First Letter Home

My companion is great his name is elder walker from salt lake he knows every single person in the MTC so its kinda hard cause he never wants to be with me only his other friends but were getting better! my distract is sweet to i'm pretty sure it is one of the best! but maybe its just cause i am i'm in it! they made me distract leader so the whole time anyfree time i should have i'm in meetings and interviewing people so i decided that i'm going to be super rebellious this week so that i wont have to take the place of zone leader because are zone leader leaves to brazil on friday! I'm definitely going crazy in here though, i didn't even know it was possible to study for 10 hours a day and now i'm forced to, it's getting to my head!!! but i guess its good for me. so far i can say my prayers and bear my testimony in Portuguese but thats about it. I'm teaching a guy named mario i go in for my third lesson tomorrow im not really sure if he knows what i'm saying but i hope he can just feel the spirit! it pretty crazy definitely not what i was expecting, but...i like it and i hope soon i love it! the other elders in my zone that are leaving to brazil have been here 9 weeks and they can almost speak the language perfect so i'm hoping that will be me but i'm not holding my breath! oh by the way i got some bad news...........for you.... not really anyone else... i cant call home on mothers day i guess the 1600 other missionaries need to use the phone and since we just saw you we were the first ones off the list! you win some you lose some. P day in the MTC is not really a p day cause you have to get ready for the rest of the week do laundry and temple then learn what i'm going to teach mario tomorrow so its not much of a day off but i get a few seconds. well i got to get going but have fun in the real world i love and miss you!!! love Elder steel
