First Official Update From the MTC

Hey everyone,

Today is the first day im writing from the MTC. I hope everyone is doing well. A few quick things I want to get over with right now.When you get the chance, let people know this new email address of mine. Go on my facebook or wherever and let them know they can send me emails to this address, but I can only write back to them in letters. I'm only allowed to write family on email, but thats it.Also, please tell people to send me letters and stuff. I really want to get stuff. Have you heard of www.dearelder.com? Its a really easy place to send me stuff. You can send me emails through the internet this way too. All you have to do is write my name down, say im in the Provo MTC, im going to the Texas McAllen mission, my date was August 5th, and my P.O. Box is #123. When you send them, the people print the paper off and give me that email on the SAME day you sent it. It's quite nice. Otherwise, my exact mailing address you're gonna have to ask mom for it. She has the paper. Also, im in the MTC till about October 7th. That is my departure date for texas so don't send any mail or anything to Provo around that time because I will not be getting them. Send them to the texas mission address. Remember, ask mom for this info, or gio. Or just check my notes section on Facebook.

Well, im on a limited time to write emails so here goes a quick summary. For the past week, its been going really well. A lot of stuff is happening here. I'm still getting used to the schedule which is really difficult because i'm always doing something. and waking up early and sleeping early are really hard because my body is still used to only getting 5 hours of sleep. I hope i can transition easily because its still not happening. Otherwise, im having fun and my companion is really cool. My roommates are also pretty cool, as well as the district im in. There's like about 10 of us.

Well, i gotta go. I have a lot of stuff to do today and my time is almost up. Remember, send me emails through dearelder.com because it is faster and i can just mail you letters that day and you'll get them before I am allowed to email on tuesday. also remember to send me emails before monday nights because I get on the computer around tuesday morning.

Also, MOM!!!! Please send me a watch. I can't remember where my old watch is. All i know is that its in one of the boxes in a small brown metal container. I would really like it because I lost my other watch. I don't know how so don't ask. Also, did i leave my byu shorts in the hotel? cuz i lost those too. And i forgot to deposit my check from Jack bingham. Thanks.

Love you all.
