And then there were 7...

Hola,

Hey hows it going? I really appreciate getting mail from everybody, Its a real pleasure...Sorry if I do not write back right away, I'm a busy man, and these 16 hour days can get kind of long. Well this Tuesday the 28th, the 4 elders in our district are heading to the ccm (MTC) in the Dominican Republic. So there will be more room in the class WOOHHOOO... But I will really miss them. I would rather have the room crammed with them than empty without them.

This last Tuesday we had the pleasure of hearing the words of elder Russell M. Nelson, the MTC was really going above and beyond to make sure we were there early, and that we brought our ensign that we received 3 days before(I guess the don't usually give those to missionaries) So we showed up to the fireside about a hour and a half early to make sure we got good seats. We ended up getting the second row just in time... The whole time we thought it was going to be the prophet... but it wasn't.... Russell M. Nelson was just as good though. He taught us how wee need to know everything about the book of Mormon we can , if we want to be able to teach the investigators more about it. Also when we start to read the Book of Mormon we don't start reading at "I Nephi" we need to begin with the introduction. So that night I did exactly that... and wow its amazing it explains the Book of Mormon perfectly... It defiantly strengthened my testimony about the book of Mormon.

So every Wednesday our gym time is at 12:00-12:50, and we always play 4 square outside. So when we are coming back into the MTC we are always laughing and telling jokes and stuff... But once we walk in and see all the Missionaries coming in... it gets real quite and sad, it takes us about 30 min to recover... one thing that really eases our mind is knowing we are speaking Spanish and not Cantonese or Japanesse (Sorry President Mccune)

Ok I'm about to go crazy there are these Cantonese Missionaries in the lab and are using a progam that helps you speak you language.  You can listen to the word... then say it/ record it then play it back and listen to yourself...This Hermana next to me is saying it as loud as she can... CHING OYE WA over and over and over and over again... And when your focusing on trying to write a letter in a really short amount of time... It gets really difficult hahahaha...

I have to go get my haircut today and I have heard the two styles they have to choose from are short and long :(... I wish Katie was here hahaha

Ooo a couple of thing to look up on LDS.org are sanctify yourself (Elder Holland) the one on gold panning and william tindale... all of them are videos oh and the joseph smith one.

Tell the H's That Elder H left today to Paraguay and is doing well.

Mom could you send me there address to send them pictures of him?

I Love you all so much and I can not wait to hear from you...(Send letters and Pictures Please I love them )

Love you mom and dad

Love

Elder Dayley
