from us and gave him to a different companionship. My companion, well he kind of goes along with the erst of the district. It is so difficult sometimes to teach with him, because we are unable to prepare as much as I would like. I tend to kind of take over the lessons. It is just easy for me to talk and kind of hard for him to. He is very smart and knows the docterine but he has a hard time making a lesson go smoothly. It's kinda hard for me to wake up early every single morning, but I am usually ok by the end of the morning. I tend to get very sleep in classes and study time. The food...is not that great, I do not eat as much as brendon probably did, but I dont think it matters! None of it is good for you. This whole not being able to be active every day or whenever I want is so dang hard. I liked it when I could go out and play racquetball or go out and do something whenever I wanted. Now I sit in the same classroom for 8 hours a day...or more? O well, I will only be here for a moment.

I think if anyone wants to know what is going on, someone from my family will update this thingy. It will be quite an adventure! Thanks for everyone who has helped me along the ways. I basically have the best friends and family ever! I will see you all in two years! And you all can send me letters and packages ;) I will love you forever.
