LIfe at the MTC

Dear mom/family,
Yes I do love it here at the MTC, don't worry about that! haha ive made some way good friends here in my district and in my zone.

Oh yeah! I was gonna tell you that there was this huge mix up with subs and all that for our classes because our original teacher got married last Saturday. So our subs came, but instead of teaching us they came as progressing investigators and we had to teach them entirely in Spanish! So we went from Friday-Tuesday with absolutely no one to teach us at all! So we all ended up kind of teaching each other. Apparently we were doing something right though, because one of our investigators thought we had been here for 4 weeks our Spanish is so good. They were way impressed and said our district is the best district in the zone. We didn't have half the Spanish books we were supposed to have either, so we taught each other from memory. But now we have teachers, so were doing even better! All of us were close to like a mental breakdown after those first few days cuz there was so much pressure and stress put on us.
So everything here is completely scheduled out for us. We get up at 630, study at 7, breakfast at 740, study at 810, class time from 915 - 1215, lunch 1215, TALL from 1-2, gym 215, shower 305, language study 4-5, dinner 515, class time 6-9, daily planning session 9-930, 930-1030 get ready for bed/whatever, 1030 bedtime. Thats basically my schedule every day and gym time gets moved around sometimes, but thats basically it. NO time whatsoever to just chill. Its pretty tiring.
We pick up mail after lunch and after dinner every day, and yes i get your DearElders. My district hates me cuz im practically rollin in the mail every day haha
Sundays are freakin sick here! President Studdert, our branch president, taught the priesthood lesson and to put it simply, hes one of the 3 nephites. Look up Steven Studdert on Wikipedia and you'll see what i mean. Hes been like right hand man to 3 US presidents and is a political activist for religious rights. Coolest guy, EVER.

Ive seen everyone from Cedar and from home who are on missions here and I love it! It's so good to see everybody! haha Ive lost 3.5 lbs already so I'm not gonna get fat! I eat a salad for lunch every day and work my butt off in gym.
P-day is Friday, and we only get 30 min of computer time a week. LAME.
I got to go audition for a musical number the other day to play in one of the humongous devotionals or firesides, and I'm practically in! It was the President of the MTC's wife and another presidency's wife that we auditioned to and they loved that Army of Helaman song i played at my farewell! They just want me to fix some minor things and then come back next week and she'll put me down for a fireside! That would be so sick!!! And she put me down on the accompanist list, so i might have to accompany someone too. She says shes really picky about her accompanists and doesn't put very many people down on it, so that's cool too!

I can't think of anything else...So, I love you guys! Miss you, and hope to hear from you soon!

Love,

Elder Sirrine

P.S. I just remembered, send fotos!!! and maybe some tape to put them up with! :)
