2nd Week at the MTC - Provo

Hola the outside world!!! this is Elder Davidson reporting. Today marks the beginning of my fourth week here at the MTC I've completed 3 weeks so far without sustaining to many permanently scarring memories. My District is great, we have so many great missionaries. Hermana Hoppe left yesterday for Sacramento California 4 weeks early because she has celiac sprue and she got extremely sick, so the church decided to send her early to the field... Which is way better than the alternative, going home early. We are all so proud of her sticking through this tough time. We have such an incredibly diverse district, we've got some unusual missionaries and one is a convert, Hermana McGrath, she is an amputee of about 15 years, she had cancer in her leg when she was 7 and had it removed and has been on crutches ever since. We all are so different but we really have learned to help each other out and to grow. The MTC food is good, but i recommend TUMS. The Spanish is coming along great, I am loving it. I just need to find more ways to apply it more in conversation and teaching. The work is coming along great, I'm just learning to get more and more don't with the time i have. I gotta go now, i have to finish my laundry I'll write more later. Oh by the way, I'm playing piano in the Sunday night fireside so that should be lots of fun Ciao everybody!!!

1st Post From MTC

This is the second week i've been here at the MTC. All is going well, the work is hard, but its not "THAT HARD" like dad was saying...
i guess maybe because i don't have to memorize the discussions. It definitely takes some getting used to the whole companion thing 24 hours a day seven days a week, even when you go to the bathroom, they're waiting
outside. I just love it here, the food is good (but i would recommend
TUMS) and my companion is amazing. He is such a good influence and an incredibly hard working elder. I love my zone, our President, President Rail is so funny. I really like the schedule, even though i'm convinced that i don't get enough sleep. Oh well, what can i do about that.... I love my teachers, Hermana Newcomer and Hermano Brown. Hermana Newcomer went to California on her Mission so it makes it nice to have someone who went stateside teaching us the language... She's already taught us so much.
Before i forget, my address is Elder Rees Mckay Davidson (enter) MTC Mailbox # 173 (enter) CA- SAC 1121 (enter)2005 N. 900 E.

SO i am having an amazing time, thanks so much for the letters you sent me, I love it here. I am learning so much about the spanish language, my companion and I are getting along pretty well... the only thing is he struggles a lot with speaking spanish. I have the most spanish background out of everyone in my district, which has been a blessing, and a curse. I love my district. elder Davis is my district leader, he's 21 and his companion elder Markham as 20. I'm NExt, then my companion is a month younger than me. I have progressed so much spiritually over the last two weeks. I am going to try to keep that progress, and hopefully continue to grow with the same intensity. It is the most amazing thing, going on a mission. I'm so glad to hear all about the family and Ariel, and Derek and Caitlin and everybody. Be sure to write back, if you want to email me back you can, but i can only really email from this email... i can't check more than one.
