HEY. Man this is crazy. I don't really know where to start,
I've been feeling so many different emotions. I'm tired a lot of the time. I
need a nap. I have been homesick a ton but usually it just happens at night. When
I'm learning about the gospel and trying to study I don't get homesick. I
actually really like learning about the gospel and it is so cool how we teach
the "investigators." My companion is nice. We don't have a ton in
common but he is a nice dude. My roomates are alright, but my district is soo
sick. There are 6 of us going to Baltimore and 6 of them going to OKC. All the
people going to OKC are sooo sick and I love them! I room with the Baltimore
guys so that kind of stinks but they are alright. I saw Elder Mease, Brown,
Grange, and some others while I've been here. It feels like I've been here for
2 years already. I can't even remember when I got dropped off. I miss home a
lot but when I am involved in the gospel and learning about stuff it helps me to
forget about home and remember why I'm here. I have had so many cool
experiences here so far, it's crazy how much I've learned and want to learn.
I'll just run down one of my typical days that we have. First though, the first
couple days SUCKED. The first day every missionary would say "Welcome to
the MTC" and it was sooooo annoying, I wanted to punch them plus we had so
many meetings and stuff and I just wanted to be home. But Friday and Saturday
were sick for sure. So we wake up at 6:30 and get ready then eat breakfast.
Then we can plan our day and go to our classroom for class where our teacher
teaches us. We are there from 8:30-11:30 and then Lunch is right after. After
lunch we have exercise time for an hour and then free time for personal study
and companion study and whatever else we want to do with the gospel. Yesterday
we had our first TRC which is where we teach someone for like 30 minutes, and
we treat them as real investigators. They say some of them actually aren't LDS.
But during our free time we prepare for that and stuff. Then we have dinner at
5:30 and then class time again from 6:30-9. Then we go back to our room, write
in our journal and look at all my letters, over and over again. hahaha it a
good time though overall, I actually like being here sometimes so that's good.
Thank you for everyone who wrote me letters and dear elders, I love dear
elders! I love and miss you all!!!!!!

He sounded pretty homesick so I asked how he was really doing:
I really am actually doing good. I really honestly like it here most of the time! Best decision I have ever made for sure mom! I only get homesick at night and it sucks but then during the day I'm great!!!
Here are some pictures he sent:
