Hello family,

I'm sorry the letter was so short, i forgot my password so I ran out of email time. So I need like addresses of families and friends and stuff if you could in your next letter. Thank you for the shoes, I'm going to wear them tonight, they look awesome.

Elder Hinckley came and spoke to us in one of the firesides and it was weird because he has so many mannerisms like his dad. He spoke about doing things on your mission and being able to look back and say, "I'm glad I did....." instead of, "I wish i would have......" It was great. I'm taking my Adderall when I remember, which is most of the time.

We finally got our permanent teacher last week. Her name before she was married was Hermana Hunt, and now it's Hermana Hunter after she got married. She's great but it's weird because she reminds me exactly of Calee Naylor, her voice her little sayings.....it's way weird. My Spanish has improved a ton and me and Elder Robertson made a goal to teach the first lesson 13 times in Spanish in a week. That has helped alot.

So I sent the birthday letters to Meg and Jojo on the 25th. I didn’t realize it took the post office to get the mail from Provo to Salt Lake in 4 days. I miss you all. The O'henry bars are delicious as usual. In the next package if you could throw my Donald Duck shirt in there and more pictures of my opening my call that would be great. Don't feel like you’re in any hurry.

There's an Elder Brandon on my floor and we tell everyone we are cousins because it's fun. He's a way funny guy, and he's a fat strong guy like me. None of his family is Mormon, he's from Bountiful and he's on his mission because his girlfriend sat him down once a day and they read the bom for twenty minutes. way cool story. I usually spend the night in there every night for like an hour and we just talk about random stuff. Elder Anderson from our District left to go to the Peru MTC and we had like a goodbye little devotional deal for him and it was sad, which was weird because I only knew the guy for 3 weeks. We also had a big sleepover in one of the rooms. The layout of the room allowed six mattresses to lay out on the floor, it was funny.

I miss you guys a TON. Sending pictures of Tabby made me angry though......because I wasn't there. But, I'm glad I'm here. I tried out a Come Thou Fount arrangement and they said a definite yes. Maybe because the guy who went before me was horribly but that’s ok. I'm hoping I get a devotional but I'll work my way up to it if not. Congrats to Mike for graduating, I'll send you a real card sooner or later. Keep me updated on everyone’s MTC entry dates and calls and stuff. Also an update on the NBA finals would be nice :). We are just starting to learn the second lesson in Spanish, it's rough. Well, I'm sorry I haven't written much email, but I can receive email from cousins and uncles and grandparents. So tell them to feel free. I love you all, thanks for the support.

Sincerely,

Elder Matt Dial
