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.
