This is the first day I've been able to write because Pdays are Tuesdays! Sorry for the delay. They have a timer set on this computer for 30 minutes to keep it short so I apologize if I'm brief. I'll try to handwrite something later.
I'm glad to hear everyone's doing alright! How's mom? Has she gotten out of bed yet? Kidding! The first three days here were crazy. Eleven hours of classes, 30 minute meals, and absolutely no down time. Luckily, things start to slow down and they give a lot of personal and companion study time as the days go on.
You were right about the laundry rooms, still the same set up. Although now there are computers in there. Luckily I found a computer lab where it's a little quieter.
Doctorinely I feel prepared. I feel like I'm just relearning the same things I already feel confident I could teach. Spanish is difficult but coming along just fine. Any study tips? I don't even know what I should be focusing on and the teachers haven't been much help yet. My companion, Elder Woodfield, is a good guy. I'm just so busy and I don't like getting only 8 hours of sleep. It's a hard knock life. I like wearing suits, though. Kanye West has a quote: "Everything is the perfect backdrop for a suit." -- I'm sure the MTC fits into everything but I'm not sure if he had a Guatemalan jungle in mind when he said that. I'm anxious to get out of here and go to Guatemala. Apparently when you're in the Guatemalan MTC you get to go on splits with Elders in the field every Saturday from 8AM to 8PM which should be a blast. And there are bball courts there. The gym here is under construction so I've been playing a lot of frisbee which is good but not at all what I'd like to be doing. I hope everyones doing well. I'm surviving. I'm sure it all be fine. When I complain I think of Ammon's brothers who were found in that prison naked and starving and still maintained some patience. That really is my biggest problem here. Keeping patience with those around me. Alma 17:11 is another one on patience. Those guys really had it going on.
Where are the packages my family is supposed to send me?! Get on DearElder.com and send me crap I don't need!! Kathryn Vidmar is the only one who has sent me any snacks!
Also, change the date of my departure on the MTC to Sep. 7th. I think I definitely got it wrong. Adjust as needed.
I miss home. I miss everyone. Until next Tuesday,
Michael
