MTC letters

From his last letter on August 4th.
Hey everyone! I just got back from an amazing session in the Temple! I love that place so much! Thanks for the brownies! I'm the most popular edler in the zone now, hah. This week has been pretty crazy. We're legitimately into Spanish now. Tonight is the first time we're teaching en espanol in what's called the TRC. Pretty crazy stuff, but way fun, definitely! Time really is flying by now. It's crazy I only have a month left here and then it's off to the field of labor. We've had some good times this week.

I've been trying to work my hardest. I finished the Book of Mormon again this week. It only took me a few weeks! Crazy! Elder Holder (companion) and I set a goal to read 20 pages a day a few weeks ago and it's paid off! I love that book so much! The next thing I have to accomplish is reading it in Spanish....That's a little harder though. 20 pages a day would take me probably a few hours if I actually wanted to undertand what I'm reading. The language is coming, though. I find that I can understand a little more with each passing day.

I'm happy, I truly am.
Love Elder Alexander
