How are you? I am well—time goes quickly at the MTC; it seems like yesterday that I was writing last.
However, I have been learning much. I went to the temple today, as it is my first real Preparation Day. Today Elder Gallecci and I have been shopping somewhat, studying, doing laundry, and (me at least) playing the piano a bit.
The week has been good—Elder Gallecci and I have had more opportunities to teach, and yesterday we taught a lesson mostly in Spanish. I have felt the Spirit this week testifying of the truthfulness of the work, and the reality of the priesthood authority in the church, and of Joseph Smith's calling as a prophet.
I would send pictures, but it's difficult at the MTC. However, I did receive the camera, and all of the items from eBay, so positive feedback should be left for those items.
I'm grateful to be at the MTC, and to be able to work, and learn more about the Lord through His Spirit. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and I am impressed that there are people prepared for me in Cordoba.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying the MTC gym period—my favourite game is called four-square (cautros cuadernos). It's a bit like volleyball and tennis. I've also finished one of my study journals yesterday, and Sister Beck spoke at our fireside on Tuesday. I've also enjoyed speaking French with some of the Elders going to... the Canada Montreal Mission, and elsewhere.
In response to your question, I'm not outside much, mostly just walking to classes and back. The Provo MTC mission boundaries only include the MTC and the temple, so we don't go outside of them. Also, would you please send me Grandpa and Grandma Larson, and Schlachter's postal addresses? I would like to send them letters.
I love you, and all of the family, and hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for writing to me,
Elder Schlachter
