3 weeks down :)

Hey Fam and Friends,

It´s been another great week here in the mtc. I find it hard to know what to write about, because for me the last 20 days have all been almost exactly the same, and I forget what I´ve already written about. Make sure that you write me whatever questions you might have, because a lot of things are strange here, but for me they seem routine. The Brazilians that lived in my room moved away yesterday. They only stay three weeks because they don´t need to learn a language. I never was able to talk to them deeply, but we were good pals, and it was sad to see them go. I took a few pictures with them. Maybe when I´m out in the field I´ll be able to send them to you. The computers in the mtc are locked up really tight. The browser doesn´t have an address bar, and all the hot keys on the keyboard have been disabled, like tab and enter and delete. All the usb ports have also been disabled. It´s a little frustrating, but things will change once I´m in the field. I´ve really been enjoying the mtc. I have good companions, a good district, and a good branch. The other district in my branch leaves next week, so that means that my district will be in charge of the whole sacrament meeting, and we´ll get a new AP from our district. Things go so fast here. We set crazy goals to accomplish in a week, then miraculously by the end of the week we´re accomplishing them. We´re already teaching lessons in Portuguese. It´s rough, but a couple of the members of the district are really getting the hang of it. I cant wait until I´m fluent. I want it so bad. I can only imagine writing a letter to my Brazilian roommates once I actually know how to communicate with them. I´m so proud of all my friends who are giving farewells now and leaving. You´ll be great. I´ll see ya at your homecomings. I think Portuguese is adversely affecting my spelling. All of their spellings are phonetic, which makes me realize how screwed up English is. I want you all to know how much I love you. The church is true! I know that there is a battle raging on the earth between Satan and the truth. It´s my job to fight for truth, and I´m so thankful for my calling. I know that through the gospel we can all be happy. I liked what amber said about happiness being a choice. I know that when we are choosing the right, and that when we´re obedient we deserve to be happy. Don´t ever let anything keep you from being happy. Love, Elder Forsyth.
