Hey guys! 

First, IT'S SNOWING!!! :D :D :D second, i need my hoodie! haha i'm freezin! the weather has been pretty good actually till today when we were walkin back from the temple and it started snowin. 

Anyways, sorry i didn't get to call yall when i got to SL, i was really rushed to get on the shuttle but clearly i made it safe. My companions name is elder bowden, he's from florida and had a thhiiiiccckkkk accent haha so thats nice. He's pretty cool. We get along good. I'm learnin a lot. I'm the senior companion. 

Uumm, lets see. There's so much to say! The food here is aMAZING. I stuff myself every single meal haha i'm already gainin wait but we get an hour of gym every day so its not fat im putin on yet. I love it here. The way you teach the gospel is completely different then what i thought. I'm learning sssooooooo much. We get up at 6:30 every mornin, shower, pray and everything you know, go to breakfast then we go to class for pretty much the rest of the day ha not really, but thats what it seems like. We have class like 4 hours at a time, 3 times a day, but one of those blocks is MDT (missionary directive time) in which we have personal study, then comp studay then we can go teach people. 

We find random elders or sisters walkin on the sidewalk and teach them haha It's so fun. I talked everyone into doing what's called "soap box-ing" tomorrow  where you stand up on a bench or table in the "time square" and you preach the gospel :) I'ts so fun and so crazy. I'm rooming with 3 other guys elder bowden my comp, elder prucee and elder allan who is from scottland. They're all crazy.There's ten elders in our distric and we are by far the closest district in the mtc. It's really cool. I'll tell you about why in a letter though cause its kinda alot to type. AAHH i have so much to say! My testimony has grown more in the last few days then it ever has. I'm excited :) Anyways, im gonna go get lunch cause if i get off while i still have time left then if you respond, i can respond again later tonight. Love you guys. How is everything there? Miss you.
