MTC, week 2

Hola mi familia!
Greetings from the MTC!

My departure date from the MTC is officially Feb 1. I leave at 4:30 pm and catch a flight to LAX and then a red eye to Guatemala, and get to Guatemala at about 5 am. :)
So... expect a box from me. I'm going to mail home my coat and other winter things, as well as my temple clothes (I can rent).

So now that I have that part done, My routine here at the MTC is getting more regular (just in time to go to a new MTC). We wake up, go to an early AM exercise class, come back and get in our pros (proselyting clothes) and go to the class to study for personal study. Then we go to breakfast and MWFS we go to the gymn, then shower and go back to class (some days we have Hermano Osuna, some days we have Hermano Pepper, and some days we do companion study), then idioma (language) study. Lunch is at 1230 and then class again, dinner is at 6, then class again. Then we plan for the next day and go to bed.
P-day is a lot different. We go to the am exercise class, go get a sack breakfast (b/c we don't have to be in pros) and go and eat it in the room, shower, study and then come and write you. Then we get to go to the temple, then lunch, then comp study, then laundry, then idioma, and then Tues devotional. Then district meeting, then plan and go to bed. :)
I'm learning a lot, though I am not learning as fast as I'd like to. My comps and I get along well. And we have a lot in common.
I'm enjoying this experience, and I'm starting to understand what I'm being told when the maestros talk in Spanish. I hope I get it even better by the end of the week so that I can understand what they say in Guatemala.

Love ya all, and I'll let you know as soon as I do how to reach me in Guatemala. My comps say that Dear Elder works in all the MTCs they think. So if nothing else that will work until I can let you know on my P-day.
My comp says she thinks we can call and tell you that we arrived safely so I may be calling next week(and maybe not maybe someone else will call you).

Love you all
Mem
