hopefully you get this before a real letter, they say it takes ten days, but i'm sending one off today so if nothing else you will get this then. I love it here though. very different from the provo MTC. i knew it would be much smaller but there are only 21 missionarys here and the maximum capacity is 35. My classes have been good so far, it's hard to stay awake toward the end of the day, especially when they put on a movie clip or something like that and we are just suppose to sit and watch. my companion is elder Maseko, thats pronounced Maw-say-co. i like him a lot. he is a little bit quiet but i guess thats the culture here is to be quiet unless you are asked a question directly. but no worries, i'm bustin him out of his shell in any way i can think of. today i made him sing i'm a little snowman for everyone, with actions and everything. i had to teach it to him first, it makes sense that they dont know it here but it was still a little wierd to me. Pres. Cannon and his wife are with us all day long, they live in an apartment attached to the mtc so if nothing else we see them at every meal. they remind me of mom and dad a bit. not their personalities at all, but their relationship. he will say something and then she will say "well just so you know, i think ... in stead of whatever pres. said. i dont have much time to write so this is all for today, but i love you guys and i miss you and hopefully i'll get a message from you next week.
love,
josh

p day is saturday and i will be able to check my email then and write more then, but i am here and i am safe, i love it here, i love my companion, i love the the struggle to learn everything and then to apply it. mom, the food is good. today we had french toast and then mashed potatoes and meatballs for lunch, and chicken and rice for dinner with some sort of peanut butter and chocolate pie for dessert. the pie was delicious by the way. i sent a letter home, but they said it takes ten days to get there, and since i sent it saturday on our first p-day, it will get home ten days from then. i'll keep writing letters and e-mails, to this adress and to whatever ones you send back to me. i love you all, i'll talk to you more saturday, i miss you all, be good!Josh
