Letter Dated February 11th

Dear Mom & Dad;

Elder Flamn

I am doing pretty good right now.  Trying to catch onto Spanish & learn how to teach more effectively.


I don't remember what I told you about my teachers.  But my District has two, Brother Memmot and Brother Heap.  We have both of them for 3 hours each day except Fridays and Sundays.  They are way cool guys.  Brother Memmot served in L.A. Spanish speaking.  He has one of the biggest families ever.  Its in a world record book.  He has something like 30 brothers and sister!  He is married with one kid.

Brother Heap served in Mexico City.  His older brother is in the NFL and plays for the Ravens.  And he just proposed to his girlfriend last week.

During our gym time,  I play a game called 4 square.  Since they wont let us play soccer.   And everyone who plays basketball destroys me with their skill.  But 4 square is surprisingly fun.

So I would share like a spiritual thought with a scripture, but I forgot my notebook where I take notes and my scriptures.  (I write in the wash room while I wait) so next time.


I got my last shot this week, so that should be done with.


Once a week we go to a place called TRC, where people volunteer to be taught by practicing missionaries.  It is really pretty fun to teach these people.  But we have to do some of it in Spanish which is super duper hard.

I figured out how to survive the food here.  Breakfast I have bagels and cracked wheat with sugar -- good.  Lunch I just each what they serve normally.  Dinner I just eat like a bowl of cereal and maybe a sandwich.  Otherwise the food literally kills your body.


So I am getting a surprising number of letters.  I usually get 3 dearelder.coms, 1 email (Aaron), and 4 letters.  So it keeps me busy on my P-day writing letters back.

We have interviews with a Representative from Argentina this week when they sign our visas and such.  So I really will be going there in a little while.  Its weird that I have already been gone for over 3 weeks.  Almost a month.  Pretty sweet!


I am excited for Mykel to get here this week.  I am for sure going to find him during meal times.  he gets to leave the MTC before me though :( Ha Ha.)  I am a bit jealous.

Anyway, have a good week.

Happy Valentines Day
