I cant believe it's already week 2!

So, I hope that you did get my letter that I sent last Monday. I enjoyed getting your letters during the week. I thought it was funny that they were addressed by Mom, except the ones that Dad sent.

This week has been pretty awesome! Christmas was really good. L. Tom Perry came and spoke to us in the morning, and Greg Olsen spoke at the evening fireside. Both were really good. My district is awesome! We try to do things together more often than the other districts do. As you know from my letter last week we are the only district in our branch, but we get two new districts next week (January 6). This email is gonna be pretty short, we only have 30 minutes to write our email, so I'll send you a letter too.

Mom is right, we can't listen to music in the MTC, but when we get to the field we can. They sell MoTab in the bookstore here too, so I'm gonna buy a couple more before I leave. They have the Hymns on CD too and I'm gonna get that. I bought myself some new scriptures on Saturday and had my name put on them. They were finished today and they're pretty sweet.

Natalie, you could wait until I get home to help you with your tech problems, but you should probably find a quicker solution.

Elder White has been doing much better, oh I dont think I told you that he threw up multiple times everyday for the first 9 days here. But he has now gone five whole days without throwing up!

The language is fantastic! It's coming to me really fast and I'm getting and understanding it. Everyone else seemed to notice that before I did because they come to me with questions. I try my best to help, but some times they ask about things we've barely covered and I don't really know about it.  A lot of the words are similar to Spanish, example, pamilya is family. Paborito is favorite. It's just an awesome language. Like in other languages names just stay the same, so Natalie is still just Natalie. The Tagalog that was at the end of my last letter was my testimony. Yeah, learned that on day two! But back then it was just memorized, now I understand why it is the way it is!

Whoa, the first couple of days seemed to take forever! I cant believe it's already week 2!  I'm doing laundry right now. It's really warm in the laundry room, and smells of detergent everywhere, it's nice though. I'm ready to get back to work! I like P-day, but I'm glad it only comes once a week. Since the temple is closed for the next week and a half for cleaning we just sit around during our temple time, I got a lot of reading done though. Well, I think that's all I've got for now, if I think of more I'll send a letter!
