Extra letter!

Since our P-Day was taken they're allowing us to hop on throughout the week, I've been able to get on this morning so I wanted to help you with some of the details dad, by the way, I miss you and mom a bunch. I'm not really homesick but looking at the Christmas card made me miss you all quite a bit! So, last night I did 430 push-ups. Not as many as I'd like, I don't think i'm going to get to the record in time but we'll see. I'm in building 5M and we usually have two teachers for every class period. Our classes run from 10:30 to 1:30 then 2:15 to 5:15. After that we have study time until 6:30 and then after dinner until 9. We have personal study in the mornings from 9:10:30. Let's just say we study all day hahaha. I get my exercise in the mornings when we have P.E. and when we get back from planning at 9:30 we change and then we work out until 10:15. We then write in our journals if we have time and then we have lights out at 10:30. It can be a pretty grueling schedule sometimes but you definitely put your shoulder to the wheel when it comes to gospel work. You can be selfish but you end up getting nothing done and it just hurts your progress even more so you end up learning pretty quickly how to let go of things haha. The food is good! Not the best i've ever had but when you eat up to 3 plates for every meal you start to gain the weight. I've gained 14 pounds now, luckily with all of this exercise it's muscle but some of the guys in our group are getting a bit softer than they were in the beginning XD. Elder Kunig and Elder Ostler work out with me every night and it's fun to see their progress. Elder Ostler couldn't do 30 pushups total before and now he's popping out over 300. Choir is great! I've sung in it every single time they've had it. Definitely one of my more favorite memories in the MTC. We don't have any flags in our room but we have German flags in the other rooms. We've been split into four rooms because we have like 17 teachers...it's pretty crazy. :P I loved the package and the hotwheels. Thanks for the great Christmas gifts!! I really appreciate and love them. I got a couple pictures with Stephanie so i'll have to send those when I have time to. I also have ran into Cody McEachren a bunch so it's been great! Elder Fiahlo is a great kid, definitely the hardest guy I've had to deal with in a long time but it's been getting better! Elder Kunig and I have planned some fun activities to do after the mission he's a pretty cool guy, super chill. And dad, he also plays the drums, thought you might like to know that. Danke for being understanding of the German haha we teach our lessons to our Untersuchers with ease now. Of course, they're speaking on our level which is extremely basic but we'll get there. I talked with an Elder from Frankfurt and he started talking to me in German and it was crazy! They speak so fast and I told him that I understood two words in the whole thing, he laughed, smiled, and then told me that that was more than most of the missionaries could do so that cheered me up a bit. He also told me that a lot of the missionaries would end up going out there and they'll just say I don't speak German for quite a while. I'm going to try my best to not be that way. This gospel is so amazing, I really have enjoyed my time here and I'm so excited to be leaving soon! The seventh of January! It's coming up quick!! Love you all so much!!

Tschuss!!
