I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was sick, mom. I will try to write to other people more, but I don't think I'm even supposed to write you as often as I do.

I got a 10 lbs bag of jerky!! It is great!!

I miss your cooking. I think you should get a cold shipper from the clinic and send me some food. Between getting sick and just sick of the food, I've lost 5 lbs. Thought you were supposed to gain weight in the MTC. Oh well.

It's been a little chilly up here in the morning, compared to St George, but I like it.

We taught the plan of salvation last night to another missionary. I think it went really well. The language is coming, but lately I've been spending a lot of time sleeping and not studying. But it'll come.

You asked about my zone, they are all people that are going to the Philippines Missions. We have the biggest zone in the MTC, almost big enough to have our own ward. We lost about 35 missionaries last Monday and Tuesday, but we will get 50 more in the next couple weeks. Crazy!

This week in the choir I'm trying out the tenor section. It's not working out so well for me, think I'll just stick with baritone. Ha Ha!

A kid broke his foot today playing indoor volleyball. He started crying because he thought they were going to send him home. It was so sad!! They just put him in a boot for the next 6 weeks. Yuck.

Keep me posted on life in St George!
