Helllooooo Momma and family!! P-Day again, this week has flippin flown by! Flippin...... yeah im a missionary officially now. Anyways, this week was good. I had a cool experience tuesday. My mailbox had a note that was hand written to go to the main building to meet a Richard Heaton. So i was a bit nervous, and headed on my way. When i got there i saw the plaque outside his door 'Richard Heaton Administrative Director MTC'. My heart was pounding i was trippin out, as we went in he had a huge smile and told me a big long story how he knew weber states track coach who told him that Ty Campbell had a son in the MTC and how he was dissapointed he hadn't gotten enough letters from his son haha. So the Administrative Director of the entire MTC passed the message to write dad. Funny thing is that i had already written a letter, just didnt get a chance to send it till today! So we spoke for a bit longer, and got to know each other, he asked our opinions on the curbside drop off and other MTC policies. Then told us he was giving the fireside which was last night. He spoke in the big conference center here in front of all 2,300 missionaries!! I was like "yeah i totally was talkin with that guy earlier this week, i'm just cool like that i guess" haha. His talk was AMAZING, he could be a general authority someday with that speaking power. Anyways, the Spanish is ehhhhhhhh....... good till we talk to native speakers and realize we dont know jack. Classes are getting more intense. Our schedual goes like so. Tuesday-Saturday: Wake up 6 30, Breakfast till 7 30, Class till 11 30, Lunch till 12 15, Class till 4 30, Dinner till 5 15, then more Class till 9, then planning and in bed showered by 10 30. It's quite demanding! After 6 weeks i'll send you my daily planner in the mail. I could use some more white ankle socks, and a few more pairs of church socks. I hope all is well at home. I've had a shortage of letters the last 3 days whats up with that?!!? Don't worry i still love you all. I heard some bad news about Scott. Pray for him. It was sobering news when i found out. I sent individual letters to all the kids today so they should get them wednesday! Keep me updated on life. I'd really appreciate Mike and Tash's address, as well as Scott and Mel in your next dear elder! There are rumblings around the MTC that all the Argentine Elders are getting delayed! I hope it's not true when it comes time to leave. I love ya mom, keep up the good work. I took for granted being able to tell you how much i love you every day. Just know i do, i love you all very very much. Giving up my first name, and 2 years of my life is one thing, but the toughest has been giving up time with you all. I love ya, write me anything you wanna know. I'll be happy to answer back. I don't get dearelders on saturday or sunday. They print them off before dinner Mon-Fri, just a little fyi. Anyways i had a lot more to say but my brain is not functioning correctly, information overload. So write me! Onward ever onward as I get the oportunity to glory in his name! Forward pressing forward is the triumph song I sing!! Wooo, yeahhhh, all that :)
Hasta luego,
Elder Campbell
