Hello my loved ones! Ok the only thing i do on p day is laundry write letters go to the temple and e mail. And i have a question about the 12 days of christmas thing you gave me. Psalm 23:41? that doesn't exist. So i don't know whether to just open or what. But THank you for that. It was a Great idea! I have some sad news. the bonzai tree you gave me will not survive:( it needs to be refridgerated and then you have to give it warm water. I don't have the resources for it so sorry.Did you remeber to get my paycheck at toad's? and if you did, did you pay the tithing on it. if not can you do that for me?I just found out that i won't be able to call home for CHristmas but dont worry i will be able to call when i get to the airport so my call just gets a little delayed. And you don't really miss me yet anyway right? I've been out a whole month! Half done with the MTC and hopefully I go straight to Suriname. Ok dad wanted to know some details so here are some. THe schedule is different everyday. Class is at seven sometimes and that is rough. I have 2 main teachers named bro. bradley, the intense one, and bro. griffin. They're both awesome but bro. bradlely scares me sometimes. He's quitting this week and we get a new teacher. Sis Baxter. She seems really nice. I hope that was more detailed. If not ask specific questions so i can answer them.The teaching sim things still stress me out and i don't know why. I have to do this thing to help train the noobies tonight for it. usually they have teachers talk to actors and the noobs just watch them begin to teach the actors. they want to start having "experienced missionaries" to do it instead of teachers. so me and elder bastian are the guinea pigs. its kind of exciting but I'm a little nervous.I started learning some of the Sranan Tongo language this week. I only get like 2 lessons on it while i'm here. THe oly thing i know how to say is "Fawaka?" that means how's it walking? or how's it goin i think.Dad you said you liked it here. Can you give me some advice because i'm really want to like it here but I don't know how to like it here? Maybe it's just an attitude thing. It's just hard to not be really stressed out sometimes. I'm glad to be half way done with the MTC, but i want to be happy with my time here. I'm not saying I'm miserable but i'm hoping to get more joy out of this. Maybe that will come when i get to Suriname.I just want you to know how much i love you guys. I really appreciate you writing me so much. I love that you write me even when nothing big happened. I love you Jase. I love you Dad. I love you Mom.I can't wait to tell how much more i appreciate you when i have to cook and do every thing for myself.Random thought. Keep up on food storage. I didn't hear an apostle say that or anyting bur preparation is a good idea.Merry Christmas!
