Day 10

FAMILIA,



Today has been a great day! We had so little to do it was nice to not feel rushed like always! We started the day at 6:15 as always! We got showered and got ready for the day! We went to breakfast where I had biscuits and sausage gravy (which is probably my favorite breakfast item here!) We had language study after breakfast which gets more difficult everyday but I can handle it. After language I had gym which is always something to look forward to when you spend so much time in a classroom! I played basketball with some kids going to play for BYU after their mission. (they are good!) We got back to our room then took another shower to get ready for study again. (It's a tiring rotation; study, gym, study) In class we learned more about the meaning of us being missionaries and what we have to look forward to with out investigators (I forgot how to spell that word unless that is right) We studied as a district and we did our best to learn more on Spanish sentence structure (It's super difficult) We went to lunch after 2 hours in the classroom! We had chicken sandwiches which were so dry. (DQ should cater to the MTC, I wouldn't mind a blizzard on occasions either) we returned to class after we got mail (Thanks for telling me about the calling card, I think I might purchase 1 tomorrow or Monday) we did Spanish vocab which is all said in Spanish so it's hard understanding sometimes. We met our new teacher for 2 weeks, Brother Beck from Morgan, UT (he says there are Garfields who live in Morgan!) He gave us tips about speaking our mission language better and he took out whole district aside and got to know us. He was very interested about my testimonies on family. He enjoyed that I cared so much about you guys and said it's the best thing for both me and you guys that I'm doing this and that made me super proud. Anyways that was my day but I have some other things to talk about. Is it bad that I want to get to the D.R. so bad? I am enjoying my experience here but I've daydreamed about my next 2 years down there and it never ceases to put a smile on my face. (Maybe because I think of Mom and Dad when I think of the Islands) I love my experiences here and can't wait for what my mission has to offer. I love you guys so much and I miss you tons!
Love, Elder Tyson Garfield

P.S. No word about my Visa or flight plan here :( I want to get down there soon!
