well i that is okay! well the MTC is going pretty good. the schedule has been pretty hectic but i think part of that is that we have all these orientations so it's made it extra hectic. They have all you can eat which is pretty good and they have all you can drink which is great to. i just drink Chocolate milk which is super great but if they had strawberry milk i would drink that. But chocolate milk sufficeth me. I hope you guys are all doing great. i love you all. the language is pretty fun. i have learned a ton. prolly what i should have learned within the 1st semester to 1st year of japanese in high school but i guess there's nothing i could have done. I enjoy the language. we have apartments basically or dorms or whatever you call them. there's 4 elders to a dorm. so 2 dorms for the elders and i'm guessing Sister missionaries are the same so prolly 1 dorm for them since there are 3 sister missionaries in our district. We all arrived the same day so it's really been great. My district is super awesome we all got close way fast. We are all friends and we are there for each other. I've already been a part of 2 comfort blessings so that's been pretty neat although i'm still always worried. but yeah my district is awesome.
I can only write on preparation days besides the letter i sent you on Sat. and the only reason i was allowed to send you a letter was because they said to send a "I'm alive" letter. basically saying "I'm alive" and i'm doing good. Preparation days are on Tuesdays for us and we have 30 minutes to write whenever we get on. and if we don't finish in the 30 minutes it kicks us off and than we can sign back in and we have 1 min to finish and send so i guess we have a 31 minute window. Shouldn't be to bad because i'm a relatively fast typer so i should be fine. I've typed all of this in 11 min. which is a little slow because i haven't typed forever but i will regain my 90 words per min. or so speed after some practice hopefully. but this is still pretty good and i'd still have time to read any letters i got and send prolly like 3 messages.
in my dorm there is Me of course than my doryo (companion) Cook Choro (Elder cook), than Endsley Choro, and Yanez Choro. we all have good senses of humor which is good because if they didn't i would not be able to survive because i have a sense of humor and it helps me not to stress when we learn a lot of the language when i can joke around here or there so it really helps. than the other dorm there is Cahoon Choro, Shiozawa Choro, Welch Choro, and Keith Choro. and they all have senses of humor too so it's super awesome and they're all funny and fun to be around. Than the Shimai (Sisters) are Lynch Shimai, Benne Shimai (Benny is how it is sounded) and Adams Shimai. They are pretty cool also and they joke around with us all the time also. Which is another reason why my district is soo awesome because not only have we gotten really close as a district and are there for each other but we can all joke around with each other and have fun so it's pretty cool.
Sorry it accidently sent my message which was really annoying so i have to send a second one. ahhhhh oh well. anyways so yeah i really enjoy the MTC it is pretty great. and we have 30 min. of gym time every day but preparation day (pday) and sundays of course. for gym we can play basketball or volleyball inside or if we go outside we can play sandvolleyball, soccer or horseshoes. oh and than also there's running the track and 4 square. so it's pretty cool i would really like it if they had tennis here but i guess i will be okay without it. i can still play sand volleyball and soccer. as a district we do gym time with all of us including the shimai on wednesdays and fridays unless we decide later to do more or less. and so we play sand volleyball which is fun. on the other days most of the choro play soccer. which is a super fun sport i've always loved. although i do love all sports. yesterday i was playing soccer and an opponent passed the ball to teammate i went to cover him teammate missed the ball and ball zoomed and hit where it counts. didn't feel very good but i kept defending until we got the ball away from our goal and than i allowed myself to bend over in agony. but i did not let my team down which is what counts so no pain no gain right? anyways i have 3 minutes. left which prolly won't happen next time i write it's just i have to tell you the basics this time but i guess i'll find out next time. my computer keeps freezing also so i should have another minute and a half but it was lost to me. oh well.
I hope you guys are doing great. Tell everyone i love them and miss them. Stay Strong and remember to give the bishop my scripture which was D and C section 31 verses 3-7. Be strong i love you all. I'll always think about you guys.
Love your super handsome son
