It's A Party

A Fun Note:  Nate's district was assigned host district for the week Aaron entered the MTC.  The Tholls saw him as they entered the MTC driveway where they had to let Aaron out.  When Nate saw them, he raced down the sidewalk so that he could be the greeting missionary for Aaron.  He was Aaron' s guide through the MTC.  It seems only fitting that the two of them should be together in the MTC since they have been best friends since birth.

Everything is good here, and it was great to see Aaron! I see him a good deal.  He doesn't live in my building though, he lives two buildings down. I've been checking up on him periodically.  I gave him the food you asked me to.  He enjoyed it.  As for the Spanish..., yes, I can pronunciate things with no problem. I actually think that's the easiest part.  What I can't do is congugate my verbs fast enough.  A lot of the time I just use the infinitive form of it and speak fast enough that I hope no one can tell the difference.   I can now teach all of the Preach my Gospel lessons completely in Spanish and I can understand the responses for the most part.  Not bad. :-)

I am loving it here at the MTC.  There are about 20 people from AF in here right now.  I wasn't friends with most of them but I'm seeing lots of familiar faces.  Also, I'm seeing a bunch of people from Logan here too! Its a party.  The cool thing here is that in the last 4 weeks we have had 3 apostles come speak to us in devotionals. First, we had Elder Holland.  A couple weeks later, Elder Ballard, then this last Tuesday, we got Elder Nelson.  Its way cool!  Tuesdays have become my favorite day.  That is our devotional night.  Jake Pentleton and I figured out how to tell when we get an apostle coming so we can go early for good seats too! They change up a few things here when a apostle is coming and we figured out what they are.  Jake and I were talking and we are going to get a specific spot picked out in the gym where He, Devin, Aaron and I are going to start meeting up.  Finally, we've basically got the system down here.

Thats about it for this week.  Thanks for all the boxes, I've gotten all of them.    That's about it.   I love you and wish you the best.  Could you maybe try and get Kelsy Stilson's contact info for me? She uses facebook a lot, I think.  Could you send her a message?  Braden hasn't written back with that info for me.  Thanks! I love you!  Have a good week.  I'll try and write again on Friday.  I leave the week of the 5 of October. It will probably be Monday or Tuesday of that week.
