Hey everyone! life is pretty good in the MTC, it's a lot busier than I thought it would be. We have 6 hours of class a day, at least 2 hours of personal study time and at least an hour of companion study time scheduled it. Elder Roley is the name of my companion, and we mesh really well. You can tell that the people that assign companionships are inspired. Everything is going really well, i've only put on a pound since I got here, I decided that I'm going to be careful of what I eat and how much I eat of it when I'm on the mission. besides, it's more better that way. So it's only been 5 days, and I have already taught 3 lessons, with more to come. we do a role play with our teachers, where they act like investigators they taught on their missions, and we go in and teach those investigators. Even with them it's amazing how the spirit takes over when you're teaching. You can feel a physical presence there with you when you teach, and the words are put into your mouth, it's so strong here,the spirit. I'm loving it here. I don't see shaun much during the day but we have rooms close to each other so we make it count after classes are done at 9:30. It's also really nice seeing Alec again, I almost didn't recognize him at first, you can tell that people grow up so much here. I look in the mirror and barely see the Sean from 5 days ago. My district is really tight, we've grown so close already. We have my companionship, a trio of elders and a trio of sisters. Sadly, one of the other elders didn't show up, and Anna's cousin is in a different zone. A zone is 3 districts together. I really enjoy everyone in the district though. From what we hear there is usually a companionship in every district that slacks off but I don't see that in ours. I'm very fond of the people I've met. So we did a tie exchange saturday for the district leaving today, to build comradery and such, but I felt so badly for some of the elders. their Ties were terrible. I've never seen so many ugly ties in my life. One elder, Elder White, had this tie that we called "rainbow trout" black base with burnt orange, swamp green, and urine yellow designs on it. It was horrible, and Elder Roley traded for it. My companion loves ugly ties, and I don't know what to do! At least that's the only concern I have about my companion though. Anyway, I'm running out of time, we only get 30 minutes on the computer for email. I should have come prepared with something to say, I'll do that next week. Love you all!
-Sean
