Letter Number 2.

HIII. Okay so as far as things in the mtc go, we are literaly in class alllll day. So we learn italian pretty much all day. So we study around 6am to 8 ish, and then we eat breakfast, then we go to class for a few hours. in class we speak only italian. Then we break for lunch. Then we usually teach a lesson in italian to an "investigator" which is really one of the teachers. We speak to them in 100% italian. If we talk to them in english, they pretend to not understand us. After that we break for dinner. On tuesdays and sunday evenings we have someone from the bigleagues in the church talk to us about missionary stuff in some form of devotional. During the day at some point between 6am and 9pm we get an hour or so for working out. Our free time is filled with personal study, which includes planning for the next day, reading scriputres, or language study. Wednesdays are my only day off, and its called p day or preparation day. On Pdays we wake up at 6 am and clean a building, then we get a sack breakfast, and then we went to the temple. Around nowish, we get to read emails and write letters! So im going to be spending my time from now until 345 doing that stuff. At 345 im getting a haircut, then at 4 we start laundry. Im gunna do laundry and continue to write letters. and at 6 we eat dinner, after that its business as usual just studying and the like. We now have two investigators, Dominico and Sandra. Dominico is a high school drama teacher, and Sandra is a girl from peru! Teaching them has been a humbling experience. We work very hard and try to get as much done as we possibly can throughout the day. My district is great! Ill give you a short bio of each of them!

Anziano Luening - My companion. 19 yr old from canada! Pretty nice guy, has been in the mtc for 8 weeks, hard worker, and has a good grasp of the language. We get along pretty well most of the time!
Anziano Delgado - Very funny guy from Mesa, Arizona, our sense of humor is pretty similar, he loves key and peele, so we often quote them and nacho libre during the day. It makes the work go by faster
Anziano Espinosa - from redbluff california, thinks he isnt very good at italian, but i think he is. likes to joke around and was the first to get hit with the flu that swept through the mtc this week. Companions with Delgado
Anziano Alder- Cheerleader at Utah state, Quite the ladies man back home, Very hard worker, probably one of the hardest workers in the district. I know he is here for the right reasons, also very funny! Very talented elder
Anziano Young - Half chinese from sandy utah! SOOOOOO FUNNY, companions with anziano Alder. We call him the dictionary, because he knows a bunch of random words. He and alder get along very well and play off of eachother nicely
Anziano Lindley - Talented High school athelete from Idaho! VERY VERY smart, and good at grasping the language, a gentle soul, one filled with charity. I enjoy working with him.
Anziano Chamberlain - Musician from Sandy utah, knew anziano young pre mission, companions with Lindley. We call him webster, as he is grasping the language very quickly. Reminds me a bit of Micael Barrow!

Very sweet girl, in tune with the spirit, she is kind of the mother of our whole group, and helps us stay together well! She is full of compassion.
