hey family! How's it going? I'm doing laundry right now, and they have comuters in the laundry room. I am learning more spanish and we recently switched teachers. Our investigator, Guadalupe, agreed to be baptized. Later that same day, we found out that she was our other teacher. But still, I now know that I can communicate in spanish.
Life here in the MTC is actually pretty good. They have good food, my body has finally adjusted to Utah time, and I can play basketball almost everyday. In fact, last week I sunk the winning three point shot. But the coolest thing about the MTC is the spirit that is here. Everybody is here for the same reason, and they all work hard to keep up with that. Another cool thing about the MTC are the devotionals that we have every tuesday. Last tuesday we Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the twelve here to speak. He spoke the 9 basic points of doctrine of the church. Sunday we had Robert Swenson, director of missionary service speak to us. Also, we get to go to the temple once a week. the provo temple is cool, but not as cool as seattle.
It's still really weird being with a companion 24/7. Elder Linares is a fitness freak, and I'm, well, not. But he's cool. Another companionship in our district is Elder Crossley from Roy, Utah, and Elder Smith from Indiana. Elder Crossley is kind of like me, If I enjoyed running. Elder Smith reminds me of Jonah in a way. They are both really committed elders who work hard.
I really miss you all, and I can't until next week to hear from you all again. Oh, and what is the matter with you people? The draft was last week, and no one has told me what happened! Please keep me informed about what's going on in the real world. You can write me a letter everyday on DearElder.com. Please do. I Love you all and I can hardly wait another 716 days to see you again.
Someone in Provo Loves you,
Elder Hjelm
