Hey Family!!! How is everyone?? I'm doing great! we had another awesome week! Thanks so much for the package you sent!! We check our mail everyday at lunch and at dinner, and I got it on Friday at around 6:05 and yes the drinks were still cold, but I haven't drank them yet. We put them on our air conditioner and they stay cold enough haha! Studying is great! We're learning so much and everyday we grow to care about our investigators more and more even though it's only a role-play with members it feels like it's real because they are portraying people they taught on their missions! It's such a great feeling when you are led by the spirit and you know exactly what to say to help out that Investigator! The gift of tongues is definitely part of the MTC. in just a month we can teach about almost anything in Spanish! In so crazy! I have already had a experience where I have been prompted to share a specific scripture with our Investigator Miguel, he was concerned about why his baptism as a baby was not with the authority of God and why it wasn't the right baptism. It's such an amazing feeling when we are led by the spirit in our lessons. Over the past week we heard from Elder Russell M. Nelson last Tuesday and Sunday one of the Heads of the Missionary department of the Church spoke to us. We have a general authority every Sunday and Tuesday and they usually speak with their wives. It's so awesome and we learn so much from them!!

   Mom, yes I have seen Eric L. here. I see him like everyday!! a few weeks ago I was in Gage's room at like 9:45 at night and then Elder L. walked in and he was like "Elder Hone...? do you know Tom..?" And I was like "Yeah!!! Eric?? and He was like YEAH!!! and we hugged and talked for awhile. He's so cool! Gage was like "What the..? How do these guys know each other..? I'll get a picture with Elder L. before I leave here and I'll mail it home. It was funny!! Um, to also answer some of Mom's Q's. Our District is great!! Everyone is really obedient, The Elder that had the problem with his girlfriend in our other district is much better, that all stopped. We have had to talk to a few other Missionaries about small problems with obedience but nothing serious. It's so great! I love our Zone and district!! We are interview by our district Leader, and we interview him, because we're in his district so we're his leader in the Zone and district, but he's our Leader in the District. If that makes sense. we interview and work with our Branch President every Sunday and Tuesday and have Leadership meetings with all the district leaders so that is usually pretty fun! They are great people!! We don't get a new district until May 9th. so we're kind of small right now with only 3 districts but I am always way excited to get some new Elders here!! A few other things.. No don't be worried about Elder M and R they were just messing around!! We just like to have fun!! Like our Slam Dunk Contest in M.H. Arena is always fun!! It's only Elder M. and I in our room so we have so much extra space since the room is for 4 Elders. We just are lucky and it's only us two. We go to the Temple ever P day. and we walk to the temple every Sunday to take pictures and stuff it's so nice to walk outside the MTC because sometimes we feel confined. On out Temple walk this past Sunday there were some protestors outside the MTC with crosses yelling rude things like people do at temple square. We just have to ignore them and walk by.. They really are on public property so there isn't much the MTC can do. Some people are so dumb. I hate the adversary.

   Um. My favorite thing here is definitely class with Hermano S. he's so awesome. We learn so fast it's crazy. Our district has already learned as much or more than the district in our zone who was here 3 weeks before us!! The food here is okay. Some days are good, like Navajo tacos are alright. The food is differently everyday, we have only seen the dinner main course be the same like once or twice. Breakfast is usually pretty much the same everyday but it's not bad it's like eating at a hotel breakfast everyday with a continental breakfast, pancakes, and eggs and bacon if you want it. plus endless cereal all the time. but everyone gets gas EVERYDAY it's the worst.. Laundry is actually kind of fun to do on p-day!!! (If mom just fainted help her back up..) We get up at 6 AM on Pday so we can have our laundry done by like 7:30 and we have almost all day to do stuff!! It's great!! The washers are dryers are free, (I think) but yeah I just swipe my MTC card to get soap every time, they have like a single use box of tide dispenser and it takes like 50 cents off your MTC ID card. We get $6.00 every Wednesday to use on whatever we want and my money usually keeps rolling over because I really only use it for laundry and water bottles from the vending machine. I don't have a mission debit card yet, I'll get it once I am in Argentina but I know I have one because I get emails about it. Yes I have been feeling good!! Allergies suck. I take my allergy stuff like every other day! But everything is good!! We ask the DL's if anyone is sick in our interviews with them and our Zone is pretty healthy! Um.. Yeah Dear Elder is a big rip off but people get packages from it all the time!!! So the business makes a lot of $!! I did get the pictures of the girls last week! Sorry I forgot to tell you! Brindlee looks happy mowing the lawn!!

   Tell Brindlee I'm gonna kick her butt about her grades!! and Tell Kynsie she better work hard!! Brindlee's play sounded awesome!! And I'm excited for Kynsie about her race!! That's cool about CL's job!! Shelbie told me about it!! I want to write Shelbie but I don't have tons of time on email today so have her send me a letter with some questions or something..

    Well, I don't think there is anything important we need this week!! Thanks so much for the package last Friday!! It made our whole day so much better!!! I always look forward to Fridays!!! Oh! can you send me a few more good ties of mine?? I thought 11 was enough but i want a few more. And I have a special favor. Try to find me a "Sock Tie" they are soo cool!!! They look like a wooven fabric, and the bottom is square with a stripe on it like a sock!! Hermano S. has one but he wont trade it to me!!! It's so cool!! I want one.. Oh and YES I'm so stoked for Justin. So cool!!!

   Well Family I miss you! I love you!! Tell everyone Hi and Tell Bishop Collings thanks!! I think of our Famlily, and My friends everyday and Today I was just thinking about Bishiop Collings a lot! I miss ya!! can you believe tomorrow marks 4 weeks!!!!! I feel like yesterday was April 4th!!
