Hola Familia,

Loving the MTC so far, its a blast! My district is pretty chill and they are about as goofy as me, we have a thing where everyday we try wearing weird ties in our zone, so our district is floral ties.

Language is fun although its very difficult to learn. Still struggling on conjugations.

Funny story: For two days straight, i had no clue that i was accidently using Sunscreen instead of my head and shoulders shampoo!, i have no idea why i did not notice the smell of sunscreen.

Anyways, MTC is great. Eveyone is insanely awkward as normal missionaries are. Everyone wants my nametag so they can wear it for costume partys. Me and my companion Elder Peterson are essentally the cool kids of the MTC. we get constantly stopped about my name, and we chain jokes arround it.

Language is going well!, learning slow but its better than nothing, struggling on conjugations. Packages are recieved. letters read. Nice to see everyone is doing well back at home.  Any updates on world news and stuff, everyone in the MTC has no idea about whats goin on in the world. we have to use the new arrives that come in on wednesday to get the news.

I heard about paris. AGAIN? 

i heard about grandpa out of raidation. hopefully he is 100% Cancer free, waiting on the result in a month. when they scan again.

District guys are dope. everyone is weird in their own way. So the sport of the MTC Is 4 square, its extremely competitive. Got 5.5 weeks for training on it. District has an obsession for floral ties, so the funnier floral ties/ cool ones, the better!

Elder Benar spoke at Sunday devo. He gave an insane Q&A and i never knew how funny he is, you cant even record the talks that the prophets give in the mtc cause they are filled with jokes that can be taken the wrong way.

Bedar gave a lot of insight, about the love of christ, and how prioritise others before yourself.

We also had a devo from one of the 70. talked about how to be a better missionary. Words to live by, (let the spirit go through you, not you go through the spirit)

District is called, GOALS. we are essentailly the only 4 districts in the entire MTC That likes eachothers company, we are esentailly The Squad.

Everyone is funny and all pop jokes all the time, and all are extremely spiritual as well.

We are all extremely competitive at 4 square as well.

We did initatorys today since we are low on time in the morning. it was fun re experencing the first time in a way.

My district is:

Elder Peterson: Layton

Elder Morris, Saint George,

Elder Calderwood: Morgan UT.

Elder Hardwood: Kansas City

Elder Smith: Arizona

Elder Turner: Bear Lake

Elder Erikson; Texas

Hermana Curtis: Lone peak 

Hermana Bronson: No clue

Hermana Peres: Cape Verde

Hermana  Dean: Springville

we are going to do sealings next week, but we can only be sealed as a child.You can't be sealed to a sister. Inappropriate. So every guy is so desperate, the handshake rule for elders with hermanas is 4 seconds, but we savor all those seconds, 

We try doing as many pushups as we can a night, and the zone does a thing called 8 min abs a night

Essentailly I'm getting ripped.  I get fireman carried by the guy who we call the creator, cause he invented the workout, every night to do it. my abs are now more defined.

Craptastic fact: Theres a whale that makes its sound at a higher freequency than other whales, so no other whale can hear it, its named the lonelyest whale

I love you and will talk to you soon,

Love,

 Elder Batman

P.S. I get to host the new missionaries this wednesday, so i get to technicaly relive the first day again, so fun!
