Dear family and friends, 

   This week has gone by so fast! Sunday was great, we had church and later in the day we went the the temple to walk around the grounds. After dinner we saw a video called " The character of Christ" by  Elder Bednar. It was an amazing. If you get the chance and its available i highly recommend it. 

    Almost every day is exactly the same. We have breakfast then 3 hours of class, then lunch after that we have 3 hours of study (personal, companion, language). Dinner and then we teach a fake investigator. Some times they switch it up and we teach then study.

   

    Yesterday I went to the Mexican consulate. That was like the second best day of my life. We rode the train, we ate a pizza at costco, we were around normal people, it was great to be in the real world for the day. Now I just need to wait 5 weeks to leave again. I might go crazy. They might send me to Mexico crazy. 

    On the plus side my Spanish is getting better. I almost don't look like a fool in class. 

            Until next Friday, 

                    Elder Ryan Morrill 

First Couple of Days

Oct 17, 2015

Dear family and friends,

    The flights over were good, I got a little sleep. I rode over with two other missionaries to the MTC. One was going to Panama and the other Brazil. When I got to the MTC I was given my books and then I put all my stuff in my room. After that I went to my first Spanish class. The second I walked in the room the teacher said something in spanish and all I could think was "oh crap!" Our next class was awful. It was a group of about 100 very green missionaries teaching an "investigator". My companion in the MTC is Elder Eves, he's a good guy. He's from Oregon also, near Medford. We're in a room with four other elders from our district, Elder Nay, Daines, Soubie, Vouhn. 

   The second day was a lot better. Still had no idea what was going on in Spanish class.

   Today is our prep day. When getting breakfast I ran into my cousin Zach Tolen. Yesterday I ran into a couple friends from West Salem. Later today we will go to the Temple. Then after diner we get to teach an investigator all in Spanish! Yay!!! 

  Love, 

    Elder Morrill
