First Email from MTC

Hola, mi familia y hombres! Me llamo Elder Hale y se en el MTC! If I could, I would contine en espanol, I would! Mom. Dad. I thought I relied on the spirit, I thought I had enough spirit, but in both fields, I have comparatively nothing compared to what I need and can have. The MTC is hard. Oh my goodness, it is hard. Sure the food is good, even though I gained like 5 lbs already (no joke), and class is very educational, but DANG! It seems like the MTC is shoving all this information down my throat (in a good way)! Just to let you know, we have 30 minute timers her on emails, so I am sorry if this email might be short. It took like 7 min. to get my email set up so that I can write. The initial registration password for the email was humble. =.= amen.
So, first day was dizzying, the second day was confusing, the third day was depressing and today is amazing. Right after they whisked me away, I went to my room, literally dropped my stuff off, and then was whisked away to my classroom with several other elders already there. We then had an orientation video and then we met our teachers. Hermano Rackham, a 5'6" Idahoan (I think) is in his mid-20's and served in the San Francisco (Saint Francis for those that don't sprechen sie Espanola -.^) Spanish speaking. Then Hermana Whitlock, a 5'7" Californian in her early 20's. I can't remember where she served though. My companion is Elder Montierth from North Ogden. I'll send a picture as soon as I can figure out how to do so. There are also Elders Graham and Matthews (for Matthews, imagine a mix between Venkman from Ghostbusters and Napoleon Dynamite with a touch of Dwight), Elders Hayden and Grover (Grover looks almost EXACTLY like Toby from The Office. Just imagine Toby with dark brown hair and about 10 less years!) Elders Jenkins and Nasio (Jenkins has no knowledge of or relation to Leroy, Danny. And Nasio was born in Hawaii, but grew up in Provo.) Lastly Elders Christiansen and Kimball, but they left our district yesterday cuz they know spanish.
Crud, 4 minutes left. I love you all and miss you (for my friends, well...different kind of love). Yo testifico que Jesucristo vive, y que el evangelio es veradado. Yo testifico que La Iglesia de Jesucristo de Los Santos de Los Ultimos Dias es verdado. I love you guys. Please pray for me. Mom, Scott sent me a letter (the first one of anyone of you guys, geez!) and he gave me is email. it is thepwnz@me.com. Please add it! Gotta go. bye
