Hola! from Elder Terry

Hola Spence and Kimmy!

Yeah life is going well at the MTC, the thing we say is the days feel like
weeks and the weeks feel like days. Have you ever felt like that?

This week feels like it has flown by! The thing is we do so much of the
same thing every day that it is hard to distinguish days. We learn a lot
everyday, but its just hard to seperate what happened when and all that.

Aprendo espanllol muy bueno. (I am learning spanish very well!) We spend a
lot of our day doing that, its crazy how if it were anything else we would
all be going crazy, but for some reason we have the ability to sit through
12 hours of class ever day.

So this week I have helped a few college students work on their research
papers. It is pretty cool. I had a lot of fun.

Ha ha ha, so I had a way awkard moment this week tho.

So all while we have been here there are a few elders that like to flirt
with the sister missionaries, which is strongly disadvised (it annoys the
sisters and it distracts from the real reason why we are here.) so during
priesthood meeting then two elders get up to share a thought from the White
Handbook (mission rules) and say today we are going to talk about flirting.

I just busted out laughing...hard core. I thought of all the times the
elders were flirtiing and how much we would tease them about it.

So it came out loud and there were probably three seconds of complete
silence. And I'm thinking...Oh no...what have I done...:)

Luckly everyone else laughed too. It was way funny but very awkward.

So my companion is something of a rebellious spirit and does not like
folowing rules. I am the senior companion and when I ask him to do
something or tell him we shouldn't do that he gets all aggressive about
that. So I made a plan! I challenge him to a game of rock paper scissors
every time he wants to break the rules.

The Lord hasn't let me lose once ;) funny huh?!

When you guys get a chance in your life you should send me letters on
Dearelder.com, its easier that way because we only get thirty min to be
online every week because of the vast amount of missionaries here and it is
hard to type letters and read the ones sent. Plus its fun to get letters
throughout the week!

I'm stoked to speak spanish with you guys when I come back!

Hope life is going well and will you please forward this to everyone in the
family?

Love ya a lot!

Elder Terry
