Things are great!  I will admitt it yes i am ready to get out of the mtc haha this gets old real quick but its still has that same spiritual feeling that i had the day i walked in!  I get released zone leader tomorrow me and elder anderson!  We are flying out monday morning!  We are leaving the MTC at 3:30 in the morning haha oh boy thats going to be a long day!  I have had a great week we took part in a couple preisthood blessing that some elders in the zone needed!  That was so spiritual having like twelve worthy preisthood holders with there hands on one elder it felt so powerfull which is what the preisthood really is!  I can not wait to be out in the mission field getting in the regular mission groove! i was able to email today because the branch president let us kind of have half a pday today since we leave on our pday! I was able to meet elder christiensen from the district movie series this week he works at the main MTC and he taught one of our seminars on wednesday really cool guy!  Tell my little buddy Chase "poulter" thanks for the prayers they sure have helped :) Thank you mom for all the packages me and our district love you Cleve and Marlene i love you guys too thank you so much :)  The letters have really helped it I love letters so much guys! Hope you enjoy that new Iphone of yours mom  i sure miss it!
