Everything is going great out here. I got one of your cards on Thursday so it only took eight days to get here instead of fourteen or whatever they said. It was really nice to hear from you since I hadn't talked to you guys for so long I really appreciated it. Just make sure to write my name on stuff when you send it to me because the card just had the address and not my name so they weren't sure who to give it to.I'm not sure what the name of the street is but I think you can just type the address into google and it will show it to you. I only have ten days left till I leave the MTC so I will have a new companion then. The Temple was awesome. Do you remember how I was telling you that Amberly went to it and she said it was really small? It is tiny. In the creation room there was seats for twenty four people. So we had to go in two different groups because there wasn't room for all of us to fit in a once. We went to the distribution center and looked around and they had elephant, and ostrich skin scripture covers, and books of Mormon with zebra, crocodile, elephant , and ostrich covers. Do you want me to get you one? The market was kind of boring, it was kind of run down and trashy. I tried to get some money out of the ATM but it wouldn't let me so i don't know what is up because it worked for other people. I might have done it wrong but I don't know. They mostly serve us American food like pancakes and mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and stuff like that but then they have some local food that is really good. Yesterday a bunch of the members from around this area came to the MTC and we taught them, we didn't do very good but is nice because now we know what we need to work on. Today we are going on splits with some of the Joburg missionaries, I'm not sure what we are going to do but I'm excited to get out of the MTC and see some of the town. Tomorrow I have to give a talk in sacrament meeting but its kinda funny because it is on the atonement and before i left dad said to take my farewell talk with me because I would use it again and here it is two weeks later and I'm already using it. We don't get to go to the post office we just give all our letters to Sister Christensen and she takes them to the post office for us. I'll be looking for the cards and package you sent for me. Make sure Michael stays out of trouble. How is everything there? You should send me some pictures, it would be nice to see some of home.
