Day 9

Okay im sending my card in the mail today, in fact as soon as i get done emailing you, it knocked 5 minutes off my thirty minutes so i will try and type fast, forgive me for typos. I just got back from the temple and doing work there, it was great! the spanish is finally starting to click and i feel like my companion and my roommates are my best friends and like they have been for months! Im working very hard each and every day and always inviting the spirit to help me get through any challenges

that i may face during the day. My teachers are amazing at what they do, not only teaching the language but inviting the spirit!! My days are very very very busy so it is really nice to have a P day and be able to clean write home and do laundry doesnt sound like a day off does it? i can tell you that i most definatly feels like one to me haha. I hope all is well at home, i can promise you that i am recieveing the prayers from all of you each and every day, its the thought of all the people that i left who looked up to me so much that keep the spirit and the energy flowing, sometimes just the thought of Adam gets me through the day, but now that i have been here and seen the NEW new missionaries come, i am almost entirely used to being here, i am becoming a man, learning to do things on my own. My companion is from Vegas if i didnt already tell you and he is our district leader so its nice to have him around to help me if i am in need, the devotionals on tuesdays and the firesides on sundays are one of my favorite things here at the MTC. Also gym is great, more and more people asking little ol Aaron to come play basketball with them, only to see something beyond their expectations of a small skinny kid like myself :) The days are going by so much faster you have no idea! today from 9 am to 1 pm felt like twenty minutes to me, i was amazed, but the thought of being able to go to the temple every week is sure a treat. I had a dream that zoey was licking my face and i woke up sad to find she was not there, i miss that dog, i miss all of you guys and all my awesome friends! The fact that i have gotten a letter almost every day really shows people care! Dont forget to send me a package! i think im the only one in the entire district who hasnt got a little piece of home sent to them! remember to pack the things that i requested, my scoring champ shorts, an electric shaver and some goodies please!! SURPRISE ME PLEASE!!! :) again i remind you i am sending home my memory card today in the mail so you should get it tomorrow or monday, it has photos from my temple walk and a missionary rap video! please upload and send back! Let me know how things are there as well!!!! Love you Dad, Love you Mom,

Love you Aubrey, Love you Austin, Love you Amber, Love you Adam, Love you Aric, LOVE YOU APRIL!!!
