I just remembered about you shining your dull, black shoes!! Have you ever shined them yet? Have you worn them yet?
Have not shined nor worn, hopefully I will shine them today. We have plenty of extra time because the temple we were planning to go to today is closed because of memorial day, kinda sad but thats ok.
do you carry your man-purse around the MTC?
Yes, mostly. We take it to our assigned "classroom" and we are there or around there most of the day so I dont carry it all that much. Not too bad to carry, I gave up feeling embarrased about anything a couple years ago so I'm fine.
how are you sleeping?
Pretty normal (read: takes about an hour to fall asleep) the first day it kinda took a while but since ive been pretty good.
How is your pillow?
lumpy and not that good, but it really doesnt bother me.
have you bought and used a journal?
yes I have! I've written in it every day but one, I'm trying to keep it up writing every night.
have you bought anything there at the MTC?
the journal and today I need to buy laundry detergent.
How do you like the food? What is the best thing you have eaten, and the worst?
first couple of days not so good, dont really remember exactly what it was. recently it has been pretty good though. and endless byu creamery chocolate milk so that is a serious plus (i drink it for every meal).
How do you like your teachers?
They are good, one is about 24 i would guess. He speaks in a very interesting way, it really makes me think of Joel Oesteen (spelling?) it makes me laugh. Also there is a sister, probably about 25. she is good too, she speaks in a very quiet way kinda like how a bunch of sister missionaries like to do.
Are you going over the PMG?
kind of going over random parts, not just running through in a specific order. Apparently it is a very good, helpful book
What great speakers have you heard?
we have devotional with great speakers on tuesdays and sundays, tuesdays tend to be the famous people like apostles and stuff, sundays less so. On wednesday the MTC president spoke and partway through the head chaplain of the US air-force who was touring campus that day (non member) came in and told us we were great for doing this, kinda cool.
How many times do you think you have sung "Called to Serve"?
only once or twice, we sang it a couple hours after I got there, and to start a class session once.
Have you been asked to pray in a meeting?
yes, I prayed for sacrament meeting yesterday and for class several times. by the way I get to chose who gets to pray because I am District leader.
how do you like your PE times? What activities have you done? I think some of our missionaries really liked 4 square...maybe Zak and Christopher...
I have only had 2 PE times so far. the first day I played basketball for a while, kinda lame no good games, then the second day I played 4 square a while. that is pretty fun because there are a lot of unathletic elders mixed with athletic ones, so you can dominate sometimes but still have a challenge. I am hoping we can get out to play soccer tomorrow.
Have you been to the Provo temple?
nope... memorial day.
have you seen messages written on the pavement there by the MTC? I have heard they do that. Don't look for messages from us, there will be none.
I have not
Have you seen Kevin your BYU-I roommate yet? Have you seen other people you know there?
yes I saw kevin once or twice, we have very different schedules so I'm glad I got to see him. Also I think I told you but that girl who is going to the same mission as me is in my district so that is pretty cool too.
How many people sleeping in your room? my guess is 4.
your guess is correct! the mtc is not very full right now, there is an empty room on either side of us and 2 extra beds in our room. all my roommates/district elders are great.
How was unpacking all your stuff?
I chose not to unpack all my stuff, just going out of my suitcase mostly.
Are you happy with all we packed, have you missed anything, or wished you had brought something you didn't?
nope, I've actually been pretty good with everything
If time, please tell anything that I forgot to ask!
not really time! I am doing super great! lots of people are super stressed and going crazy but I feel no anxieties (yes I am still working very hard though). I think thats part of the reason why i am DL, I'm glad I am though, It's literally my calling to help people, its great!
has there been any talk in the MTC about you getting ipads in Canada?
havnt heard anything. only 3 people in my district of 8 going to toronto though (me, my companion elder bennet, and aubrey my friend), the others are going to oregon.
have you taken any pictures?
yes, I will get them sent at some point, no time now!
QUINN: Next Monday is June 2nd, the date you are supposed to leave the MTC, I am guessing you will not write on that day. Do you have any information on that?
I do not really, I think i may be able to email on saturday though!
P.S. a Dodger's pitcher, Josh Beckett, threw a no-hitter today. First of his career, first in all of major league baseball this year.
AWESOME!
Love you all!
Quinn
