Week 1

Hello there!  I'm doing great, my companion is Elder Carlson, he's really talkitive, from Spanish Fork, and really nice.  We have a really good district, 8 of us are in it but only me and two others are going to Nashville, the rest are going to Toronto Canda, and most of those are even from canada.  They're all really cool and pretty funny.  The other elder going to nashville (aside from me and my companion) Is Elder Cragun, from Kaysville, He might be my favorite just because we get along so well and have alot in common.  For instance, he think's i'm really funny, and i think i'm really funny...     Ha.  
then we have our teachers for our district, which i'm convinced are the absolute Best teachers in the MTC right now!  our main two teachers are Brother Nate And Brother Pickett.  Brother Nate is the Best teacher we could ever have, He's Super spiritual and knows a lot about everything in the gospel, and he's also really funny at the same time, and the best part about him is that his first name is Casey!!! YAY FOR CASEY'S!   Then we have Bro. Pickett who served in jason's mission and knows him and Elder Pryor, we're going to swap elder Pryor stories soon.  He's also an AWESOME teacher (as they all are, but he's my second favorite) And he's not quite as intimidating as Bro. Nate.  Then we have their assistant teachers,  Bro. Smart, Bro. Hanks and occasionally Sister Nelson and Brother Johnson.  all awesome in their own rights.
The food is pretty good most of the time, and i Do like the coco moo...   
Anyways i've learned SO MUCH from the week i've been here already,  they had us teach a mock investigator the second day we were here, and pretty much everyday since then (Except sunday) and they even have the newer missionaries be a mock investigator for 5 lessons with other's in our zone... So that was different, but good still. 
I saw Elder McKnight a couple times before he left, so that was nice.    I've only seen Cameron like 2 or 3 times though.  
Today we went to the temple which just opened up again, so that was great.   And if you hadn't noticed Wednesdays are my P-Days, at least in the MTC.
I'll send some pictures next week.    
 
Anyways i'm out of time.    
Love you guys,
Elder Martin
