Hello all. Things at the MTC have been pretty good so far. The first day
was super long and hard but I made it through. The MTC has been quite
an experience. When I started I was in a companionship of three but not
long into the day we got an extra person whose had their name misspelled
on their visa so they could not go to the Mexico MTC. My companion is super
cool and he is really nice. His name is Elder Craig. The other 2 elders
in my room are awesome as well. Just the other day we tried to see how
much of Nacho Libre we could quote......needless to say it was almost
the whole movie. Spanish has been pretty hard and it doesn't help when
they expect you to teach your first lesson only 3 days in. Luckily
enough I have a really good teacher. She is only 22, which means she is
younger than one of her students, but she went to the Argentina MTC and
she went to Uruguay. Which she said was almost exactly like Argentina.
In my District which has 10 people who all go to the same class there
are 5 going to Salta Argentina with me. Also in my class there was
another Elder Black and it confused the teacher a lot. But the other
Elder Black spoke German as his second language so he starts switching
from Spanish in the middle of his sentences. The MTC keeps people really
busy. Which is good and bad. It seems like I have been here both forever
and not very long at the same time. The food here has been so so but at
least I am not going hungry and today I got 2 maple bars and a
chocolate milk for breakfast. Once again everyone ask how I can eat so
much junk and still be so skinny. Sorry for the short letter but I am
limited on time. Also sorry for anyone I missed if you can think of their email address I can send it too them as well.
Miss and love you guys all lots,
Elder Black
