1st Week at MTC

SOOOO first things first, I dont want to hear from you in just emails, its kinda sad that im not getting any letters or anything, thats why you got the address the very first day. And tell Breggie a big thanks for that card she hid in my luggage, that made me really happy! Um also some foot powder to help with stinky feet. And give this email address to Kira and Brock, and tell them to send me stuff as well, not just emails. Well my preparation day is tuesday as you probably know now. On the 11th was the first day of course, I met my companion Elder Huntsman. And our roomates are both Brazilian. The food at the cafiteria really isnt to great. The Branch President of the new missionaries called me to be a District Leader the very first day, and i was kinda freaking out about it. The 12th was the first day of class and was very busy. My teachers talked mostly in japanese so it was useless for me that first day. Our class room is on the fifth floor, which s the highest floor on the tallest building. so i get to walk the stairs up and down over 4 times a day woo hoo. Also i learned how to pray in japanese, but i struggle, A LOT. The 13th, ha friday the 13th, it really was bad luck for me, i was miserable all day because i woke up sick with what i thought was the stomach flu and i threw up a few times and it hasnt bee much fun yet. The 14th was valintines day, I woke up feeling sick this day also, but after my first day at gym i felt a little bit better, the snow was melting yesterday then it snowed literally all day on the 14th. I got really annoyed cause i am the District leader, but no one explained anything to me so i couldnt answer questions at all. The 15th was my first sunday, I had a decent day. I might have to give a talk next sunday though =/ There was a great fireside sunday night that i loved. the hymns i cant get out of my head are #228 and# 97.it just helped relax me and bring the spirit. The 16th I realized i like one teacher better out of the 2 since one makes it more fun and easier to learn.. At gym this day i did the leg press and did all the weight on it (about 400 lbs) so i got bored with that and started doing basketball.So that was just short stuff from my journel. ill try and get pictures to you in a letter when i can, but im only able to take pics on sunday and tuesday. I love you All SOOO much and miss you all. I pray for you everyday and hope you are doing the same. Please write letters to me. i want to hear from you more then once a week.And i dont know if i put this but ill need lots of stamps, both national and international for letters please. And send pictures of the family and what not.Again I LOVE YOU so much and kinda wish i was home.

Love you all, Elder (PR) Coffey
