Hi mom! I am doing very well. I am starting to get used to waking up at 6:00 every morning. The food here is hit and miss but the past 2 days have been really yummy.
I love my companions Elder Romney is from Rexburg and his family owns Mill Hollow. Elder Park is from Shelley. We are in a 3 some. We all get along perfect. I have been called as district leader over my MTC district. I am really excited!   Elder Baily is from Michigan and his dad is the state rep. Elder Reed is from
St Louis MO. They are both going to Boise Idaho for their mission. Elder Webster is from
St Goerge and Elder Larsen is from Lewiston, Idaho.   I like my branch president and his wife a lot. They are from Orem. I am getting along great with all of my district elders. I love them all. When I first got dropped off everyone was so nice saying "Welcome to the MTC elder!" I heard that from like 30 missionaries throughout the day.
  I got to see Alan!  We have lunch and dinner around the same time. I saw some dude from my high school here to. I'm excited for Will to get here next week. The spirit is so strong here it is amazing. I am just soaking it up. I feel there is angels surrounding me and everyone here helping us learn and to protect us.
 We get to go to the temple once a week on our P day. The MTC rules are very strict but I don't mind. There are lots of vending places to get snacks and soda and ice cream. I am gaining weight already I can feel im starting to get a gut.
There is a tree here called the skittles tree and its just a pine tree but it smells like skittles exactly! There is a guy in my hall way that makes a Chihuahua bark and it sounds just like one LOL!
All of my teachers are wonderful and perfect they are really neat people. They are college students at BYU that come in for a few hours a day to help out. Its really cool.
It is warm here today and theres flowers everywhere I am really excited. I walked outside this morning and smelled the flowers, dirt, and the trees. It was a really good smell.
 I wish I would have packed more t-shirts. We have gym everyday if you could please send some of mine to me that would be fine and dandy lke sour candy.
Theres lots of really neat paintings here at the MTC that  I have never seen before that are really cool.
 I have been getting so much done it is crazy. I dont have any free time at all.  I have learned so much the past 4 days its not even funny. Time is going to fly by here. I'm waiting to go into conference right now. I'ts held in the gym. 
I love you guys with all my heart and I pray for you everynight and day.
Love your missionary Jonathan :)
