Photos From the MTC and a Letter

This week was good! On Tuesday we had an awesome devotional with Elder Aidukaitis of the 70! Not as awesome as M. Russell Ballard my first week here, but still pretty good! It's mostly just classes, and not alot other than that. I read Our Search For Happiness this week, it was good. There's really not much else, everything here is exactly the same as it was last monday. 
One of the districts in our Zone is leaving, our Zone Leaders are already gone! But one of the ZLs, Elder Killpack, and I really hit it off this week! It turns out that I know his cousin from a band, and he likes really good music! We also quote movie lines to each other after we found out that we like the same movies. I got him out in foursquare and he got mad and said he wanted me out (in a loving way), to which I replied "don't you put that evil on me!" and he knew it was from Ricky Bobby! So we've had a great time quoting movies to each other, and I'm sad to see him go! Lots of the Elders in the Zone are saying that they want to go to BYU after their missions, and as fun as it sounds, I don't want to do it. They're all really cool guys, it's just that I think that we all have this common goal of being on a mission, we're all unified, but after my mission we might not be. Last night, all the Elders in our zone sand "Hasta Ver" in the residency, it was really fun, we all shout and then for the last chorus they leaving district sings it by themselves, it was awesome and almost reminded me of a Spobo/ Teagsie show. Almost. I'm going to try to send pictures of it, we'll see how it works. If you guys can find my camera box, there should be a little white cord in the bag. Sometime before I leave, do you guys think that you could send it to me? I don't want to buy a USB card reader here. They're expensive. Also, my watch broke, but I guess that's what happens when you buy a $10 one from Walmart! I'll have to buy a watch here, they're like $30, but I need one and they look way sturdy. Thank Bry for me, because the money he gave me singlehandedly funded my addiction to Red Cream Soda that they have here. 
I'm almost halfway done! I should leave on April 3rd, which is three weeks from tomorrow. And yes, I'm counting. Even though my Spanish is awful, I'm excited to get out into the field. I'm really good at bearing my testimony in Spanish and that's about it. 
You guys should be proud of me! One of the elders in our district said a snide comment about Obama (even though I might not agree with him either, he wasn't coming from the same viewpoint of me) and instead of calling the Elder an idiot, which he most definitely deserved, I said "Let's not talk about politics. I don't want to hear what you believe and I don't want you to know what I believe. I love you all, and if you say stupid political things I won't have those feelings anymore."
That's about it for the week! Love you guys!
