Hi Guys!

Thanks for the addresses and don't worry about amy's I got her's.

Well things are going pretty well here. I love the MTC and don't really want to leave. Its crazy to think that in about a week and a half I will be in the mission field! AHHH!!

Well this week we had our first "test". The MTC has fake volunteer investigators from the outside world to be our guinea pigs. It was fun and I think we taught him really well. But then again it was our first one so they were really nice. He asked a ton of questions that were really good and we had the answers to all of them. As far as general authorities nothing too exciting yet. Bro. Robbins(I believe that's right) from the Seventy. I sang in the choir and it was really powerful, the devotional was awesome!
Also working in the Referral Center has been really cool. I still get kind of flustered when I am on the phone with people because you get so many answering machines, when you finally get a person it is a shock and you kind of freak out. haha. But the chat thing has been really cool. Through mormon.org you can chat with us and the people I have had on there have really been curious and it is easier because you have time to think about what you want to say.

I have been trying to spend my time wisely during study time but it is still hard for me. The elders in my district are really cool and someone just asks a question and then we go off on tangents and then in an instant we are completely off task. So that is what I am going to work on next week.

Michael thanks for putting all my info up and stuff (did you email it to Britannia?) The only mail I have gotten is the DearElder from mom and one letter from Amy. I'm hoping once a few others get my stuff I will get more, but everyone else is getting a ton of mail and it kind of stinks to not get any. So if any of you guys every get bored...a DearElder would be nice (or Halloween Candy)!! haha

Mom I think I will definately need a backpack and eventually a good rain/winter coat. Do you think it would be easier for me to get a backpack here or send the other one? Its up to you. I still haven't gotten a chance to listen to any of the music cds. The MTC has a new policy as of a few weeks ago that NO music is allowed. I guess a few people were abusing it so I am anxious to bust out the cds!

Tell Scrappy I love him and don't be too mean to him. You have to bring him on a walk everyonce in a while for him to like you. just a tip :P

Well I love you guys and I miss ya, but this is what I am supposed to be doing. Hope to hear from you soon.
