First Email from the MTC

Here is AJ's first email from the MTC. I must have asked him a hundred questions in the preceding week. He tried to answer many of them. :)

Hey everyone i finally get to email. I just want to say thanks to aunt courtney. i love the pictures that i got. they are on my cover of my folder. and thanks to aunt jenny i got you email. It snowed my first 3 days here and it was awesome to see. I saw josh my first day. he was my escort. and i have seen him almost everyday. there are 10 in my district. 5 districts in my zone except one just left so now its 4. 4 are going to spain, 3 to chile vina del mar and 3 to chile santiago west. 4 missionaries in my room. my luggage basrely fits under my bed and i have the bottom bunk. the food is just like high school cafeteria food and it upsets everyones stomach. but we eat as much as we want. we get gym time everyday except pday and sunday. my companion is from utah and he plays the piano really well. mom to park the car you pick the stick into gear to get it to stop moving. they gave me an english and spanish preach my gospel, spanish scriptures, spanish language learnign books, a water purifier, dictionary and a spanish hymn book. we dont speak all spanish yet but we do as much as we can for the first month and then we will switch to all. but our teachers teach in almost all spanish. im glad i finally got to tell you how it is here.

thanks for writing
