Tyson's First Letter!

Hola mi familia!
Come estan? Ha well first things first. This week is a little messed up for us, so normally our P-day is on Friday. But we only get 30 minutes to read and answer emails, so it might be kind of hard for me to read all of yours... assuming you email me. ha so if you could have like some of you email me, and the rest send letters through dear elder that would be sweet! It is also nice to hear from you guys during the week.
Well my companion's name is Elder Decker and he is from Mesa, Arizone. We get along alright, but he is a lot like... type of kid, so we have our run ins every now and then. Luckily, I love my district. We have some super sweet kids, but definitely a large mix of personality types. I think this is good experience for everyone. In my room, are two other elders named Elder Gubler (THE GUBE) and Elder Drussel! They are so sweet!
Thank you guys so much for the packages. It is so sweet getting those! I have given up on "being a man!" ha I have a few requests... I need a laundry bag pretty soon. Also, I love the sweets, but I am not really sharing them as much as you probably thought or hoped! lol I might not need quite so many of those, but I definitely still want them once or twice a week for sure! I would really love some kind of low calorie snack to keep me company during class. Something like mints or just something to snack on... along with the desserts! ha I also could use a pillow case and my allergy pillow case at least for while I am here in the MTC and then I could send them back home before I leave. That is just a little input on my packages, but I love them... and you guys!
I also need a copy of my original vaccination report because mine had several problems. I am grateful you filled that all out for me, but it had some problems. According to that, I need to get about every shot in the book in the next week so I can go to Mexico. It also shows record of me taking shots on dates that the vaccines weren't even invented. I didn't think they did such a thourough inspection or else I wouldn't have just fudged the numbers! ha Also, don't forget to send me the blessings you guys remembered from when I got set apart. I have written down all I can remember. I also would love a copy of my priesthood line of authority. Lastly, if you could send me Tanner Dance's home address, along with the Bindrups, Andreasens, Gibsons, Miseners, Wings, and Bryans that would be sweet so I could write and thank them for their money.
Well life here is pretty busy. I wake up at 6 so I can do a few exercises in our room and get ready and to class by 7. I, along with the other 22,000-25,000 missionaries here, qualified for the MTC complimentary thermo therapy. It takes place every morning in the showers. It begins by braking down your mind and then your body. Your mind because no matter where you twist the nossle, you do not have any control over the temperature of the water. The shower head then spews out scolding hot lava followed by a ice cold chaser to reduce swelling. The cycle repeats until you are physically and mentally broken and decide that being clean isnt worth it. It is a great way to start each day! Then we have personal Book of Mormon study until breakfast at 7:30. Breakfast goes until 8 when we are back in class studying spanish and the gospel with Hermana Mettra until lunch at noon. We are back in class by 12:45 for continued class with Hermano Johansen. They are way sweet, but it makes for long days when you sit in the same 10x20 classroom for 10 hours a day! I am also fortunate enough to be a "one-suit elder." That title has carries the honor of wearing the same suit every day. since I have to always wear a suit coat, my other six pairs of slacks have no use. It's a hard knock life. ha but I really do love it. Everyday we get and hour of gym and that really helps break things up. Unfortunately I got kicked out of gym yesterday for attempting to dunk the basketball outside of regulation play. It was super gay! So I think I might run in an try to dunk again today as soon as we get in there and then just run back to the room. Ha stick it to them!
I also attemped to buy Mandarin books, but they really don't let you. sorry dad. I will keep trying, but dont get your hopes up. I also talked to an elder in my district and he said that Rosetta stone isn't very affective for learning spanish... it may have just been him, but I thought I would give you a heads up!
Well my time is about up. I love you guys so much! Keep the packages coming and send me some good pictures and everything!
Love,
Elder Jergensen
