Brett:s First Letter

Hey Everybody! I spent most of my 30 minutes of email time today just trying to set up this account. So, I'll be brief. First of all, you should know I am only allowed to write and email letters on my preparation day, which is Tuesday. So, if you don't get a response from me right away that's why. Anyway, the MTC is okay.The days are long. Most of the time I'm in a classroom or studying on my own somewhere. I leave my room at 7 am and return at 9:30 pm. It's gotten better as the week has gone on though. My companion is Elder Samuelson from Sandy, UT but his mom is from Lima Peru. Im really glad I got paired up with him because he is the only other one who speaks spanish in my district. They put me in the Intermediate Spanish district which means Im gonna have to be here for 9 weeks, but my companion leaves in 3 weeks to Lima, Peru to the MTC in Peru. So, I am not sure what they're planning on doing with me once he leaves. My other two roomates might be my companions. All of our roomates and I (there are 4 of us in a room) get along really well. We're always laughing and having fun together. My whole district gets along well actually. There is a Spirit of love and unity here at the MTC. Having a ompanion 24/7 is hard. I would like some alone time. I gave my companion a blessing last night because he was feeing really sick. Fortunately, he's getting better very fast. Enough about me. What's everybody been up to lately? My old BYU roomate who works at MTC told me BYU beat Florida in overtime. YA!
