Letter mailed from MTC--written 8/13/14

Dear Best Family in the World!
Today has been crazy. Emailing you guys today was so awesome, they should bump it up to twice a week Haha. Anyway, I guess I'll try to give you more details...We pretty much study for like 3 HOURS every morning...which I honestly think is way too much time but whatever...then we go to class for another 3 freaking hours. Then break. The class for 3 more hours. Holy. It's getting old. haha. So glad I'm leaving in a few days. We teach investigators like every day so that's cool. P-day was sooo nice. So nice. Definitely needed a break. So yeah today I met my new zone coming in & they are all pretty cool guys. It's weird how I'm the expert now & I've been here for 7 days--haha. So yeah as I said my companion is definitely easy to get along with, he is from Pocatello, went to Highland High School, played a ton of sports, blah blah, has an identical twin in the MTC! Crazy. He just get super excited about every freaking thing. Like way too excited, it gets a little annoying, plus he never shuts up. Ever. It'd be nice if he'd be willing to talk about anything besides the Gospel, haha. He had like the most intense/random breakdown on Sunday so I went & found him and gave him the Jesse Mitchell pep-talk. I need to be a pro cause I fixed him. 
Anyway, I LOVE getting stuff from you guys. I read your letters over and over again. How is football? (Joey, Ace, Jake) Better be working hard! Drew, having a good time? Excited for school? Do you miss me Sophie? Haha. I miss all of you! Take care of Bear, tell him I love him too. I miss all of you so much! I love you guys, can't wait to talk to you again.

Love, 
Elder Mitchell
p.s. Let me know if you have questions, I'll try to answer them in my next one!
